Answer:

E.g. I will meet him at 2pm. ** ** = the time stated is very exact or specific**.**

E.g. I will meet you at the library. = the exact place you will meet.

You can also use at to describe where two lines cross or intersect such as two roads that cross or a corner.

E.g. I will meet you at highway 1. and Corfield St. = where these two roads cross each other.

E.g. Meet me at the corner of Corfied road and Murray St.= where these two streets connect or join at a corner.

We can also use in to talk about time and place.

E.g. I will see him in January.

E.g. I will see him in the new year .(or in 2018).

E.g. Put the piano in the corner. = used to show a specific location within a house.

E.g. Please meet me in the library. = in refers to inside the library and at generally refers to meeting outside at the entrance (although English speakers can use both to mean the inside).

As you can see, some of these functions are logical while others have to be committed to memory. These are only a few uses and examples.

Also remember that some prepositions form part of a phrasal verb structure and don't function on their own and this confuses learners.

E.g. Please drop in when you have time. drop in = please visit

Overall, how does the author depict childhood? Cite any symbols, images, or words that contribute to this depiction.
Alex

Answer:

It was approaching 3 pm, and I went to the first (but probably the worst) person near me. Kaleb Danner. Kaleb is the type of kid everyone knows for good and bad reasons. He used to be a model kid, good grades, extremely polite, and always put others before himself on every occasion. Sadly, due to his parental neglect, he began to sink into the deep dark abyss of living out this "hood mentality." I still love him as a brother because of his invaluable advice of navigating almost every aspect of high school even though we were the same age.
