Answer:

My dad is a tall man, with emerald green eyes, a square jawline, and a smile that seems to always make any situation seem better.  

I’ve inherited some of that. His emerald green eyes and the height.

Now you might be wondering about my mom. Well, I am, till this date, still wondering about that, too. She died right before I was born in a car crash.  

“You were lucky to be alive,” Dad says. “Or else, I don’t know what would have become of me,” Dad says that my blonde hair and wide eyes come from my mom. He never really talks about her, though. I don’t blame him. It must be hard for him, even up till now. That’s why I try not to bring up the topic too much.

“Bye, Kelly!” Dad called from the kitchen counter.

“Bye, Dad!” I called back, and the minute I stepped outside, I knew that eleventh grade would be tougher than a ninth or tenth grade ever will be. Prom would happen, the nerve-racking SATs, etc.! Most of all, eleventh grade would change me.

I stepped onto the bus and put on my earbuds. Despite putting the music on to the highest volume, I could still hear the boys screaming in the back.

“Hey! Turn it down!” the bus driver yelled, but there was no change.

“Be quiet!” a voice called from the back. Everybody turned their heads to see what all the commotion was about. When we saw who said it, everyone started laughing. I couldn’t help but smile. That girl was Ava Max, the shortest kid in our school.  

Her face turned pale as she put on her earbuds and continued reading.

A few minutes later, the bus pulled up in front of the school.

Home of the Raiders! The titles screamed.  

I stepped into my first class: homeroom. Ok, well technically, it wasn’t really a class, just somewhere you would get your schedules and all, but whatever.

As I got my schedule, I started checking it over. First-class was math.

I stepped out of the homeroom and into Math.

“Take your seats, everyone!” Mrs. Matos, our math teacher, said. She was very charming. She had wide eyes and blonde hair, just like me. Some wrinkles on her face indicated that she was old, but she was exceptionally old.

Before beginning, she glanced over at everyone, her eyes lingering on me for a moment, and started attending.

“All right, do we have Emma Taylor?” A girl whose long blonde hair was pulled back into a tight ponytail raised her hand. It looked like Mrs. Matos was going to say the next name when her face turned sort of confused.

“Um, Kelly Brown?” I raised my hand and she continued with the attendance.

We were given an assignment on angles to work on for the rest of the period, I gave the paper in, and she gave me a C-. I guess they didn’t grade by effort anymore like they did in middle school.  

“Do you, um, have a free period by any chance?” Mrs. Matos shifted in her chair, just as I was about to head out the door. Was she nervous?

“Yeah, right now. Why?”  

“Well, I—I needed some... help. I needed some help in grading papers. Would you like to help me?" I looked around as if asking for help. Right now? I was planning to study! But her large blue eyes made me think otherwise. I plastered on a huge smile on my face and said, "Of course!"

 

“So,” Dad said that night. “How was your second day of being a Junior?”  

“Oh, it was nice,” I said. “Mrs. Matos, my Math teacher, isn't as bad as Ms. Marsh.” I rolled my eyes as Dad laughed. "She was horrible! She barely taught us anything! Thank God eighth grade wasn't the longest school year!" Dad laughed even more and I lightly punched his shoulder.

That night, as I was cleaning the attic, I found a picture of a woman. Her long blonde hair flowed behind her back and her deep, sea-blue eyes reminded me of a quote by William Shakespeare: The eyes are the window to your soul. She reminded me of Mrs. Matos, too, both with the same mammoth eyes and long, stringy hair. I grabbed the picture and hung it above my bed. It looked nice there.

 

At Math class the next day, before heading out to English, Mrs. Matos asked, “So Kelly, do you want to help me grade some papers after school today?”

“I can't,” I said. "I promised to help Dad clean the house tonight."

"My frien," said he at long last, "we don try our best for call dem but I tink say dem all done sleep-o . . . So wetin we go do
docker41 [41]

Answer: "We've tried to help you call for help, but it seems everyone is asleep. What do you want to do now? Would you like to call for soldiers? Want us to call them for you? Soldiers are better than police, right?"

Explanation: To find the better translation of the tief-man's words, we must analyze each sentence of the passage. "we don try our best for call dem but I tink say dem all done sleep-o" means "We've tried to help you call for help, but it seems everyone is asleep", then we have questions: "So wetin we go do now?" "Sometaim you wan call soja?" which mean "What do you want to do now?" "Would you like to call for soldiers?" and the last two sentences: "Or you wan make we call dem for you?" "Soja better pass police. No be so?" which translate to: "Want us to call them for you?" "Soldiers are better than police, right?"

*<br> What are the 5 components of an outline? List them below.
Savatey [412]

Answer:

  • <em>Parallesism</em>
  • <em>Coordination</em>
  • <em>Subordination</em>
  • <em>Division </em>

Explanation:

<h2><em>1. Parallelism</em></h2>

<u>Each heading and subheading should preserve parallel structure. If the first heading is a verb, the second heading should be a verb.</u>

<em>Example:</em>

<em>I. CHOOSE DESIRED COLLEGES</em>

<em>II. PREPARE APPLICATION</em>

<em>("Choose" and "Prepare" are both verbs. The present tense of the verb is usually the preferred</em>

<em>form for an outline.)</em>

<h2><em>2. Coordination</em></h2>

<u>All the information contained in Heading 1 should have the same significance as the information contained in Heading 2. The same goes for the subheadings (which should be less significant than the headings). </u>

<em>Example:</em>

<em>I. VISIT AND EVALUATE COLLEGE CAMPUSES</em>

<em>II. VISIT AND EVALUATE COLLEGE WEBSITES</em>

<em>A. Note important statistics</em>

<em>B. Look for interesting classes</em>

<h2><em>3. Subordination</em></h2>

<u>The information in the headings should be more general, while the information in the subheadings should be more specific. </u>

<em>Example:</em>

<em>I. DESCRIBE AN INFLUENTIAL PERSON IN YOUR LIFE</em>

<em>A. Favorite high school teacher</em>

<em>B. Grandparent</em>

<em>(A favorite teacher and grandparent are specific examples from the generalized category of influential people in your life.)</em>

<h2><em>4. Division</em></h2>

<u>Each heading should be divided into 2 or more parts. </u>

<em>Example:</em>

<em>I. COMPILE RÉ SUMÉ</em>

<em>A. List relevant coursework</em>

<em>B. List work experience</em>

<em>C. List volunteer experience</em>

<em>(The heading "Compile Résumé" is divided into 3 parts.)</em>
