Laurel woke up to the sound of her banging alarm. She was startled, but excited to start her first day of middle school. Her outfit was ready, and her lunch was packed. She even bought new pens and notebooks for the new school year.
As she sat on the bus in her new clothes, she started to feel nervous. What if she didn’t like her teachers? What if middle school was too hard? What if she didn’t have anyone to sit with at lunch? Laurel could feel her stomach churning with fear. Then at the next stop, her best friend, Norma, got on the bus. As Norma sat right next to her, Laurel knew everything would be okay as long as she had her best friend.
Explanation:
The resolution of this story is; Laurel calming down due to her friends appearance.
The story begins with Laurel getting ready and prepared for school. (Sort of like a prologue) A prologue explains the setting and idea of the story, it could also introduce the main character who is Laurel. Then comes the "climax". The climax is the highest point in the story, it mainly leads to the resolution. Laurel sat on the bus and began worrying, would her teachers like her? Who would she sit with at lunch? Then we revisit the resolution, "As Norma sat right next to her, Laurel knew everything would be okay".

there are 3 boxes please help me
Answer is in the file below
tinyurl.com/wpazsebu
Answer:
This may help
Explanation:
In the 50 years following the end of Reconstruction, African Americans transformed American life once more: They moved. Driven in part by economic concerns, and in part by frustration with the straitened social conditions of the South, in the 1870s African Americans began moving North and West in great numbers. In the 1890s, the number of African Americans moving to the Northeast and the Midwest was double that of the previous decade. In 1910, it doubled again, then again in 1920. In the 1920s, more than 750,000 African Americans left the South--a greater movement of people than had occurred in the Irish potato famine of the 1840s.
The large-scale relocation to the Northeast and West brought many other changes with it, as many largely rural people moved into cities for the first time. Housing was difficult to come by, and in many cities the non-African American residents demanded strict segregation, relegating the new arrivals to self-contained neighborhoods in undesirable parts of town. In addition, most of the available work in the cities was industrial, and many migrating African Americans faced the prospect of learning new trades, generally at lower rates of pay than European Americans received. Tensions between longtime residents and new migrants frequently flared, and during the first decades of the century race riots struck many of the nation's cities and towns, from Springfield, Illinois, and Rosewood, Florida, to New York, Los Angeles, Detroit, and Tulsa.
The coming of the First World War drew still more African Americans to the nation's cities, both in the North and the South, as workers were attracted by new factory jobs. A university education came within reach for more and more African Americans, and considerable debate emerged about the role of the growing African American professional class. As African American officers such as Colonel Charles Young attained higher command rank, a career in the military became more appealing.
The new century also saw the birth of a new generation of activist organizations dedicated to advancing the cause of equal rights for African Americans, as well as to improving their social and economic conditions. The two most notable of these were the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which was founded in 1910, and the National Urban League, which followed the next year. Both groups were racially integrated, and both were seen by some as too radical in their goals and methods, but they soon emerged as central forces in the struggles of the mid-century.
Perhaps the most profound result of the move to the Northeast and West, however, was the shift in electoral power that it brought with it. For the first time since Reconstruction, a substantial number of African Americans were able to freely exercise their right to vote. This access to the tools of democracy soon resulted in the election of African American political leaders, and it also made the African American electorate a force to be reckoned with on the national political scene-a force whose concerns could not easily be ignored.
7. Kelly has not used the most appropriate word in sentence 17. Which word best
replaces changes ?
varies
shifts
o
controls
0
decreases
CLEAR ALL
Answer: Decreases
Explanation:
This is based on the Kelly call to action essay. In sentence 17, it was not enough that Kelly used ''changes'' to show that the quantity was changing, it would have been better if Kelly showed just how it was changing.
As the quantity was reducing it would be best to use ''decreases'' to show that the type of change that was going on was one that saw the quantity decrease.

Analyze Thurber is known for his humor and wit. How does he convey
humor in this story? Cite details from the text to support your response
Answer:
Thurber conveyed humor in this story by making weird interpretations of the characters in the story. The next morning when Thurber met the American woman, he said, "The reason Duncan resembled Lady Macbeth's father as he slept is that it actually was her father!” “Good God!" breathed my companion softly. In this statement, Thurber attributed the death of the King to Lady Macbeth's father who appeared once in the story and this surprised the American woman.
Explanation:
Thurber used humor in this story, a skill employed by writers to make the story fun and evoke laughter by giving unusual interpretation of events in the story. When the American woman was suspecting Macduff as the person who killed the King, Thurber came with an entirely different interpretation the next morning stating that it was Lady Macbeth's father who made just one appearance in the story that killed the King.
When the woman asked him who he suspected since he was going to buy Hamlet, he said "Everybody". These were funny and weird behaviors of Thurber.

Can someone please write me a introduction on why single sex education good.
With these texts
Source 1: Single-sex Education: The Pros and Cons
By Kristin Stanberry
Single-sex education (teaching boys and girls in separate classrooms or schools) is an old approach that’s gaining new momentum. While single-sex education has long existed in many private schools, it’s a relatively new option for public schools. The National Association for Single-Sex Public Education estimates that approximately 400 public schools now offer some form of single-sex education. What is fueling this movement? And what are the risks and benefits of single-sex education?
A driving force in the single-sex education movement is recent research showing natural differences in how males and females learn. Putting this research into practice, however, has triggered a debate that extends beyond pure academics. Political, civil rights, socioeconomic and legal concerns also come into play.
Before weighing the pros and cons of single-sex education, consider the influences of “nature versus nurture.” Many factors affect each child’s learning profile and preferences:
Some factors relate to the child’s nature, such as gender, temperament, abilities (and disabilities), and intelligence.
Other influences stem from the way parents and society nurture the child: Family upbringing, socioeconomic status, culture and stereotypes all fall under the “nurture” category.
Some parents don’t want their children to be in mixed-gender classrooms because, especially at certain ages, students of the opposite sex can be a distraction.
Leonard Sax, founder of the National Association for Single-Sex Public Education, and others agree that merely placing boys in separate classrooms from girls accomplishes little. But single-sex education enhances student success when teachers use techniques geared toward the gender of their students.
Some research and reports from educators suggest that single-sex education can broaden the educational prospects for both girls and boys. Advocates claim co-ed schools tend to reinforce gender stereotypes, while single-sex schools can break down gender stereotypes. For example, girls are free of the pressure to compete with boys in male-dominated subjects such as math and science. Boys, on the other hand, can more easily pursue traditionally “feminine” interests such as music and poetry. One mother, whose daughter has attended a girls-only school for three years, shared her experience on the GreatSchools parent community: “I feel that the single gender environment has given her a level of confidence and informed interest in math and science that she may not have had otherwise.”
The fact remains that there are relatively few single-sex schools in our nation’s public education system, and where they do exist, they are offered as an option rather than a requirement. If the single-sex education movement continues, you may find yourself in a position to vote for or against it in your own community.
Excerpt from “Single-sex education: the pros and cons” by Kristin Stanberry, from Greatschools.org.
Answer:
Single-sex Education is the term used to describe schools that separate students based on their gender. This type of education was common around the world in the middle of the 18th and 19th centuries, but it is maintained in some countries for cultural or religious reasons.
