The following is a rough draft of a student’s play review. It may contain errors. Aurarians Perform (1) The inspiring history of Aurarius is truly “golden.” (2) The town, named after the Latin word for gold, originated from the Gold Rush. (3) These golden origins have inspired Hammond Brigner, the most award-winning playwright of the town, to write an absolutely fabulous play called The Golden Age of Aurarius. (4) This witty play, which brings to life many of the founders of Aurarius, is currently being produced by the Aurarius Players, one of the finest community theater groups in the state. (5) The Golden Age of Aurarius tells the story of Aurarius from its founding as a major river trading post in the West. (6) Because the play covers more than one hundred years of history, Brigner employs a character to pose as Felipe Duarte, one of the town’s founders; this strategy adds continuity to the play. (7) The set design features reproductions of notable buildings around a model western town; audiences will gasp at the realism of the details. (8) Audiences also will reconize many of the actors. (9) The current mayor of Aurarius, Bill McWilliams, shines as mayor Hutchinson. (10) Tina Frere brings life to the founding mother of the town, Magdalene Duarte. (11) Tina’s dynamic speech in the first act will be remembered long after the curtain goes down. (12) Playgoers of all ages will like The Golden Age of Aurarius. (13) Consider attending one of the showings of the play at the Community Playhouse. (14) The Golden Age of Aurarius will be performed Friday and Saturday evenings at 7:00 p.m. and will conclude its showing Sunday afternoon at 2:00 p.m. (15) The tickets are very inexpensive. (16) The one-dollar ticket price has created a “gold rush” of customers eagerly purchasing them. (17) Do not miss out buy your tickets before they sell out. (18) Come to the play and know the history of this remarkable city. Read the sentence from the review. (18) Come to the play and know the history of this remarkable city.

The Tell-Tale Heart
Answer:

Explanation:
please help: Mr. Williams taught global studies, a class designed to give students a view of life beyond the United States. Thinking globally, what group of people might be represented by the birds flying far overhead and what group of people might be represented by “those of us whose wings have been clipped” or “those of us who dwell in unknown spaces, those of us who are beautiful beyond belief but that sometimes exist in environs too deep and murky to be seen from any stable surface.”
Answer:
Group flying far overhead: This might represent the privileged. Some of these privileged people might take something for granted.
Group represented by “those of us whose wings have been clipped”:
This could refer to the people who are suffering and are in poverty. It could also refer to people who fell from glory.
Group represented by “those of us who dwell in unknown spaces, those of us who are beautiful beyond belief but that sometimes exist in environs too deep and murky to be seen from any stable surface.”:
This could mean people part of the minority and underrepresented but have colorful cultures and lifestyles. This could mean minority cultures.
Explanation:
For the first group, I interpreted it as the privileged people in the world. I said this because of their success. I have noticed that some of these kinds of people take a lot of things for granted.
For the second group, this could mean either people that are suffering or people that fell from glory. They could be suffering because, with clipped wings, you cannot fly. On the other hand, they could have lost something. So they are now within the dregs of the world with clipped wings.
For the final group with “those of us who dwell in unknown spaces, those of us who are beautiful beyond belief but that sometimes exist in environs too deep and murky to be seen from any stable surface”, it could mean minorities that are underrepresented but have colorful cultures and lifestyles.
The privileged may be represented by a group soaring far overhead. Some of these wealthy individuals may take things for granted.
What is a group?A group is a number of people working together. They each have individual goals that they work toward as a group. While groups work toward distinct objectives, they share a common interest or identity that binds them together.
The first group is interpreted as the privileged people in the world because of their success. I have noticed that some of these kinds of people take a lot of things for granted.
The second group represented by “those of us whose wings have been clipped” refers to the people who are suffering and are in poverty. It could also refer to people who fell from glory.
The third group represented by “those of us who dwell in unknown spaces, those of us who are beautiful beyond belief but that sometimes exist in environs too deep and murky to be seen from any stable surface.”:
This could mean people part of the minority and underrepresented but have colorful cultures and lifestyles. This could mean minority cultures.
Therefore, the three groups are interpreted differently.

I need an attack of a counterclaim for why kids should have chores
Answer:
Assigning children regular chores helps teach them responsibility. Tasks that personally affect your kids, such as cleaning their room or doing their own laundry, can help them become more self-reliant at the same time. Your kids or grandkids may also take pride in being considered mature enough to take care of themselves.
Answer:
counterclaim for why kids should have chores:
Explanation:
The reason why kids shouldn't do chores is, if they are attending school, they could already have too many after-school activities. Homework becomes a big deal if chores are involved as well; the older you get, the more homework assigned. High school is a prime example of why you should do fewer chores. There is a lot of homework assigned, some teens have jobs after-school on top of that. Younger kids are also most likely not going to do the chores correctly, or at all, because it is too "boring" and they would rather be doing something else.

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!
