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

Explain the difference between action Adnan action verb
Tpy6a [65]
Action words, or action verbs, simply express an action. The action is something you are doing and includes sleeping, thinking, sitting, and napping, even though you are not active. Non action words, or non action verbs, do not refer to an action, but represent a state of being, need, opinion, sense, or preference. Examples are the “be” verbs, like: am, are, was, were, is, has been, and had.

And so Tom awoke; and we rose in the dark
weqwewe [10]

The irony in the last stanza of the poem is:

“Tom is happy despite appalling working conditions, and he is not set free”.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The poem “The Chimney Cleaner”, by William Blake, is a poem that speaks of the dire conditions in which innocent children are made to clean the chimneys of huge and big houses.

In the poem, the last stanza tells about how Tom awakes from a pleasant dream and gets to work without feeling gloom or unhappy about the nature of the work. He rather is feeling happy and calm, even though he has not been set free from the working conditions.

This is the irony that reflects in the stanza; the innocent child’s happiness due to his pleasant dream but the crude reality that he yet lives in.
