Answer: Cassie’s father wants Cassie to think carefully before taking a stand about Lillian Jean
Explanation:
Cassie’s father had a serious talk with Cassie as he wants her to think carefully before taking a stand about Lillian Jean.
This can be deduced from the excerpt when he told her not to get mad but that she should clear her head and think sensibly so as to know whether Lillian Jean is worth taking a stand about or not.
Poverty is a problem that effects many families. While people tend to think of only adults having financial burdens, out there, there are children who put that responsibility in their hands. This leads to them taking jobs and being thrust into the workforce. These jobs average, part-time, or minimum wage—most times they are strenuous and can exploit the child. People should care about the problem that is child labor because it is unethical and unjustified.
Children are normally seen as immature or incapable, so why is this mindset pardoned when it comes to having them exert themselves? It is because it does not matter how old they are only if they are doing the labor. People should not be subject to abuse and forced to work for others. This act has been seen as dirty and immoral for centuries and allowing it for children in today’s world is not right.
Another point to be made here are the conditions the children are forced to work in. There are massive injury rates and the kids are working long hours. With this knowledge, I can infer that the current pandemic is making the problem worse. With no aid, assistance, or adult care kids are left to suffer in silence with a disease among them. This only emphasizes the unsafe work environment. Having all of this in mind, it should encourage those to use their energy create more laws, speak up, and help children who have no energy left.
Answer:
1. Spirited does not belong
All of these words have to do with something that is bad and unpleasant, but spirited means enthusiasm.
2. Indignant does not belong
Indignant is not a word that goes with the others, because it doesn't mean being inventive.
3. Interjection does not belong
Fatigue, exhaustion, and lethargy all have to do with being exhausted. Interjection is the act of interrupting someone, with doesn't have anything to do with exhaustion.
4. Courge does not belong
Courge is a food, while the other words mean a disease.
5. Peevish does not belong
Peevish is the only word of this set that does not belong because it does not mean irritable like the rest of them do.
6. Incoherent does not mean "not decent," like the rest of the words do.
