Answer:

When Johnny turned fifteen, he inexplicably began an internecine war with his parents. The Smiths asked Johnny how he was able to afford his new laptop computer, and Johnny gave them an apocryphal story about how it had fallen from the back of a truck. Enraged, they confiscated the computer and ordered Johnny to sit and listen.

“When your luck runs out and you end up in prison, it will estrange you from your family and friends, and it will limit your options for the future! Your grades are already suffering, and if you make a criminal record for yourself, you’ll end up having a servile job with long hours and lousy pay while your successful friends enjoy sybaritic lifestyles by comparison. Is that what you want?”

Why do you think Hester comes back? What’s her reasoning?
Anika [276]

Answer:

After Dimmesdale’s death, and the subsequent death of Roger Chillingworth, Pearl and Hester leave Boston and go abroad. After many years, Hester returns alone and lives quietly in the same cottage she had previously occupied. She still wears the scarlet letter, and becomes a kind of wise woman who other townspeople can come to for advice. The narrator explains Hester’s decision to return to New England by stating that “here had been her sin; here, her sorrow; and here was yet to be her penitence.” Although she might have wanted to start a new life, Hester is eventually drawn back to the place that holds memories of her past.

What is an author's tone when they give information about a topic?
Lunna [17]
It depends what they are talking about. 

If they are talking about the bombing of 9/11 then the tone would be serious, sad, mad at the other country for doing what they did. 
But, if they are talking about a major- fun holiday- like Halloween then the tone would happy, excited, energetic! It just depends what the topic the author is talking about!!
Hoped this helped you! :))
