A summary refers to a brief introduction of any topic in your own words to make the reader easily understand the plot and setting of any story and help them to engage effectively.

The king of Thebes, who unintentionally killed his father and wed his mother, is the central figure in Oedipus Rex's central story. Oedipus's feet are made to represent both his fate and his own ignorance of who he is in the story.

The lesson of the story is that you are unable to change your fate. Oedipus discovers that the monarch was his father and that Queen Jocasta, whom he had married, was his mother.

Therefore, option C is appropriate.

In this task, you will write a fictional or nonfiction narrative of about 750 to 1000 words on a theme that is present in some of the selections from Victorian literature that you read in this unit. Below are a few themes involving difficult childhood circumstances and ill-fated love, both of which figured in this unit’s readings. In developing your own narrative, you can choose one of these themes, create a variation on one of them, or use another theme in consultation with your teacher:

a child who does not fit well into his or her social circumstances
a child who is perceived as bad when he or she is actually good, or vice versa
an orphan or displaced child who faces struggles similar to those of Oliver Twist, Kim, or Heathcliff
two people who are attracted to one another but are prevented from uniting due to social norms or related personal conflicts
You can write your narrative in any style. For example, you could write in a modern style or imitate the style of one of the authors whose works you examined in this unit. Your narrative can be about real events and people, it can be fictionalized, or it can be a mix of real and fictional events and people.

A narrative can be a full-fledged story or an anecdote that mainly conveys key events and conflicts. Some narratives take the form of a case study that describes the circumstances of a person's situation from a sociological point of view.

Regardless of what type of narrative you are writing, it will be richer and more enjoyable to read if it includes many of the elements of fiction. Before writing, you should decide which literary elements to develop most fully.

Read the following speech excerpt and then select the correct answer to the question below:
President George W. Bush's speech to the troops on the USS Abraham Lincoln
Our mission continues. Al-Qaida is wounded, not destroyed. The scattered cells of the terrorist network still operate in many nations, and we know from daily intelligence that they continue
to plot against free people. The proliferation of deadly weapons remains a serious danger. The enemies of freedom are not idle, and neither are we. Our government has taken
unprecedented measures to defend the homeland- and we will continue to hunt down the enemy before he can strike
The war on terror is not over, yet it is not endless. We do not know the day of final victory, but we have seen the turning of the side. No act of the terrorists will change our purpose, or weaken
our resolve, or alter their fate. Their cause is lost. Free nations will press on to victory
Other nations in history have fought in foreign lands and remained to occupy and exploit Americans, following a battle, want nothing more than to return home. And that is your direction
tonight. After service in the Afghan and Iraqi theaters of war-after 100,000 miles, on the longest carrier deployment in recent history-you are homeward bound. Some of you will see
new family members for the first time-150 babies were born while their fathers were on the Lincoln. Your families are proud of you, and your nation will welcome you.
How does the sentence "Americans, following a battle, want nothing more than to return home" support the central idea of the speech?

A. It furthers the notion that Americans want nothing to do with war against terrorists.

B. It supports the idea that American troops will not occupy another country after defeating the enemy.

C. It supports the point that the war is an ongoing effort that cannot be won overnight.

D. It contributes to the notion that being a soldier is physically and emotionally demanding work.

For one, one of my many motives for trying to get into honors English is that English is my favorite subject as well as the class will higher my chance of getting into honors 8th grade which will do the same thing in high school and I could get credits for honors English and will look better on my “college application” And that is my reasoning for applying for honors English 7th-grade class.
It is a good reason t0 choose me as I bring a lot to the classroom with my skills. Some of my skills are that I work well with others and I am a hard worker who turns in quality work on time and that's why I would be a good addition to the classroom.
I also enjoy reading which is a bonus as some of my 7th-grade friends have told me that we do a lot of reading in your classroom. I have already acknowledged the requirements and can confirm that I meet all those standards. I would really appreciate it if you would consider me as one of your honorable English candidates.
