Answer:

Challenges Young Adults Face

Introduction

Good morning everyone! My name is ___________ and today I am here to talk to you about the challenges young adults face. Across the United States, young adults are facing a range of issues that could be hindering their success and opportunities. From poverty and lack of education to mental health and substance abuse, these issues are preventing young adults from reaching their full potential. It is essential that we, as a society, are aware of the challenges young adults are facing and understand how we can help support them.

Body

When it comes to young adults, there are a variety of issues that can affect them. One of the most common issues is poverty. According to a 2019 report from the U.S. Census Bureau, approximately 11.8 million young adults (ages 18-24) live in poverty. This is a staggering statistic that highlights the need for economic relief for young adults.

In addition to poverty, young adults are also facing a lack of education. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, only 34% of young adults (ages 18-24) have completed an associate’s degree or higher. This is a concerning statistic as education is essential for success and opportunity.

Mental health is also a major issue that young adults are facing. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, one in four young adults (ages 18-25) have been diagnosed with a mental illness. Mental health is often overlooked and it is essential that we acknowledge and support those who are struggling.

Finally, substance abuse is another issue that young adults are facing. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, 18% of young adults (ages 18-25) reported using illicit drugs in the past month. Substance abuse can have a range of negative effects and can be detrimental to a young adult’s health and wellbeing.

Conclusion

In conclusion, young adults are facing a range of issues that can hinder their success and opportunities. From poverty and lack of education to mental health and substance abuse, these issues are preventing young adults from reaching their full potential. It is essential that we, as a society, are aware of the challenges young adults are facing and understand how we can help support them. Thank you for your time and attention.

Read the excerpt below from Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton and answer the question that follows.

They finished supper, and while Mattie cleared the table Ethan went to look at the cows and then took a last turn about the house. The earth lay dark under a muffled sky and the air was so still that now and then he heard a lump of snow come thumping down from a tree far off on the edge of the wood-lot.
When he returned to the kitchen Mattie had pushed up his chair to the stove and seated herself near the lamp with a bit of sewing. The scene was just as he had dreamed of it that morning. He sat down, drew his pipe from his pocket and stretched his feet to the glow. His hard day’s work in the keen air made him feel at once lazy and light of mood, and he had a confused sense of being in another world, where all was warmth and harmony and time could bring no change. The only drawback to his complete well-being was the fact that he could not see Mattie from where he sat; but he was too indolent to move and after a moment he said: “Come over here and sit by the stove.”
Zeena’s empty rocking-chair stood facing him. Mattie rose obediently, and seated herself in it. As her young brown head detached itself against the patch-work cushion that habitually framed his wife’s gaunt countenance, Ethan had a momentary shock. It was almost as if the other face, the face of the superseded woman, had obliterated that of the intruder. After a moment Mattie seemed to be affected by the same sense of constraint. She changed her position, leaning forward to bend her head above her work, so that he saw only the foreshortened tip of her nose and the streak of red in her hair; then she slipped to her feet, saying “I can’t see to sew,” and went back to her chair by the lamp. Ethan made a pretext of getting up to replenish the stove, and when he returned to his seat he pushed it sideways that he might have a view of her profile and of the lamplight falling on her hands. The cat, who had been a puzzled observer of these unusual movements, jumped up into Zeena’s chair, rolled itself into a ball, and lay watching them with narrowed eyes.

The line “Mattie had pushed up his chair to the stove and seated herself near the lamp with a bit of sewing. The scene was just as he had dreamed” uses which rhetorical device?
A.
alliteration
B.
syntax
C.
dramatic irony
D.

E.

Read the following excerpts from two speeches given by Franklin D.
Roosevelt at the onset of America's entrance into World War II in 1941. The
first one was given to Congress and the second one was a radio address to
the nation:
1. As Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy, I have
directed that all measures be taken for our defense. But
always will our whole nation remember the character of
the onslaught against us.... - [T]he American people in
their righteous might will win through to absolute victory.
2. And in the difficult hours of this day – through dark days
that may be yet to come - we will know that the vast
majority of the members of the human race are on our
side. Many of them are fighting with us. All of them are
praying for us. But, in representing our cause, we represent
theirs as well - our hope and their hope for liberty under
God.
Which most accurately describes a major difference in the emphasis between
the two speeches?
