Q2.Make a précis (along with a rough draft) of the following passage in no less than 40 words. Write down the word count for you

r rough draft as well as the précis and give a suitable title to it.
‘‘Edison”, said the General, ‘how much do you want for your “Universal Printer?” This was a very important moment. Edison thought that five thousand dollars would be a suitable price, but he was ready to take three thousand or even less.
Luckily for him he decided that it might be better to leave the matter to the general and asked him what he thought would be the right price. “Would forty thousand dollars suit you?” asked the General.
Edison was so astonished and excited that he almost felt his heart stop beating. At last he said thoughtfully, “yes I think that is fair.” ‘All right,’ said the general, ‘I will have an agreement drawn up; come round in three days and I will give you the money.’ (Word Count 127)

Thesis in the hate u give?​
Nesterboy [21]
Khalil’s shooting and the ongoing investigation of Officer Cruise put the theme of injustice at the forefront of the novel. The fact that Khalil was unarmed and did not threaten the officer makes his murder unjust. The police are unjust at other points, too, such as when they force Maverick to the ground and pat him down. Race is tied into this theme of injustice as well, since pervasive racism prevents African-Americans from obtaining justice. Starr and Maverick in particular are focused on bringing justice not only for Khalil but also for African-Americans and other oppressed groups, such as the poor. The activist group that Starr joins is called Just Us for Justice because it fights against police maltreatment on the basis of race. At the end of the novel, Starr accepts that injustice might continue but reinforces her determination to fight against it.
