Answer:

This story revolves around two step brothers and their mother. One of the brother Alexis lives with his father and other brother is Aaron who lives with his mother. Both of the brothers have never seen each other.

Alexis returns to meet his mother since his father is going to India for some religious matters. When Alexis reaches the airport he meets his step brother Aaron for the first time.

During their journey from airport to home Alexis shows off his seventeen scars to Aaron and tells a story for each scar. Aaron is not interested in these stories and does not believes in the stories narrated by Alexis.

Alexis has a habit of using abusive language but his mother interrupts and forbade him to use these type of words but he continues using this language without letting his mother know as he then speaks in lower tone so that his mother doesn't notices his abusive language.

They stop their car at Burger King for dinner but Alexis does not eat anything except for fries since he is vegan. When they return to car due to some issue his mother starts crying and worrying about the problem but Alexis helps his mother in fixing the issue.

Why should deforestation end
lbvjy [14]

answer:

over the past few years, we’ve gained significant ground in getting major companies to move toward forest-friendly business models. u might think that means deforestation is beginning to be a thing of the past.

we want it to be. unfortunately, threats to forests are only increasing. just last year, the rate of deforestation in the brazilian amazon rose for the first time since 2008.

deforestation is not just an environmental issue. it’s an everything issue. here are six reasons u can tell.

♡ forest loss is not decreasing.

♡ forests are home to 200 million people.

♡ biodiversity.

♡ climate change is in part caused by forest loss which is in part caused

♡ by climate change which is in part caused by forest loss.

♡ forests represent a site of the widening gap between the                      wealthy and poor.

who would write me a short story about bullying but it must not have a boy in it and it must be clear and it must have character
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

There was a loud thud followed by a short sob. All the kids, including Lillian, looked down the hall to see what caused the commotion. There, on the floor trying to find her retainer case, was Julie. And standing in front of her, with her head held high, was Nicole. Nicole was gorgeous; long legs, shiny perfect  hair, and eyes that made teachers believe that she was an innocent angel.

But Nicole sure didn't look like an angel at the moment. Her eyes were blazing, her fists clenched, and her was mouth was moving.

It was never a good thing when Nicole was talking. She usually said sweet compliments to teachers, but when it came to students, her true colors came out. Just like right now.

"- just because you moved from some fancy rich school that would make you better than us?" Nicole was shouting at Julie, who was sobbing and shaking her head quickly. "You think that you're better than me?" Again Julie shook her head. Nicole glared at her and said a few choice words that weren't allowed at school.

Then, before anyone could register what was happening, she raised her hand and slapped Julie across the face.

"Nicole! Stop! You're gonna get suspended!" Nicole's best friend, Azzie, came running toward her. Nicole raised her arm again, but Azzie grabbed it, making Nicole stop. "Let's go. You're causing a scene again." Nicole looked at Azzie, then not waiting for her, stormed off. Azzie looked around at the crowd of students then hurried after her friend.

Everyone else looked at Julie who was still sitting on the floor. The, bit by bit the turned and went their own way. Everyone except Lillian. Lillian stared at Julie for a few moments and took a hesitant step toward her.

Then, before Julie could look up, Lillian turned on her heel and scurried off.

Two days later Nicole was suspended for three days and Julie sat with Lillian at lunch for the rest of the year.
