Answer: <em>During his youth, Valentine gave him the nickname "Ender" because she could not yet pronounce "Andrew". His birth illustrated Peter's failure to fulfill a destiny in Battle School, and as a result Peter abused him mercilessly.</em>
This question refers to the short story "The Talking Skull".
Answer and Explanation:
<u>In "The Talking Skull - A Fable from Cameroon" by Donna L. Washington, the theme concerns how thinking too highly of yourself and talking too much can bring you trouble. The author uses the character of the talking skull to teach that lesson</u>. The skull is found by a man who considers himself a scholar and who talks and talks about things that are only important to him, but that no one else wants to hear. <u>When he asks the skull "What brought you here, brother?" or, in other words, what caused its death, the skull immediately replies, "Talking."</u>
The man does not pay attention to what the skull is saying. He only cares about the fact that its talking. <u>The skull makes it clear that not everything is worth saying</u>, but the man does not listen. He tries to make the skull talk in front of the villagers, but no avail. He is finally thrown out by them since they are tired of his ideas and talks. The skull once more talks, only to remind the man that not everything is worth saying.

Explanation:
Dear Tiffany,
It has come to my attention that there is a ton of litter in the neighborhood park! It makes me sad to see no children playing there because of the mess. If we could clean up the area, it would make our neighborhood look much nicer than before. My idea is that we should host a clean-up day. We can make posters called, “Spring Day Cleanup!” and put them around the neighborhood. I can also get my mom to mention it at the next Neighborhood Board Meeting.
There is also this charity that helps children afford books. It’s called “Reading for Everyone”. They give out text books, book bags, school supplies and more. They’re known worldwide for all that they have done! I’ve recently become very intrigued in their work lately, and I was thinking we could help them out. We could sell lemonade, and cookies to the workers after the cleanup. We could also sell trash bags and gloves. With the profit, we can donate it to the charity. It’s like killing two birds with one stone. We help out our neighborhood park and the “Reading for Everyone” charity.
My reason for writing to you is; would you mind helping pass out fliers, and then on the day we have the cleanup, would you help serve lemonade? It would mean a lot to me, and I will also be there to help! Together, we can clean up the park, and make kids happy. Please consider it, and I look forward to your letter back.
Sincerely,
Your name
