A Flag with 50 Stars
The first American flag to have red and white stripes and white stars on a blue field was flown in 1776, shortly after the United States declared its independence from Great Britain. Legend has it that a Philadelphia seamstress named Betsy Ross was hired by George Washington himself to create this flag. There is no evidence that this legend is true, and no one knows for certain who made the first flag, which had 13 stars and 13 stripes. However, we know for a fact that the first flag to have 50 stars—the one we have today—was designed by a high school student.
In 1958, Bob Heft was a 17-year-old student at Lancaster High School in Ohio. At that time, the United States had only 48 states but was on the verge of accepting two more: Alaska and Hawaii. The U.S. flag at the time had six neat rows of eight stars each. What would be the best way to add two more stars while keeping the arrangement neat and orderly? This was the question that Bob’s history teacher posed to the class.
The teacher gave the students an assignment: design a flag with 50 stars. Bob spent hours in the attic of his house, cutting up a 48-star flag and rearranging the stars until they fit just right. He was pleased with his solution to the problem, but his teacher found it less than perfect and gave him a B minus. Outraged, Bob told his teacher that he was going to send his design to his member of Congress, Walter Moeller. His teacher replied that if Bob’s design was accepted as the new flag, he would be more than happy to change his grade to an A.
A year later, Bob had graduated and was working as a draftsman when he received a call at work. He never would have imagined a call from President Eisenhower—but that's who it was! Now that Alaska and Hawaii had been admitted as states, Congressman Moeller had succeeded in having Bob's design chosen as the new U.S. flag. Bob Heft was invited to Washington, D.C., for a ceremony during which his design was officially adopted as the new flag of the United States.

Write a eulogy for John Proctor
Eulogy: A speech or piece of writing that praises someone very highly. A eulogy is typically given at a funeral about someone who has just died and talks about the highlights of their life and who they were.
Its crucible!
We are meeting today to talk about John Proctor. Many would argue that this is a situation that should not happen, since Proctor was not a faithful husband, a faithful religious person and not even a faithful lover. I disagree. John Proctor did indeed have defects, but he knew how to recognize them, understand them, regret having done them and try to repair the damage that his acts caused.
Recognizing his mistakes and trying to revert them is one of the most human, desirable and difficult characteristics for the human being and we cannot forget that Proctor had this characteristic and that was what made Proctor a courageous, humble and giant.
Gentlemen, we cannot forget about Proctor's surrender and his attempt to save those he loved and the city, which he, through his sin, endangered. Proctor's humility and regret ended his own life and caused much suffering. Proctor suffered silently, as he recognized his guilt, showing Proctor's correct view of the world.
______x____
"The crucible" is a play that aims to represent the hysteria promoted by the Salem trials, where many people have been accused of witchcraft and most of them have been sentenced to death by hanging.
In this way, we cannot forget the qualities of a man who gave himself so much and who tried to fix his mistakes in a sincere and admirable way.

Mansfield Park by Jane Austen (excerpt)
Edmund smiled and shook his head. "By Jove! this won't do," cried Tom, throwing himself into a chair with a hearty laugh. "To be sure, my dear mother, your anxiety—I was unlucky there."
"What is the matter?" asked her ladyship, in the heavy tone of one half-roused; "I was not asleep."
"Oh dear, no, ma'am, nobody suspected you! Well, Edmund," he continued, returning to the former subject, posture, and voice, as soon as Lady Bertram began to nod again, "but this I will maintain, that we shall be doing no harm."
"I cannot agree with you; I am convinced that my father would totally disapprove it."
"And I am convinced to the contrary. Nobody is fonder of the exercise of talent in young people, or promotes it more, than my father, and for anything of the acting, spouting, reciting kind, I think he has always a decided taste. I am sure he encouraged it in us as boys. How many a time have we mourned over the dead body of Julius Caesar, and to be'd and not to be'd, in this very room, for his amusement? And I am sure, my name was Norval, every evening of my life through one Christmas holidays."
Hamlet by William Shakespeare (excerpt) To be, or not to be—that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune Or to take arms against a sea of troubles And by opposing end them. To die, to sleep— No more—and by a sleep to say we end The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to.
Select the correct answer.
Read the two excerpts. The first excerpt makes a reference to the second excerpt. In the first excerpt, what does the character Tom mean when he makes a reference to the play Hamlet in the last paragraph?
A. Tom is implying that Shakespeare is his father’s favorite author.
B. Tom is explaining that his father considers Tom to be a poor actor.
C. Tom is saying that his father enjoys having his children act in plays.
D. Tom is showing that he can easily recite any of Shakespeare's plays.
Answer:
***I know someone else already answered this but still I'll take a go for it***
Explanation:
I think it is D because he is reciting a play of William Shakespeare's. He done this with much confidence and that is because of how the words are written on the story excerpt.

Highlight the word or phrase that makes the thesis statement wordy. Money should be funneled by colleges toward academies, not toward sports.
Answer:
should be funneled by
Explanation:
A thesis is the main idea or theory put forward by a writer and which he goes further to prove. A wordy thesis contains words or phrases that are not truly needed in the sentence because the thesis would still retain its meaning without those words.
In the thesis above, the wordy phrase is : "should be funneled by". This sentence would have been clearer if a smaller word is used that would not cloud the true meaning of the sentence.
