Describe two details from Keller's narrative that support this purpose: to inform readers about the experience of having vision and hearing impairments. Explain how the details support this purpose.

Answer:

Explanation:

The story is an autobiography in which Hellen Keller tells people about the experiences she has had being blind and deaf and the difficulties she has faced

Keller's purpose was to show the fundamental humanity of people with disabilities and part of that is explaining her internal life as a child who could not see or hear. There is a kind of otherness to her mature writing which seems to her childhood as if her writing self was a kind of abled guide and almost a separate person from her disabled self.

she explains as much as at the beginning of her book when she speaks of her childhood that her description of her childhood, her relationships with Martha Washington, and the pranks she played on her mother.

Helen keller often shares how she worked hard to become a part of the regular world, and to be able to communicate with people effectively. Even as she got older she continued to try to learn new skills to make it easier to function.  despite being blind and deaf, she worked to learn French and German. she went to college and studied multiple subjects alongside seeing and hearing students.

Read the following persuasive paragraph. In one to two sentences, explain how the author uses a counterclaim to help support his or her position regarding school uniforms. Be sure to use proper grammar, spelling, and mechanics.

"School Uniforms"

Requiring uniforms in public high schools has been debated for many years. There are certainly many positive reasons for having students wear them. If students were uniformly dressed, there would be less distractions about clothing, adding more focus on academics. Another reason to add uniforms is that there would no longer be conflict over how young people dress. There would be no singling out of poorer students who cannot wear designer labels, and young people wouldn't have to worry so much about fitting in because of how they dress. Opponents, however, say requiring school uniforms suppresses a young person's need for individuality. This simply isn't the case, though, as students can use hairstyle, jewelry, and so on to show their individuality. Requiring school uniforms would erase a number of conflicts and problems facing high school students today.

Read this excerpt from Lord of the Flies.

Jack drew up his legs, clasped his knees, and frowned in an effort to attain clarity.

"All the same—in the forest. I mean when you’re hunting, not when you’re getting fruit, of course, but when you’re on your own—"

He paused for a moment, not sure if Ralph would take him seriously.

"Go on."

"If you’re hunting sometimes you catch yourself feeling as if—" He flushed suddenly.

"There’s nothing in it of course. Just a feeling. But you can feel as if you’re not hunting, but—being hunted, as if something’s behind you all the time in the jungle."

What does the excerpt indicate about Jack?

He is happy to have others take charge of things.

He wants people to think he is fearless.

His arrogance masks a degree of fear.

His kindness masks a streak of cruelty.

PLZ I GIVE BRAINLIEST Well, three or four months run along, and it was well into the winter now. I had been to school most all the time and could spell and read and write just a little, and could say the multiplication table up to six times seven is thirty-five, and I don't reckon I could ever get any further than that if I was to live forever. I don't take no stock in mathematics, anyway.

At first I hated the school, but by and by I got so I could stand it. Whenever I got uncommon tired I played hookey, and the hiding I got next day done me good and cheered me up. So the longer I went to school the easier it got to be. I was getting sort of used to the widow's ways, too, and they warn't so raspy on me. Living in a house and sleeping in a bed pulled on me pretty tight mostly, but before the cold weather I used to slide out and sleep in the woods sometimes, and so that was a rest to me. I liked the old ways best, but I was getting so I liked the new ones, too, a little bit. The widow said I was coming along slow but sure, and doing very satisfactory. She said she warn't ashamed of me.

Passage A — One way to enjoy a healthier lifestyle is to grow your own vegetables. That way, you know they are free from harmful chemicals. Where do you start if you want to grow your own healthy food? Start with the soil. If this is your first adventure in gardening, start small. Choose plants that are easy to tend and that will grow well in the soil you have. Deciding what to grow is the first step and it will help decide how big of a garden you want. Not all plants grow in the same way. You have to consider which plants prefer sunlight and which prefer shade. This will help with picking the best spot for your garden. Once you have decided where you will plant your garden, you can move on to planning your garden's layout. You don't want your tall plants growing next to the shorter ones and blocking out the sun. You also want to make sure there is enough room between the rows to allow for weeding. Proper planning makes planting a breeze. Passage B — It is more expensive to build a green roof than it is to lay asphalt or shingles on a roof, but the trend is growing. The basic green roof requires a frame, waterproof membrane, gravel for drainage, fibrous material to retain moisture, soil for planting, and a barrier that prevents roots from penetrating the building. Green roofs started in Europe and are now gaining a strong foothold in the United States. The largest green roof in New York City is built on the roof of a processing and distribution facility. It is actually the biggest green roof in the country. Being in New York, it has faced snow, rain, freezing, and thawing. It has survived it all. The city of Chicago, Illinois, now has more green roofs than any other U.S. city. There are 7 million square feet of green roofs planted across the city. Toronto, Canada, is the first city in the western hemisphere to mandate green roofs on all new tall buildings. Green roofs are beneficial, not only to the environment, but also to the cities that build them. A recent study in Toronto suggested that if 75 percent of the flat roofs were greened, the city could save $37 million a year on storm water management and energy bills.

Explain why people are building green roofs to live healthier lives. Use information from both texts in your answer.

Read the following excerpt from Susan B. Anthony's speech "On Women's Right to Vote" and think about how the speaker tries to persuade her audience.

Webster, Worcester, and Bouvier all define a citizen to be a person in the United States, entitled to vote and hold office.

The only question left to be settled now is: Are women persons? And I hardly believe any of our opponents will have the hardihood to say they are not. Being persons, then, women are citizens; and no state has a right to make any law, or to enforce any old law, that shall abridge their privileges or immunities. Hence, every discrimination against women in the constitutions and laws of the several states is today null and void, precisely as is everyone against Negroes.


What kind of persuasive appeal does Anthony use in this excerpt?


A: Appeals to ethics.

B: Appeals to logic.

C: Counterarguments.

D: Appeals to emotion.

Shawn sat in his seat as the morning bell rang and released a big yawn. He rubbed his eyes and could feel how baggy they were. He stretched as the teacher went to the front of the class and began talking, "Good morning, students! I'll take attendance while you start working on that test that I promised you." The class let out a collective groan, but Shawn's eyes widened. He began rummaging through his backpack and pulled out a crumpled notebook with part of the cover torn off it. He frantically rifled through the pages, many of which were filled with just a few words or doodles. The teacher looked directly at Shawn as he said, "OK, class, put your notes away and clear off your desks. It's test time." Shawn began looking around the room frantically. He saw Cassie sitting next to him. Shawn whispered, "Psst... Cassie." She turned to him with a scowl. His eyes pleaded with hers. "Not gonna happen, Shawn," Cassie said loudly. This startled Shawn and he jumped in his seat. The teacher looked at Shawn again, "No more talking class." 6. Was Shawn up late last night studying for the test? _______________________________________ How do you know this?
