Read the excerpt from the interview with E.Y. (Yip) Harburg. The prevailing greeting at that time, on every block you passed, by
pochemuha

Answer: With their hard work, these individuals had invested in their country and they deserved to be suitably rewarded.

In this passage, the author states that the question "Brother, can you spare a dime?" goes beyond a plea from a beggar. In fact, it is a legitimate question we should all be asking ourselves. The reason why the author thinks this is the case is because people who are now beggars had a lot to do with our wealth. He argues that they were soldiers, children, builders, all characters who allowed the country to be what it is now. We have benefitted from their past work and they deserve to be rewarded for their contribution.

Imagine Alice has returned from her journey down the rabbit hole and is retelling the events to her sister. Write a story from A
Reika [66]

Answer and Explanation:

After falling into the rabbit hole I've been going down for so long, so long I can't even tell how many hours it lasted. I wasn't afraid of the fall, but I was very bored because I never got to the end of that fall. When I finally reached the bottom, I found myself in a very weird location. It was a hall with doors, but they were all locked. I found the situation very strange, but I wasn't afraid. I was curious.

There was a table in the middle of the room and on top of it was a key and a bottle. On the bottle it said "drink me" so I drank it. This made me shrink in size quickly. I got tiny and couldn't reach the top of the table to get the key that was there. That's when I saw a muffin on the floor, where there was a sign saying "eat me" so I ate it and started to grow. I was excited because I could get the key, but I started to grow too big. I became giant and couldn't reach the key again.

I felt so sad that I started crying violently. My tears were huge and flooded the entire hall. Can you believe? However, as I cried I started to shrink and I only realized this when I fell into the river that my tears formed. I started swimming and suddenly I was out of the room, even though I didn't open any doors.
