• be at least 16 lines long (four 4-line stanzas, or quatrains)
• have a rhyme scheme. In Auden's poem, lines two and four of each quatrain rhyme
Can someone help me, please?
This is due tomorrow.
Answer:
Find something your passionate about!
Explanation:
If theres someone you really care about Id recommend looking at ballads written for lovers and family members, or you could sing a story like bards do in old stories! Before you start just do some reading and get yourself familiar with the topic, set a scene and use descriptive words to fill some of that space. If you have a wild story about how you got hurt somewhere or how someones crazy idea worked out well that would be a good start! Many ballads in media sing about strong adventurers going on journeys, so just shrink that to apply to your life and don't be afraid to exaggerate a little!
Answer:
I can't write a Ballad for you but, i'll give you all the steps on how to write one.
1. Think about a memorable event or tale
A ballad can also be an exaggeration or fictionalization of a memorable event that happened to you. Maybe you have a funny story from when you were a teenager or perhaps you have a good family tale that you’d like to retell from your perspective.
For example, you may write a ballad about a ghost that haunts a member of your family or you may write about the time you snuck out to meet someone when you were a teen.
2. Look at current events
Many ballads focus on a major event in the news or the media. Surf through the news online or flip through the headlines in your local newspaper. Look for a current event that sounds like a fascinating or strange story and use it as source material for your ballad.
For example, you may find a story about a young woman on trial for killing her father in self-defense. Or perhaps you find a news story on a refugee in refugee camp trying to make a better life for themselves.
3. Read examples of a ballad
You can read ballads that are in poem form and in song form. Check online and at your local library for printed ballads. Search online or at your local music store for recordings of ballads in song form.
You may look at:
“The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
"La Belle Dame Sans Merci" by John Keats
"Ballad in A" by Cathy Park Hong
"Maude Claire" by Christina Rossetti
"Ballad of the Moon Moon" by Federico Garcia Lorca
“The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll” by Bob Dylan

WILL CHOOSE BRAINLIEST! Write a retelling of the story from Penelope's point of view.
Answer: The Penelopiad, written by Margaret Atwood in 2005, is one of the most recent retellings of The Odyssey. There have been a lot throughout the centuries: Ulysses, Cold Mountain, and even the movie Oh brother where art thou?, to name a few. Retelling a story is always a challenge, because you can no longer rely on your plot to set you apart from other books in the competitive writing industry. An author must then find some other way to make their novel truly special. In The Penelopiad, Margaret Atwood attempts to do so through spinning the tale from the point of view of the faithful wife, Penelope. To take over the role of “the chorus”, Ms. Atwood employs the twelve maids, whom Odysseus kills upon his return to Ithaca. Throughout the novel, the maids write poetry to showcase their point of view, while Penelope acts as the narrator. It is definitely an interesting idea, but I don’t think Margaret Atwood succeeds as well as she would have liked.
The novel is funny, witty, and amusing. It took me less than a day to finish and when I did, I wanted more. Something is missing in the novel, however. Penelope is depicted like a real person: she is jealous of her beautiful cousin Helen, she is angry that her son is growing up and rebelling, etc. but I don’t think any reader could truly relate to her. In fact, I think Ms. Atwood struggled with relating to her protagonist as well.
One thing that I did enjoy in the story was the sense of humor. It was engaging, and I laughed out loud more than once. I think Margaret Atwood succeeded in portraying the maids through their crude jokes, bad habits, and sneaky methods of retrieving information. The maids served as the comedic relief, while Penelope recounted the plot. It was interesting how Ms. Atwood weaved the maids into the story through poems and songs, although at times it was a little awkward. As the author herself said, it was her intention to answer the question of “what lead to the hanging of Penelope’s maids?”. Ms. Atwood succeeds in answering that question, as well as several others that The Odyssey forgot to touch on.
To summarize, The Penelopiad is a very enjoyable book that provides interesting insights, but would’ve benefited from a certain depth, like that in The Housekeeper and the Professor.

When you think of the ocean, what do you picture? Do you imagine sparkling blue waters and shimmering schools of fish? Or do you think of immense patches of plastic waste drifting across an area twice the size of the continental United States? Both of these pictures are the truth. Marine pollution poses a serious threat to marine life and habitats, and even to humans. However, people are tackling the problem with efforts at cleanup and, more importantly, prevention.
Causes and Types of Marine Pollution
Marine pollution comes from many sources, such as oil and chemicals that are spilled in accidents at sea. In addition, rain washes fertilizers from fields into rivers and streams that feed into the ocean, and sewage drains into waterways. Finally, wind and natural disasters scatter trash into the ocean.
This last type of litter is often referred to as marine debris, and it is one of the greatest threats to marine ecosystems. Once marine debris reaches the ocean, it is picked up and carried along by currents. Currents are the movement of the water in a particular direction, driven by tides or wind.
The most common type of marine debris is plastic. This is because humans make and use a lot of it, and because plastic can float. Additionally, many kinds of plastic do not biodegrade, or naturally break down, in water. Instead, they fall apart into microplastics, pieces that are too small to see easily. They are then carried along with the currents, like all of the other marine debris.
Garbage Patches
In some parts of the ocean, currents form large, rotating systems called gyres. Debris becomes trapped and begins to accumulate. This is especially true in the Pacific Ocean, where the currents have created what some people call the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. In this area, scientists have found as many as 1.9 million pieces of debris in a square mile.
Some experts think the term “garbage patch” is inaccurate because it implies that the trash forms an island. Instead, these “patches” are regions with high levels of very small pieces of debris. They are constantly moving and cannot be seen by satellites. Therefore, it is hard to tell exactly how large these regions are.
Wind and wave patterns cause tiny plastic debris to concentrate in huge areas sometimes called “garbage patches."
Effects of Marine Pollution
Larger pieces of marine debris also have significant negative effects on the ocean environment. Fish, birds, and turtles become tangled in plastic bags. Also, fishing boats leave behind traps, nets, and lines that can catch fish and other animals.
Cleaning Up the Seas
Finding a solution to the marine debris problem has been a challenge. The debris is hard to see and hard to track. Scooping it off the ocean surface is difficult for many reasons. First of all, the process is time-consuming because the polluted areas are so large. Also, when trash is skimmed off the surface, microscopic sea creatures become trapped with the debris. Furthermore, larger items that sink to the bottom are out of reach.
However, prevention can help. Dianne Sherman of the International Coastal Cleanup estimates that “50 to 80 percent of what ends up in the ocean starts out on land.” As a result, many organizations focus on cleaning up the debris before it reaches the water. This includes removing trash from beaches and cleaning up after natural disasters such as hurricanes.
Marine pollution has already affected countless species. This much is clear: doing nothing is not an option. Despite the size of the problem, we can all help. We must stop littering. We must support the organizations that study marine pollution. And finally, we must work to decrease the amount of waste we produce. These efforts may not undo the damage that has been done, but they could bring a future of cleaner waters.
What is the thesis, or central idea, of this article? How does it influence the author’s choice of organizational strategy?
A
“Marine pollution comes from many sources”; this thesis calls for comparing and contrasting the different forms of pollution.
B
“Finding a solution to the problem of pollution is a challenge”; this thesis calls for comparing and contrasting different cleanup methods to figure out the best one.
C
“Marine pollution poses a serious threat to marine life and habitats and even to humans”; this thesis calls for a discussion of a cause, marine pollution, and its effects, threats to animals and humans.
D
“People are tackling the problem with efforts at cleanup and, more importantly, prevention”; this thesis calls for a discussion of a cause, cleanup efforts, and the effects, preventing further pollution.

How is Kinika’s advice to “leave your ego on the bench” related to the Dragon Girls’ game against the McMeen team?
The Dragon Girls see that their opponents, the McMeen team, are working together as a team and leaving their egos on the bench.
The Dragon Girls work together by playing defense and passing to each other, instead of just focusing on their own shots in the game.
The Dragon Girls are all afraid to shoot baskets because they don’t want to make the game about themselves or their egos.
The Dragon Girls and the McMeen team both take Kinika’s advice and are able to all work together really well to have a great, friendly game.
Answer:
Explanation:Kinika's advice to "leave your ego on the bench" is related to the Dragon Girls' game against the McMeen team in the following way:
B.) The Dragon Girls work together by playing defense and passing to each other, instead of just focusing on their own shots in the game.
In the story, Kinika advises the Dragon Girls to prioritize teamwork and selflessness over individual glory. She encourages them to set aside their egos and work together as a cohesive unit. During the game against the McMeen team, the Dragon Girls demonstrate this by playing defense and passing the ball to each other instead of solely focusing on taking shots themselves.
By leaving their egos on the bench, the Dragon Girls embrace Kinika's advice and understand that success comes from working together as a team. They realize that by playing strong defense and making effective passes, they can create scoring opportunities for the entire team, rather than trying to make the game solely about themselves or their egos.
This approach allows the Dragon Girls to effectively compete against the McMeen team, who are also portrayed as working together as a team. By following Kinika's advice, the Dragon Girls are able to showcase their unity, cooperation, and selflessness on the court, leading to a strong and cohesive performance.

The romances in this book are also great, as they played a role, yet did not overpower the story. I believe that others should read this book, as it is overall an amazing book.

Answer:
7. Farmers were facing many problems in the late 1800s. These problems included overproduction, low crop prices, high interest rates, high transportation costs, and growing debt.
8. When her mother left she and Charles took care of the farm. This shows that the relationship with Charles and Lyddie are very close. Her relationship with her mother on the hand is the opposite. Without a father around, and with their mother stricken by mental illness, the children have to take on adult responsibilities around the farm. Lyddie and Charlies' actions are influenced by their absent father in a number of ways. First and foremost, they have to grow up quickly and fend for themselves. Lyddie and Charlie are sent off to go to work.
9. She probably has but didn't realize it. She has been living on a secluded farm up north her whole life, and slavery wasn't as wide-spread in the north. Lyddie has never traveled anywhere before.

A river begins as a trickle of melting snow on a mountaintop, or as a spring of underground water, bubbling out from a crack in a mountain. The water finds its way down the mountainside, running over rocks. Farther down the mountain, it is joined by another little trickle formed by rainwater. Together, these tiny trickles make a wider, faster-moving stream. More and more trickles join the stream as they form a wide and fast-flowing river, rushing down the sloping mountainsides.
Once the river reaches the foot of the mountain, the land begins to slope and then flattens for several miles. This flattened land is called a floodplain as this is where a river bursts from its banks and floods the surrounding land in times of heavy and stormy rains. By now, the river is wider and its course is straighter. It widens even more as it approaches the sea, before finally emptying into the sea.
Some rivers flow for centuries, while some dry out due to harsh and dry summers and a lack of adequate rainfall. For example, Dry Falls, located in Central Washington, no longer carries water. The Colorado River flowing from the United States to Mexico, and the Indus River that runs from India to Pakistan, are both starting to dry out. On the other hand, rivers such as the Nile in Africa, the Amazon in South America, and the Yangtze in China have plenty of water and flow in abundance.
Which of the following relationships is most similar to the relationship below?
Melting snow : River
A.
Evaporating water : Rainfall
B.
Soil erosion : Mountains
C.
Mountains : Tall trees
D.
Floods : Rainwater
