Think back to some of the stories you've read in the last year or two. of those, maybe you had one that you started to read, but you just couldn’t get into it. why? what made you keep putting it down? on the other hand, think about a story you really enjoyed. what literary elements did the writer use to make it impossible to put down? for example, was the protagonist easy to relate to? did the author describe the setting with such vivid detail that you felt you were right there?   authors will produce works that place more emphasis on one element than another. as a result, sometimes there are gaps in literary elements that typically appeal to you as the reader. discuss some of the recent stories you’ve read that have missed the mark. what advice would you give to that author to fill in the gaps you felt were missing? also give your opinion on some stories that you’ve really enjoyed. explain the elements that make it a good story. for example, how did the author use character, symbolism, or point of view to create such a page-turner?

Plz me asap select the correct text in the passage. which two sentences in the passage introduce counterarguments to the speaker’s position in favor of recycling? we only have a limited number of resources to serve humans around the globe. by recycling and reusing the resources we have, we can preserve what untouched natural resources we have while extending the life of the resources we’re currently using. admittedly, we cannot reuse or recycle all of the materials we use in our daily lives.some materials are not recyclable, such as certain food containers.others items are not biodegradable regardless of what we reuse them for, and that can create problems in the long run. my opponent would use these limitations of our ability to recycle to counter my points about the materials we can recycle.however, this is not an “all or nothing” scenario.we should reuse and recycle the materials that we can and try our best not to buy materials and products that can’t be reused or recycled.by doing our part and encouraging others to do their part, we can increase our chances of conserving our remaining natural and manmade resources over time.
