Good authors choose their words very carefully. Take a few minutes to write a short paragraph describing an experience you have recently had. Pick a location you went to or an event you attended. Once you have finished, read over what you have written. Now, write a second paragraph. In it, you will repeat the information from the first paragraph, but you will choose your words more carefully. Ask yourself questions like What words capture this image exactly? What is the best word to convey how something looked, or how I felt? Take more time with the second paragraph.
Your response should be at least 150 words in total.

Transitional words include the words "and," "but," "so," and "because." They make it clear to your reader how words, sentences, and even paragraphs relate to one another. By utilizing them, you help your readers comprehend how the connections between your thoughts and ideas are made.

Write a two- to three-sentence objective summary
Medieval culture has never fully disappeared from popular culture. Judging by the large number of medieval-themed books and movies, it's more popular than ever. Much like today, the characters in these medieval works all had clearly defined jobs or roles to play. Like today's occupations, these roles were all part of a process of career growth. For example, knights only became knights after a long, three-step process. If, at the age of seven, a boy displayed very good manners, smarts, and courage, his parents might decide they wanted him to become a knight. He would spend the next seven years as a page, performing simple duties such as helping knights with their horses and armor. After completing training as a page at around age 14, the boy would become a squire. A squire took on more responsibility and received more hands-on instruction in fighting and battle strategy. He would sometimes ride into battle with a knight and assist him. In some cases, the squire would even be required to fight in the knight's place if the knight was injured. At the age of 21, the squire was eligible to become a knight. First, he had to prove himself worthy by showing great bravery, wisdom, and devotion. worthy, he would be knighted in a ceremony where he vowed to protect his kingdom. Knights perform very different tasks from doctors, teachers, or professional athletes, but in each of these careers, there is a long process with clearly defined steps for moving up. Perhaps this is one of the reasons medieval culture has always fascinated us — it has a sense of order that never went out of style

Halloween: A Special Celebration
Who doesn’t like playing pranks on people or eating candy? Halloween is the one day each year when it’s OK to play tricks on others and get loads of sweet treats. People in the United States and in other countries celebrate Halloween by dressing in costumes, attending parties, and going trick-or-treating.
Halloween is celebrated on October 31. This is the day before the religious holiday All Saints Day, which was once known as All Hallows. October 31 was often called “All Hallows’ Eve.” Over time, this name was shortened to Halloween. All Saints Day marks the memory of saints and other people who have died. At first, the celebration consisted of a prayer service dedicated to the dead. The prayer service was followed by a small offering at the dead person’s tomb or grave. People traditionally spent the day praying and mourning for the souls of those who had died.
However, Halloween is celebrated differently today. Dressed like witches, wizards, and goblins, children go from house to house trick-or-treating for candy. They also participate in Halloween activities such as carving pumpkins, bobbing for apples, and watching scary movies.
Halloween celebrations aren’t limited to kids. Many adults celebrate by dressing in costume to attend Halloween parties. Others walk through “haunted” houses and other scary places.
Halloween is more than a one-day holiday. The celebration can continue throughout the month of October. It’s a holiday that allows people of all ages to dress up, go to haunted places, and play pranks. It’s not serious or sad, unlike the traditional celebrations. For this reason, most people enjoy Halloween celebrations more these days.

She hath not seen the change of fourteen years,
Let two more summers wither in their pride,
Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride.
PARIS
Younger than she are happy mothers made.
I NEED ANSWERS NOW HELP
Answer:
below
Explanation:
One of the more obvious differences is the language, its hard for us to understand since the way we write and talk is so different. Instead of saying "younger than she are happy mothers made", we would simply say people have been married younger and been happy. When reading "She hath not seen the change of fourteen years, let two more summers wither in their pride, ere we may think her ripe to be a bride" we need to remember that people back then didn't leave very long so they often married at a very young age. Without looking into it, getting married is a shocker now but when you die at thirty you need to marry early.

verbal
situational
dramatic
Answer:
I am not sure but I think it is situational

One day I woke up got dressed and went downstairs to greet my mother and father. When I went down I saw a handsome boy sitting in our living room he looked kinda familiar. Then my mother and a woman her age came out and said good morning I replied in a cold voice moring. The strange woman said don't you remember me Yu-Jun.

She then told my mother she did change I then spoke again what do you mean" I change " I said in a very cold meantone. She said I am Seo-Jun when she said that I was very shocked but again didn't show it. She was my childhood friend's mother and I guess the boy in the living room is my childhood bestie but we lost connection when he moved to the U.S 10 years ago we known each other since we were 1 and he went to the U.S when he was 10 and I was 9 that means he's 20 now and I am 19. The reason I am cold now because I had no other friend than him and when he left I cried so hard and that's when I started to become cold and I didn't speak that much. I would only speak In class or when I needed to. I was zoned out till Seo-Jun spoke again saying I need to talk to you and Sun-oh my ex-bestie. I then said fine what do you want to talk about she said let's go in the living room then we went to the living room and they made me sit next to him but I kept my distance. Then she said something very unexpected. She said we you and Sun-oh are getting married. I said what why do I have to marry a mn that I don't even know he's a complete stranger.
