Answer:

Louise Carpenter was gripping a desk, her knuckles white.

Explanation:

The question above is related to the story entitled, "Object Lesson," which was written by Ellery Queen (a pseudonym).

The story centers on the character of Ellery, as he was called by Miss Carpenter to have a speech in class regarding "Notorious Criminals I Have Known." This came about when Miss Carpenter knew that three of his students in class were responsible for a juvenile crime she witnessed. However, on the day of the speech, Miss Carpenter noticed that someone stole her $7 inside her envelop.

As Ellery was searching the different places where the suspect might have placed the $7, "Louise Carpenter was gripping a desk, her knuckles white." This causes uncertainty on the reader because it doesn't give a clear sign whether the money will be found or not.

Louise Carpenter's action shows that she is "anticipating to be let down." This means that she, somehow, figured out that Ellery won't be able to find the suspect and money because they only have a few minutes left (4 and 1/2 minutes, to be exact).

Please help a speech about whether students should be part of the council or not

Anarel [89]

Answer:

I believe students should participate in the school council.

Explanation:

Sometimes, problems can occur in school or we might want to include activities or resources that will help other students. It's a great idea to let the students themselves give new opportunities to the school. We should let the students themselves give feedback and growth to the school! Teachers might not understand what the students would want best. Overall, letting students join the council would improve the school. The imagination and brilliance of all students who attend this school is sure to make this school a better place. What do we have to lose?
