Answer:
Aphrodite, also like many gods and goddesses, can be kind… or merciless. How far would she go to get revenge? The answer is very far. But the odd thing is… she then feels bad and is once again kind. ?!?!?!!?!?
A beautiful nymph, Echo, lived in the hills, and was always very talkative. She was a wonderful favorite of Artemis and was a great help with the hunt. But, she once kept Zeus’ wife, Hera busy talking while the Nymphs sleeping with Zeus fled. Being very angry for having her pray escape; she cast a spell on talkative Echo. It was that she could not talk, unless spoken to, and only the last word of the person speaking to her.
Awhile after the spell was cast upon poor Echo, she fell in love with a boy named Narcissus. Hoping he would speak to her, Echo followed him through the hills. Suddenly aware of someone’s presence, he asked, “Who’s here?” “Here.” Echo replied.
This little… game of theirs went on for awhile until finally Narcissus said “Let us join one another!” She ran up to him, only to have him wrench her off him and yell “I’d rather die than you have me!” Echo ran away crying and lived among the rocks forever more. Eventually she faded into the hills, and became one with them, only her voice being left behind in the hills.
Aphrodite, Goddess of Love watched the entire thing and felt bad for Echo, and enraged at Narcissus, for he never understood what he had done. So, as revenge and punishment, she cast a curse, so that he would fall in love with his own reflection. One day Narcissus came across a river, and saw his reflection. His immediate response was to bend down and touch it, but when he did, the image broke and disappeared. Narcissus called for his reflection, but it didn’t come. Eventually he lost his beauty, and became depressed and died.
Aphrodite now felt bad for Narcissus, and as a way to always remember him, she planted a flower, now called a narcissus, at the edge of the river. You can now see narcissus flowers growing usually by the edge of a body of water.
Top: Narcissus and his reflection.
Bottom: A white narcissus flower.

Shall I compare you to my driving test?
I was as nervous when I met you first.
Although you seemed to be the friendliest,
I felt awkward like I was unrehearsed.
I’d watched my mom and dad drive every day.
It seemed easy to do in the back seat.
I’d seen my siblings always find their way.
I couldn’t wait to roll around the street.
“Easier said than done,” they say; it’s true.
I felt so lost behind the leather wheel.
But practicing taught me a thing or two.
At last, I could control automobile.
It meant a lot to have my own license
but your friendship to me is more immense.

All of the following could be interpreted as symbols except
A The old man's reference to King Philip's War
B) Goodman Brown riding off into the wilderness
C
The pink ribbons in Faith's hair
D
The old man offering his staff to Goodman Brown
Answer:
The old man's reference to King Philip's War
Explanation:
This question is about "Young Goodman Brown", where we can see several symbols that add meaning to the story and extend the topics covered.
We can consider as a symbol, Goodman's trip to the desert (it shows that he will go through a moment of adversity and discomfort), the ribbons in Faith's hair (which signify innocence and faith) and the staff that the old man offers to Goodman (represents sin and man's inclination to sin).

Write a letter to a friend describing your experience about Niagara Falls
Dear Lisa,
I am writing this letter to you because I know that you're looking for a place to go on vacation. I went to Niagara Falls last summer and you should totally go to Niagara Falls for vacation. Its super stunning there and Niagara Falls is the most famous waterfalls in the WORLD. There is a great, up close view of the American Falls from below at the base of the tower and unlike the tower, it’s free. A very short walk brings you right up to the falling water. Niagara Falls has two views one from USA side and the other from Canadian side. Even though they have the water source mostly from USA side but obviously the beautiful view exits is on Canadian side especially at night. So I don't know which side you are most interested in but I would prefer to talk about the Canadian side. It is basically looks like New York city. You see so many people walking on the road and so many things to do and see. So that's all I have to say. Love you and goodbye.

Expository writing prompt in the house of mango street Esperanza describes a likeable character in a vignette. In a well written essay , explain how Cisneros uses literary elements such as diction and figurative language to portray a character's traits.
Answer:The Power of Language
Explanation:Throughout The House on Mango Street, particularly in “No Speak English,” those who are not able to communicate effectively (or at all) are relegated to the bottom levels of society. Mamacita moves to the country to be with her husband, and she becomes a prisoner of her apartment because she does not speak English. She misses home and listens to the Spanish radio station, and she is distraught when her baby begins learning English words. His new language excludes her. Similarly, Esperanza’s father could not even choose what he ate when he first moved to the country, because he did not know the words for any of the foods but ham and eggs. Esperanza’s mother may be a native English speaker, but her letter to the nuns at Esperanza’s school is unconvincing to them in part because it is poorly written.
Esperanza observes the people around her and realizes that if not knowing or not mastering the language creates powerlessness, then having the ability to manipulate language will give her power. She wants to change her name so that she can have power over her own destiny. Her Aunt Lupe tells her to keep writing because it will keep her free, and Esperanza eventually understands what her aunt means. Writing keeps Esperanza spiritually free, because putting her experiences into words gives her power over them. If she can use beautiful language to write about a terrible experience, then the experience seems less awful. Esperanza’s spiritual freedom may eventually give her the power to be literally free as well.
