Hughes uses many poetic devices in his poem "Theme for English B." These include alliteration, assonance, consonance, and enjambment. Alliteration is the repetition of consonant sounds in quick succession to create rhythm. An example of this device can be seen in the quote: "I feel and see and hear, Harlem, I hear you.". The repetition of the "h" sounds creates a rhythm and also lets the reader know that this concept is important. This reveals the theme that Hughes is trying to push through: that the assignment is anything but straightforward for Hughes because he doesn't have a story, or at least not one that will impress the professor. Assonance and consonance are also important in Hughes' poetry. These are created by the repetitions of vowel sounds (assonance) and consonant sounds (consonance). These can be used to set the mood in the poem. An example of each in "Theme for English B" is the quotes "I like a pipe for a Christmas present," and "I am twenty-two, colored, born in Winston-Salem.". In the first quote, the sound of the "i" is repeated. The second quote uses a repeated consonant "r" to make the speaker's voice accentuated. The last technique used by Hughes in his poetry is enjambment. The enjambment is the continuation of a sentence without pauses in punctuation. An example of this is the quote: "You are white/ yet a part of me I guess you learn from me / although you're older and white / and somewhat more free." Hughes uses it to make it seem like the world is weighing on him without giving in. In conclusion, Hughes uses many literary devices, including alliteration, assonance, consonance, and enjambment to show the reader the racism of his hometown, Harlem. He feels that the professor has given him the task of writing about himself before the professor wants him to prove capable and show who he is, all because he is black. Hughes uses poetry as a platform to discuss racism and prejudice and the need to overcome them.
Read the passage from "Yes, Sitting Too Long Can Kill You, Even if You Exercise."
"Sit less, move more" is what the American Heart Association encourages all of us to
do. But this simplistic guideline doesn't quite cut it, said Keith Diaz, lead author of

'This would be like telling someone to just 'exercise' without telling them how," Diaz

What are the similarities between the invention of Boyan Slat and the invention of Duro-Alna Adebola, Akindele Abiola,
Faleke Oluwatoyin, and Bello Eniola? Explain how they could be represented in an Infographic.
Answer: Both inventions were done by teenagers at their times. Both inventions claimed to help the environment: Boyan Slat's machine would clean up trash floating in ocean. Duro-Aina Adebola, Akindele Abiola, Faleke Oluwatoyin, and Bello Eniola proposed power generation from urine that would not create carbon monoxide. Boyan Slat was a teenage boy in Norway when he proposed his ocean-trash-cleaning machine. Duro-Aina Adebola, Akindele Abiola, Faleke Oluwatoyin and Bello Eniola were four teenage girls in Nigeria proposing power generation using urine.
Both were out-of-box inventions that were different from conventional thinking.
The two proposals, if real, will improve the environment. Slat's by cleaning up trash from oceans and the girls' by providing clean fuel; replacing fossil.

Fans hurled bottles and invectives at Jackie Robinson. Some Dodger teammates openly protested against having to play with an African American, while players on opposing teams deliberately pitched balls at Robinson's head and spiked him with their shoes in deliberately rough slides into bases. Not everyone in baseball was unsupportive of Robinson. When players on the St. Louis Cardinals team threatened to strike if Robinson took the field, commissioner Ford Frick quashed the strike, countering that any player who did so would be suspended from baseball. Dodger captain Pee Wee Reese left his position on the field and put an arm around Robinson in a show of solidarity when fan heckling became intolerable, and the two men became lifelong friends. However, with the ugly remarks, death threats, and Jim Crow laws that forbade a black player to stay in hotels or eat in restaurants with the rest of his team, Robinson's groundbreaking experience in the major leagues was bleak.

Answer:
The speaker observes the flowering trees on the sidewalks dropping their blossoms.

write a letter to your mother asking her about her health and stating that you miss her a lot
Answer:
Dear mother,
I hope this letter will find you in the best of health and fitness. It is after a long time I am writing you as I was busy with my examination. Now the examination is over and I am free to talk a lot to you.
First, let me know about your health. In fact, I was very worried to learn about the deteriorating condition of health ever since I learnt this. You have been very careless towards your health. You have always been very concerned for the needs and well-being of each and every member of the family but at the cost of your health and comfort. It is the result of your careless attitude that your health is deteriorating. It is a matter of great concern for all of us. If you will not be in good health and fitness, who will take care of us? It is you who are always there to care for us either it are our education, health or any other matter. So, do not ignore yourself. Take care of yourself.
How is Aashu? How is her study? She is not very sincere to her studies. She wastes her time in video games and other meaningless activities. She needs your particular attention. I am eagerly waiting for the summer break so that I can see you. It seems that I have been away for long from home.
With best regards.

For generations, Cotulla, Texas, was a town with the aura of an old Western movie and few opportunities.
Cowboys, ranchers, and shop owners depended on the hunting season to survive. Young people looking to follow
other career paths left to escape Cotulla's double-digit unemployment and poverty rates. Recently, however,
Cotulla has become a thriving community. Many people are moving into the town seeking oil. New hotels,
apartment complexes, industrial parks, and jobs are raising hopes for the town's future. Some Cotulla residents,
however, are questioning whether this major oil development is worth the environmental consequences that
experts say will follow.
