There are many themes in Year of Wonders.

There's the issue of feminism and women's rights, Anys is the main figure for this theme as she sleeps around and refuses to get married. It is after her visit to Anys that Anna begins to notice how the women are 'chained' to their man folk. Aswell, Mompelion forcing his wife to atone for her self abortion by not sleeping with him.

There are HEAPS of examples in here, you just have to look.

There's the issue of god and faith. At the begining, everybody has their full faith in religon and the church but as the novel goes on people begin to loose faith. Take when Anna considers the rock she tripped on and wonders whether it was placed by god.

Also to do with this theme is how various characters turn to other religious practices such as Anna's step mother and the guy (I cant remember his name :b) who turns to flagalism (sorry about spelling)

Again, the Gowdies have extreme relevance here as they are healers and accused of witchcraft.

There's the element of growth and evolvment of character. While Anna grows strong and becomes a hero, many either die or come out of the story worse for wear, like Mompellion.

Life and Death. Anna, after witnessing such destruction due to illness, ends up entering midwifery and aiding the enterance of many many children into life. Also Elinor, who is a large symbol in the novel or goodness and life, ends up dying.

I picked up on the love triangle between Anna, Mompellion and Elinor. There is reference to Mompellion being infatuated with Anna, such as when he lingers when she is breastfeeding, and at the end when they sleep together. However, in a way I saw Anna as admiring Elinor to the point of loving her and even being so obssessed as to want to BE Elinor, hence the sleeping with her husband and then feeling terrible after she learns Elinor had not. She also mentions being jealous of Mompellion at one point.

I'm sure there are heaps more aswell, I can't remember anymore of the top of my head though but good luck :D

The clue of the object refers to specific characteristics or hints that help identify or describe it. This can include its shape, color, size, material, or any distinctive features. Often, clues are used in puzzles or games to guide individuals toward recognizing the object in question. Understanding these clues is essential for solving the mystery or challenge presented.

Generally, the more of your senses you can use while learning something, the more likely you are to retain it. So reading it out loud invokes both your vision and hearing versus silent reading which only uses vision.

This means to stay at it, stay with it, do not stop doing it.

It adds nothing significant to the meaning of the conversation nor does it enhance the reputation of the person who used the word. The words are disrespectful and profane. Profanity also suggests disrespect to any religious figure and if you wish to include blasphemy, that is an offensive attack on religious figures, is sinful and in violation of the 10 Commandments.

"so entangled as to make escape impossible" So a sentence for inextricable would be,"I couldn't find my way through the inextricable maze."

Tituba was a slave that confessed to seeing the devil who appeared to her sometimes like a hog and sometimes like a great dog

I don't know one with a 1700 lexile (wow) but one with 1200 lexile is Understanding The Lord of The Flies and Understanding Romeo and Juliet is 1380, (yeah, kind of funny) and a book that is 1550 is Pride and Prejudice: School Desegregation. So pretty much, just read a book about understanding a classic.

Sight words are memorized, so there is no need to be able to sound them out. In order to read phonetically, knowledge of phonetics is needed.

It means providing context for a lesson. You teach addition and subtraction framed as "How many cookies do you have left?".

There are no reasons not to read. Reading is a valuable and necessary tool to learn, and a source of enjoyment for many, many people.

Reading would help you learn what a truly dumb question this is.

I learned the sounds (and names) of the letters when I started school at age 5. There were nearly 50 kids in the class. The main method used to teach reading was 'chalk-and-talk' with phonic methods as far as possible. There was none of that nonsense about 'reading readiness' or child-centred education. What's more there were practically no literacy problems, either!

no

Phonics is a kind of instruction that focuses on the different sounds letters make. There are more than 44 different sounds in the English language and more than 1200 ways to spell them. It is taught by teaching students all these different sounds and spellings and then showing them how to blend them together to guess the pronunciation of words they do not know.

Right now, phonics instruction is really popular with Programs like Hooked on Phonics and Fast Forward. However phonics instruction is still a controversial topic. Many students find it frustrating and ineffective. In my opinion, struggling readers and really anyone who is learning to read, needs to learn phonemic awareness first.

Phonemic awareness is the ability to hear all the different sounds in a word. If a reader can not hear the different sounds they will be unable to tell a long vowel from a short one or consonant blends or digraphs apart. Some programs teach phonemic awareness before phonics which allows students to build these basic auditory processing skills before trying to make sense of the 44 different sounds and the letters that go with them. My favorite all-encompassing reading program is Sound Reading Solutions (www.SoundReading.com). It comes in three levels that target different ages and abilities and is the best program I have found that teaches all the foundational skills essential to reading. They have a great page on their website that explains this in even more detail - http://soundreading.com/On-Phonics.html

Startled means to be in shock or amaze of something.
