3. Chuck really wanted to get the new Game Box 9000, but the system cost $400 and he didn't have any money at all. So, Chuck did

what any motivated teenager would do to earn money: lots and lots of work. He mowed lawns and raked leaves. He did extra chores and dug in the couch cushions for change. He collected and returned cans and bottles. After about a month of working and scrounging harder than he ever had, Chuck earned a little over $200, but the money was not coming quickly enough. Chuck was discussing his problem with one of his friends on the bus when an older kid named Jim overheard him. "Hey, Chucky," Jim said, "my uncle works at the video game store and he can get any video game system for half off. I can help you get your Game Box 9000." Chuck was so excited about getting the new Game Box that he didn't think twice. "Wow, half off? Then I can afford it!" Chuck was excited! The next day. he gave Jim his money. The following day he hoped to receive the Game Box, but Jim didn't bring it. "Yeah, I'm not going to see him until this weekend," Jim replied. Chuck remembered Jim promising him something else, but he was so happy to get such a great deal on the game console that he didn't want to push him. "Ok, great. Next week then." The week passed by very slowly for Chuck. He was so happy to see Jim the next week. He ran up to him with a big smile, but Jim didn't look happy. "Did you get it?" Chuck asked. Jim replied slowly, "Uh, yeah, I was going to get it, but I got robbed. So, your money's gone. I'm sorry." Chuck couldn't believe it. A whole month of saving down the drain. The tears ran down his cheeks.

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Incarceration rates have risen mainly because states are sending a much larger share of offenders to prison and keeping them there longer — two factors under policymakers' direct control. Reforms to reduce prison populations will need to target these two areas.

Answer: Though an international clean-up is needed, the solution is not as simple as cleaning laundry.

Explanation:

A paradox is a statement which might seem absurd at first, but turn out to have certain point. In literature, it is often used to make the reader think about a new idea.

In "Homework", Allen Ginsberg conveys the idea that many countries need a clean-up. In fact, he begins the poem by stating that he wants to wash Iran. The message the author wants to express is that there is a state of political and social unrest, which threatens our environment and nature. However, a clean-up is not a solution to this problem, as the situation is not that simple. Through suggesting an international clean-up, the author calls for his readers to pay attention to this problem, and think of a real-life solution to it.
