Class started and I was already tired. Mrs.Rube said we needed pair up with our buddies from our last project. This was going to be a problem. My last partner, Gavin, was not the best at academics. But I was. He was good @ the most useless things. Like art and technology. These useless talents and his joke making really got on my nerves.The project included doing some research and analysis and... art. But I decided that I was just gonna do the project by myself. With a little bit of his help maybe. Eventually I got so caught up and covered in work I got too overwhelmed. I explained this to Mrs.Rube and she reminded me that I need to let Gavin help and my life will be a lot easier. She was right. Eventually in the end we finished our project and it looked great and our grade was even better. All in all if you can get help, take it when you can because two heads are better than one.
Answer:
The excerpt reveals that Kenneth wants to control the situation.
Explanation:
Based on the excerpt above, we can see that Kenneth's tone was composed compared to the emotional tone of Xavier. The passage also tells us how Xavier was alarmed but he only talks for a short period. Xavier becomes furious because of the incident that happened (XAVIER (Alarmed): You told? You promised me you wouldn’t. Oh, man, this could be disastrous) but Kenneth had to calm him down by saying (I waited until Ms. Wilmore went to help somebody, then I sneaked the book off the shelf and copied the thing). Kenneth wants to control the situation because he is the one that sneaked the book off the shelf and copied the thing.
Well I see it as an A for effort. But in in all fairness if you lost the game you shouldn't really be a sore loser because of it. In football games the people keeping score don't give the points the other team that lost because "they tried". I was on the cheerleading team and the other girls won nationals but I thought it was unfair because we all really tried our hardest and the thought we should get extra points. But I know that's totally ridiculous now.
