As he turned to go on, he spat speculatively. There was a sharp, explosive crackle that startled him. He spat again, and again, in the air, before it could fall to the snow, the spittle crackled. He knew that at fifty below spittle crackled on the snow, but this spittle had crackled in the air. Undoubtedly it was colder than fifty below—how much colder he did not know. But the temperature did not matter. He was bound for the old claim on the left fork of Henderson Creek, where the boys were already.

Sunday at the Water Park
“Yeah, the job is pretty boring,” Mariah admitted, looking at the wave pool from atop her lifeguard station. “But I get to be outdoors and I can go on all the rides for free when I’m done.”
Her questioner—Berry, a classmate she didn’t know well, who happened to be a customer as well as being the annoying editor of the school newspaper—stretched his arm up toward her in some weird kind of salute. Actually he was recording her with the purple-and-black striped phone in his hand. “How are the working conditions?” he inquired in the important tones of an anchorman.
“They’re—” She stopped cold. She stood up, staring at the crowd who rose and fell and squealed with each new surge of machine-churned water. Amid the bobbing figures, she had seen one stop moving, and seen its head sink halfway under the water and stay there.
She grabbed the rescue tube and dove into the pool. In what felt like an instant, she had swum to the far end, a few feet from the wave machine, and stopped behind the eight-year-old boy who was floating face-down. She thrust the long, red foam rescue tube at him. Then, she stood in the three-foot deep water and scooped him around the waist. As she lifted his head, a waterfall of clear, bubbly water streamed down. She wrapped both his small, soft hands around the flotation tube and towed him to the side of the pool. She hoisted him high and set him on the brightly painted white cement, then boosted herself up after him.
The boy—his name turned out to be Peter—hadn’t fully lost consciousness, so he didn’t need CPR. After a couple of slaps on the back, he was coughing wetly and breathing well, though too stunned even to ask what had happened.
By now, the waders in the pool understood vaguely what had happened. They looked around helplessly and asked each other bewildered questions. No one had noticed that Peter was drowning, not even the adults three feet away from him. Peter’s teenage brother and his friends had sloshed as quickly as they could to poolside. In five minutes, the EMS ambulance arrived to take Peter to the nearby clinic.
“I got it all on video!” Berry exclaimed. “Now give me an interview!”
She couldn’t give him much of an interview, because the event had lasted only thirty seconds. She hadn’t consciously decided how to act, and didn’t remember many details. Her reflexes had done it all automatically. Her lifesaving courses had worked!
She hardly knew what she was saying during the interview, and assumed she must sound incredibly dumb and out of breath. Later her family and neighbors told her how poised and in-charge she’d appeared. The strange thing was, she didn’t feel as if she’d done anything special. The only thing that felt new was the way she couldn’t keep herself from smiling at everything—at the trees in her backyard, at silly TV shows, at her younger brother, at the table setting at dinner, at everything.
Answer:
The summary of the given article is Berry, a school newspaper writer was interviewing a life guard on station at a pool. When asked a question, Mariah, the life guard noticed an 8 year old boy drowning and then reacted on instinct. She saved the boy and the newspaper writer caught it on video, then asked for an interview.

Read the passage. In a paragraph, describe the conflict and explain what it tells you about Rachel.
Answer:
I need the passage pleaseee thanks
Explanation: The conflict in the paragraph is that a sweater is given to her by Mrs. Price, but the sweater isn't actually hers. Rachel doesn't know how to tell the teacher this. This tells me that Rachel is a shy person or a worried one. She just doesn't know how to use her voice. Rachel wishes she was older so she could handle the situation better.
Answer:
Rachel experiences a self vs self conflict in which she wishes that she was older, therefor holding more knowledge and maturity, and being able to face difficult situations more easily. This tells us that Rachel might be easily intimidated or scared, as well as wistful, and that she may have an idealization of becoming an adult.

I had come into his office to work on English homework. I was working on Clauses. When I asked my Dad what he was mumbling about he said that the compounds were Indivisible, and that he needed to Eradicate one of the variables, and that the Eradication of one of the variables was Imperative to how well the experiment went. This is my favorite memory because we got to work together.

Fire was first given to man by nature itself. When a forest is set on fire by cinders from a neighboring volcano, or when a tree is set ablaze by a thunderbolt, we may say that nature strikes a match. In the early history of the world, nature had to kindle all the fires, for man by his own effort was unable to produce a spark. The first method, then, of getting fire for use was to light sticks of wood at a flame kindled by nature—by a volcano, perhaps, or by a stroke of lightning. These firebrands were carried to the home and used in kindling the fires there. The fire secured in this way was carefully guarded and was kept burning as long as possible. But the flame, however faithfully watched, would sometimes be extinguished. A sudden gust of wind or a sudden shower would put it out. Then a new firebrand would have to be secured, and this often meant a long journey and a deal of trouble.
In 1827, John Walker, a druggist in a small English town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. The druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. It is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. Although Walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. It could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. In a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. The match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. It would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. This was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar.

A sudden gust of wind or a sudden shower would put it out.
How does this line develop the main idea of the essay? (5 points)

Plato The development of theater: tutorial
Answer:
Plato was very critical of poetry. He said ,"it got in the way of the pursuit of truth". He prefers philosophical dialogue.
Enkidu said, "Don't worry, my friend, the dream you had is a favorable one. The eagle that you saw, with a lion's head, stands for Humbaba. Though it dived straight toward you and terrifying flames shot from its mouth, nothing could cause you harm. The young man who came to your rescue was our lord, Shamash. He will stand beside us when the monster attacks. Whatever happens, we will prevail." Gilgamesh, happy with his good dream, smiled, and his face lit up with pleasure. Theme One: Dreams have valuable meanings. What other theme is addressed in the excerpt? Imaginary monsters pose no threat. People can depend on their god(s). One must be prepared for battle. Happiness leads to great success.
Answer:
People can depend on their god(s).
Explanation:
The Epic of Gilgamesh is an Akkadian tale about Gilgamesh, the epic hero king of Uruk. The story follows him and his friend Enkidu on their dangerous journeys and quests.
Based on the given passage, it is evident that there is a certain belief in the gods for protection and at times luck. As Enkidu said, the eagle that Gilgamesh saw in his dream may seem like it is going straight for him, but in truth, (dream interpreted), it means that the lord Shamash will protect him from the "terrifying flames" out of the eagle's mouth. This shows that people can depend on their god(s) for protection and help in times of need.
Thus, the correct answer is the second option.

Instead of 8 hours of school, we can give students 5 hours of studies and at least and hour and a half of time with communication with friends and teachers.
