My mom is always repeating the same old joke: if your friends all jumped off a cliff, would you jump, too? Of course not. But I

get what she means. She's talking about peer pressure. Teenagers like us live with it every day. Pretty much every kid wants to be liked, to have friends, to be popular. No one wants people to think they aren't cool. While peer pressure is tough, giving in to it and getting in trouble is tougher.
But teenagers are still learning to make good decisions. Like this one time my friend Harold wanted to take his dad's prized Jeep Grand Cherokee for a drive. Harold was 13, and he'd never driven a car before. But he figured he knew enough about operating a motor vehicle just by watching his parents drive. When his parents were out of town one weekend, Harold invited me and some of our friends over to his house so he could take us for a drive. I said, "Not me," because I knew it was a stupid thing to do. I told him and everybody else what I thought of the idea. (Driving isn't easy. It took my big brother weeks to get the hang of it.) Harold got mad and told me I was being a chicken. I said, "I'd rather be a chicken than get in an accident and have a broken leg."

What is the topic of this passage?

A.
Harold
B.
being popular
C.
peer pressure
D.
learning to driv

PLZZZ need helppp!!!!What effect does the author's sensory description of the beautiful evening at the pier have on the story? W
myrzilka [38]

The sensory effect that the description causes is to make the reader feel and see the night on the pier as if he were present at the place. This has the function of extending the reader's understanding of the story, as he feels that he is part of the narrative.

<h3>What is sensory description?</h3>
  • A description that stimulates the five senses.
  • A description that makes use of imagery.
  • A description that uses many adjectives.

A sensory description is important to make the reader participate in the story. This is because, in addition to the mental images, the reader can feel the elements being described. This makes the reading more immersive, promotes greater reader participation, and makes the understanding of the story more comprehensive.
