What is an appositive phrase and what is its purpose?

Hi , I really need to this so I can take my sister out for ice cream - so if anybody can solve this asap it'll be appreciated ^^

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

An appositive phrase is when you add another name or title to a noun. It looks something like this:

Ginger, my cat, is named Ginger.

The appositive phrase is the "my cat", because you already know that I'm talking about Ginger, but the "my cat" provides more information.

Appositive phrases/words are always right next to the noun they are helping desrcibe, and can use commas like my cat example, or not.

Anyways, they're used to help describe nouns and give more context and information about that noun without sounding like this:

Ginger is named Ginger. Ginger is my cat.

I hope this helps!

Answer:

Explanation:

Did you know that school intervention programs (which includes school uniforms) are reported at reducing bullying by 30-50%? School uniforms are the one thing kids need in school and here is why. kids are coming to school and they don't all look the same. Their facial features, the color of their hair, their height, and even things such as their voice makes them all different from each other. But one thing that all children could have in common is their clothing. Wearing a uniform in school is a badge of pride, creates an identity for the school, and is a crucial part of any school student's life. Uniforms show that you are a part of a group or an organization. Wearing it says that we are all similar and there is no discrimination between us, we are a part of the same group. When students are wearing the same uniform, it promotes a feeling of team spirit. Everyone is easily identifiable as being on the same team, just like the players on a basketball, football, or cheer team. It is believed that this helps the students understand that they’re a part of something bigger than themselves when they become a student. Many local communities have adopted school uniform policies as part of an overall program to improve school safety and discipline. Specifically, school uniform regulations have been adopted in California, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana, Maryland, New York, Tennessee, Utah, and Virginia. Many large public school systems have voluntary or mandatory uniform policies, primarily in elementary and middle schools. It is said that school uniforms may decrease violence and theft, prevent gang members from wearing gang colors and insignia at school, promote student discipline, help parents and students resist peer pressure, help students concentrate on their school work, and enable school officials to recognize school intruders. Some children don't have the money to buy new pairs of pants or shirts, there's absolutely nothing wrong with this yet bullies still pick on the children for it. Other children use things from their older brother or sister and that is also alright considering it saves money and wastes fewer clothes. Some people have the type of family that should spend more funds on needed food or hot water to take a shower, things they need. However, things like clothes can be worn over and over again until they physically can not anymore. This is why school uniforms are a good thing. If students were to all wear the same thing there's no gossiping about another child's clothing. While children are less enthusiastic about the merits of a school uniform with six out of ten (59%) aged between 6 and 15 preferring to wear their own clothes, nearly half (46%) admit a uniform does reduce bullying and seven out of ten (68%) reckon it helps them ‘fit in’ at school. Just over a third (36%) of 15 year olds say they would be worried if a school uniform policy was abolished and many youngsters agree that there are advantages in having an approved mode of dress. Seven in ten (68%) believe it enables them to “fit-in” at school and 46% say it does make bullying less likely. However, there are still complaints among children that uniforms are uncomfortable to wear (47%) and 53% say it doesn’t allow them to express their personalities. Though people's opinions on these subjects differ from each other, it's obvious that we can all agree on a simples fact, uniforms do help children.

Determine the meaning of the figurative language in this line: "he poured out at his feet a rain of arrows from the quiver" (book 22, line 3). What impact does this metaphor have on description of Odysseus as a warrior?

Answers

Answer:

The figurative language means the arrows were quickly shot. It impacts the description of Odysseus because it shows he is a skilled warrior.

Explanation:

Notice how carefully the words were chosen to convey this image: "poured out" and "rain of arrows". Picture that - you must have seen something similar in movies -,  dozens of arrows falling from the sky like rain. For Odysseus to be able to do that, he would have to have great skills. He would have incredible aim as well as speed to cause the impression that arrows are raining down. This is what the author wants to achieve with the use of this figurative language. In a most eloquent and vivid manner, he conveys how skillful Odysseus is.
