Answer:

accepting disappointment

Explanation:

Maureen Daly’s short story <em>Sixteen </em>tells the even in the young girl’s life and how she fell in love. The author writes in the first person and describes how the girl met the boy on the skating ring, liked him really much, and how he told her he’ll call her when they parted.

Yet, at the end of the story, we learned that the boy never called her back. After a few days of waiting, the narrator tells us she doesn’t jump at the sound of the phone anymore. Finally, <u>she realizes the boy won’t ever actually call her and ends the story with acceptance of this realization. </u>

<u>It wraps up with the idea that things in life don’t always end up how we want and that we must understand that disappointment is a part of life</u><u>. This important lesson is part of growing up. Therefore,</u><u> the concluding theme of </u><em><u>Sixteen </u></em><u>is accepting disappointment. </u>

Explanation:

Jasmine saw a frog in the road. This does not use descriptive language, because the author does not specifically state anything about Jasmine, the frog, or even the road.

She suspiciously eyed the fluffy white poodle that was decorated with fluorescent pink bows. This does use descriptive language, because of how detailed the information is.

The sky was a dull and murky gray. Descriptive language was also used in the sentence, because the sky is so specifically described.

The boy watched his brother play on the swing set. Not specifically described, so no descriptive language is used.

The speaker in "If" says that those who follow the advice offered in the poem will become _____. Fill in the blank and explain y
lord [1]

The correct answer is "a Man". Kipling ends his poem with the line "And—which is more—you'll be a Man, my son!" This indicates that Kipling is addressing his poem to youths who are not yet adults (or even immature adults). The speaker is a father-figure that intends to counsel his son about becoming an adult. The first stanza is about knowing oneself. The second is about knowing that we not always get what we want. The thirs is about being brave. The third is about knowing one's place in the world.
