is Writing a script should be the first thing to do when making a documentary?
I would assume it depends on what kind of documentary is being recorded. But ideally, no. It would be better for the filming to occur and then a narrator's script to be written after all of the filming. That way, all of the filming is genuine quotations and isn't scripted.
A novel recounts the tale of a handsome and sophisticated outcast who wins the heart of the elegant daughter of a leading family. From which literary period does this novel likely come? A. Realism B. Naturalism C. Postmodernism D. Romanticism
Answer:
The literary period is most likely: D. Romanticism.
Explanation:
The artistic movement known as Romanticism started at the same historical moment as the French Revolution. As a consequence, literature was greatly influenced by the Revolution and what it accomplished.
The Romantic hero is an outcast, a man rejected by society and who also rejects society himself. He focuses on the self, on his inner struggles, and his thoughts are given more importance than his actions. It is common for him to be isolated to some extent, often due to past mistakes or hardships that still influence his lifestyle and need for introspection.
It is important to note that women were idealized in Romantic literature. They often came from wealthy families - there were some exceptions, though - and their love is usually the driving force behind the Romantic hero's actions. Women in Romantic literature were often described as perfect, having their traits and qualities overemphasized.
Having that explanation in mind, we can safely say that the story of the handsome outcast who wins the heart of the daughter of a leading family most likely belongs to Romanticism.

Pretend that your local school board is considering cutting the study of world literature from the school curriculum. Keeping in mind what you have learned about persuasive writing, state whether you believe this is a good idea, and then briefly describe one argument you would make to support your belief.
Answer:
What makes our heart moving? What else could it be except arts including literature? In a technology-driven world today, it is often thought that scientific subjects will be more important than arts subjects, but what makes us different from robots and machines? It is that we have feeling and emotion, and literature nurtures these mental values for us. The ultimate goal of education is not only offering us academic knowledge but also teaching us about mental responsibilities such as respect for older generation, so that students can become well-rounded citizens. If world literature is cut from school curriculum, it will be a great loss because good mental values from all around the globe will not be passed through young generation anymore.
PLS HELPPPPP When the egwugwu destroy Mr. Smith’s church, "for the moment the spirit of the clan was pacified" (Ch. 22). Explain what the ironic implications of this statement are, since we learn the title of the book that the District Commissioner intends to write: The Pacification of the Primitive Tribes of the Lower Niger (Ch. 25).
Answer:
Euphemism that ¨backfires¨ and produces irony.
Explanation
The Pacification of the Primitive Tribes of the Lower Niger
is a euphemism for using whatever force it takes to control and suppress other peoples. It backfires because the same word Pacification is used to describe a violent (non-pacific) event, by the same people who are supposed to be pacified by force, that lead surprisingly to for the moment the spirit of the clan was pacified.

Answer: the answer is: The woman with her husband and two kids (are) standing outside right now.
Explanation: happy to help!!

Ignore along with/ together with/ as well as/ except(Subject) in a sentence and look at the first subject. In this case, the woman is the subject. the woman is singular, so the answer should be is.
