Can you change the voice of a paragraph from sentence to sentence?I have this: General Gage was ordered to deploy troops to Massachusetts. He acted...

The idea of switching between active and passive voice
within a paragraph is not only allowed in grammar, but in my
opinion, recommended.  I can see where you might be confused however, because of all the
lessons learned about not switching verb tenses within a paragraph
(or essay) and maintaining a uniform point-of-view.  Active and passive voice are not
under the same rules of uniformity as verbs and
point-of-view.

To put it simply, active
voice in a sentence makes the subject of the sentence commit the action.  In
a passive voice sentence, the subject is acted upon.  Within one
paragraph, a variety of passive and active sentences may very well still revolve around
the same topic.

Many experts suggest that when writing
argumentatively, sentences written in active voice tend to sound
stronger and more authoritative.  This is mostly true, in my opinion, and I very often
make suggestions for student writing to reflect this.  Active voice sentences can also
be kept much shorter, which drives a point home quicker.  However, an entire essay full
of sentences written only in the active voice, could very well come
across as simplistic, elementary, and lacking complexity of
thought.

Your example sounds great so far.  Keep
going!

How do antibiotics affects the normal flora of the large intestine? Why are the human cells that line the large intestine not destroyed by the...

Antibodies come in contact with microbes that reside in
the large intestine as the chemicals are ingested as tablets and their absorption starts
in the intestines where the outer coating of the tablets is
dissolved.

As the concentration of antibodies is
particularly high in the intestines, the microbes in the large intestine are affected in
a very adverse manner by the antibodies. The result is a rapid reduction in the number
of bacteria.

This is not good for our health as a very
large number of good bacteria live in the intestines. They help in
the digestion of food and in the absorption of many vital nutrients. The
good bacteria also keep the number of harmful bacteria in check.
The affect of antibodies is a disruption in the process of digestion. Over a prolonged
period of time it can lead to deficiency of nutrients like vitamin K and the B vitamins.
The chances of infections due to the bad bacteria also go
up.

Human cells in the intestines are not destroyed by
antibodies as antibodies are substances that selectively interfere in the chemical
processes of bacterial cells. As these processes do not take place in human cells in the
same way as they do in the target bacteria, the human cells do not suffer any
damage.

In Act 1 Scene 3, how are the characters of Macbeth and Banquo different?Only up to Act 1 Scene 3 please.

Banquo is the first to notice the witches, questioning
them and making observations about what the witches look like.  Macbeth adds a one-line
question: “Speak, if you can: what are you?”  Already, Banquo seems more able or likely
to question and challenge the strange beings, while Macbeth seems almost
speechless.

After the witches hail Macbeth as thane of Glamis, thane
of Cawdor, and “king herafter,” Macbeth stands startled and silent. We know about
Macbeth’s amazement because Banquo says:

readability="6">

Good sir, why do you start; and seem to
fear
Things that do sound so
fair?

Banquo goes
on to boldly ask the witches what they have to say about his
future:

readability="6">

Speak then to me, who neither beg nor
fear
Your favours nor your
hate.

The witches
reveal to Banquo that his descendants will be kings although he himself will not. Then
the witches vanish as Macbeth finally speaks and tries to ask them more detail about
what they mean with their prophecies about him. Macbeth wishes they had stayed to
explain.

Banquo and Macbeth may be almost laughing the incident off
except that Ross and Angus enter to deliver the news that King Duncan has awarded the
Thane of Cawdor’s title to Macbeth as a reward for his courageous support of the King in
the rebellion.

Banquo warns Macbeth that the witches--”the
instruments of darkness"--could be winning them with attractive truths while in reality,
the witches intend to betray them:

readability="10">

But ‘tis strange:
And oftentimes, to
win us to our harm,
The instruments of darkness tell us truths,
Win
us with honest trifles, to betray’s
In deepest
consequence.

The first
prophecy has come true. Because the witches hailed Macbeth first as Thane of Glamis, the
title he already possesses, Macbeth says to himself; that “two truths are told.”  If the
first two are true, perhaps the prophecy about becoming king will be true,
too.

Again, Macbeth seems more impressed by the witches and their
prophecies than Banquo does. Does Macbeth have more ambition than Banquo? Has he already
thought about becoming king? Macbeth thinks to himself that his hair seems to stand on
end and his heart is pounding--he is already considering murdering
Duncan:

readability="6">

My thought, whose murder yet is but
fantastical...

In the
meantime, Banquo stands with Ross and Angus; all three notice that Macbeth is lost in
thought.  Banquo is not a fascinated about the prophecies as Macbeth. Banquo even calls
Macbeth back to reality:

readability="6">

Worthy Macbeth, we stay upon your
leisure.

Macbeth comes to
himself and gives the other men a lame excuse about why he was so
distracted:

readability="5">

Give me your favour: my dull brain was
wrought
With things
forgotten.

Thus in this scene
we see that Banquo seems more practical and cautious in considering the witches and
their prophecies. Macbeth seems initially more startled and even speechless when he
first sees and hears the witches. When he see that the witches have spoken some truth,
he becomes fixated on the idea of being king--and even briefly considers murder to get
kingship. Banquo is not so impressed with what the witches have said and even warns
Macbeth to be careful.

what is an example of connatative language in the speech to the second virginia convention

Patrick Henry was trying to convince the delegates at the
convention to go to war against the British.  He needed to evoke emotional responses of
justified anger from them to win them over to his ideas.  The words he uses are like
power kegs of secondary emotional meaning.  The American Heritage Dictionary says
that

 "A
connotation includes the emotions or associations that surround a word." (See
Link)

Patrick Henry, an
outstanding orator, was not naive to the power of words.  He creates feelings of loyalty
with words such as patriotism, freedom, and liberty.
He also uses words such as betrayed, treason, submission, retreat,
disloyalty, subjugation, slavery, and death to stir up
the righteous indignation of these  men. He utilizes powerful phrases in the speech such
as insidious smile and illusions of hope, and
the one phrase that will evoke emotion even today in speeches God and our
country.

In "Thank You, M'am," please give one quote that Mrs. Jones says and analysis of what it demonstrates about her.

Of course, what characters say is a great way of
identifying the kind of characters that they are. A lot of the characteristics we are
given about Mrs. Jones, the famous character from this story, can be deduced from the
kind of things that she says. Consider the following
example:

I
have done things, too, which I would not tell you, son--neither tell God, if He didn't
already know. Everybody's got something in
common.

What is fascinating
about this quote is the way that it shows the sympathy, empathy and understanding of
Mrs. Jones towards Roger. She does not give him a massive lecture and tell him off,
instead she just says that she has done things that she is ashamed of as well, and then
leaves it at that. Establishing this connection is something that helps their
friendship, and means that the impact of Mrs. Jones on Roger's life is one that will
last forever.

What in the past does Ralph think about in Chapter 7 of Lord of the Flies ? How is this contrasted with the present?

Ralph has finally become aware of his extreme
uncleanliness, and he wishes he had the means to cut his hair and clean his clothes
properly. He yearns for a pair of scissors, so he can cut his unruly hair "back to half
an inch." On the beach, he "planned his toilet." In addition to cutting his hair, he
wishes for soap to properly wash himself and his clothes. He wants a toothbrush to clean
his teeth. He has bitten his nails "down to the quick," but he cannot remember when he
had returned to this old habit. He worries that he will "Be sucking my thumb
next--"

Ralph daydreams of the time spent with his father
in a "succession of houses" where it snowed and where wild ponies roamed. When it became
too cold, he could always go inside for warmth. He had a bed to sleep in and a "bowl of
cornflakes with sugar and cream." And there were plenty of books to read to relieve his
boredom and fuel his fantasies.

readability="5">

Everything was all right; everything was
good-humored and friendly.

On
the island, Ralph had none of these things: no shelter, nothing to read, no parents for
guidance, and the continuous conflict that arose between the other
boys.

In "Through the Tunnel," would you have made the same decision that Jerry did? Explain.

This is actually rather a difficult question to answer,
because I think that a number of the factors that made Jerry decide to swim through the
tunnel were unique to his situation and background. Let us note that Jerry has only his
mother to look after him, and his mother certainly is struggling to let him have the
freedom and independence that he needs so that he can grow up and mature by himself.
Note how the mother is described:

readability="7">

He was an only child, eleven years old. She was a
widow. She was determined to be neither possessive nor lacking in devotion. She went
worrying off to her
beach.

She is clearly finding
it hard to get the balance between loving Jerry yet giving him space, and Jerry's lack
of a father-figure would give him the desire to prove himself in reaction to his
mother's over-protective love. Thus we can see that Jerry's decision to swim through the
tunnel can be explained in relation to his personal
circumstances.

For me, I grew up with both my parents and
so probably would not have felt the need to prove myself in such a dangerous way. Having
a father who encouraged me and my brother to be independent and to mature from an early
age would have meant that I would not have felt the need to swim through the
tunnel.
