How would you describe your experience reading Henry Petroski’s “Design out of a Paper Bag”? In 75 to 100 words, describe what you think about the difficulty of the passage, its sentences and individual words, the concepts it develops, and your interest in the topic. What strategies did you use to help you understand the difficult sections? Mention some specifics that you found challenging.

Answer:

In the passage, the sentence form is complicated. This sophisticates the sound. The tone is often personal, especially as the author discusses situations at the grocery store that he has encountered. The depiction of food objects rolling around in the trunk of a vehicle, for example, is something that most readers undoubtedly have familiarity with first-hand and would find humorous. The author also jokes that the once near-perfect upstanding paper bag" has almost replaced the plastic bag. The term upstanding can be taken simply to mean something that sticks up upright like a paper bag, or it can mean positive character. So out of that the poet makes a funny pun. As the author is frustrated that plastic bags are now more tolerated than paper ones, the essay ends on an unhappy note.

Explanation:

Pls mark me brainliest if this help (:

The correct response is - The text uses complex sentence structure. This makes the sound more complex. The tone is frequently intimate, particularly as the author describes experiences in the grocery shop. For instance, most readers would find it amusing to see food items bouncing around in a car trunk because they definitely had experience with this firsthand.

A strategy is an overarching plan to accomplish one or more long-term or broad goals in the face of uncertainty.

Setting goals, doing analysis, developing a plan, putting that strategy into action, and monitoring that approach are the five steps of the process.

The key policy decisions or significant difficulties that must be resolved for a community to realize its vision are known as strategic problems. A community takes a proactive approach to establish itself for the future rather than merely responding to concerns when it addresses "strategic" challenges.

THE VOYAGES OF DOCTOR DOLITTLE
By Hugh Lofting

Chapter 1: The Cobbler's Son
My name was Tommy Stubbins, son of Jacob Stubbins, the cobbler of Puddleby-on-the-Marsh; and I was nine and a half years old. At that time Puddleby was only quite a small town. A river ran through the middle of it; and over this river there was a very old stone bridge, called Kingsbridge, which led you from the market-place on one side to the churchyard on the other.

Sailing-ships came up this river from the sea and anchored near the bridge. I used to go down and watch the sailors unloading the ships upon the river-wall. The sailors sang strange songs as they pulled upon the ropes; and I learned these songs by heart. And I would sit on the river-wall with my feet dangling over the water and sing with the men, pretending to myself that I too was a sailor.

For I longed always to sail away with those brave ships when they turned their backs on Puddleby Church and went creeping down the river again, across the wide lonely marshes to the sea. I longed to go with them out into the world to seek my fortune in foreign lands—Africa, India, China and Peru! When they got round the bend in the river and the water was hidden from view, you could still see their huge brown sails towering over the roofs of the town, moving onward slowly—like some gentle giants that walked among the houses without noise. What strange things would they have seen, I wondered, when next they came back to anchor at Kingsbridge! And, dreaming of the lands I had never seen, I'd sit on there, watching till they were out of sight.

“All right, all right.” Martin appeared, lugging an empty box. “Listen, I had a thought. You know how I’ve been talking about how these fuel runs are a dead end?”

“You’re backing out on us now?” said Jessie.

“No, no—but while we’re inland, I want to scavenge for a few other things.” Smiling, Martin jumped into the boat. “I have a plan.”

SHARKS' TEETH
Langston Carter

The day we found the sharks' teeth was foggy and cool. Moisture hung in the air so thick you could almost see it sparkling in the dim sunlight. There were days, early in the summer like this one, where it seemed there was more water in the air than in the bay. We had beached the boat and stepped out on the recently cleared spit of land. The ground had a light dusting of white sand over an under layer of dried black mud. It looked like a recently frosted chocolate cake, though the frosting was spread a bit thin for my taste. The ground was solid, but we knew from experience that it was full of fiddler crab holes, and would be underwater at the first super-high tide. Mysteriously, to us anyway, someone wanted to build a house there.

We often came to these spots to look for artifacts. Our beach, our summer home, had been a fishing camp for as long as anyone living could remember. The oldest stories told of travelers coming down to the edge of the sea, lining up to fill their wagon beds with salted fish to take back home. Old decaying cabins still lined the beach. Rotting nets, hung out to dry in the last century, decorated their weathered walls. Their broken faces spun stories in our minds. The fishermen who, tanned and wrinkled from sun and salt, hauled their nets full of splashing mullet in to cheers from the waiting crowds. The bounty of the sea lightened everyone's hearts, and the smell of roasting fish filled the damp air. Women fanned themselves from wagon seats. Children splashed in the shallow edges of the bay. It was a scene we had acted out as youngsters, building an imaginary bridge to a life we would never fully know.

I GIVE BRAINLIEST
GIVE ME LIBERTY
The Struggle for Self-Government in Virginia
Thomas J. Wertenbaker

Chapter I: The Cornerstone of Liberty
Three little vessels—the Susan Constant, the Godspeed, and the Discovery—left England in December, 1606, under the command of Captain Christopher Newport, to found a colony on the distant shores of Virginia. Two decades earlier Sir Walter Raleigh had sent out a group of settlers to what is now North Carolina, and they had disappeared mysteriously. What had happened to them? men asked. Had they been killed by the Indians? Had they fallen victims to disease? Had they starved? Those who shared in this new venture must have wondered if a like fate awaited them in this strange new land.

But their spirits rose when they entered Chesapeake Bay. Landing parties were delighted with the "fair meddowes ... full of flowers of divers kinds and colors," the "goodly tall trees," and the streams of fresh water. It was a smiling country which seemed to bid them welcome. But when they entered the mouth of a broad river, which they called the James in honor of their King, and made their way up into the country, new doubts must have assailed them. They knew that savages lived in the dense forests which lined both banks; might not strange wild beasts live there also? Might there not be fatal diseases unknown in Europe?

What is the main point of the descriptive details at the beginning of the second paragraph?

To place the reader in the moment of the first landing
To describe what the colonists were up against
To create a sense of fear and anxiety
To end the journey on a hopeful note
