Fans of D. L. Tanning's Glasburry Mystery series will surely be
disappointed by the film adaptation. The movie is loosely based on the
plot of the books, but it does a poor job of conveying the depth of the
characters. While the costumes and scenery are well done, the
dialogue falls flat. Those who are unfamiliar with the books might
enjoy the suspenseful revealing of clues, but they won't realize the rich
detail that's missing in this adaptation of the written version. Please do
yourself a favor and read the books instead of wasting 10 dollars on
the movie.
Which statement best describes the author's purpose?
O A. To explain how a series of books was adapted into a movie
B. To entertain readers with the suspenseful tale of a mystery
C. To inform readers about the differences between a movie and a
book series
D. To persuade readers to avoid a movie in favor of the books

How does the word choice help reveal the mood in the following line?
The fog hung like a deflated black balloon, suffocating every color in the landscape.

‘I see his head,’ exclaimed the choleric old man; ‘damme, I see his head.’

‘So do I’ said Mr. Pickwick; ‘that’s he.’ Mr. Pickwick was not mistaken. The countenance of Mr. Jingle, completely coated with mud thrown up by the wheels, was plainly discernible at the window of his chaise; and the motion of his arm, which was waving violently towards the postillions, denoted that he was encouraging them to increased exertion.

The interest was intense. Fields, trees, and hedges, seemed to rush past them with the velocity of a whirlwind, so rapid was the pace at which they tore along. They were close by the side of the first chaise. Jingle’s voice could be plainly heard, even above the din of the wheels, urging on the boys. Old Mr. Wardle foamed with rage and excitement. He roared out scoundrels and villains by the dozen, clenched his fist and shook it expressively at the object of his indignation; but

Mr. Jingle only answered with a contemptuous smile, and replied to his menaces by a shout of triumph, as his horses, answering the increased application of whip and spur, broke into a faster gallop, and left the pursuers behind.

Mr. Pickwick had just drawn in his head, and Mr. Wardle, exhausted with shouting, had done the same, when a tremendous jolt threw them forward against the front of the vehicle. There was a sudden bump—a loud crash—away rolled a wheel, and over went the chaise.

After a very few seconds of bewilderment and confusion, in which nothing but the plunging of horses, and breaking of glass could be made out, Mr. Pickwick felt himself violently pulled out from among the ruins of the chaise; and as soon as he had gained his feet, extricated his head from the skirts of his greatcoat, which materially impeded the usefulness of his spectacles, the full disaster of the case met his view.

Old Mr. Wardle without a hat, and his clothes torn in several places, stood by his side, and the fragments of the chaise lay scattered at their feet. The post-boys, who had succeeded in cutting the traces, were standing, disfigured with mud and disordered by hard riding, by the horses’ heads. About a hundred yards in advance was the other chaise, which had pulled up on hearing the crash. The postillions, each with a broad grin convulsing his countenance, were viewing the adverse party from their saddles, and Mr. Jingle was contemplating the wreck from the coach window, with evident satisfaction. The day was just breaking, and the whole scene was rendered perfectly visible by the grey light of the morning.

This is my argument essay plz read it and tell me how it is also I am not done with it. Do pageants show a woman's true beauty? Pageants are too exploitative because pageants utilize the standard that judges and society have given to the definition of beauty. Most pageants these days promote low self-esteem, force women into specific demographics, and send the wrong message.
Many Pageants focus on makeup, hair, gowns, swimsuit modeling, and personal interviews. Even though all that makeup they still might not feel beautiful. A study made by Statistic Brain Research saw that 8 of 10, 10-year-old girls that have been in pageants in the U.S. have been on a diet. Forty-two percent of the girls who were on a diet wanted to be thinner. People who entered into pageant claimed that they are only there because they want to feel love and beautiful but, sometimes they feel less of themself and try to change themself hoping it will make them loved and beautiful

This Mystery Rocks! By Cyntha Schlagel

1The Drifting Rocks are a strange phenomenon still unexplained by science. 2Located in Death Valley, California, the rocks sit on hot, flat ground. 3Unlike normal rocks, they have trails etched behind them as if they have traveled across the sand. 4Some trails are only a few feet. 5Some trails are over a half a mile long. 6Each trail is as baffling as the next.

7The variety of rock movement has baffled scientists for decades. 8Some rocks seem to roll as they move forward. 9Some take unexplainable routes. 10Large ones have traveled past small ones that have stayed still. 11Some scientists suggest that the rocks are pushed by wind. 12Others believe they slide on small amounts of ice or mud. 13So far, research has not confirmed any theory.

Which sentence best identifies the main idea of paragraph two?

Scientists are baffled by the different ways the rocks move.
Scientists are confused by the different ways the rocks move, and theories involving wind, ice, and mud have not been confirmed.
Scientists have theories of how the rocks move.
The rocks have stumped scientists because some roll, some take unexplainable routes, and some have traveled past ones that have stayed still, but scientists have theories that the rocks are pushed by wind or that they slide on ice or mud.
