yes ma'am thanks

So what do I write to get a good grade?

I don’t have time to read the play so can someone just give me the answer to the writin?

no i don't understand what they are asking im not asking for the answer im asking for help to understand!

ok thanks well ive put my answers if you could check them that would be great !!?

ok thanks for 3 i put in my own words and in my quiz i got 1 out of 4 on that question if i copied an pasted and submitted it could you tell me what i did wrong and what i could fix

Possibly. I'm familiar with the story in general, but I've never read the play.

You're welcome.

Remember! You need to follow ALL the instructions whenever you're given assignments, whether for written assignments or others.

The questions seem quite clear to me. Let me re-space what you copied/pasted, and you can see if that helps.

1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 all seem correct.

I don't know about 9.

ok 3. question Act II of A Christmas Carol: Scrooge and Marley contains several messages. In a paragraph, explain how one of these messages is conveyed in the second act of the play. Include at least two details from the play to support your points:

When one person changes for the better, others are affected for the better.
Only greedy people will be present at the end of a greedy life.
Wealth makes people rich only if they share their wealth.
my answer. without doubt sharing is a wonderful quality. Only godlike people share. normal people just don’t care , and the greedy people like
Scrooge only collect wealth and lived a miserable life.

1. I think you are making vast generalizations without supplying any proof. Is it really true that "normal people just don't care"? Really? Who are these "normal people"? And 100% of them "just don't care"? And how would you prove that? Another generalization >> "Only godlike people share" << I have the same questions about that clause.

2. Your instructions say to include at least 2 details from the play to support what you wrote. Do you intend this to be such support? >>"the greedy people like Scrooge only collect wealth and lived a miserable life."<<
That's pretty shaky! It also includes generalizations.
PLUS -- where is your second detail from the play?

No tutor here will give you the answers, but if anyone else tries, you'll both be banned. Be careful.

However, if you read and reread the sections of the play that each question asks about and indicate what YOU think, a tutor should be able to check your work.
