Answer:
The hourglass structure is one such device. A story shape that journalists can employ when they have news to report and a story to tell. Earlier this week, I listened to Christine Martin, dean of West Virginia’s Perley Isaac Reed School of Journalism, describe the form to Poynter’s summer fellows as a useful tool for reporters searching for a form.The best stories often create their own shape; writers consider their material, determine what they want the story to say, and then decide on the best way to say it.But journalists, like all writers, sometimes rely on tried-and-true forms and formulas: the inverted pyramid, the “five boxes” approach, the nut graf story. You need to be familiar with these forms whether or not you decide to write your story in a completely new way.“Formulaic writing has gotten a bad name,” says Poynter Online Editor Bill Mitchell, a veteran reporter and editor. “Done right, it diverts creatively from formula in ways that serve the needs of the story at hand. Tying the reporting, as well as the writing, to the form lends a discipline and focus that produce better stories.”The hourglass was named by my colleague Roy Peter Clark in 1983 after he had begun to notice something new in his morning paper.Clark was a likely discoverer. A college English literature professor-turned-newspaper writing coach and reporter, he used his skills as a literary scholar and his experience in the newsroom to deconstruct the form.In an article published in the Washington Journalism Review (since renamed American Journalism Review), he described this form and gave it a distinctive name: the hourglass. It provided an alternative, Clark said, “that respects traditional news values, considers the needs of the reader, takes advantage of narrative, and spurs the writer to new levels of reporting.”Clark said the hourglass story can be divided into three parts:Here you deliver the news in a summary lead, followed by three or four paragraphs that answer the reader’s most pressing questions. In the top you give the basic news, enough to satisfy a time-pressed reader. You report the story in its most concise form. If all that is read is the top, the reader is still informed. Because it’s limited to four to six paragraphs, the top of the story should contain only the most significant information.Here you signal the reader that a narrative, usually chronological, is beginning. Usually, the turn is a transitional phrase that contains attribution for the narrative that follows: according to police, eyewitnesses described the event this way, the shooting unfolded this way, law enforcement sources and neighbors agree.The hourglass can be used in all kinds of stories: crime, business, government, even to report meetings. It’s best suited, however, for dramatic stories that can be told in chronological fashion. In the right hands, as the following story from The Miami Herald illustrates, the hourglass is a virtuoso form that provides the news-conscious discipline of the inverted pyramid and the storytelling qualities of the classic narrative.

Why do you suppose Odysseus receives the warnings to leave the cattle of Helios alone? Did he do enough to encourage his men to listen to the advice? Why or why not?
Explain your opinion in a complete paragraph with at least 5 sentences. Refer to specific details from The Odyssey to support your opinion.
Answer:
Odysseus was given the warning to leave Helios' cattle alone because they were sacred to Helios. He did repeatedly tell his men not to eat the cattle but he didn't give them a reason why. Had Odysseus told the men that the cows were sacred Helios cattle perhaps his men would've listened. Odysseus realized that starving for a few days/weeks was nothing compared to facing a gods wrath. However, due to the lack of knowledge, Odysseus' men weren't given the chance to realize that and it resulted in a fate worse than starving, death.

Song: Animal Crossing: Wild World - Main Theme
Memory: When I was a kid, my parents gave me a rose pink Nintendo DS that they scored in a garage sale, along with a copy of the game Animal Crossing: Wild World. What my parents didn't realize was that this gift would create one of my most long-standing hobbies of all time. I still remember the night when I first booted up the game on the tiny console-- I was sitting in my pink-walled room, right underneath an open windowsill. It was raining, and the sickly-sweet smell of wet grasses and trees was filling my senses as the theme song of the game gently ran through my room. I remember the dorky smile that grew on my face as I was driven to my virtual town by a little green turtle. Even today, I smile when I think about that night and how giddy I was to start up that game.
Song: Panacea - Disasterpeace (might not work if you don't live in the north)
Memory: I had snuck out late at night while staying with my grandparents, having just read an article about how aurora borealis was going to be especially visible in my area. I remember my heart pounding as I gently closed the door to the run-down cottage, hoping to not wake up their pet dog. I had crossed the threshold, and suddenly, I was bounding through the forest, looking for a small clearing to maximize my viewing of the northern lights. When I had finally settled down on an overturned tree, I turned my gaze skyward and put on my favorite playlist. I still remember vividly listening to the song Panacea by Disasterpeace as the lights finally came into view. It was both a beautiful and haunting sight, matched perfectly with the eerie tone of the song. Whenever I hear the song, I'm taken back to that fateful night.
Let me know if you want more! I have lots of stories :)

In the poem "Relations" by Mayli Vang (published in 2000), the speaker describes her family. Read the poem carefully. Write a paragraph in which you make a defensible claim regarding how Vang uses contrasts to convey the complex relationships among the members of the speaker's family. In your paragraph, you should incorporate at least one piece of evidence from the text to support your claim.
Answer:
Vang uses contrasting coping methods to convey the complex relationships among the members of the speaker’s family.
Explanation:
i think Vang is trying to show all the different and varying methods people use to cope and this poem does well of showing this. all the methods contrast each other in some way. some grieving methods are beneficial while some are just used to take the pain away and are used as a distraction. for example, mom sews, brother left and gets in trouble, an sister cooks. as for the main character he puts his full focus into his grades which is extremely good.
The paragraph required by the question presented above, must be written based on your interpretation of the poem. This interpretation is something very personal and should be done by you, for that reason, I can't write the paragraph for you, but I'll show you how it can be written.
First, it is important that you read and reread the entire poem, being able to fully understand it. To help you with this, you can use articles that use this poem as a basis. These articles will show you aspects that you may not have noticed and that will improve your interpretation.
Once you understand the poem, you can show how the contrasts used by the poetess impact the message she wants to convey and how this is relevant to the reader.
In relation to these contrasts presented in the poem, we can state that:
Mayli Vang uses these contrasts to highlight how social gender roles were influenced in her family.She shows how these roles created huge differences between her and her siblings, as well as between her parents.These differences harmed the family structure in a very intense way, which even harmed the coexistence among the family members.You can get more information at the link below:
