Answer:

The Red Umbrella is the moving tale of a 14-year-old girl's journey from Cuba to America as part of Operation Pedro Pan—an organized exodus of more than 14,000 unaccompanied children, whose parents sent them away to escape Fidel Castro's revolution.

In 1961, two years after the Communist revolution, Lucía Álvarez still leads a carefree life, dreaming of parties and her first crush. But when the soldiers come to her sleepy Cuban town, everything begins to change. Freedoms are stripped away. Neighbors disappear. Her friends feel like strangers. And her family is being watched.

As the revolution's impact becomes more oppressive, Lucía's parents make the heart-wrenching decision to send her and her little brother to the United States—on their own.

Suddenly plunked down in Nebraska with well-meaning strangers, Lucía struggles to adapt to a new country, a new language, a new way of life. But what of her old life? Will she ever see her home or her parents again? And if she does, will she still be the same girl?

The Red Umbrella is a moving story of country, culture, family, and the true meaning of home.

On page 76, Ponyboy states, “Of all of us, Dally was the one I liked least.” What explanation does Ponyboy give to support this
BabaBlast [244]

Ponyboy only hangs out with Dally because he is so close to Johnny. Johnny idolizes Dally, and Dally treats him like his little brother. Dally also has a record which he is very proud of (>w< lol) Pony knew he treated wahmin (women) badly and didn't care about anyone but himself. I could keep going but I hope this could be enough.

Write an argument for the issue: Driverless cars are becoming a thing of the future. They are considered smarter, safer, and mor
DedPeter [7]
Whether or not you agree or disagree, I do not know. But I will give you my opinion and if you need me to come up with another paragraph, just ask.

Mankind has come a very far way with technology development, so far in fact, driverless cars are beginning to come about. But whether this new form of transport is safe for us or not: that is the question. From my point of view, driverless cars may look and seem safe from the outside, but as that popular saying goes: "Don't judge a book by its cover.". I have to disagree with this new form of technology, mostly due to the fact that it is a huge advancement from the cars that we have to steer ourselves. Simply putting in your destination for the car to take you there does not seem very safe at all, or even trustworthy for that matter. What if some controls that cause the car to steer itself just so happen to malfunction? What if it takes you to a completely different destination than the one you were originally going to? What if you had to get to that specific destination at a certain time? You could get in trouble if you were late to such an event, or even your job. Plus, you need to consider the fact that this driverless car needs to know its surroundings at all times. What if it just so happens to go through a red light, and cause a car accident? What if it doesn't recognize the pedestrian jaywalking across the street, and hits him? What if you're driving on the highway, and the car goes over the speed limit? A police officer could catch that and pull you over, y'know. You need to make sure at all times that there is nothing wrong with your driverless car, especially if it has something to do with recognizing its surroundings, because it could just cause an accident at any moment, and you would be put to blame for it. My final point is that considering the fact that driverless cars are a huge technology development, they will cost a hefty price. If someone is considering buying one of these vehicles, they would have to consider the pros and cons of buying one, and whether it is really worth it or not. And having to get something repaired on it could also come at a big price, especially if one of the main features of the car is broken. To conclude my opinion, I believe that driverless cars may not be so safe, smart, and reliable as they may look from the outside. The manufacturers will have to run many experiments on them and to make sure the car itself and all of its features work properly before putting it out on the market. So, let's stick with the cars we can control ourselves for now until mankind is certain that they will have the capability of owning driverless cars.

I hope this helps you! (And I hope it's not too long, either... I'm known for getting carried away with writing! xD)
