These children are facing threats similar to the forceful conscription of child soldiers by warlords in Sudan or during the civi

l war in Bosnia. Being forced to sell drugs by narcos is no different from being forced into military service.
Read the excerpt from Enrique’s Journey.

The MS gangsters decide to retaliate and throw the gangster off the train. Enrique refuses to participate, creating a rift. "If you are MS, you have to kill 18th Streeters. And if you are 18th Street, you must kill MS. I wasn't like that," Enrique says.

After the fight with his friends, halfway through Chiapas, the gang members stop riding with Enrique. That night, without their protection, the six men beat him on top of the train.

How do Mr. Connolly's and Lily's opinions differ about
Alona [7]

Answer:

Lily is confident that Margaret can ride, but Mr. Connolly  disagrees because she is a girl.

Explanation:

From the given passage from "Demon's Run", we can know from the conversation between the characters that Margaret will be the one <em>"who will race for a claim and then wait for the others"</em>. Mr. Connolly had presumed Benjamin will be the one, but rather, he was told that Margaret will be the runner.

When Mrs. Connolly exclaimed <em>"Margaret?"</em>, we can infer that she was surprised to hear it'll be a girl who'll be the runner. Mr. Connolly's implication that <em>"she can’t go riding out there with all those rough men"</em> implies that he too finds it shocking to hear of a girl racing among the men. With Lily's confident assurance of Margaret being <em>"the better rider"</em>, we can safely say that Lily's confidence in Margaret's ability is different from Mr. Connolly's belief that she can't as she's a girl.

Thus, the correct answer is the second option.

A story that ends with strike while the iron is hot 450 words​
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

To answer this question, you need to find a story that fits with that sentence. For that, you need to give your story a time and place, include characters, and make the story entertaining and make sense.

Explanation:

 Once when I was walking along the beach with my best friend, we came across a lot of people gathered around a man. People were very effusive so we decided to go see what happened.

When we got closer we could see a man who was holding a contest, who was encouraged to eat a live fish, he would win a whole day on a private yacht.

The yacht was in the port and it was really luxurious, it looked like a famous person.

Obviously nobody dared to do it because it was something impressive and something disgusting. And since no one was encouraged, we should try before someone comes along and does it before us.

My friend was very hesitant but I finally convinced her and we did.

We did not know how to start and the truth is that it was very impressive, but in the end it was a lot of fun and everyone applauded us. But the best of all was that we were able to spend the day on that beautiful yacht.

If we hadn't taken a chance before someone else arrived, I couldn't be telling this story today. I owe all this adventure to the saying that my mother always says: strike while the iron is hot.
