Answer and Explanation:
August 23
I have just returned from the National Park (name of the park, if you wish to add it). Who would have thought what was meant to be a calm morning out hiking could turn out this way? Frightening, yet inspiring.
A tiger was lurking in the shadows, beneath the tall trees, so leafy the sun could only shine through when their branches moved with the wind. There I stood, face to face with it. It did not seem to appreciate my presence there. While it saw me as a disturbance, I saw it as a threat. My body froze, but my heart did not. I has never beat so fast, so astonishingly rapidly. I bet the tiger could hear it, could sense it. The beating seemed loud even to my human, incapable ears.
The tiger began to walk toward me, slowly and heavily, its paws treading the dirt with a sort of decisiveness only a predator could possess. I readied myself to run, knowing it would be the shortest race of my life. There was no way I could escape it... unless there was. In the distance, something sounded. A gun? Thunder? I don't know. Whatever it was, it saved my life, for the tiger thought better to run away. It wanted to avoid whatever had caused the sound, whereas I wanted to thank it.
I'm lying in bed while I write this... hands still trembling. Still, my bed has never felt so comfortable. The shaky movement of my hands is nothing but a sign that I'm still alive.
NOTE: I got a bit carried away while writing. This has more than 80 words, so feel free to edit it.
The conflict in this was whose life to be saved and in both the situations, mother decided to save the life of her child.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The lead is written by Louise Erdrich. This is about how thankful and grateful the narrator is to her mother for the life that she has given to the narrator.
The conflict in this is the choice to be made on whose life has to be saved which comes twice in the lesson. First it comes when the mother of the narrator is pregnant but still is working with her father in a circus, an accident occurred where she saved her child and not the father. Next time it occurred when their house was on fire and she decided again to save her child's life over her.
The correct option is D.
The statement in option D reveals that the youthfulness which the four old people gained was very momentarily, it soon passed away and they were back to square one.
The sentence that is incorrectly punctuated is option B.
"Help me shovel the driveway please?"
The correct punctuation here is: "Help me shovel the driveway, please.
This is a request, so we use a comma before the word "please", that is used to make the request polite, not a demand or an order. The period is used at the end because the person is not making a question, but making a request.
