Read the three stanzas from “America the Beautiful” by Katherine Lee Bates.
O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
O beautiful for pilgrim feet,
Whose stern, impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!
O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved,
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine,
Till all success be nobleness,
And every gain divine!

what is the black hole
Answer:
Black hole is a region of spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing — no particles or even electromagnetic radiation such as light — can escape from it. The theory of general relativity predicts that a sufficiently compact mass can deform spacetime to form a black hole.
Answer: A black hole is a place in space where gravity pulls so much that even light can not get out. The gravity is so strong because matter has been squeezed into a tiny space. This can happen when a star is dying. Because no light can get out, people can't see black holes.
Pieces of the Past Erin Sullivan
1 Nate slammed the garage door shut with a loud bang—hopefully loud enough for Granddad to hear from inside the house. Nate was angry, angry at his parents for abandoning him at this house during his vacation, angry for having to spend a beautiful sunny day clearing out a dark and damp garage. 2 The dusty garage once housed vehicles, but over time it became cramped with Granddad’s possessions. Tightly packed boxes, bags, and trunks were stacked to the ceiling.
Time for that stuff to go," Granddad announced that morning. "You go through those boxes and keep what you like, and then we'll have a garage sale with the rest and divide the profits."
Nate was annoyed because he was stuck at Granddad's house, and he longed to hang out at the beautiful park and play baseball with the other kids his age. He surveyed the boxes gloomily, considering where to begin. He pried open a filthy plastic container, and inside he found measuring spoons, duct tape, and crumpled file folders. Rubbish, Nate thought to himself, as he tossed it into a garbage bag.
The next box contained Granddad's old suits—neatly folded and packed away after Granddad retired. "Who's going to want these old clothes?" Nate wondered. They were the kind of old suits you see at a garage sale for fifty cents apiece. As he rifled through Granddad's old wardrobe, a childhood memory flashed back to him. After work each day, Granddad used to pick up him from school and always kept a surprise for Nate in his suit pockets—a baseball card or a stick of gum.
Nate scanned the garage, considering what to tackle next. His eyes fell on a wooden crate tucked way in the back with the name “BENNY” marked in orange paint. The crate was almost hidden behind other boxes.
Nate carefully opened the crate, removing a buttery soft catcher's glove and a collection of cards held together by a rubber band. He flipped through the pack, recognizing some legendary players. Then, Nate pulled out a black and white photograph of a boys' team and scoured the faded image for a familiar face. There was Benny—Granddad—in the middle row, suited up and staring proudly at the camera. He looked about fourteen, just about Nate's age. Nate thought about what that boy must have been like as he imagined Benny hovering by second base, eyes glued on the batter, preparing to spring into action.

Nate inspected the garage with fresh eyes. Each container held a story, he realized—a series of clues about Granddad's life. He speculated about each one. Maybe this assignment wouldn't be so horrible, after all.
The Grandparents" from Run with the Horsemen by: Ferrol Sams
1 The grandparents had a great deal of influence in the family circle, especially on the children during their formative years. No real Southerner has ever been able to consider very seriously the highly touted ancestor worship of the Chinese. It is watery by comparison. Teethed on "what we had before the War," weaned on the accomplishments of successful kin, nurtured on the pronouncement of dominant family traits, and lullabied on the recitation of genealogical alliances of several generations, no Southerner could ever mature without a profound sense of family. This spilled over into awareness about other families in the county, and one learned what to expect from different tribes in both looks and actions.
his knowledge came largely from the grandparents and usually in the long, conversational family evenings before television, radio, or accessible automobiles. In the winters the gathering was around the crackling fire in the grandmother's room, in the summers on the wide veranda outside her bedroom door. The grandfather was the raconteur, the grandmother the critic, prompter and censor. Before they were five, the children knew that "Blood will tell," and "Pretty is as pretty does," which they learned from the grandmother. From the grandfather the boy learned "You can't make poundcake out of manure," a comforting maxim indeed when one is forced to assume responsibility for the actions of others, which happens frequently to a farmer.

Explanation:
1. Gravity does not move the rock by it self, something else has to hit/crack the rock in order for gravity to take place. 2. When water flows into the cracks of rocks and freezes, the ice expands farther and cracks more of the rock. 3. Every time a grain of sand hits the gravestone, the sand particle takes a little of the gravestone with it, eventually changing the gravestone entirely. 4. When water flows down the hill, the water particles take some dirt with it. The tarp is there to not let the raindrops touch the dirt. 5. When the sand hits the wall over a long period of time, it erodes the softer material in the rock, leaving the harden rock exposed.

What is the main theme in this story from Aesop’s Fables?
The Fox and the Crow
A Fox saw a Crow fly off with a piece of cheese in its beak and settle on a branch of a tree.
"That's for me, as I am a Fox," said Master Reynard, and he walked up to the foot of the tree.
"Good-day, Mistress Crow," he cried. "How well you are looking to-day: how glossy your feathers; how bright your eye. I feel sure your voice must surpass that of other birds, just as your figure does; let me hear but one song from you that I may greet you as the Queen of Birds."
The Crow lifted up her head and began to caw her best, but the moment she opened her mouth the piece of cheese fell to the ground, only to be snapped up by Master Fox.
"That will do," said he. "That was all I wanted."

the diffrences between ''the arrow and the song poem'' and ''the poison tree poem''
The Arrow and the Song
by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
I shot an arrow into the air.
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.
I breathed a song into the air.
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For who has sight so keen and strong,
That it can follow the flight of song.
Long, long afterward, in an oak,
I found the arrow still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.
A Poison Tree
by William Blake
I was angry with my friend;
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.
And I watered it in fears,
Night and morning with my tears:
And I sunned it with smiles,
And with soft deceitful wiles.
And it grew both day and night.
Till it bore an apple bright.
And my foe beheld it shine,
And he knew that it was mine.
And into my garden stole,
When the night had veiled the pole;
In the morning, glad, I see;
My foe outstretched beneath the tree.

Fiction authors often use history to inspire their stories, but, for the sake of entertainment, they don’t always adhere to the facts. Which of the sentences below go beyond the facts in order to add interest to the story? Select all that apply.
(1) But would the plane’s maiden voyage also be its last?
(2) The biplane ran along a downhill track to gain enough speed to launch.
(3) Station men carried the aircraft back to the start of the track, where the brothers made minor repairs.
(4) This flight was no less harrowing for Emelia than the first one, but she put her faith in her uncles’ ingenuity.
(5) As Uncle Wilbur rushed to the accident site, she feared the worst, not only for her uncle but for the machine!
(6) The plane zoomed down the tracks, sped off the end, and soared up into the air like a glorious mechanical bird.
(7) At the turn of the 20th century, brothers Orville and Wilbur Wright tried something extraordinary in the budding field of aviation.
Answer:
6. The plane zoomed down the tracks, sped off the end, and soared up into the air like a glorious mechanical bird.
Explanation:
This sentence is personification, or maybe a simile. Obviously, the plane didn't actually soar into the air like a "glorious mechanical bird". This is added for a comedic/entertaining effect.
Simply, it could've been put, without the entertainment factor, as "The plane zoomed down the tracks, sped off the end, and soared up into the air." That is descriptive enough, however with the added simile, it creates a funny and comedic tone.
Also, I like your pfp.
Answer:
The plane zoomed down the tracks, sped off the end, and soared up into the air like a glorious mechanical bird.
