"I don't know, I don't know," Becky wailed, resting her head on the steering wheel. "I just get so tired of failing." Listening

quietly as Becky sobbed, Justin realized this was about much more than a driving test. He also knew if he didn't find a way to help Becky things would just get worse. Chapter 2 Justin took a deep breath and collected his thoughts. Becky was an unbelievably consistent straight-A student. It was Justin who got the bad grades in school, and Justin who had to repeat every math class he'd ever taken. It was Justin who wished he could get the grades Becky got. Some things came easier for Justin: He was athletic, handy with tools, and good at making the best of whatever life threw at him. Mom called him her "lemons into lemonade" kid. But for the most part, Becky succeeded easily, whereas Justin had to work and work to just get a passing grade. Rather than having Becky catalogue all the things she supposedly "failed" at, Justin decided to try an alternative approach, one that wouldn't remind him of all the ways he had failed. "Okay, Becky, let's assume for a moment you fail this test again. What is the worst thing that could happen?" he asked. "I would be the oldest kid at school without a license and be humiliated," she replied. Justin thought he heard a bit of panic in her voice but continued with his plan. "Yes, but won't we still have to drive to school together for at least one more year anyway?" he asked. "Yes, but..." she started. "And who will know, if you don't tell anyone except your friends, that you don't have your license? You know Mom can't afford another car just for you, right?" "Yes," she said quietly. "So what difference does it make, really," he said. "Another three months to wait in the grand scheme of your life doesn't seem like all that long, right?" "I suppose not," she said. Justin could tell she was breathing more slowly now. "Besides," he said, "I would miss all the practice driving with you," and for good measure he reached over and pinched her arm. "Ow," she said, hitting back at him, "that hurt." "So let's go do this, okay? "Okay," she said. Becky cranked up the car, backed slowly out of the parking spot and drove up to the parking lot's exit. Justin noticed, as they waited for the traffic to clear, that she had remembered the turn signal. Read the line below from Chapter 1: "I don't know, I don't know," Becky wailed, resting her head on the steering wheel. "I just get so tired of failing." In the rest of the story, readers learn that Becky's fears are about things other than. explain how the the story devolops those fears

Normally, when people say "Im just tired at failing", its a fear of disappointment. When someone is disappointed, you get the fear of punishment. It's almost like a chain reaction of fears.

Varvara68 [4.7K]
That depends on the college she is going, who is giving the scholarship and the reason why she is leaving. Scholarships, have nothing to do with when you use it... usually. For example, if the person/company/association giving the scholarship said they would give her the scholarship for her las year of college they have to give it to her for that last year doesn't matter if it took one more year to get to that last one or if she got promoted one year above the one she was supposed to be they have to give it to her one year earlier, but it has to be the last year. 

So no, it doesn't matter if she takes a year off, she still has her scholarship she just needs a document that says she is taking a year off and why and turn it in to whoever is giving the scholarship.

Would vegetation and home be neutral denotation or positive connotation
Xelga [282]

The word <em>vegetation </em>has a neutral denotation, while the term <em>home </em>has a positive connotation.

Denotation is the concrete or main meaning of a word, in opposition to the thoughts or feelings that the word suggests. In this case, <em>vegetation </em>is a collection of plants in a particular area.

Connotation refers to the emotions and ideas that a word brings to mind, besides its literal meaning. For example, <em>home </em>is the place where one lives permanently, and implies a sense of protection, good feeling and family.
