In her letter, what does Annie say is her greatest problem with Helen?

In her letter, Annie says that the greatest problem she has with Helen is how to discipline her young charge without breaking her spirit.
Annie maintains that, thus far, no one else has tried to control Helen, and she sees it as a daunting task to do so. As Annie writes her letter, Helen has dumped out all the contents of her bottom bureau drawer so that she can tuck her doll into the drawer. Then, looking for something else to engage her attention, Helen soon turns to the items on Annie's desk. While groping about the desk, Helen knocks over the inkwell, and Annie has to grab a towel to clean up the spill.
To engage her charge, Annie then gives Helen a sewing card, needle, and thread. However, Helen soon pokes herself with the needle. To express her fury at her pain, Helen dashes her doll forcefully against the floor. Hurriedly, Annie spells "bad girl" onto Helen's hands and then demonstrates what a "good girl" does with her doll. Helen seems to understand, but she doesn't stay idle for long.
In a short moment, Helen picks up a pitcher and dashes it against the floor instead, fragmenting the pitcher into pieces. It appears as if Helen has learned to be careful with her doll but has yet to learn how to be careful with other things in the house.

Why is the girl dancing in chapter 14 of The Things They Carried?

In "Style," the fourteenth story in The Things They Carried, a young Vietnamese girl dances through the wreckage of her burned village. The fact that her parents are also dead makes her actions all the more incomprehensible, not least to the American soldiers who've just destroyed her village and killed her family. They speculate as to why she could be dancing in the midst of such horror. Azar thinks it may be some kind of ritual; maybe the girl just likes dancing, thinks Dobbins.
There doesn't seem to be a good reason for the girl's dancing. But then much the same could be said of Dobbins's wearing of his girlfriend's stockings round his neck. In both cases, something familiar, something that reminds each person of life before the war, is being used as a kind of talisman, a way of warding off the daily horrors of this bloody and destructive conflict.

Why did Julius Cesar invade Britain?

Through increased trade, Britain was developing closer links to the European continent. Moreover, the various British tribes of Southern England provided men and materiel for their counterparts in Gaul and Belgae (modern-day France and Belgium) in their never-ending conflict with Rome. On a strategic level, therefore, Britain was perceived by Caesar as a threat to his plan to pacify and subdue Gaul. Invading and successfully conquering the island would effectively cut off a crucial line of support to the Gallic tribes, making it easier for the Romans to defeat them.
The first invasion of Britain in 55 BC was more of a reconnaissance mission, designed to staunch the flow of men and arms making its way across the English Channel. The second invasion, in 54 BC, was much more ambitious, and though Caesar never actually conquered Britain, he left the island under Roman control by installing a British puppet ruler, the chieftain warrior Mandubracius.

In chapter 15 Jem says he's "just got this feeling." What events does this quote foreshadow?

Jem has always been a very observant young man. He has the uncanny ability to read people's expressions, interpret their behavior, and sense when something's not quite right. We see this illustrated in chapter 15 of To Kill a Mockingbird. One evening Jem answers the door: it's Sheriff Heck Tate. He doesn't come inside the house but instead Atticus goes outside to meet him. A group of men have shown up outside along with Heck; this is usually an ominous sign.
Initially, though, Jem seems to have got the wrong end of the stick. He thinks that the men standing talking to Atticus are some sort of gang, or maybe the Ku Klux Klan. It turns out that they're just regular folk, friends of Atticus such as Link Deas and Dr. Reynolds. Far from being some kind of lynch mob, they're actually trying to prevent one. They've heard whispers that a group of men from the country are going to descend on the courthouse to lynch Tom Robinson. So naturally everyone is concerned.
Although Jem may have misinterpreted what was happening outside, he's still incredibly uneasy. Later that night, Scout finds him lying on his bed, deep in thought. Jem tells Scout that he's scared something bad might happen to Atticus. His concerns are raised further when Atticus departs from his normal routine. After supper one evening, Atticus says he's going out, but instead of walking like he normally does, he's going to drive. Jem knows there must be something wrong, so he leaps out of bed to get dressed. He's going to get to the bottom of things. Scout agrees to accompany Jem on his little adventure—Dill too. When they're all outside Jem openly voices his concerns:

"I’ve just got this feeling," Jem said, "just this feeling."

Jem has every right to be worried; his dark sense of foreboding has proved to be entirely accurate. After a long search, the children eventually track down Atticus; he's sitting outside the jailhouse, his chair propped up against the front door. The atmosphere is tense, thick with drunken menace. As Heck Tate had feared, a mob of boozed-up country men have descended upon the jailhouse to lynch Tom Robinson. Despite Atticus ordering him several times to go home, Jem stands firm; he's not going to see his father get hurt. Yet it's Scout who saves the day by reaching out to Walter Cunningham Sr., the head of the lynch mob, and engaging him in conversation about the legal work that Atticus has done for his family.

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/11/08/us/politics/election-exit-polls.html?smid=pl-share List and explain 5 criteria/responses you found surprising that correlated with Hillary or voting Democratic and explain why. (For example, stereotypically Democrats . . . blah, blah and it shows that blah, blah, blah.) List and explain 5 criteria/responses you found surprising that correlated with Trump or voting Republican and explain why. (For example, stereotypically Republicans . . . blah, blah and it shows that blah, blah, blah or I always thought.)

Here are some responses I found surprising from exit polls related to voting Democrat (I will provide three, and you can think about some of your own):
It is surprising to me that more people who said the economy was the most important issue to them voted Democrat. Traditionally, people who care more about the economy tend to vote for Republicans.
It is also surprising that people who said foreign policy was the most important issue voted Democrat. Generally, people who are concerned about domestic issues vote for Democrats (while those who are more concerned about foreign policy vote Republican), but in this election, people may have thought Hillary had more foreign policy experience.
It is interesting that people who felt trade with other countries benefits the United States tended to vote Democrat. Traditionally, people who vote Democrat are against free trade with other countries (particularly members of unions).
Here are some responses I found surprising from exit polls related to voting Republicans (I will provide three, and you can think about some of your own):
It is interesting that white college graduates voted more for the Republican candidate, as people with more education tend to vote Democrat.
It is also surprising that people who made over $250,000 tended to vote Republican (by a very slight margin of 46% to 48%), as the top income earners have tended to vote Democrat in recent elections.
It is surprising that people who said their family financial situation was worse today tended to vote Republican by a large margin, as people in the past generally looked to Democrats if they were suffering financially.

What would be a stylistic analysis of "The Cloud" by Percy Bysshe Shelley?

It makes most sense to read this poem in iambic feet with each line of tetrameter (four feet) followed by a line of trimeter (three feet). Sometimes the trimeter lines use the trochee instead of the iamb, but that is to fit the rhythm. This causes the poem to have a singsong quality. Consider these first two lines with the stressed syllables in bold: 

I bring fresh showers for the thirsting flowers, 
From the seas and streams; 

This repetition suggests movement rather than redundancy. The singsong rhythm moves the poem along, giving the image of a cloud's fluid transience from one thing to another. 
The cloud discusses all of its functions. The constant movement implies continual change. This is a theme Shelley uses often. The cyclic nature of the cloud's functions suggests impermanence. This, in turn, is a parallel to human life, which is also characterized by continual change. 
Using "I," Shelley personifies the cloud. Since the cloud discusses its own movement and change, the poet personifies change itself. Of course, the use of personification can also be used to suggest a parallel with human lives. Reading "I" as the cloud, the reader could just as easily interpret the poem as a metaphor for human life. As much as "The Cloud" is about change in general, it is perhaps a sentiment of comfort for anyone who might fear change and/or death with lines such as "I pass through the pores of the ocean and shores; / I change, but cannot die."

How does Holden feel about Pheobe?

Phoebe is Holden Caulfield's ten-year-old sister, who is one of the few people Holden relates to and enjoys being around. Phoebe is portrayed as an enthusiastic, imaginative child, who understands her brother in a way that no one else can. Holden values Phoebe's intelligence and company in the novel and goes out of his way to inform her that he will be moving away. Despite Phoebe's age, there are times when she displays maturity and criticizes Holden for his negative outlook on life. One of the main reasons Holden is drawn to Phoebe is her childhood innocence, which is something that Holden desperately attempts to hold onto by refusing to accept the fact that he must enter the competitive world of adults. Phoebe reminds Holden of his childhood and he initially wishes to protect Phoebe from losing her innocence. However, Holden decides that is it best to let Phoebe figure adolescence out for herself, which is symbolically represented by Holden passively watching his little sister grab for the gold ring on the carrousel without interfering. Holden reveals his developing emotions by saying,

I didn’t say anything or do anything. The thing with kids is, if they want to grab the gold ring, you have to let them do it, and not say anything. If they fall off they fall off, but it’s bad if you say anything to them (Salinger, 125).

Overall, Holden loves his younger sister and feels like Phoebe is one of the only people that he can genuinely relate to.
