But, as Grover Cleveland said: "He is no true fisherman who is willing to fish only when fish are biting." The real angler will

sit all day in a boat in a pouring rain, eagerly watching the point of the rod, which never for an instant swerves a half inch from the horizontal. The real angler will troll for miles with a hand line and a spinner, winding in the thirty-five dripping feet of the lure every ten minutes, to remove a weed, or "to see if she's still a-spinning." Vainly he hopes for the muskellunge who has just gone somewhere else, but, by the same token, the sure-enough angler is ready to go out next morning, rain or shine, at sunrise. What information does the author use in the fourth paragraph to support his belief that true fishermen are faithful to the sport even when fish are scarce?
A) a comparison of the price of fish in a market
B) current and reasonable prices of fishing equipment
C) a descriptive quote emphasizing traits of dedication
D) an anecdote describing a successful fishing excursion

THIS IS AN ASSIGNMENT FROM READING THE BOOK THE VELDT PLEASE DONT ANSWER IF YOU DONT KNOW!!

6) The house is replacing all those daily human activities, like: cooking, cleaning the house, doing the washing etc.  

7) At the beginning of the story we can see that George war really pleased with the house, because it makes everything for them. He shows us here that he is a really busy man who does not really like doing the housekeeping.

8) This quote shows us that Peter does not so dissatisfied with his parents that he has found another parental figure (the nursery).

9) The themes in this story are: Technology, Family, and dissatisfaction.

Technology: During the storing we can see that technology has replaced everything in that house. It makes everything for them and they started to feel useless.

Family: They do not have a relationship any more. The Children do not spend time with their parents, and the parents do not give all the attention or support that their children need. They are strangers living in the same house

Dissatisfaction: This family are totally unhappy, the mother feels useless because, she does not work or do anything. The father started to drink and smoke. Finally, the children are so dissatisfied with their parents that they've found another parental figure.

10) Technology: it is something that makes life easy—maybe too easy. In fact, technology makes life so easy that it's not even really living any more, according to George.

11) Just then they heard the children calling, “Daddy, Mommy, come quick — quick!” They went downstairs in the air flue and ran down the hall. The children were nowhere in sight. “Wendy? Peter!”  

They ran into the nursery. The children were there crying on the floor, surrounded by the lion. George ran out and turn the nursery off. The lions disappear and the children threw theirselves in their mother’s arms. – mom, dad, I don’t want to live here anymore! I hate his house- cried Peter.

The family switched off the nursery and the house, sold everything and started a new life in Iowa.

The theme that I changed here is family. When everything got dark, Peter and Wendy looked for their parents help.
