I want to go to an online college/university to become a medical transcriptionist. I know there are like 6 month courses I could take, but I don't want to take that route.

“A lie told often enough becomes the truth,” by Vladimir Lenin. This quote means when you hear anything, a lie or something true over and over, you will believe it because that is what you have been hearing. The play The Crucible, by Arthur Miller agrees with this quote in many ways.
A literary element that agrees with this quote and the play, The Crucible, is setting. The setting of this play is in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692. The people back then did not have much information, so it was harder to prove anything. Once someone heard a story over again it was just easy to believe it without thinking long about it. Then they would tell one person and all of a sudden everyone knows about it. The people just believed about the devil in the town because that is all they knew. Many of the people came to conclusions way to fast because they were to scared, and also, did not want to be accused.
Another literary element that agrees with this quote and the play, The Crucible, is characterization. Abigail was a very sneaky person who blamed anyone because she did not care about anyone else except for herself. She made people believe things that were not true. Abigail made believe that Elizabeth’s doll was a voodoo doll and she did witch craft to hurt her. Also, she made all the girls do and say what she said. Then the girls were scared they were going to get into trouble so they just believed what she was telling them.
A lie told often enough becomes the truth,” by Vladimir Lenin agrees with the play The Crucible, by Arthur Miller in various ways. If enough people hear a lie told convincingly enough, they will come to believe it, and so they will repeat it, and thinking what they are saying is true.

In the previews for the new Harry Potter movie Dumbledore says something that sounds like "encontra vertebra." Is this a made up "magic" thing or is it a real word? I could have sworn I'd heard it before but I'm not sure what it means or how it is even spelled...Help anyone?

Love is not all: it is not meat nor drink
Nor slumber nor a roof against the rain;
Nor yet a floating spar to men that sink
And rise and sink and rise and sink again;
Love can not fill the thickened lung with breath,
Nor clean the blood, nor set the fractured bone;
Yet many a man is making friends with death
Even as I speak, for lack of love alone.
It well may be that in a difficult hour,
Pinned down by pain and moaning for release,
Or nagged by want past resolution's power,
I might be driven to sell your love for peace,
Or trade the memory of this night for food.
It well may be. I do not think I would.

What is the significance of the poem? what is the author trying to say? What can you say about the poem

I am currently a 10th grader living in California. I want to get into UC Berkeley and was wondering what I need to do.

Classes:

Freshman Year

English Honors- A/A
Spanish 1- A/A
Freshman Foods- A/A
Geometry-A/A
Physical Science- A/A

GPA 4.0

Sophomore Year

English Honors- A/?
Spanish 2- C/?
Alg. 2/Trig- B/?
Biology- A/?
World History Honoros- A/?

GPA 3.4 (They wrote 2.833 because I failed Physical Education, but I believe that does not get factored into the GPA UC Berkeley looks at)

Overall GPA so far, 3.562
Class Rank is 121 out of 587

I am sure I can improve my second semester grades for Sophomore year, I just had a bad semester because I was going through some family issues.

Extracurricular activities:
Boxing
Baseball

I took a PSAT and got 1800

I am wondering what I can do to get into UC Berkeley as I really want to go there. I wanted to know things like can I still get in, how many AP's to take, etc.

I just made a BIG mistake. Im 15 and i went into an 18+ chatroom online. I was talking to someone and told him i was 15. I also told him that i was going to tell him a sexual story(just because i think these people are stupid and wanted to see how he'd react.) He said he didnt want to hear it and because i was to you. I then left and went back to the chat. A few minutes later i was kicked and it said that my IP address had been taken and if necissary the website would contact the proper authorities. Should I be worried? Is there anything I can do now to make things better? What could the consequences be?

A student comes to you with these sentences. The student has no idea why they are wrong except that his or her teacher said that each sentence has problem with pronouns. Look over each of these sentences. Tell the student what is wrong and explain how he or she should fix the problem.
