Can someone know how to paraphrase this text? (URGENT!!!!!!)?
Solar panels are made up of many solar cells, each with two different layers. In the first layer, the electrons are poised to move to the second layer. When the second layer loses electrons the electrons from the first layer can move up. Light hitting an electron in the first layer causes electrons to move to the second layer starting the flow of electricity, something we use at work everyday. To paraphrase, you read over the words and then change words around, or change words completely, to convey the correct message without copying it word for word. You still have to cite your source even when you paraphrase.
What is the theme of the poem, “Regret”, by Charlotte Brontë?
I am answering because the question made me curious. I had to read “Regret” again.At first, I took the obvious meaning of missing home, most young folk want to leave, get away from the controlling family or maybe want to spread their wings, but then, in a few years, those same folks miss the place that they call home. That meaning is pretty obviousThen, the dead lover William—so the narrator is at sea at some point, and misses the call of the deepBut the narrator is also calling to William in Heaven.So—I am left with a question—the obvious theme is regret, but what does the narrator regret? Is it the loss? I don’t get that—is it regret that the narrator spent too much time at sea and William died while the narrator was gone?
What are the worst books that are often required reading for American middle and high school students?
Wuthering Heights, Scarlet Letter, Rebecca, and other books past their expiration date - The legendary surprise twist in The Scarlet Pimpernel (hailed as brilliant in 1905 and visible far in advance by any modern 10-year-old) is that the dashing hero has disguised himself as a Jew.Great Expectations and all Dickens - Yawn. For the pagecount that schools spend on Dickens, kids could read both Gone with the Wind and Roots, which are engagingly written, build an emotional connection to history, and provide something to actually talk about.The Catcher in the Rye and The Bell Jar - These never did it for me in the 1990's, and I don't see why they would work for high schoolers in the 2010's. I would have really enjoyed The Outsiders or The Perks of Being a Wallflower.A Separate Peace - Ender's Game is a 1000% better tale of boarding school, war, and death.Uncle Tom's Cabin - Simply not a good book.Prose translations of the Odyssey or the Iliad - Vomit. Why take the epic and the poetry out of epic poetry?Frankenstein, Waiting for Godot, the Awakening - Of historical interest only, since their once-provocative themes have been fully incorporated into modern discourse.Gulliver's Travels - The Daily Show offers better satire 4 nights a week.More than one Shakespeare play - Some kids will pick up Elizabethan on the first go, others won't and shouldn't be made to feel inadequate. Struggling through one play is a great lesson in what a dialect really is and can shed some first-hand experience on the language barriers that Indian, Chinese, and Arabic-speakers deal with while supposedly speaking the same language.Melville, Faulkner, Camus - Shoving these on high schoolers is absurdly early.Huckleberry Finn - Not a bad read, but why is this revered? A jumping frog short story is enough Twain for the canon.Death of a Salesman, anything by Tennessee Williams - We are past this.
What is the definition of plagiarism?
Plagiarism simply is using somebody else's work and pretending that you did it. Attempting to convince others that it is your work. Either by omitting the truth or out right lying about the origins of said work. This can be done intentionally or by accident by forgetting to add the quotation marks or mention the original author/artist/inventor/ideas person somewhere in your piece. If found out, your intentions would absolutely be questioned, even if forgetfulness it the truth. It's helpful when writing assignments to have access to plagiarism software, especially at college or uni, which read through your work and compare to 'god knows HOW many' written articles/books/essays looking for word and sentence matches (specific software then often provides the original source which I found really helpful to check against my bibliography while at uni!) Here is an example of plagiarism. If I continue with this answer and don't tell you that the writing beneath, determining the difference between plagiarism and appropriation, was written by Gunnar Swanson. I am plagiarising his work...Without these quote marks > "The line between appropriation and plagiarism doesn’t exist in that they are not really degrees of the same thing as the question seems to imply. Although both may be related to copying, plagiarism isn’t the copy, it’s the lie of falsely claiming authorship. Appropriation when used in art is the reuse of material. As a tactic, it requires recognition of the original in the copy. In that sense, it almost has to be overt.If the copying is hidden (as in plagiarism) then it is not appropriation art by the most common definition nor is it really even an attempt at appropriation art. (Saying that appropriation is clearly not plagiarism is not necessarily an endorsement of appropriation art ethically or otherwise.)The place where there is any confusion comes from influence in other than appropriation. How transformative of one’s influences does one have to be before the work is purely derivative?" ... and without this rather handy URL reference ... - See more at: http://www.ethicsingraphicdesign... ... how would you know that what is written in this answer isn't entirely my own. I would be misleading you...perhaps to make you think I'm cleverer than I am. (Bit of a long and winding answer. First paragraph would probably have sufficed)
How do I learn to enjoy reading for the sake of improving as a writer?
"How do I learn to enjoy reading for the sake of improving as a writer?"Like a film student.Ever gone to the cinema with a film student? Tends to spoil the movie, but it can be really enlightening. Do you know why? Because a film student doesn't watch the movie, they are looking at it like a director. Why did the director use that shot, that camera angle, that wide shot, that close-up.The same applies to reading as a writer. Don't read just any book, but choose books that can teach you about writing and storytelling, and the genre you wish to write in. Keep a notebook by your side and write down your impressions whether you think something works or doesn't work, and how you would've handled it. Can you improve on the book? How?This is not the same as the (often boring) analysis of books in English Lit, but more like studying the prose and seeing whether you could improve on it.When you study books to improve your own writing, you have to take the age of the book also into account. While some revered books have been retained as 'timeless' classics, they're not really timeless. Someone writing now in the style of Jane Eyre or Madame Bovary or Wuthering Heights might make a fool of themselves, because even those writers wouldn't have written that way if they'd written these books in our time. Just like classic movies like Casablanca or Citizen Kane should be studied, but the style shouldn't necessarily be copied in contemporary movies.

Summary Writing: How do I describe its theme and subject matter when I am writing a summary?
The theme of a text is a recurring thought that occurs in the text. A theme of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is friendship. Harry, Ron, and Hermione are constantly supporting each other, even risking their lives to protect each other. You also see recurring friendship between Harry and Dumbledore, and Harry and Hagrid.A theme of Little Red Riding Hood is the vulnerability of women. Little Red Riding Hood should have been safe to walk through the woods alone, and her grandmother should have been safe in her own home. They cannot save themselves - they need the brave male woodcutter to help them, because they are vulnerable women.A theme of Cinderella is Good vs Evil. Despite all of the evil intentions of the step-mother, good triumphs for Cinderella because she is so kind and good (even all of the animals love her). She is so good that a fairy godmother turns up to help her. She is so beautiful and good that the prince falls in love with her in just one evening.A theme of To Kill a Mockingbird is racism. The defendant Tom Robinson would probably not have been accused if he had not been black, and the townsfolk wouldn't have been so sure of his guilt if he had not been black. Anyone who helps him in the text is accused of loving black people, and he is found guilty despite the fact that Atticus proves his innocence - because he is black. A theme of Jane Eyre is the disempowerment of women. Jane must accept her lot and be manipulated and abused by those around her because of her class and the assumptions about women at the time. She becomes empowered by receiving money and marrying a powerful man. She can't be empowered without those two vital ingredients.Now ... you do one.
