It says my answer needs to be more then 20 letters long but ima guess and say "love"
The correct answer is going on a first date.
This Gary Soto’s poem, <em>Oranges</em>, describes the feelings of a boy going on a first date, most probably, for the first time in his life. That is the reason why we can say that the poem depicts a rite of passage, because this was a significant turning point in his life.
The first date is described as the first time he walked with a girl. He picks her up. She is wearing make-up. The physical contact between them is shy and gentle and he leds her down the street. He invites her a chocolate bar and the poet keeps on describing his thoughts an feelings to vividly recreate that passage from being a naive boy to a hormonal teenager.
The march signifies the people's revolt against police violence against African Americans. It means a lot to Quinn, Rashad, and Spoony because they are African Americans.
Similarly, this matters to the other characters because they feel they might be the next victims.
Protests are effective in expressing a cause, as they present a group of people rejecting the same social element that causes negative situations for them. This popular pressure can institute changes, especially in democratic governments.
<h3>What is a democratic government?</h3>
- It is a political system where the population has supreme power.
- It is a political system where the government must comply with the will of the people.
Therefore, protests such as the one Quinn, Rashad, and Spoony participated, in must be capable of provoking social change, as they show how a part of the people, which has all political power, is being harmed by negligence, racism, and intolerance.

Answer:
Short story on Mohini, a new girl in school.
Explanation:
NEVER JUDGE A PERSON OUTWARDLY.
It was Mohini’s first day at the new school. Feeling so nervous, she stood in a corner and watched the students who were laughing and talking excitedly. When she saw four senior students advancing towards her, she was reminded of the girl groups she had seen in movies, the ones who act all so chic and proud, bullying those they deem inferior. This realization made her even more nervous and so, she tried to hide as much as she could.
When the quartet arrived at her location, she refused to not make any eye contact with them. But as expected, they immediately noticed her and approached her, eyeing her from top to bottom and then up again. When she was asked to introduce herself, she felt so nervous she couldn't even speak properly. Her whole body was tensed, and she didn't even realize that a small circle had formed around her, with students who seem to be waiting for a major showdown.
But the 'leader' of the quartet opened her mouth and began talking in a calm manner which surprised Mohini. She hadn't expected that. The girls introduced themselves as the school's representatives for bullying. That shocked her, the irony! She had expected them to do the act of bullying while in reality, they are fighting against the atrocious act. From that day on, Mohini realized it is never a good thing to judge someone based on outside appearance.
