In the poem "On Turning Ten", the year-old speaker, sheds his thoughts on the realization that he is no longer a youngling. This particular poem is very melancholic which is a contrast to the usual humor of Billy Collin's poetry.

<h3>Summary of the Poem "On Turning Ten"</h3>

Billy Collin in this poem digs deep into the childhood memories of a 10-year-old, who remember the bliss and magic of childhood and contrasts that with the paid of life that he is now becoming aware of.

Although the adult to whom he speaks reassures him that he still has a lot of years to enjoy his childhood, the melancholic speaker indicates that it is impossible because he now sees the world from a different perspective.

How is the story's theme reflected in the conversation between Hazel and George that concludes the story?
marusya05 [52]
For a second, there seems to be hope when Hazel cries about her son dying. That fleeting moment disappears, and we know this because when George says "you can say that again", she repeats it, misunderstanding his statement because of her average (more like way below average) intellect.

Kurt Vonnegut's goal was not writing a story about courageous people overcoming their weaknesses and defying odds, but how society shuts down those non-conforming, defiant people.

Form the possessive of plural nouns that do not end in s by adding _____. ' 's s' s
tester [92]

The correct answer is B. 's

Explanation:

In the English language, one of the most common ways to express a noun owns something is by using the apostrophe. However, this follows strict rules, indeed in the case of singular nouns that do not end in "s" the possessive is formed by adding the apostrophe followed by an "s" or 's, for example in Maria's house. On the other hand, if the singular noun already ends in "s" only the apostrophe is added as in Charles' house. In the case of plural nouns, similar rules apply as if the noun does not end in "s" the apostrophe and the "s" need to be added as in children's needs or men's ideas. Therefore, the possessive of plural nouns that do not end in s are formed by adding 's.
