I think the themes of “Kickoff” are Bullying and Friendship at the same time. Bullying because a girl named Alicia is always trying to be so much better then Tyra but she cant so she gets jealous and hurts her in soccer or gets her friends too trip her. The last time someone tripped her she sprained her ankle and might not be able to play in the game that is only a week and a half away. Also friendship because one of Alicia’s friends named Molly is against all the bullying on Tyra and is Tyra’s only good friend that she can talk to.Tyra really misses her old home in Florida and Molly supports her. Molly is also really interested in how Tyra played soccer in Florida for the Tampa Bay Butterflies.
<span>Squire
With him there was his son, a youthful squire,
A lover and a lusty bachelor,
With locks well curled, as if they'd laid in press.
Some twenty years of age he was, I guess.
In stature he was of an average length,
Wondrously active, aye, and great of strength.
He'd ridden sometime with the cavalry
In Flanders, in Artois, and Picardy,
And borne him well within that little space
In hope to win thereby his lady's grace.
Prinked out he was, as if he were a mead,
All full of fresh-cut flowers white and red.
Singing he was, or fluting, all the day;
He was as fresh as is the month of May.
Short was his gown, with sleeves both long and wide.
Well could be sit on horse, and fairly ride.
He could make songs and words thereto indite,
Joust, and dance too, as well as sketch and write.
So hot he loved that, while night told her tale,
He slept no more than does a nightingale.
Courteous he, and humble, willing and able,
And carved before his father at the table.</span>
If the sentence is <em>They enjoyed a snack and then finished their homework </em>the tense is correct in both parts.You are giving two finished actions in a sequence one after the other, which is correct. You join the two parts by using <em>then,</em> which is also right.What I think could make it better would be to use the personal pronoun <em>they</em> again as in: <em>They enjoyed a snack and then they finished their homework</em>
