Based on this detail, Piggy can be described as whiny.
His whininess is just one of the reasons that the boys neither respect nor listen to Piggy. HE complains the boys are acting like children, which, of course, they are. His whininess contributes to Piggy being an outsider, along with his glasses, weight, and asthma.
I believe the answer is C. Robin liked to combine old ideas with new ones. It never says her grandmother liked to write letters with her, it doesn't say that her grandmother gave her stationary, and she wrote her letters by hand.
The most appropriate thesis sentence would be: "As we got older our lives went in different directions, but we still keep up on social media" (D).
In a good thesis sentence, your reader should:
- identify a key question or idea,
- be able to understand how you are going to develop this idea in the paper,
- and be given a hint of what your conclusion will be.
This sentence (D) is raising a key question: how did the friendship evolve as you got older? It is also providing a direction regarding the way you are going to approach the development (chronologically). Finally, it mentions the conclusion, or the answer to the question, in a few words: "we still keep up on social media."
