Which lines in this excerpt from shakespeare’s romeo and juliet foreshadow the tragic ending of the play?

romeo: peace, peace, mercutio, peace!
thou talk'st of nothing.

merutio: true, i talk of dreams,
which are the children of an idle brain,
begot of nothing but vain fantasy,
which is as thin of substance as the air
and more inconstant than the wind, who wooes
even now the frozen bosom of the north,
and, being anger'd, puffs away from thence,
turning his face to the dew-dropping south.

benvolio: this wind, you talk of, blows us from ourselves;
supper is done, and we shall come too late.

romeo: i fear, too early: for my mind misgives
some consequence yet hanging in the stars
shall bitterly begin his fearful date
with this night's revels and expire the term
of a despised life closed in my breast
by some vile forfeit of untimely death.
but he, that hath the steerage of my course,
direct my sail! on, lusty gentlemen.

Which of these introductory paragraphs is missing a thesis statement? lori lanson wrote, “the city, no matter how small, is corrupt and unrepentant, while the sun shines brighter in the country, making people more wholesome.” like the writer, some people think living in the country is better than living in the city. others disagree, believing that the city is full of excitement, diversity, and opportunities. when deciding whether to live in the country or the city, first consider the pros and cons of living in each environment. did you know that there are over 33 grams of sugar in a can of soda? that is over the daily limit of total sugar for most people. so if just having one can of soda can put you over your daily limit, think about how all the sugar in cookies, candy, and other treats can add up. the average american has up to 82 grams of sugar each day. that's almost three times the recommended amount! americans consume large amounts of sugar in their daily diets, which leads to a variety of health problems. go outside on a windy day and you can feel the power of the energy of the future. wind energy is created by using large wind turbines which changes the energy from the wind into electricity to power our homes and workplaces. wind power is available every day of the year, rain or shine. a large fan, called a wind turbine, is made up of a blade, a rotor, a drive train, a tower, and other things like electrical wires. a clenched stomach; tight, painful shoulders and neck; a racing mind. these are just a few of the symptoms of stress that many people feel on a daily basis. the pressures of work, school, and relationships can affect our bodies and our minds. fortunately, we can counteract these negative symptoms. mindfulness techniques, such as daily meditation, have been proven to increase wellbeing and reduce stress, illness, and disease. people should consider making daily habits out of these practices.

Which line in this excerpt from the great gatsby by f. scott fitzgerald contains a simile? about half way between west egg and new york the motor-road hastily joins the railroad and runs beside it for a quarter of a mile, so as to shrink away from a certain desolate area of land. this is a valley of ashes—a fantastic farm where ashes grow like wheat into ridges and hills and grotesque gardens where ashes take the forms of houses and chimneys and rising smoke and finally, with a transcendent effort, of men who move dimly and already crumbling through the powdery air. occasionally a line of grey cars crawls along an invisible track, gives out a ghastly creak and comes to rest, and immediately the ash-grey men swarm up with leaden spades and stir up an impenetrable cloud which screens their obscure operations from your sight.
