PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP PLEASE I REALLY NEED THE ANSWER VERY URGENT PLEASE IM BEGGING 30 pts man please Read the Poem "High Dive" and then answer the prompt that follows.

High Dive

My stomach is communing with my toes

My legs - boiled noodles having no will to support

I force one foot up

then the other.

I hold fiercely to the hand rails

as I climb slowly.

The voices of my fear screech their warnings,

"Don't go! Don't go!"

Pushing my fear behind me, I step onto the board.

It quivers alive - mirroring my quaking legs.

I struggle cautiously to the end;

Cementing my feet, I lean precariously forward

and peer into the depths below.

The twinkling eyes of the ripples catch my frightened stare;

The crystalline nymphs implore me,

"Just fall forward! Stretch out your fingers. We will catch you!"

I almost believe leaning ever nearer

Then - fear grabs me.

"Don't do it! It's too far!"

The voices do battle;

I'm caught in between!

Suddenly a new voice enters the fray.

"If you're gonna jump, jump! You're holding up the line!"

I turn, aware that several bodies block my escape.

I look to the right and see my friends beckoning far beneath me.

I lock my fear away,

Place my arms over my head

and fall forward.

My fingers slice the surface

I plunge into the quiet depths

Hearing the whispers around me

"You did it! You did it!"

I emerge - smiling -

The nymphs victorious

Fear slinks away.

I leave the pool and walk back with gained confidence to where my journey began.

Will anyone be able to check for grammatical errors and give an opinion on the essay itself? write about the following topic: some people believe that allowing children to make their own cholces on everyday matters (such as food, clothes and entertainment) is likely to result in a society of individuals who only think about their own wishes. other people believe that it is important for children to make decisions about matters that affect them. discuss both these views and give your own opinion. —— nowadays, in this busy and fast developing world teaching children from an early age to cope with their own decisions (such as food, clothes etc.) and then take the coincidences after that is something that a lot of people believe that it is important for them. on the other hand other people think that it might end up in a society of humans who put their wishes before anyone else's. but which one of these views will predominate? firstly, the people who allow their children to make their own decisions are the people who everyone should look up to. it is important to let your children learn from the mistakes their make. the parents can not be with them all the time every day and for that reason, teaching them to deal with their decisons or even problems will them in the future. of course, there are always disadvantages such as some people may really forget about that their children will need them at a certain point in life and may loose connection whit them. but that is why it should have that moderately path, where kids will make their own decisions but will feel comfortable to always ask for a advice tueur parents. on the other hand, there are and the second type of parents which think that too much individualism is not good. it really depends on the parents how they will teach their children to carry on with the independence they have. a lot of them might forget that they are still kids and will need and advices from time to time and because of that the parents turn their kids in individuals who only think about their own wishes due to the fact that they are let on their own and have to cope with everyone and everything by themselves. in conclusion, i think that the best decision someone can make is to look up to the first type of parents. that way they will be able to train their children to become independent people who will respect the wishes of others and they will be able to cope with their decisions in the future when they need it.

Read the excerpt from act iv, scene iv of romeo and juliet. capulet: good faith! ’tis day: the county will be here with music straight, for so he said he would. [music within.] i hear him near. nurse! wife! what, no! what, nurse, i say! 30 re-enter nurse. go waken juliet, go and trim her up; i’ll go and chat with paris. hie, make haste, make haste; the bridegroom he is come already: make haste, i say. [exeunt.] 35 this scene is an example of dramatic irony used to create suspense since the audience knows that the musicians will not arrive on time. capulet approves of the match to paris. romeo is already married to juliet. the nurse will be unable to rouse juliet.
