Read the excerpt from the story “David’s Haircut” by Ken Elkes and answer the question below. When it is David’s turn for a cut,

Mr Samuels places a wooden board covered with a piece of oxblood red leather across the arms of the chair, so that the barber doesn’t have to stoop to cut the boy’s hair. David scrambles up onto the bench. . . . David feels like he is in another world, noiseless except for the scuffing of the barber’s shoes on the lino and the snap of his scissors. In the reflection from the window he could see through the window, a few small clouds moved slowly through the frame, moving to the sound of the scissors’ click. Sleepily, his eyes dropping to the front of the cape where his hair falls with the same softness as snow and he imagines sitting in the chair just like the men and older boys, the special bench left leaning against the wall in the corner. When reading a story, word choice and connotative meaning help to clarify the narrator’s tone, which can help us understand the author’s message. Carefully examine the words and phrases the narrator uses to describe David’s experience at the barber shop. Based on your examination, select the answer that BEST reflects the author’s message in “David’s Haircut.”
A. Childhood is often a scary and confusing time.
B. The barbershop can be a place of conversation and community.
C. Little boys often dream of growing up to be big and strong.
D. Children are often dreamy and scatterbrained.

I look at the world
FrozenT [24]

The line of the poem that shows how the speaker wants to change the world is "That all these walls oppression builds / Will have to go!" (Lines 9-10), as shown in option C.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • The speaker shows how the walls are making him uncomfortable.
  • This oppresses him and it is an oppression that increases upon him with great influence.
  • He realizes that this is not a bad thing and that something must be done to change this situation.
  • For that reason, he decides to get up and go to where he can change that situation.

In this case, we can see that the speaker believes that to change the situation in the world, he needs to get up and do something and not wait for someone to solve it.

<h2>Bullying!!!</h2>

When someone was bullying me I felt like I'm not important and I started hating my self because they always bullied me on my looks and my hair and the words they say really hurt my feelings because they might feel like they are not doing nothing to you but deep down they know the pain and how it feels like to get bullied but they still continue on what they do. My feeling are hurt when I'm getting bullied and when other people are getting but it just pain to see them get bullied but your just standing there worrying about how they will treat you after you stand up to the person. Bullying is just something you should take like a joke because it can lead to major depression, suicide ,and shooting up schools so if I were you I would stop bullying now. (I was bullied and I had depression and to this day I still do because I'm still getting bully).If this is true to you.
