Think back on some of your favorite books and describe one that has influenced you in some way. When did you read the book, what was it about, and how did it impact your life?

Answer:

Out Of My Mind

Explanation:

One of my favorite books is Out of My Mind by Sharon M. Draper. I can't date back to when I read it but I'd say it was maybe two years ago? Not sure. I'd reread it every day.

*Warning: Spoilers!*

This story is told through 11-year-old Melody. She has cerebral palsy, and this resulted in her inability to speak or walk. She does have an extraordinary photographic memory. She's very intelligent and can understand everything very well. However, this is something that many people around Melody cannot seem to grasp. They make it seem as if she has the inability to think or as if she's incapable of learning. She becomes frustrated with this because it feels as if people who don't even know her well just assume she doesn't understand anything, this is including her peers and unfortunately adults as well. She navigates through the rest of the story and goes through ups and downs.

I've become better at recognizing when an author has good writing and characters or not, so if you read reviews of this book, many of the negative ones are just about the writing. I can understand that. At the time, I began reading this book and automatically got hooked because of the concept and being able to understand how Melody felt. It was the first time I really thought about people with disabilities and imagined how frustrating it must be to be constantly underestimated and misunderstood. When Melody felt angry, I was angry. When she felt happy, I felt happy. When she was disappointed, I was disappointed. If there's something that I did see 1-3 star reviews say is that it really does shine a light on how people that are disabled feel. It gives them a voice. Even if the writing isn't too complex or unique to some people and they found the characters one-dimensional, I think that everyone needs to read this book at least once. Especially those who have mindsets similar to the antagonists in the story (I'm looking at you, Claire). Overall, the story was eye-opening to me, it gave me a bigger heart, and encourages me to be emotionally aware of all people.

Read Part One of Article B on sea otters.

If you have ever watched sea otters swim and play at your local zoo, you know they are extraordinary animals. But did you know they are under threat of extinction? That means no more sea otters in the wild and fewer in captivity. Sea otters have been on the Endangered Species List for over 45 years, but there are actions humans can take to protect them.

The Fur Trade

In the 1800s, sea otters were hunted for their fur. The fur trade between North America and Europe was booming, and sea otter fur was a popular option because of its thickness. By the mid-20th century, sea otters had been hunted to near extinction. Only 1,000−2,000 sea otters were believed to be living in the wild in 1929. Many people thought the species would soon become extinct. However, due to conservation efforts during the second half of the 20th century, sea otter populations recovered. The strengthening of the numbers of sea otters in the wild is often considered to be one of the greatest successes in marine conservation.

Despite their comeback, sea otters are sadly still an endangered species. This is due to predators and human impact on the sea otter's habitat.

Predators

Sea otters are threatened by other animals in the water and on land. Killer whales are one of the sea otter's main predators now that the seal and sea lion populations are declining. Sharks, sea lions, and eagles also pluck sea otters from the water while bears and coyotes will hunt them on land. Sea otters use their intelligence to outsmart some of their predators. They also use their sharp teeth to protect themselves.

What is the author's point of view on the reason the sea otter population recovered?


Laws were passed to shorten the number of months in sea otter hunting season.

Sea otters learned to eat a more varied diet, saving themselves from extinction.

Conservation efforts in the last half of the twentieth century saved sea otters.

More people started owning sea otters as pets, which increased their number.

Read these lines from “To Autumn.”

Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells.

How do these lines develop the theme that autumn is a beautiful time of year?

A. They focus on the animals who have grown strong and frolic during autumn.

B. They describe the behaviors of people as the crisp evenings of autumn return.

C. They describe the season as a period characterized by abundance.

D. They suggest autumn is a season when the world is just coming to life.

Hello, people of Brainly! I need an answer ASAP! I'm sure it's annoying when people ask for long things, but hear me out. I'll give a ton of points, and the best answer gets Brainliest. If someone answers just for points, it'll be reported.

Chapter 1

"You know, hardly anyone ever needs to do a three-point turn anymore," said Justin, trying to help Becky calm down.

"Oh, so it's not a useful skill AND I am probably going to fail the driving test because I can't do it anyway," Becky said, raising her voice for emphasis. "That should make me feel like a million bucks when I flunk."

Justin was riding with Becky so she could take her driving test. He had volunteered for the job because he thought she would be less nervous with him than with their mom, but so far, he wasn't sure he was making any difference.

"Slow down, your turn is coming up here," he said, looking ahead.

"I know, I know," she replied, "I've been here before remember—the last time I flunked."

Justin was pretty sure if he had let her miss the turn, things would only have deteriorated further, but he wasn't sure he was fond of being the scapegoat for Becky's anxiety.

"Listen, you need to take a few deep breaths," he said, hoping he could help her at least relax a bit. "Being nervous won't help you with the three-point turn or anything else you have to do. Hey, did you just take that turn without your turn signal on?" This was going to be harder than he thought.

"Stop yelling at me," Becky replied, clearly frustrated, "I can't concentrate."

"Look, you need to stop and get yourself together here," Justin started. "It is not just about passing the driving test. I don't want to get in an accident, so pull into that parking lot."

Becky drove into the office building's parking lot where Justin was pointing. Justin knew they were less than a mile from the licensing office, and if she continued in this condition, he'd be having this same discussion three months from now when she tried the test again for the third time.

"You need to get a grip," he started after she put the car in park, "because you have studied and practiced driving all year. You know this stuff inside and out, backwards and forwards. What are you so nervous about?"

"I don't know, I don't know," Becky wailed, resting her head on the steering wheel. "I just get so tired of failing."

Listening quietly as Becky sobbed, Justin realized this was about much more than a driving test. He also knew if he didn't find a way to help Becky things would just get worse.

Chapter 2

Justin took a deep breath and collected his thoughts. Becky was an unbelievably consistent straight-A student. It was Justin who got the bad grades in school, and Justin who had to repeat every math class he'd ever taken. It was Justin who wished he could get the grades Becky got. Some things came easier for Justin: He was athletic, handy with tools, and good at making the best of whatever life threw at him. Mom called him her "lemons into lemonade" kid. But for the most part, Becky succeeded easily, whereas Justin had to work and work to just get a passing grade.

Rather than having Becky catalogue all the things she supposedly "failed" at, Justin decided to try an alternative approach, one that wouldn't remind him of all the ways he had failed.

"Okay, Becky, let's assume for a moment you fail this test again. What is the worst thing that could happen?" he asked.

"I would be the oldest kid at school without a license and be humiliated," she replied. Justin thought he heard a bit of panic in her voice but continued with his plan.

"Yes, but won't we still have to drive to school together for at least one more year anyway?" he asked.

"Yes, but..." she started.

"And who will know, if you don't tell anyone except your friends, that you don't have your license? You know Mom can't afford another car just for you, right?"

"Yes," she said quietly.

"So what difference does it make, really," he said. "Another three months to wait in the grand scheme of your life doesn't seem like all that long, right?"

"I suppose not," she said.

Justin could tell she was breathing more slowly now. "Besides," he said, "I would miss all the practice driving with you," and for good measure he reached over and pinched her arm.

"Ow," she said, hitting back at him, "that hurt."

"So let's go do this, okay?

"Okay," she said. Becky cranked up the car, backed slowly out of the parking spot and drove up to the parking lot's exit. Justin noticed, as they waited for the traffic to clear, that she had remembered the turn signal.

Using both Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 of "The Three-Point Turn," write a short essay explaining how Justin is able to convince Becky that flunking the driving test will not be all that bad.

please help me thank you!! <3

Read the excerpt from the play The King of Sharks:

Scene 3

Young man with a birthmark in the shape of shark teeth on his back is hiding behind some trees, listening to fishermen talk.

Narrator: The shark prince grew up. He became a strong young man who looked just like the other young men of the village, except for the strange birthmark on his back.

Fisherman 1: I hear there is good fishing out at the cove. I will head there tomorrow morning at first light.

Fisherman 2: I will join you! Be sure you don't mention where you are going to anyone else. It will mean more fish for us!

Fisherman 1: I won't tell a soul. You must have said something last time. There were hardly any fish left.

Narrator: The prince often listened to where the village fishermen planned to go, and he would always get there first to eat his fill of the delicious fish. With his father's cloak around his shoulders, the prince could transform into a shark whenever he chose. The fishermen were becoming suspicious.

What is different about the appearances of the shark prince and the other villagers?

A. Only the other villagers enjoy catching and eating fish.
B. Only the other villagers have tanned skin from working outside.
C. Only the shark prince has a birthmark in the shape of shark teeth.
D. Only the shark prince is strong enough to lift baskets.
