Answer:“It’s not like I never thought about being mixed race. I guess it was just that, in Brooklyn, everyone was competing to be exotic or surprising. By comparison, I was boring, seriously. Really boring.”
Culture shock knocks city girl Agnes “Nes” Murphy-Pujols off-kilter when she’s transplanted mid–senior year from Brooklyn to a small Southern town after her mother’s relationship with a coworker self-destructs. On top of the move, Nes is nursing a broken heart and severe homesickness, so her plan is simple: keep her head down, graduate and get out. Too bad that flies out the window on day one, when she opens her smart mouth and pits herself against the school’s reigning belle and the principal.
Her rebellious streak attracts the attention of local golden boy Doyle Rahn, who teaches Nes the ropes at Ebenezer. As her friendship with Doyle sizzles into something more, Nes discovers the town she’s learning to like has an insidious undercurrent of racism. The color of her skin was never something she thought about in Brooklyn, but after a frightening traffic stop on an isolated road, Nes starts to see signs everywhere—including at her own high school where, she learns, they hold proms. Two of them. One black, one white.
Nes and Doyle band together with a ragtag team of classmates to plan an alternate prom. But when a lit cross is left burning in Nes’s yard, the alterna-prommers realize that bucking tradition comes at a price. Maybe, though, that makes taking a stand more important than anything.

It’s A as that sentence flows the most
1) definitely library! I know this because of the words “books”, and “librarian” and the way it describes people being annoyed at him for being too noisy.
2) space! Because it includes the word “space ship” and talks about asteroids falling. It also shows a captain taking control!

This is an example of symbolism
Answer:
100 Word Summary
Students often have a difficult time identifying the main idea or the most important parts of a reading selection. The ability to write a summary that includes relevant details and presents them in a logical order is a skill that students should be taught. Summarizing also helps solidify the message and main ideas of a text in a student's mind which improves retention of the information.
Procedure:
Students should read an assigned text and write a 100 word summary of the selection.
Initially, students might be assisted in identifying the most important parts of a text through the use of text marking.
Instruct students to organize their summary in a logical manner and to include
what they are summarizing (title, author, genre)
one general sentence telling what the poem, story, article is about (main idea)
the important details that explain the main idea
Students can share their summaries with a partner so they can also benefit from what their peers interpreted as the main idea.
