We can change the sentences from direct speech into indirect or reported speech in the following manner:
- I suggested going and playing then.
- He told me to go back home soon because it might rain.
- She said that the movie had been boring.
- They told us that everyone could join them for the picnic.
- John said it was frustrating that the WiFi was so slow that day.
- Chan asked if that wasn't boring to do.
- Mom told Eva it was time she started studying.
- Our teacher said it was important to wake up on time on school days.
<h3>What is direct speech?</h3>
- We have direct speech when we tell others what someone said using that person's exact words. To differentiate between speakers in the sentence, we use quotation marks.
- An example of direct speech is: Tina said, "I don't think we can make it."
<h3>What is indirect speech?</h3>
- We have indirect speech when we use our own words to tell others what someone said. Here, no quotation marks are used. Also, changes are made to the sentence:
- Verb tenses are used in the past form of the original ones.
- Subjects are adapted to show who said what.
- Time expressions also change to the past. For example: today - that day; now - then.
- Let's take the example above again: Tina said, "I <u>don't think we can</u> make it." If we change it into indirect speech, it becomes: Tina said <u>she didn't think they could</u> make it.

I have found this question online and realized that "ice" should actually be "eyes", which makes more sense with the context of the sentence.
Answer:
The entire absolute phrase in the sentence is "eyes glittering with concentration".
Explanation:
After reading it, we realize that "eyes glittering with concentration" refers to the sentence as whole. That is what makes it an absolute phrase - instead of modifying just one noun, it modifies a whole sentence. In this case, we can imagine Jack moving his cursor while his eyes glitter, showing how focused he is.
Absolute phrases' structure include a noun or a pronoun followed by a participial phrase. For example: hands trembling with nervousness. Notice that "eyes glittering with concentration" follows that structure.
Participial phrases consist of a participle and modifiers. For example: running out of energy.
One possible theme of "A Raisin in the Sun" is that people often become frustrated after experiencing injustice.
The story follows the Youngers, an African-American family, in 1950s Chicago. Mr. Younger had died and the family is awaiting a $10,000 inheritance. The family members have different ideas of how to better their financial situation with the money, but the decision was ultimately made by Mama. Mama puts some of the money down on a house and decided to give the rest to Walter to invest in a liquor store as long as he promised to help Beneatha pay for her education to become a doctor.
The problem is that Walter gives the money to his acquaintances, who spend it all. The family becomes upset about the loss of money, so when the neighborhood where Mama bought the house, which happens to be an all white neighborhood, offers money to avoid racial conflict, the family considers it. However, Mama says they cannot accept it essentially because it would solidify the belief that people that are white are better than people that are black. Through these events the family experiences injustice and becomes frustrated with their lack of money and the racism in their society.
