Answer:
My favorite place growing up, was the library of Downtown Swansea, I love the old book smell, like Petrichor, the pleasant smell that accompanies the first rain after a dry spell, it makes my mouth water. The librarian, much beloved by me was Shirley Johnson. She was small in stature, a cloud of white hair and freckled button nose. The fact that she rarely smiled did not make her an unfriendly or mean person, in fact she was very sweet, but shy. She could always be found at the library seated on her perch behind the front desk keeping a cautious eye on everything inside. Her diligence was always so graceful. If you were looking for a book or waiting for a returned copy, she would hold the book for you or help you search each shelf until it was located.
Answer:
I love the beach like a dog likes a bone. The warm sand sprinkling in my toes. The sound of the sea splashing against the rocks. Having ice cream so cold it makes your moth feel like it has frostbite.

About how many "empty nest" fathers express unhappiness as a result of
their children's departure from home?
Hello. You did not say if this question is referring to any text. This makes it impossible for me to provide you with a specific answer. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.
The expression "empty nest" is used to describe the feeling of discomfort and sadness that some parents feel when their children leave home. Several researches states that this sensation is more common in mothers than in fathers, with only about 25% of fathers feeling sad when their children leave. This percentage is much higher in relation to mothers, reaching around 80%.

What about the expense?
What about your hearing, your neck, your eyes?”
“Please, Daddy, please,”
she begs, wrapping herself
and all her hopes and dreams around his neck.
“I don’t think so,”
he grumbles to the blur
stomping out—his pain, his heart, his baby.
She tries again.
“Kids need their freedom, friends.
What about calling in emergencies?”
“And touching base,
Sarah. But the minutes
talking, texting, tuning out—priceless waste?”

Give up my allowance,
Do extra chores, walk the plank. Please, Dad, please?”
“We’ll see...”

Hope Is the Thing with Feathers - Comprehension Questions
3. Hope is important and helpful in times of pain, sorrow, or difficulty. Which lines from the poem best supports this statement?
A. Lines 5-8 B. Lines 11-12 C. Lines 1-2 D. Lines 3-4
Answer:
A). Lines 5-8
Explanation:
In the context of Emily Dickinson's poem titled 'Hope Is The Thing With Feathers,' the 'lines from 5-8' substantiate the claim that hope plays a significant and useful in dealing with the odd times. In the second quatrain, the poetess elaborates the idea that hope seems the sweetest during rough times. Hope turns most helpful when you start suffering a storm or struggle through a difficult phase of your life. The description of the bird further conveys that hope is the armour that shields you from adverse situations and when things seem hard to us. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
"he stood like a rock as they hurled insults at him," Is an example of which poetic device?
Answer:
I believe the sentence is an example of simile.
Explanation:
A simile is a literary device which compares two different things. The purpose is to attribute the qualities of one to the other. In that sense, simile and metaphor are the same thing. What distinguishes them is that a simile will use the words "as" or "like" to establish the comparison, while the metaphor will not. For example, "your eyes are like stars" is a simile. On the other hand, "your eyes are stars" is a metaphor.
Thus, we can easily find the simile in the sentence we are analyzing here when the author says "he stood like a rock." He is comparing a person to a rock, probably with the purpose of saying that person stood there, unmoving - the same way a rock does not move.

Read an excerpt from "Television and the Public Interest" and answer the question. The speech was delivered by Newton N. Minow, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, to the nation’s television executives in 1961.
[1] … But when television is bad, nothing is worse. I invite each of you to sit down in front of your television set when your station goes on the air and stay there, for a day, without a book, without a magazine, without a newspaper, without a profit and loss sheet or a rating book to distract you. Keep your eyes glued to that set until the station signs off. I can assure you that what you will observe is a vast wasteland.
[2] You will see a procession of game shows, formula comedies about totally unbelievable families, blood and thunder, mayhem, violence, sadism, murder, western bad men, western good men, private eyes, gangsters, more violence, and cartoons. And endlessly, commercials—many screaming, cajoling, and offending. And most of all, boredom. True, you'll see a few things you will enjoy. But they will be very, very few. And if you think I exaggerate, I only ask you to try it.
[3] Is there one person in this room who claims that broadcasting can't do better? Well a glance at next season's proposed programming can give us little heart. Of 73 and 1/2 hours of prime evening time, the networks have tentatively scheduled 59 hours of categories of action-adventure, situation comedy, variety, quiz, and movies. Is there one network president in this room who claims he can't do better?
[4] The best estimates indicate that during the hours of 5 to 6 P.M. sixty percent of your audience is composed of children under twelve. And most young children today, believe it or not, spend as much time watching television as they do in the schoolroom. I repeat—let that sink in, ladies and gentlemen—most young children today spend as much time watching television as they do in the schoolroom. It used to be said that there were three great influences on a child: home, school, and church. Today, there is a fourth great influence, and you ladies and gentlemen in this room control it.
[5] If parents, teachers, and ministers conducted their responsibilities by following the ratings, children would have a steady diet of ice cream, school holidays, and no Sunday school. What about your responsibilities? Is there no room on television to teach, to inform, to uplift, to stretch, to enlarge the capacities of our children? Is there no room for programs deepening their understanding of children in other lands? There are some fine children's shows, but they are drowned out in the massive doses of cartoons, violence, and more violence. Must these be your trademarks? Search your consciences and see if you cannot offer more to your young beneficiaries whose future you guide so many hours each and every day …
[6] You must provide a wider range of choices, more diversity, more alternatives. It is not enough to cater to the nation's whims; you must also serve the nation's needs. And I would add this: that if some of you persist in a relentless search for the highest rating and the lowest common denominator, you may very well lose your audience. Because … the people are wise, wiser than some of the broadcasters—and politicians—think.
Which two sentences provide evidence that what is on television is a "vast wasteland"?
"You will see a procession of game shows … blood and thunder, mayhem, violence, sadism, murder … private eyes, gangsters, more violence, and cartoons." (paragraph 2)
"There are some fine children's shows, but they are drowned out in the massive doses of cartoons, violence, and more violence." (paragraph 5)
"Search your consciences and see if you cannot offer more to your young beneficiaries whose future you guide so many hours each and every day …" (paragraph 5)
What argument does Minow make in his speech?
Parents should demand better programs for their children to watch in the evenings.
The nation's children depend on television to entertain and educate them.

Who they are, what they do in the novel, how they are important to the story/plot- nick caraway - the great Gatsby
Answer:
I explain it
Explanation:
Nick Carraway, the story's narrator, has a singular place within The Great Gatsby. First, he is both narrator and participant. Part of Fitzgerald's skill in The Great Gatsby shines through the way he cleverly makes Nick a focal point of the action, while simultaneously allowing him to remain sufficiently in the background. In addition, Nick has the distinct honor of being the only character who changes substantially from the story's beginning to its end. Nick, although he initially seems outside the action, slowly moves to the forefront, becoming an important vehicle for the novel's messages.
