Maurice watched his grandfather typing furiously on a typewriter and mumbling to himself. He couldn't resist sneaking behind him

and breaking his concentration.
"Hey, Grandpa, what are you working on today?" Maurice asked.

"Oh, nothing special. Go watch that little TV you carry in your pocket."

"It's a cell phone, Gramps," Maurice said with a laugh.

"Whatever you call it. You can go back to it and not bother with me." His grandfather tried to wave him off, but Maurice pulled up a chair and sat next to him.

"Come on, Gramps, let me have a peek. I promise, I won't disturb you." Maurice bent over to read the letters on the sheet of paper coming from the typewriter. The machine always puzzled him. He knew what it did, but he couldn’t understand why his grandfather stuck to this old thing instead of using a computer.

Maurice spoke up after a few minutes. "Gramps, you know this will be a lot easier to type if you use my laptop. You don’t have to worry about making any errors, and you don’t have to put in another paper every time you reach the bottom of the page. And no more of those messy black ribbons, either."

"That's the problem with you kids. You want everything the easy way," his grandfather replied, shrugging off the boy's questions.

Read the excerpt from the story Westward Adventures:
guajiro [1.7K]

The detail from the story that contributes to the development of Beth's character is: "Sally could see her lip quivering and the tears filling her eyes." (Option C).

<h3>What is character development?</h3>

Character development is the art of imbuing a character with personality, complexity, and motivations that move them forward in a story.

Character design may also be defined as how a character changes over the course of a story.

Hence is is correct to state that The detail from the story that contributes to the development of Beth's character is: "Sally could see her lip quivering and the tears filling her eyes.

This is confirmed in the next paragraph which indicates that both characters have both missed their father but Beth seems to have missed him the most and was trying to be brave.

Should children have the same privacy rights as adults?
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

in my opinion, there should be rules set for privacy in homes between children and parents. the parents are older and have more authority over the children so maybe they will request more privacy but parents shouldn't invade children's privacy.
