Answer:
Troy and Cory's father-son relationship succumbs to its first major blow while working together on Rose's fence. The blow to their relationship is not yet a physical affront, but an irreconcilable difference. Cory has taken care of insuring his job at the A&P for after football season and gets good grades in school, but Troy does not acknowledge these responsible acts. Instead, Troy only sees the ways Cory does not live up to Troy's vision of how Cory should live his life. Troy's hypocrisy becomes evident to Cory over the course of his conversation with Troy as they build the fence.
The beginning of their talk displays a friendly competition aspect of their relationship. Troy and Cory argue about the purchasing of a television versus a new roof in good spirits. Troy is typically stubborn and takes the pragmatic view on the television issue, again emphasizing his inability to empathize with anyone else's lofty dreams but his own. However, in a moment of compassion, Troy relents and offers Cory a fair deal. In this moment, Troy is his most laudable. Cory's persistent, logical and persuasive argument for a television affects Troy. It is notable that Troy does not go head over heels and offer to buy Cory the television, but his proposal is fair and balanced. By offering to pay half if Cory can come up with half of the money, Troy emphasizes the kind of responsibility-instilling parenting he believes in that encourages Cory's work ethic, while supporting his son in realizing a dream. On the flip side, when their argument hits closer to home with the topic of sports, Troy transforms his fair and supportive outlook into an irrational, hurtful one.
Explanation:
If a bully bothered me at school, I would first ignore it. Then if the bullying gets worse, I would ask him/her to stop politely(be patient with bullies they are having a hard time, and thats why they are most likely picking on you). If it doesn't stop I would report it to an adult, or a parent. It will stop after this, if it doesn't then talk to the bullies' parents or the principal
Elimination is always the best. Pick out the worst possible answers, so it'll give you less choices to pick from. Or you could always pick c. I wouldn't advise that. Good luck on your test. :)
<span>adding statistics about economic power
This author makes their opinion clear, and supports that claim (that Roosevelt was the greatest president) by giving examples of things that he did. In order to improve their argument though, they should add actual statistics about what Roosevelt did. Using statistics would prove their point that these things actually worked and improved the economy.</span>
