Answer:
Henry David Thoreau is known for living in the woods on the shore of Walden Pond, in self-sufficient isolation. Less known, however, is that a year before building his cabin in Concord, Massachusetts, the famous American author and environmentalist accidentally started a forest fire that nearly burned the Concord woods to the ground.Seven years after graduating from Harvard, Henry David Thoreau was drifting through life. Having failed to support himself as a writer, the 26-year-old had bounced from job to job, working as a tutor, a teacher and even as a handyman for poet and fellow Transcendentalist Ralph Waldo Emerson. In 1844, he was working at his father’s pencil-making business.
That year, Thoreau spent the last day of April fishing in his hometown of Concord with his friend Edward Sherman Hoar. After weeks of abnormally dry weather, the Sudbury River was shallower than normal, which eased the task of finding a catch. By mid-morning, the pair had already harvested a bounty of fish, and went ashore to cook a chowder. Using matches borrowed from a shoemaker who lived along the river, the friends lit a fire in a tree stump.
Explanation:
Thoreau had kindled campfires numerous times without incident, but this time strong spring winds whipped the flames, and cascading sparks set ablaze the long, wiry grasses around the stump. Thoreau and Hoar furiously stomped the burning grass and beat the fire with a board they hauled from the boat.
Answer: BE SURE TO SWITCH THE WORDING!! TEACHERS CAN DETECT COPYWRITE.
1. Dally had pulled the kids from the burning church, and Dally had risked his life and risked going to jail in order to keep Pony and Johnny safe. He made a difference by caring for his family.
2. Dally robbed the gas station and was running from the cops, he raised the gun he had, knowing that the cops would think it was loaded. Since he lost Johnny, the only person he really ever cared about, he had no reason to live. Dally wanted to die. I haven't read the book in about 3 years so sorry I couldn't find text evidence just look back in the story (T_T)
3. After Johnny's death and Dally's departure, Ponyboy wanders through the hospital's halls in a daze. Pony is in denial about Johnny's death, and keeps repeating that he isn't dead. He leaves the hospital and roams the streets until a stranger picks him up and drives him home.
Upon arriving home, Pony tells the rest of the gang about Johnny's death and everyone is silent. The phone rings and the call is from Dally. He says that he has just robbed a grocery store and he needs someplace to hideout. The gang members agree to meet at the vacant lot.
Answer:
Option C: The real tree is more detailed and smells fresher than the plastic trees that line the streets.
Explanation:
The entire story talks about the superiority, beauty and realness of the real trees in contrast with the inferiority and artificiality of the plastic trees. So the main theme of the story is summed up in option C, i.e. "The real tree is more detailed and smells fresher than the plastic trees that line the streets."
Option A is not correct because this idea does not run throughout the story; it is mentioned in just one line and is just cause of the disappearance of real trees.
Option B is incorrect because, it is just an incident in the story not a theme or idea of the whole story.
Option D is incorrect because it is part of the setting of the story with no theme in it.

13.The text structure of this paragraph. The main idea of this paragraph is mimic octopus and the facts are it can change it's color also its shape and behavior. It is able to imitate 15 different species and this paragraph is a sequence.
14.He wants to wait because he has been doing school eight hours straight also he needs to clean he's room and take Boomer for a walk. Also, he feels that he is tired because he has been doing school for eight hours straight so that makes him tired so he needs to take a break so later he can do homework and be more focused.
15.I think because most authors come from different childhoods and stuff like that. Also, if they come from different backgrounds the might take a facts different and some sad facts might hurt them a lot because they come from a family or a background that is all full of joy then when they hear something really sad it could hurt them. Authors write very different stories (that might write sad stories cause they had a sad child hood so the take facts and stuff differently) some use the sad events to make a good story. Some authors use happy events. That how I think that different authors might interpret facts in multiple ways.
Hope this helps :)))
