Answer:

  • In that direction, my windows commanded an unobstructed view of a lofty brick wall, black by age and everlasting shade, which wall required no spyglass to bring out its lurking beauties, but, for the benefit of all nearsighted spectators, was pushed up to within ten feet of my window panes.

You have offered admission to a senior high school to pursue a programme which you do not like. Write to the head teacher of the
Oliga [24]

Answer:

Dear sir or madam,

First of all, I would like to thank you for the admission to this prestigious school. The reason for this letter is that I do not find the program suitable for me.

The program the school offered me is in English and Literature, it is a complete program and suitable for students who want to pursue a career in English, but my interests are in Computer and Science. A program in English would not help me to grow in this field.

Another reason why I do not find the program suitable is that it is centered in American literature and does not include English literature or other languages, which can be beneficial to have different points of view and develop better critical thinking skills.

Due to the mentioned reasons, I would like for my program to be changed to one that fits my interests and challenges me to develop my skills. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Susan Johnson.

Explanation:

When we write to the headteacher or a teacher in the school, we should use formal language.

First, we have to address the person by writing dear and their name. As we do not know the name, we use sir or madam or headmaster. Then, we make an introduction where we talk about why we are writing. In the following paragraphs, we describe in detail why we want the headteacher to change our program. Lastly, we politely ask for the program to be changed and say our goodbyes.

Shylock had a very bad grudge towards Antonio and when he needed a loan of money to make a certain trip, Shylock did not hesitate to propose the loan of a high amount that should be paid in a short time, besides he "raised the stakes" , stating that the loan would have Antonio's meat as interest if the payment was not made as agreed. Shylock said that if Antonio did not pay correctly, he would have to pay off the debt with a pound of meat from his own body.

aalyn [17]

Answer:

Every story has a storyteller, or narrator, and is told from a point of

view. When the narrator is also a story character, the story is told from

the first-person point of view. If the narrator tells the story and never

takes part in the action, the story is told from the third-person point

of view. Once a narrator refers to himself or herself as I, you know

immediately that the story is told in the first person. Here are some

examples of types of narration:
