Read the excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone, by James Cross Giblin. The hieroglyphic passage took the longest to trans

late, partly because the hieroglyphs were the least understood of the three languages, and partly because so much of the text was missing. Champollion succeeded in deciphering a large part of the passage, but the meaning of many hieroglyphs was still unknown when he did his major work in the 1820s. Which line from the excerpt best states the central idea? The hieroglyphic passage presented the biggest challenge of the three inscriptions. Most of Champollion’s major work was accomplished in the 1820s. Champollion’s persistence helped him decipher a large part of the hieroglyphic passage. Hieroglyphs were the least understood because scholars had misinterpreted their meaning.

Thepotemich [5.8K]
I think the author's development of Pratap's character in the story in the given excerpt above would be seen through the writer's use of the character's point of view and attitude.

Read The Ins and Outs of Bellybutton Lint, by Joel Guthrie. Using the steps discussed in this lesson, write a one-paragraph summ
Crazy boy [7]
I already used this for a test so you might want to rephrase it:

<span>Scientists have often wondered what bellybutton lint is made up of. An Austrain chemist named Georg Steinhauser decided to find out, and since he had a belly button, he searched himself! He examined over 500 pieces to see what the lint has occupied. He found that it has cotton from clothes, AND dead skin, sweat, basically the stuff our body resists and extracts. Goerg Steinhauser found all this out within a teeny tiny part of your stomach.

Satire depends on the audience recognizing and agreeing with the satirist's implicit criticism of his or her target. How effecti
Montano1993 [528]

<span>Satire is a genre of literature in which individuals, corporation, government or society are ridiculed in purpose of constructive social criticism, using wit to draw attention to both particular and wider issues in society in order to correct or shape opinions and behavior. But, satire can’t be effective in shaping behavior or opinions if the audience is always in on the joke and never being targeted. The effectiveness of satiric work is mirrored in sole comprehension of the targeted group of individuals that they are wrong, and should correct their opinions and behavior. Many satiric writers believe that satires should be medicine disguised as candy, so it would be easier for targeted group to accept it. If only non-targeted audience comprehend the joke (main idea of satiric work), the satire would not be effective as they agree with author’s criticism and there is no need for them to correct their behavior nor their opinions.</span>
