Please give me examples of topic sentences with controlling ideas for a topic about my favorite movie

Answers

Answer 1
Whatever you want to talk about in your paragraph, your topic sentence will be a sort of summary or preview that will be supported by all the other sentences in your paragraph, so you have to decide what the paragraph is going to be about before you can write your topic sentences. 

Let's look at "Movies." What do you want to say about movies? 
Going to the movies is a fun way to spend a Saturday afternoon? Movie special effects today are far superior to those of films just 10 years ago? Movies are a hugh waste of money? A "controlling" idea is an idea that makes a reader ask a question. Any time a topic sentence has a good "controlling" idea, the reader will have his or her curiosity raised.

 A topic sentence is the first sentence of a paragraph, that tells what the paragraph is going to be about.

On a 4 1/2 hour trip , Leslie drove 2/3 of time. For how many hours did Leslie drive

Answers

Leslie drove 3 5/6 hours 

Leslie drove for 3 hours during her 4 1/2 hour trip, which is determined by taking 2/3 of the total trip time.

The student has asked how many hours Leslie drove if she drove for 2/3 of a 4 1/2 hour trip. To solve this, we can convert the 4 1/2 hours to a decimal and then calculate 2/3 of that time.

Step 1: Convert 4 1/2 hours to a decimal. 4 1/2 hours is the same as 4.5 hours.

Step 2: Calculate 2/3 of 4.5 hours. To do this, multiply 4.5 by 2/3:

4.5 hours * 2/3 = 3 hours.

So, Leslie drove for 3 hours on her 4 1/2 hour trip.

Kevin didn’t hear the last half of Angela’s speech because he was thinking about how he disagreed with something she said. He then decided the majority of the information she presented didn’t apply to him. This is an example of a failure to _________________.
a. listen with empathy
b. listen for total meaning
c. listen ethically
d. listen with an open mind

Answers

The answer is A: Failure to listen with empathy

This is an example of a failure to a. listen with empathy

Empathetic listening is about really understanding the person who’s talking to you. That means it goes beyond active listening and deep into the zone of non-judging and empathy. Non-judgment while you listen to others means you can truly hear them with an open mind. Empathy refers to emotionally connecting with another person through identification, compassion, understanding, feeling, and insight.

What “nature” of Macbeth does Lady Macbeth fear? Based on Macbeth’s words and actions so far, do you believe Lady Macbeth has reason to be concerned? Explain.

Answers

Lady Macbeth fears that her husband is to kind and to caring to murder King Duncan.

Final answer:

Lady Macbeth fears Macbeth's kindly nature and conscience, which might prevent him from committing regicide to become king. Her concerns are justified as Macbeth struggles with his actions, displaying guilt and internal conflict. Thus, the nature she fears is his inherent goodness and moral hesitation.

Explanation:

In Shakespeare's Macbeth, Lady Macbeth fears the 'nature' of Macbeth’s kindness and his hesitation to seize the crown through regicide. Despite his ambition and the prophesies that hail him as future king, Macbeth exhibits a conscience, evident in his soliloquies, revealing deep internal conflict and moral dilemma over the murder of King Duncan. Lady Macbeth is aware of her husband's nature and is concerned it will thwart their plans for power.

She chastises Macbeth's indecision, comparing him to "the poor cat i' the adage" that wanted the fish but didn't want to wet its paws. Lady Macbeth contends that Macbeth desires greatness but might be too scrupulous and 'coward' to achieve it. When Macbeth expresses his horror at the murder he has committed, he demonstrates that his wife's fears are well-founded, as he is indeed racked with guilt and torment, as shown when he says, "His silver skin laced with his golden blood".

Lady Macbeth's fears are justified, as Macbeth is a complex character whose virtuous nature competes with his ambition, leading to mental anguish and hallucinations that undermine his initial desires and actions. The discord between Macbeth’s ambition and his conscience could lead to hesitancy or failings in their shared, dark endeavor.

describe how sauntering is presented in "A MOUNTAIN CALLING"

Answers

What book is this from, you can't be helped if you don't add the necessary info

In "A MOUNTAIN CALLING," sauntering is depicted as a leisurely journey through nature and various environments, suggesting a contemplative and introspective experience contrasting with hurried movement.

The portrayal of sauntering in the poem "A MOUNTAIN CALLING" can be interpreted through its suggestive imagery of leisurely exploration and a connection with nature. The poem's narrative describes an individual wandering through various settings, embracing serene encounters such as being with friends, observing animal tracks, and strolling through scenery that ranges from the ordinary to the celestial. These descriptions are evocative of a slow-paced, observant journey that aligns with the concept of sauntering. Moreover, John Muir's famous line, "The mountains are calling & [sic] I must go," illustrates a yearning for the tranquility and adventure that accompanies such unhurried travels, and this desire is echoed in the poem when it speaks of voyaging and exploring. The act of sauntering emerges as a contrast to swift or purpose-driven motion, highlighting a contemplative and intimate engagement with the surroundings, whether mundane or magnificent.

What is the predicate noun?
What is the word in the subject that it renames?


3) Even though Hope likes every kind of ice cream, chocolate is her favorite flavor.

Answers

her renames Hope because Hope is in the subject and her renames Hope

Final answer:

A predicate noun follows a linking verb and renames the subject; in the example 'chocolate is her favorite flavor,' 'favorite flavor' is the predicate noun that renames 'chocolate'.

Explanation:

Predicate Noun Explained

A predicate noun is a noun or pronoun that follows a linking verb and renames or identifies the subject. It is often called a predicate nominative. For example, in the sentence 'The winner is Emily,' 'Emily' is the predicate noun because it follows the linking verb 'is' and renames the subject 'the winner.'

The Subject and Predicate Relationship

The subject of a sentence tells us who or what the sentence is about, while the predicate includes the verb and the remainder of the sentence, and it tells us something about the subject. In many cases, the simple subject is a noun which can name a person, place, thing, or idea.

Example Breakdown

In the sentence provided, 'Even though Hope likes every kind of ice cream, chocolate is her favorite flavor,' the subject is 'chocolate,' and the predicate noun is 'favorite flavor,' which renames 'chocolate' and follows the linking verb 'is.'

Which of the underlined words in the sentence is a subjective case pronoun Obviously we will arrive at the movie theater before the others. We, at,theater, and others are the underline words... please help

Answers

Final answer:

In the sentence provided, 'we' is the subjective case pronoun as it is the subject performing the action of the verb 'will arrive'.

Explanation:

Pronouns have three cases: subjective, objective, and possessive. Subjective case pronouns are used as subjects of a sentence or clause. In your sentence, 'Obviously we will arrive at the movie theater before the others,' the underlined word that is a subjective case pronoun is 'we'. This is because it serves as the subject performing the action of 'will arrive.' Objective case pronouns function as objects in a sentence and include words like 'me,' 'us,' 'him,' 'her,' and 'them.' Possessive case pronouns show ownership and include 'my/mine,' 'our/ours,' 'your/yours,' 'his/her/hers,' 'their/theirs,' 'whose.'

which best describes the movement of water in ocean waves up and down or left or right?

Answers

I would say up down.

The movement of water in ocean waves is upstream and downstream instead of moving right or left.

What are ocean waves?

Ocean waves can be classified into a wind wave, water wave, or wind-generated water wave is a surface wave that develops on a body of water's free surface as a result of the wind blowing over the water's surface. The fetch is the distance at which two objects come into touch when facing the wind.

Further Ocean waves generate enormous amounts of electricity, which can be used to generate wave energy or tidal energy, both of which are sustainable resources.

However wind is the most frequent cause of waves. The friction between the wind and the surface of the water produces wind-driven waves, also known as surface waves. A wave crest is produced when wind continuously disturbs the water's surface in an ocean or lake.

Thus the ocean waves are move ups and downs.

 He used the ring to distract the spiders away from the dwarves. I guess his traits were the ring and his cleverness.
Final answer:

The theme of ordinary characters making extraordinary differences in 'The Hobbit' is illustrated in episodes where Bilbo saves the dwarves from spiders and when he uses the Arkenstone to prevent a battle. His bravery, quick-thinking, leadership, resourcefulness, and wisdom shine in these instances.

Explanation:

The theme in The Hobbit that ordinary characters can make extraordinary differences is evident in the episode where Bilbo saves the dwarves from the spiders. Key traits such as bravery, quick-thinking, and leadership enable Bilbo to succeed. For example, he demonstrates his bravery by deciding to face the spiders, his quick-thinking by creating a diversion to then sneak attack the spiders, and his leadership by taking control of the situation to guide the dwarves to safety.

Another episode that illustrates this theme is when Bilbo takes the Arkenstone to bargain with the men and elves to prevent more bloodshed during the Battle of the Five Armies. This act exemplifies bravery, resourcefulness, and wisdom, traits normally not associated with hobbits, yet made a significant impact on the outcome of the story.

These episodes highlight how ordinary characters can perform extraordinary feats when under pressure, illustrating a key theme of the novel and offering critical lessons about bravery, leadership, and wisdom.
