Answer:
Dear Mr Welsh,
We were only out here a matter of a few hours before we went into the trenches; we were there for eight days and then came on to what is called a Rest Camp. I suppose it is called that to distinguish it from the trenches because the men are at work all day road and trench making and it comes under both rifle and artillery fire. We got here at 7 o’clock yesterday morning and were shelled at 9 o’clock.
The country is really quite pretty and just like the hills and valleys of South Wales, but there are no brooks or rivers. It rains hard for a month each year usually about this time and then there is no more until the next rainy season. But although it is so gloriously sunny something is wrong with the place and it really isn’t as healthy as it looks. I think the flies have something to do with it as well as the heat and the still unburied dead bodies about. There are millions and millions of flies here and they are all over everything. Put a cup of tea down without a cover and it is immediately covered with dead ones, they are all round your mouth and directly you open it to speak or to eat in they pop. It is a game. We have all got nets of course, we should have been worried, no medicine by now if we hadn’t.
We live in dugouts built up the reverse sides of the hills. They are just holes really, but all the same they can be made very comfortable with a bit of digging and a few waterproof sheets. They are not shell proof by any means and the one I slept in during my first night here was knocked in completely by a shell pitching right into it. Fortunately I was not at home at the time. We have another now and I must try and get a photo of it and let you see what it is like. I must send you one of our
Mess dugout too.
Everything here is named after the Regiment responsible for the making or taking. For instance the road we made from our trenches to this camp is called “New Bedford Rd” and the ridge we took and now occupy is called on the army maps, Bedford Ridge. I have just been filling in and colouring my map and find it is one of the most, if not the most, advanced line of the lot. Standing on that ridge it is possible to see what a lot of country we have taken and now hold, but there is nothing to get wildly excited about. Each position is strengthened as much as possible before another attempt is made to push on and the whole thing is just steady progress. Something might happen suddenly, I only hope it does.
We have had some very big ships out here and they have been bombarding the forts heavily now for some few days, and there are cruisers, monitors etc. standing in the bay helping the land batteries to shell the trenches. You see a flash and then wait a long time before hearing the boom and the shriek of the shell passing over our heads, almost together, then look round quickly and see the burst of the shell in or over the trenches sometimes before hearing the explosion. The first we know of shells aimed at us is the bang of the explosion, and it is too late to get out of the way. Three officers were laid flat on their backs the other day without any hurt except to their dignity and farther on six men were buried without one being injured. It isn’t always like that though.
There is quite good bathing here when we can find time to go. As the beach is in full view of the enemy, and comes under their shell fire, it would not appeal to the nervous. We never keep closer together than ten yards when we are undressing and swimming in hopes that the Turk will not consider one man worth the price of a shell. We have had some casualties through the men keeping too close together, but after washing out of a teacup for a week or more it is worth a bit of risk to get rid of some of the trench dust and smell and feel and look clean again. And really is the best bathing I’ve ever had. The water is quite warm and clear.
All the hospital work is done on board a ship that stands in the bay. If the cases are serious or lengthy they are transferred to one of the hospital ships that calls daily and then go to either one of the bases or back to England. We land troops night or day in spite of the fact that they come under fire so it is possible for a man to be on his way back wounded, by the same ship that bought him from the base, without ever having landed.
We had a grand voyage out. All the officers had either staterooms or 1st Class cabins and the food mostly was just the same as we should have had on an ordinary cruise to India or Australia, wherever it is that the Cruise Line calls. The usual cabin stewards and waiters were in attendance and it was difficult to remember that we were not exactly on a pleasure trip. We did enjoy those two weeks…
Kind regards,
Yours sincerely,
H.W. Cronin, Lieutenant.

Read this excerpt from Paragraph two of Poe's "The Black Cat" and answer the question.
There is something in the unselfish and self-sacrificing love of a brute, which goes directly to the heart of him who has had frequent occasion to test the paltry friendship and gossamer fidelity of mere Man.
Which phrases from this excerpt support the narrator's distrust of human beings? Select all that apply.
A "unselfish and self-sacrificing"
B "love of a brute"
C "directly to the heart"
D "frequent occasion"
E "paltry friendship"
F "gossamer fidelity"
Answer:
(B,E,F)
Explanation:
As we can see the question is basically asking for evidence that supports why the author has a distrust of human beings (Basically saying that the author cant trust humans, and can't rely on them for almost anything.)
So with that being said, we need to find text evidence that shows a negative perspective coming from the author. So we can go and cross off answer options (A: "unselfish and self-sacrificing") (D: "frequent occasion") and (C: "directly to the heart") bc two of those are positive opinions on humans, and one isn't close to being negative nor positive opinions towards humans.
Now let's take a look at "B"
"Love of a Brute"
Basically saying that somebody is showing love-(affection, caring for) a wild animal-(a violent human).
We can use context clues to find out if this is negative or positive
Before "Love of a Brute," it says "There is something in the unselfish and self-sacrificing" using this we can see that it means "For a person to love a wild animal type of person-( a violent human) is unselfish on their part, because of how abysmal-(horrible) that brute-(violent human) is.
Now let's look at E: "paltry friendship"
This is basically saying that a human shows inconsequential-(Little importance towards something) feelings towards friendship with someone else.
Lastly, we can look at F: "gossamer fidelity"
This means like a thin-(In this sentence it would mean "having little") loyalty-(being trust worthy, and faithful) towards someone.
With all this being said all answers that would apply to answering the
question would be "B "love of a brute", E "paltry friendship", and F "gossamer fidelity".

What does this quote mean to you?
Answer:
It means that you would handle everything very harshly, almost like how you need to be aggressive when hammering a nail. The hammer is probably a metaphor for the temperament you use to handle things, if that makes sense.

Can someone help write a thesis statement for "is it better to be original or fit in."
Answer:
Honestly, this could go both ways. Some people are very enthusiastic, expressive, and passionate while other people can be loners, shy, and keep to themself. But, in my opnion I believe iy is best to be original. If everyone was always trying to fit in there wouldnt be anything to fit in with other than a school uniform. While being original and having your own style, personality, and your own voice is what makes you, well you. Just be yourself because everyone else is already taken.

Lao Zi
Philosophy believed in: As Taoism took root, Laozi was worshipped as a god. Belief in the revelation of the Tao from the divine Laozi resulted in the formation of the Way of the Celestial Masters, the first organized religious Taoist sect. In later mature Taoist tradition, Laozi came to be seen as a personification of the Tao.
Quote: To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders.
Shang Yang
Philosophy believed in: Shang Yang believed that the integrity of a state could be maintained only with power and that power consisted of a large army and full granaries. Entering into the service of Duke Xiao, head of the state of Qin, Shang Yang replaced the feudal division of the country with a system of centrally appointed governors.
Quote: When the people are weak, the state is strong; hence the state that possesses the Way devotes itself to weakening the people.
Buddha
Philosophy believed in: Buddhists believe that human life is a cycle of suffering and rebirth, but that if one achieves a state of enlightenment nirvana, it is possible to escape this cycle forever.
