Answer: Before leaving the underworld, Persephone had been persuaded to eat four seeds of a pomegranate. In ancient mythology, to eat the fruit of one's captor meant that one would have to return to that captor or country, so Persephone was doomed to return to the underworld for four months of the year. Demeter searched for her ceaselessly, preoccupied with her grief. The seasons halted; living things ceased their growth, then began to die.

Read the excerpt from "Amigo Brothers.”
Antonio danced, a joy to behold. His left hand was like a piston pumping jabs one right after another with seeming ease. Felix bobbed and weaved and never stopped boring in. He knew that at long range he was at a disadvantage. Antonio had too much reach on him. Only by coming in close could Felix hope to achieve the dreamed-of knockout.
Which type of conflict is evident in the excerpt?
The excerpt contains an internal conflict, because it shows Felix thinking about his own dreams.
The excerpt contains an internal conflict, because it shows Felix worrying about winning the bout.
The excerpt contains an external conflict, because it shows Antonio and Felix opposing the rules of boxing.
The excerpt contains an external conflict, because it shows Antonio and Felix opposing each other.
The excerpt contains an **external conflict**, because it shows Antonio and Felix opposing each other.
Antonio and Felix are both boxers, and they are competing against each other in a boxing match. This is an external conflict because it is a conflict between two people. The conflict is physical, as the two boxers are trying to knock each other out. The conflict is also personal, as the two boxers are friends, and they want to win the match to prove that they are the better boxer.
The other options are not correct. Option A, internal conflict, is incorrect because the excerpt does not show Felix thinking about his own dreams. Option B, internal conflict, is incorrect because the excerpt does not show Felix worrying about winning the bout. Option C, external conflict, is incorrect because the excerpt does not show Antonio and Felix opposing the rules of boxing.

Does anyone know how to write a poem? Can I get some tips please?
Answer: you don’t have to rhyme, remember that. Prose is just as valid as rhyming poetry. I always write what I’m trying to convey and THEN use synonyms to make it rhyme if it needs to.
Explanation:
PLEASE HELP WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!! Submit your metaphor study that includes three paragraphs, each of which accurately develops a select metaphor. Choose three from the following list: •She is a moral compass. •He’s a bad egg. •You’re a diamond in the rough. • He is a knight in shining armor. •It’s a jungle out there. •They are in a fishbowl.
Answer:
James, my worst enemy is a bad egg in my opinion simply because he is so cocky but to everyone else hes a knight in shining armor just because he always travels and is “good looking”. Not a lot of people were born out of the town we live in, so not many people have seen anything out of this town and james is always saying how its a “jungle out there” and that he has almost died on some of the “adventures he been on” but it seems like im the only one that sees that he’s obviously over exaggerating that.

My favorite color is yellow, not many people know why. They think it is because it is bright. But no it is not just for that reason. One of my favorite people has this saying ¨Today is a good day to have a good day¨ And I have no idea why I think of yellow when I think of that but I do! And I also love the summer time, like it might just beat volleyball. When I think of summer I think of big smiles, bonfires, long nights, days out on the lake, tan lines like nobody's business, sunflowers, lemonade, pigtails, ice cream etc. When I think of those things it makes me happy and excited. Which reminds me of yellow, again I don't know why. Yellow, yellow, yellow :)

Through the character of Mathilde,
Maupassant criticizes the human
tendency to care too much about
appearances.
Mathilde, who is married to a humble clerk,
is unhappy with her middle-class life. In an
attempt to appear rich and glamorous, she
borrows a diamond necklace from a friend
but ends up misplacing it. The struggle to
pay for the lost necklace traps Mathilde in
a life of poverty.
An Estonian proverb says, “Who does
not thank for little will not thank for
much.” This is especially true in the
case of Madame Mathilde, the
protagonist of French writer Guy de
Maupassant's short story “The Necklace.”

Write a speech of at least 500 (250 will work) words arguing for or against the use of videogames for learning in the classroom. Provide compelling reasons in support of your position using information from at least three credible sources.
All of your sources should be correctly cited, using the MLA format for in-text citations and providing a works-cited list.
Answer: Video games are a ubiquitous part of almost all children’s and adolescents’ lives, with 97% playing for at least one hour per day in the United States. The vast majority of research by psychologists on the effects of “gaming” has been on its negative impact: the potential harm related to violence, addiction, and depression. We recognize the value of that research; however, we argue that a more balanced perspective is needed, one that considers not only the possible negative effects but also the benefits of playing these games. Considering these potential benefits is impor- tant, in part, because the nature of these games has changed dramatically in the last decade, becoming in- creasingly complex, diverse, realistic, and social in nature. A small but significant body of research has begun to emerge, mostly in the last five years, documenting these benefits. In this article, we summarize the research on the positive effects of playing video games, focusing on four main domains: cognitive, motivational, emotional, and so- cial. By integrating insights from developmental, positive, and social psychology, as well as media psychology, we propose some candidate mechanisms by which playing video games may foster real-world psychosocial benefits. Our aim is to provide strong enough evidence and a the- oretical rationale to inspire new programs of research on the largely unexplored mental health benefits of gaming. Finally, we end with a call to intervention researchers and practitioners to test the positive uses of video games, and we suggest several promising directions for doing so.

The game of Chess is not merely an idle amusement. Several very valuable qualities of the mind, useful in the course of human life, are to be acquired or strengthened by it, so as to become habits, ready on all occasions . . . we learn by Chess the habit of not being discouraged by present bad appearances in the state of our affairs, the habit of hoping for a favourable change, and that of persever- ing in the search of resources.
—Benjamin Franklin, “The Morals of Chess”
Today, in the United States, 91% of children between the ages of 2 and 17 play video games (NPD Group, 2011), and a nationally representative study of U.S. teenagers found that up to 99% of boys and 94% of girls play these games (Lenhart et al., 2008). In the United States alone, video games brought in over $25 billion in 2010, more than doubling Hollywood’s 2010 box office sales of $10.8 billion in the United States and Canada (Motion Picture Association of America, 2011). Against this back- drop of nearly ubiquitous play, the popular press regularly
pulses out urgent warnings against the perils of addiction to these games and their inevitable link to violence and ag- gression, especially in children and adolescents. Indeed, the vast majority of psychological research on the effects of “gaming” has been focused on its negative impact: the potential harm related to aggression, addiction, and depres- sion (e.g., Anderson et al., 2010; Ferguson, 2013; Lemola et al., 2011). It is likely that this focus will not diminish in the near future, in part because of the enormous media attention garnered when mass killings (e.g., the Columbine High School slayings in 1999) are associated with youth who play violent video games (Ferguson, 2007).

Answer:
personally, I feel like none of these would be good.
Explanation:
example:
Child- make decisions by yourself, often silenced for having opinions, people will ignore you.Teenager- no one will fully trust you, people's expectations of you will only go higher, and no one will really listen to your opinions and thoughts.Adult- you have to take everything of yourself, everyone's expectations are still forced upon you, you have to get a job, you have to pay bills, and you have to take care of yourself and others in your household .sorry, but I've never actually had a "best time of life".. This is all I could answer...
