I have to learn the calculations 'cause I have a strict teacher. You have to do so many questions until the rest becomes homework...

(sorry to double post!)
Doing English homework- but stuck! Dx
Here's the question:
"Identify any one technique used by the writer in this paragraph and explain how it helps to convey the impact of the storm"
The paragraph:
"That night we learn more important lessons about the sea when we are struck by a sudden, violent squall. We are tacking in a light breeze, when there is a bang as the sails are battered by winds gusting to gale force eight, and the ship heels 15 degrees to port"

My chances of passing Standard Grade English is not very likely.

If I were you, I would talk about what I made Bold. I would talk about the diction in the quote.

Thanks Jman
I got another -_-
Question:
"Comment on the effectiveness of the opening sentence of this paragragh"
The (whole)Paragraph:
"And then, as abruptly as it came, the squall is gone. The stars reappear, and the mini-storm becomes an opaque curtain against a ghostly light on the horizone"
This whole homework is about a boat, by the way.

The question does seem a little vague

Did you talk about the metaphor?

The questions are always confusing
Anyway, I've got 1 question to do for tommorow in Maths(hahaha!), but since I've been off, I haven't a CLUE what to do!!!
Ok, so it's distance-speed-time.
Q) Calculate the distance travelled on the journeys.
a) Speed: 30 km/h
Time (h): 5
b) Speed: 75 km/h
Time (h): 6
c) Speed: 24 mph
Time (h): 3
d) Speed: 60 mph
Time(h): 9

It's very simple, you use the formula D=ST so you just times the speed by the time.
