For questions 1-5 refer to Alexander Pope's "Ode on Solitude":
Happy the man whose wish and care

Content to breathe his native air,

Whose flocks supply him with attire,
Whose trees in summer yield him shade,

In health of body, peace of mind,
Quiet by day,
Sound sleep by night; study and ease,
Together mixt; sweet recreation;
And Innocence, which most does please

Thus unlamented let me die,
Steal from the world, and not a stone
Tell where I lie.

provide a platform for players to interact and form intricate, meaningful, and lasting
social connections. For many, these games have therapeutic value, a way to unplug
from reality and temporarily forget about daily stressors. However, they are a
perpetual source of problems for many young people across our country. While I am
a proponent of video games, I strongly believe that they possess the capacity to
interfere with academic performance and create unhealthy habits, which is why limits
and conditions should be set regarding their use.
Parents are quick to rail against video games for causing sleep de - ANSWER-To
better engage his audience and illustrate his point.
Anecdotes can be used to engage or recapture the audience's attention, especially
when the speaker senses he may be losing the audience's attention. In Tim's case, a
funny anecdote will help endear him to his audience while illustrating how difficult
student life can be when you spend too much of your evening playing video games.
