Kevin's earthly father may not be living the standards that his Heavenly Father has put forth.  

He should feel secure in the teachings of this bible, and if his priest is following those teachings, and if Kevin is following those teachings, then Kevin is pleasing his Heavenly Father.  

It is never easy, but ultimately, our Heavenly Father is the way and the light.

The word father in the story has two meanings. First, it implies the love and protection of his biological father. Kevin’s father is a cheerful man who is always willing to help his son and provides a warm and loving home. Kevin’s teacher, on the other hand, is a cold man who ridicules Kevin. The author uses these two “fathers” to develop the theme of fatherly love in the story. Father Waldo represents discipline, restrictions, and strict social hierarchy. At school Kevin is encouraged to be ashamed of his father because of his lack of education and job as a barman. Ironically it’s his father and family who encourage him to value his education:

“We never got the chance,” his mother would say to him. “It wouldn’t have done me much good but your father could have bettered himself. He’d be teaching or something now instead of serving behind a bar. He could stand up with the best of them.”

Thus the author is setting up a choice for Kevin to make. He can choose to reject his roots and embrace the social order of the school or cling to his place as a member of the family. Kevin makes his choice in the end, when he lies to his father to protect him from the shame of not having the correct answers.

Oh you can use a writing strategy that I use. I use RACE the R stands for restate. So restate the question you are given. A stands for answer, so you answer the question, but you can’t be specific. C stands for cite from the text. You use context clues to look for the answer and use that in you paragraph EX: In the text it says,”_____________________” and your done with C. E stands for explain. You explain why your answer can support many ideas and it starts with This shows,”___” so ya hope this can help!

Rewrite the following passage, correcting any problems in subject/verb/antecedent agreement.
irina [24]

I think it is:

Sarah opened her drawer took out the new stationary set. Now that she has finished her chores, she can spend some time writing a letter to her friend Cade. Cade had just moved to a new city a few months ago, but Sarah felt as if he had been gone for a year. Fortunately, they both love writing letters. They even put their own creative touch, a sketch, at the bottom of each letter. They were determined that their friendship would last even if they were far away from each other.

Something like that. I hope this helps.
