The Stag at the Pool
There was once a Stag who was tremendously proud of his beautiful horns. They were large and well-formed, with many points. The other animals of the forest bowed to him, and they often spoke of his antlers with admiration. “How beautiful your horns are!” the Fox and the Rabbit would say. “They are as glossy as satin or sunlight reflecting off water!”
Whenever the Stag passed a pool of water, he would stop to look in and admire his magnificent horns. One day, he was passing through a meadow. He came to a clear pond and bent to the water. There was his reflection, as glorious as ever. “No one in the world has such astonishing antlers as mine!” he said, preening as he turned this way and that.
A stag looks off into the distance.
For the first time, though, he noticed his legs reflected in the water. “How lean my legs are!” he said. “I wish they were thicker and stronger. My wonderful antlers look ridiculous atop a body with such weak-looking legs!”
The Stag was so engrossed that he did not notice that a Lion had crept up alongside him. Suddenly, he saw the Lion reflected in the pond. For a moment the two animals stared at each other in the water. The Lion displayed his teeth, flaunting them as if he were bragging. The Stag leaped away, terrified, and the Lion immediately gave chase.
Through the meadow the Stag raced, gasping in fear. The ground was flat and even, and the Stag moved with the velocity of an arrow shot from a bow. His legs kept him far ahead of the Lion, whose legs were much shorter and thicker than his own. From a distance, the other animals watched the chase.
“The Stag will surely outrun the Lion!” the Fox cried.
The Rabbit said, “Oh, he must, he must!” But then the Stag entered the forest, dense with trees.
Weaving among the trees, the Stag kept ahead of the Lion at first. He was not fatigued at all, for his long legs could carry him far and fast without tiring, but the branches of some of the trees hung low, and vines curled around them. The vines clutched at the Stag’s antlers as he dodged among the trees. Before he knew it, the Stag had caught his antlers in the branches and vines. Closer and closer the Lion came, smiling with its sharp teeth showing. The Stag, knowing his end was near, closed his eyes and sighed deeply.
“Oh,” he said, “how I have fooled myself! The long legs that I hated would have saved me, but the antlers that I loved have led to my destruction!”

Maria's long dark hair.
This is best described as a ...
a. Sentence fragment
b. Run-on sentence
c. Grammatically correct sentence
Answer:
a. Sentence fragment
Explanation:
A sentence fragment is an incomplete sentence that could possibly be a part of another sentence. We can determine the sentence is not grammatically correct if it lacks a subject or a verb.
“Maria's long dark hair.” is the statement that lacks the verb. There is not an action performed by or on Maria’s hair. This is just partly information about the state of Maria’s hair, and not the full sentence.
For example, the full sentences would be:
Maria’s hair is long and dark. – in this example ‘is’ is the verb, and we learn about the hair from the full sentence that has both subject and a verb.Maria’s long dark hair is shining. - in this example we have the verb shining, meaning it performs some action. We also have the verb and the subject in this sentence, which makes it correct.negative sentences I will call you tonight

Answer:

Should schools teach empathy? If so, how can they do so effectively? If not, why not?
Answer:
yes
Explanation: yes empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another there for schools should teach empathy because it can teach people how to be kinder and better people
i hope this helped :)
Answer: Yes.
Explanation: I'd argue that, more than anything, empathy should be the one thing a kid should walk away with as they graduate from school. Empathy is important because it helps us understand how others are feeling so we can respond appropriately to the situation. Say, if we look at the death of George Floyd this past summer-- if you're not a person of color, this is something that can be hard to relate to. When schools teach us how to offer a helping hand or a listening ear to people who are hurting, we become so much better equipped to help those who need it. Of course, empathy without boundaries can lead to self-destruction. By caring too much, one can fall into a spiral of feeling like they can't provide enough help to others. This, again, leads us to why schools should teach about empathy-- so we can properly give help to others but know when we need to focus on ourselves.
