Cody liked the freedom that came with his first summer job. He worked at Mitchell's Farm, where people could come and pick their

own corn, berries, and tomatoes out in the fields. Then they'd bring their produce to the checkout stand, where Cody would weigh it and charge the appropriate price. Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell were usually busy somewhere else, so Cody was trusted to manage the stand by himself.
For the most part, Cody enforced the Mitchells' rules. When someone asked for a discount or a sample, Cody said no. But he did sometimes bend the rules for friends, much to their delight.
"Go ahead, taste a few berries before I weigh 'em," he'd say when it was someone he knew. It was against the rules to eat something before you bought it, but everyone wanted to.
One day, a man came to the stand with a bushel of corn he had picked. Cody weighed the ears of corn and told the man how much it cost. The man looked confused.
"But I was here yesterday, and you told someone that for every five ears you buy, you get one free," he said.
Cody remembered. He had indeed offered that deal to the Thomases, who happened to be his neighbors. Now he regretted it. He saw Mrs. Mitchell baling hay close by. How was Cody going to explain that he had given a deal to those he knew while he made everyone else pay full price?
The man saw that Cody was looking at Mrs. Mitchell. "Is that the owner? May I speak to her?" he asked.
Cody thought about offering the man the same discount, but there were people in line behind him, and they were carrying corn, too. Cory hung his head and walked over to see Mrs. Mitchell.
Whats the theme?
1. people should mind there own business
2. You should appreciate the people you work for

answer:

3. rules should be fairly applied

explanation:

  • first, not sure about the answer

but i think this because:

  • at the end, he realized what he had done wrong by not being FAIR
  • therefore, the theme should be related to that
  • the other options do not make sense as they don't relate to the story

irina [24]

Answer:

By looking at Paris's and Lord Capulet's expression of grief, I have found that their expressions were sincere and heartfelt.

Explanation:

  • In Romeo and Juliet's scene V, Paris used the words "beguiled, divorced,  wronged, spited and slain." All of these words show that death of Juliet has made him angry and distress.
  • Capulet says, "alack, my child is dead and with my child my joys are buried." These words show that he is sad because his child is dead.
