The following are excerpts from two different media sources, both reporting on the opening of a new coffee shop in their town. R

ead the excerpts and answer the question that follows.
Example 1: Northdale students have a new hangout spot! A new coffee shop called Roast just opened last week on Main Street. When asked about the cool factor of the coffee shop, most students rated it at a ten out of ten. Junior Cassie Brighton said, “Gotta love the free refills on iced coffees!” There’s no doubt that Roast will fill up fast with all the coffee lovers from our school. This writer thinks that the new place is “cool beans”!

Example 2: The local economy received a significant boost last week with the opening of a new coffee shop called Roast. The owners of Roast have three other successful businesses to their name, each with a yearly projected profit of over 34.7%. Roast made over $2,500 in sales during its grand opening celebration, and local economists are anticipating it to continue with the impressive profits.

Comparing the two excerpts above, what are some differences you notice in tone and formality? Why might these differences exist?

Excerpt 1 uses an informal language and tone, while excerpt 2 uses a rather formal, structured language and tone, which make it more formal than excerpt  1.

This difference could be explained by analyzing the target audience of each text: excerpt 1 is probably aimed at promoting the new coffe shop and making friendly references about the young people who attend there. Excerpt 2, on the other hand, makes emphasis on the business or economic element of the new shop, so it is probably targeted to businessmen or people who are interested in that aspect of the new business.

They're just talking about a new coffee shop that opened and like every other hipster that goes to Starbucks kids start hanging out there, that's good for business. the tone in the first one is saying that it's this new hip place and everyone should go. the tone of the second one however, is more professional stating facts like making 34.7%+ profit. making over $2,500 its first day open. both are saying its a good coffee shop.

In his poem "Easter, 1916," does Yeats favor either side in the conflict? If so, which side does he favor? If not, how does he a
Dominik [7]
Yeats states that he was not closely acquainted with the people in the Easter Rising. He acknowledges that he only exchanged pleasantries with them before the uprising. He also indicates that he has personal reasons for disliking one person. So he is writing about the cause for which they stood, which, by inference, is important.

The comparison of the rebels to "stone" suggests that Yeats may have viewed the rebels' attitude as inflexible or not adapted to the changing times. Yeats also acknowledges the possibility that their deaths may have been "needless" because the British might keep their promises.

However, his reference to the "sacrifice" (of all who had supported Irish independence) and the rebels' "excess of love" suggest that he views their cause in a positive light. Moreover, Yeats's repeated description of the kind of change that the uprising has brought about as "a terrible beauty" suggests that his sympathies lie with the rebels.

To summarize, Yeats places a certain distance between the rebels and himself, but he supports the rebels' cause.

Which of these quotes best explains Hamid's advice to novelists?
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

A. "And the novel needs to keep changing if it is to remain novel."

Explanation:

In the article, Hamid seems to prefer TV viewing over reading lengthy novels, this is evident when he said <em>"I now watch a lot of TV.."</em> He goes further to say <em>"Films could be well written, but they were smaller than novels. TV was big, but its writing was clunky..this represents a crisis for the novel."</em>

Then comes Hamid's advice to novelists,<em> "And the novel needs to keep changing if it is to remain novel."</em>

Read the excerpt from Homecoming.
defon

Answer:

C. third-person point of view

Explanation:

First, let's break down what first-person, second-person, and third-person point of views are.

First-person is when the narrator is addressing themselves. It's like when you write in a journal or diary. It uses words like "I" or "me" to talk about themself and what happened to them. For example: "I saw a cat on the road to today. It waved to me."

Second-person is when the narrator is addressing to you. It uses words like "you" to talk to the reader. Usually this is used in speeches or commercials. For example: "You saw a cat on the road today. It waved to you."

Third-person is when the narrator is not one of the characters but is addressing them. It uses words like "he" or "she" to talk about the characters. For example: "He saw a cat on the road to today. It waved at him."

Now that you know all the different kinds of point-of-views, we can answer the question. You have to look at the pronouns(he,she,they, etc) that the author is using. If you look back to the passage, the author uses "her" and "she."

This is definitely not first-person because first-person uses "I."

This isn't second-person because second-person uses "you."

This is third-person because third person uses "she." The answer is third-person point of view.
