This will give you about 1 ½ cups (350 milliliters) of sugar water. If you need to make more/less sugar water, then use one part water to one part sugar. The high temperature will help dissolve the sugar water faster.  Be sure to stir often to help the sugar dissolve. As soon as the water begins to boil, reduce the heat and bring the water to a simmer. It will take about three minutes for the sugar to dissolve. Set it down onto a heat-resistant surface and let the mixture return to room temperature. Place a funnel into the neck of a glass bottle, and carefully pour the sugar water into the bottle. If you cannot find a bottle, you can use a glass jar. Put the cap on the bottle and close it tightly. Use it within one month. You can use sugar water to make lemonade or cocktails.

summary: Fill a pot with 1 cup (240 milliliters) and 1 cup (200 grams) sugar. Set the pot on the stove and boil the water. Reduce the water to a simmer and wait until the sugar dissolves. Take the pot off the stove and let it cool. Transfer the mixture to a bottle. Store the sugar water in the refrigerator.

Try to read through your essay as if you had never read the text you're analyzing. Can you follow the argument with just the assertions, evidence, and analysis you've provided? If you can't, try going back through and filling in any blanks. You can also ask a friend to read through it to see if they can follow it. " When you're first writing a literary essay, you may be timid about your analysis. Most everyone is! However, when you present your argument, leave out these phrases. It weakens your argument, and signals to the reader you're not confident in what you're doing. Watch for any mistakes your spellcheck catches, but you should also check it yourself. Reading it out loud helps you slow down and catch more mistakes in the text. For instance, you may notice words that are wrong or places where the sentence structure sounds a little funky. It always helps to have another set of eyes when proofreading. Ask a friend, parent, or classmate to go over your essay to see if they catch any grammatical mistakes.

summary: Make sure your argument makes sense from beginning to end. Take out phrases like "I think" or "In my opinion. Proofread your essay by reading it out loud. Let someone else proofread it.


Summarize the following:
The beard of an adult male turkey is longer than that of an immature male. Typically, immature male turkeys have beards measuring 6 inches (15 cm) or shorter. At the age of 2, most turkeys will have a beard between 9 and 10 inches (23 and 25 cm). Turkeys with beard beyond 10 inches (25 cm) are usually older than 3 years, but most beards do not exceed 11 inches (28 cm). The white striping that decorates the rest of each feather should extend all the way to the tip of the feather if the turkey is an adult male. Juvenile males have undecorated wing feather tips. The tip of an adult feather is usually rounded, too, but juvenile feathers are more pointed. For best results, spread the wing out until it is in a fully fanned position and check the outermost feather. The coloration and shape of the other wing feathers can change at different paces, so the outermost wing feather will give you the most accurate results. Fan out the tail feathers of the turkey or wait for it to do it naturally. The central tail feathers of an immature male are longer than the rest, but all tail feathers arch evenly on an adult male. Note that adult tail feathers are usually 12 to 15 inches (30.5 and 38 cm) long, while juvenile tail feathers are usually shorter. The exact length of juvenile tail feathers will vary depending on the exact age and overall growth of the bird, though. All juvenile turkeys have buff-tipped feathers on the lower third of the breast, regardless of their sex. Knowing that the turkey is a juvenile will allow you to use other factors to sex the bird. Note that juvenile breast feathers also tend to be more slender, and the tips are generally rounded. Adult breast feathers have squared tips. Both juvenile and adult male turkeys have leg spurs, but the spurs on a young male will look more like stubs since they are still developing. Immature males will have spurs that are less than 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) long.  After the age of 2, adult males spurs can range between 1/2 and 1 inch (1.25 and 2.5 cm). Male turkeys over the age of 4 can have spurs measuring almost 2 inch (2.5 cm) or longer in very rare cases.
summary: Measure the turkey's beard. Inspect the tips of the wing feathers. Check the spread of that tail feathers. Take a look at the breast feathers. Examine any spurs on the turkey's legs.
