Read the excerpt from "Lather and Nothing Else."
And so, which will it be? Murderer or hero? My fate hangs on the edge of this razor blade. I can turn my wrist slightly, put a bit more pressure on the blade, let it sink in. The skin will yield like silk, like rubber, like the strop. There is nothing more tender than a man's skin, and the blood is always there, ready to burst forth. A razor like this cannot fail. It is the best one I have.
But I don't want to be a murderer. No, sir. You came in to be shaved. And I do my work honorably. I don't want to stain my hands with blood. Just with lather, and nothing else

Which revisions fix the inappropriate shift in tense in the sentence? Janelle walks into the house and found a package. Select each correct answer. Janelle walks into the house and finds a package. Janelle walked into the house and had found a package. Janelle is walking into the house and found a package. Janelle walked into the house and found a package.
Answer:
The revisions which fix the inappropriate shift in tense in the sentence are:
A. Janelle walks into the house and finds a package.
D. Janelle walked into the house and found a package.
Explanation:
Let's underline the verbs in the original sentence and identify the tenses:
Janelle walks into the house and found a package.
The first verb is "walks", and it is clearly in the simple present tense. Notice the ending -s for the third person singular. The second verb is "found", which is the past form of the verb "find". Therefore, it is in the simple past tense.
To properly revise the sentence, we must choose between one of the two tenses so that the actions described will be in accordance. Thus, we should either use only the simple present or only the simple past for both verbs. That is precisely what we have in options A and D. Option A uses the simple present "walks" and "finds", while option D uses the simple past "walked" and "found". They are, for that reason, the correct options.

stood Ellie Fitz, the girl who lived next door who had had a secret crush

How does the use of point of view create suspense in the passage?
It is so you feel excitement for other characters. Almost as you are Edgar's best friends excited for him, but yet as you keep reading suspense for him later on.
Answer:
The use of point of view creates suspense in the passage by giving us or showing us the emotions that everything the main character is going through. It also helps lead up but first stating he completed his dream but then another girl arrived most likely gonna effect his decision,emotions, and thoughts on the situation. ( It makes the reader sort of go “oh.” In a way if that makes sense.

How does the description of Madame Carambeau’s house in paragraphs 1-2 contribute to the meaning of the passage?
This question is about "A Matter of Prejudice".
Answer:
The description of the house shows how old and outdated it was, just like its owner Madame Carambeau.
Explanation:
Madame Carambeau is a woman full of prejudices, old-fashioned, snobbish and intolerant. She lives within old concepts that no longer fit within today's society and this causes her to stop enjoying many good and happy things that life can offer, such as keeping a family together, having friends and keeping in touch with her own son. .
The old-fashioned way that Madame Carambeau lives can be seen even in her home, which has an outdated and somewhat old model by the standards where the story takes place.

excerpt from The Story of My Life
by Helen Keller
At the age of 18 months, Helen Keller was rendered deaf and blind. Unable to read, write, or speak, it was thought that Helen would never be able to communicate. "The Story of My Life" describes Helen's education with Anne Sullivan and the unorthodox teaching methods that enabled her to learn how to communicate and thrive.
We read and studied out of doors, preferring the sunlit woods to the house. All my early lessons have in them the breath of the woods—the fine, resinous odour of pine needles, blended with the perfume of wild grapes. Seated in the gracious shade of a wild tulip tree, I learned to think that everything has a lesson and a suggestion. “The loveliness of things taught me all their use.” Indeed, everything that could hum, or buzz, or sing, or bloom had a part in my education—noisy-throated frogs, katydids and crickets held in my hand until forgetting their embarrassment, they trilled their reedy note, little downy chickens and wildflowers, the dogwood blossoms, meadow-violets and budding fruit trees. I felt the bursting cotton-bolls and fingered their soft fiber and fuzzy seeds; I felt the low soughing of the wind through the cornstalks, the silky rustling of the long leaves, and the indignant snort of my pony, as we caught him in the pasture and put the bit in his mouth—ah me! how well I remember the spicy, clovery smell of his breath!
Sometimes I rose at dawn and stole into the garden while the heavy dew lay on the grass and flowers. Few know what joy it is to feel the roses pressing softly into the hand, or the beautiful motion of the lilies as they sway in the morning breeze. Sometimes I caught an insect in the flower I was plucking, and I felt the faint noise of a pair of wings rubbed together in a sudden terror, as the little creature became aware of a pressure from without.
Another favourite haunt of mine was the orchard, where the fruit ripened early in July. The large, downy peaches would reach themselves into my hand, and as the joyous breezes flew about the trees the apples tumbled at my feet. Oh, the delight with which I gathered up the fruit in my pinafore, pressed my face against the smooth cheeks of the apples, still warm from the sun, and skipped back to the house!
Our favourite walk was to Keller's Landing, an old tumbledown lumber-wharf on the Tennessee River, used during the Civil War to land soldiers. There we spent many happy hours and played at learning geography. I built dams of pebbles, made islands and lakes, and dug river-beds, all for fun, and never dreamed that I was learning a lesson. I listened with increasing wonder to Miss Sullivan's descriptions of the great round world with its burning mountains, buried cities, moving rivers of ice, and many other things as strange. She made raised maps in clay, so that I could feel the mountain ridges and valleys, and follow with my fingers the devious course of rivers. I liked this, too; but the division of the earth into zones and poles confused and teased my mind. The illustrative strings and the orange stick representing the poles seemed so real that even to this day the mere mention of temperate zone suggests a series of twine circles; and I believe that if any one should set about it he could convince me that white bears actually climb the North Pole.
Part A
What does Helen Keller's word choice in her description of her lessons with her teacher, Anne Sullivan, reveal about Keller?
A. Her lessons are easier for her when she learns them outdoors.
B.She feels connected to the natural world despite her lack of sight.
C.The natural world holds many mysteries for her that she wishes to solve.
D. She no longer misses her sense of sight when she is outside.
Question 2

B. Keller includes descriptions of natural things that she can touch and smell.
C. Keller includes the phrase “breath of the woods” to show that the natural world is living.
D.Keller includes the sentence “The loveliness of things taught me all their use” to show that nature is a teacher.

Explanation:
Consider Mathilde's motives throughout the text. What role does greed play in this story?
Answer:
The role greed plays in the story is changing Mathilde into a tired, poor old woman for not taking her husband's amount of money into consideration. Mathilde wanted to rise above her social status so badly that she asked for expensive things without regard for her poor husband, the karma for this was being worked to the bone for 10 years. Making her miserable and looking older than she really was.
The first piece of evidence is when the text says "He grew slightly pale, for this was exactly the amount he had been saving for a gun, intending to get a little shooting next summer on the plain of Nanterre with some friends who went lark-shooting there on Sundays. Nevertheless he said: "Very well. I'll give you four hundred francs. But try and get a really nice dress with the money."" This shows that Mathilde didn't take her husband's feelings and wants into account when she asked for a new expensive dress. All Mathilde wanted was to seem rich at a party of people she would never see again. When her husband already tries very hard to get this ticket it still isn't enough for her.
The second piece of evidence is when the text states ""I brought you another one just like it. And for the last ten years we have been paying for it. You realize it wasn't easy for us; we had no money.... Well, it's paid for at last, and I'm glad indeed." Madame Forestier had halted. "You say you bought a diamond necklace to replace mine?" "Yes. You hadn't noticed it? They were very much alike." And she smiled in proud and innocent happiness. Madame Forestier, deeply moved, took her two hands. "Oh, my poor Mathilde! But mine was imitation. It was worth at the very most five hundred francs!... "" This shows that all that work that Mathilde did for 10 years was pointless. She threw away her youth for a necklace that was truly only worth 500 francs. Because of Matilde's greed to seem rich she suffered, doing hard labor just to pay of a debt they didn't even have to have. If Mathilde hadn't been so greedy to not be satisfied with a nice dress and the invitation, she would have never had to be in this situation.
In conclusion because of Mathilde's greed and desire to be rich without regard for her husband she paid for it, she had to do hard work for years. In the end it turned out to not even be necessary, she had wasted 10 years of her life and her youthful beauty.
Explanation:
Mathilde was the wife of a "minor official in the Ministry of Education." In the story, "The Necklace" by Guy de Maupassant greed played a central role because Mathilde was not content with what she had. This is why she dreamed of situations that were unattainable for her.
Mathilde was not content with what she had and this is seen in her longing for what she did not have. In the text, she longed for "...vast living rooms furnished in rare old silks, elegant furniture loaded with priceless ornaments,..." She went a step further to create an impression of who she was not when she borrowed jewelry from Madame Forestier to attend an event. She lost the jewelry and paid a huge price for that. So, her longing for material things was reflective of her greedy motives.Learn more here:
