PL HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[1]Nothing that comes from the desert expresses its extremes better than the unhappy growth of the
tree yuccas. Tormented, thin forests of it stalk drearily in the high mesas, particularly in that
triangular slip that fans out eastward from the meeting of the Sierras and coastwise hills. The
yucca bristles with bayonet-pointed leaves, dull green, growing shaggy with age like an old
[5] man's tangled gray beard, tipped with panicles of foul, greenish blooms. After its death, which is
slow, the ghostly hollow network of its woody skeleton, with hardly power to rot, makes even
the moonlight fearful. But it isnÕt always this way. Before the yucca has come to flower, while
yet its bloom is a luxurious, creamy, cone-shaped bud of the size of a small cabbage, full of
sugary sap, the Indians twist it deftly out of its fence of daggers and roast the prize for their
[10] own delectation.
Why does the author use the words "bayonet-pointed" (line 4) and "fence of daggers" (line 9) to describe the leaves of the yucca tree?
To create an image of the sharp edges of the plant
To emphasize how beautiful the plant's leaves are
To explain when and where the plant grows
To show how afraid the author is of the plant
Answer:
To communicate how rare it is to find the bloom.

Write an essay about your school.
Answer:
Education is an essential part of our lives. We are nothing without knowledge, and education is what separates us from others. The main step to acquire education is enrolling oneself in a school. School serves as the first learning place for most of the people. Similarly, it is the first spark in receiving an education. My school is my second home where I spend most of my time. Above all, it gives me a platform to do better in life and also builds my personality. I feel blessed to study in one of the most prestigious and esteemed schools of the city. In addition, my school has a lot of assets which makes me feel fortunate to be a part of it. In this essay on my school, I will tell you why I love my school and what my school has taught me.
My school strikes the perfect balance between modern education and vintage architecture. The vintage buildings of my school never fail to mesmerize me with their glorious beauty.
However, their vintage architecture does not mean it is out-dated, as it is well-equipped with all the contemporary gadgets. I see my school as a lighthouse of education bestowing knowledge as well as ethical conduct upon us. In contrast to other schools, my school does not solely focus on academic performance. In other words, it emphasizes on the overall development of their students.
Along with our academics, extra-curricular activities are also organized at our school. This one of the main reasons why I love my school as it does not measure everyone on the same scale. Our hardworking staff gives time to each child to grow at their own pace which instills confidence in them. My school has all the facilities of a library, computer room, playground, basketball court and more, to ensure we have it all at our disposal.
A school is a place where I developed my artistic skills which were further enhanced by my teachers. Subsequently, it led me to participate in inter-school completions through which I earned various awards. Most importantly, my school taught me how to face failures with grace and never give up on my ambitions, no matter what happens.
To sum it up, studying in one of the respected schools has helped me a lot personally. I will always be indebted to my school for shaping my personality and teaching me invaluable lessons. It has given me friends for life and teachers that I will always look up to. I aspire to carry on the values imbibed by my school to do well in life and make it proud.

Choices by Nikki Giovanni
Answer:
Two or three months had gone by without any mention of my being a
prodigy again. And then one day my mother was watching The Ed Sullivan
Show6
on TV. The TV was old and the sound kept shorting out. Every time
my mother got halfway up from the sofa to adjust the set, the sound would go
back on and Ed would be talking. As soon as she sat down, Ed would go silent
again. She got up, the TV broke into loud piano music. She sat down. Silence.
Up and down, back and forth, quiet and loud. It was like a stiff, embraceless
dance between her and the TV set. Finally she stood by the set with her hand
on the sound dial.

Read the poem and answer the question.
[1]I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
[5]Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
[10]Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
[15]A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
[20]In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

What do all codes, such as Morse code and Braille have in common?
Answer:
Both Morse code and Braille try to use representations to form text messages.
Explanation:
Both Morse code and Braille try to use representations to form text messages.
Morse code is a method of transmitting information in text, using two distinct sound tones, which can only be understood by a qualified listener. The International Morse Code covers the conventional Latin Latin alphabet, some other Roman letters, and Arabic numbers, as well as a small amount of punctuation and standard signs, all of which are possible to be coded using only dots, dashes and spaces.
The Braille code consists of a combination of dots arranged in a cell of three rows and two columns. Through the combination of these symbols, the visually impaired can read and write any type of text. In simpler situations, Braille text can be produced using a special ruler and a stylus that records points on a base that marks the marked places.

Answer:
There is a park at night. There is a slightly old looking bench and several lit light posts on the left side of the walk way. There is a wide path of concrete to walk on and the light from the lamps reflects on it. There is very short grass on each side of the path. To separate the path from the grass there is a thin rusty brow metal rod built into the ground. There is a small trashcan in the distance too. The path seems to be slightly bumpy in near the first lamp post. There is one light post in the distance on the right. It seems to be spring or summer because there isn´t snow and the trees aren´t bare and there aren´t any leaves on the ground.
