Lessons from My Grandfather

Much of what I learned about life was from my grandfather. He was an old man who told stories and asked questions. When I went to visit him, he would ask me about my dreams and fears. He would spit a little as he had started to lose a few teeth. Then, my grandfather looked into the horizon and spoke to me. His voice seemed to drift from the clouds, and it carried words of ancient wisdom. My grandfather taught me about believing in self. "What you are most afraid of," he once said, "is the fear of failure."

Nina saw her long lost youth and energy in Alisa. She knew it was time to help someone maneuver their way into the world of athletics.

How does Dally's decision to leave the Nightly Double change the setting of chapter 2 of The Outsiders?
It makes the setting more stressful because Dally will bring back other greasers who will start a fight.
It makes the scene at the drive-in less threatening to the Soc girls, and they can talk more freely.
It makes the scene at the drive-in less safe with only Ponyboy and Johnny around to protect the girls.
It makes the setting less interactive because Ponyboy and Johnny are too shy to talk to the girls.

Answers

Answer:

the answer is 2. It makes the scene at the drive-in less threatening to the Soc girls, and they can talk more freely.

Explanation:

plz mark brainlyest

Dally's decision to leave the Nightly Double changes the setting of chapter 2 of The Outsiders as It makes the scene at the drive-in less threatening to the Soc girls, and they can talk more freely. Thus, option 2nd is correct.

What is the theme of Outsiders?

The Outsiders' core topic is self-identification vs. collective identity. The term itself hints at this theme since the Outsiders establish their own gang (the greasers) because they feel on the outside of society.

The Greasers have conquered the majority of the hurdles provided by the Socs by remaining loyal to one another. As a result, the central topic of The Outsiders is that loyalty is critical to a group's survival and well-being.

Dally's choice to leave the Nightly Double alters the context of Chapter 2 of The Outsiders by making the environment at the drive-in less intimidating to the Soc females, allowing them to converse more openly. As a result, option 2 is correct.

How do we decide what we want versus what we need?

Answers

There are many ways to do this.To quickly determine the difference between a want and need, think of a need being something required for survival. Needs are water for drinking, food to eat, clothing to keep you warm, and shelter to live in.On the other hand, a want is everything else.But somethings are not a need or a want for example taking a shower is something you don't need for survival but you want to stay clean(and kill any germs you can with the virus)

Read this excerpt from "Wiley, His Mama, and the Hairy Man” in The People Could Fly

Well, when Wiley got himself home, safe, he told his mama that the Hairy Man had almost got him that time. Hairy Man would have, too, but that he pretended to pray and called his hounds instead and the hounds run the Hairy Man off.

"Did he have his sack?" his mama asked Wiley.

"Yesum," Wiley said.

"Next time he come after you, don't you climb some tree," said his mama.

What theme is suggested by this excerpt?

Refusing to fight solves problems.
It is better to hide from a problem than to face it directly.
Always stick to the first plan you make to solve a problem.
It is important to listen to others’ advice.

Answers

Answer:

The answer would be D. "It is important to listen to others' advice".

Explanation:

"Wiley, His Mama And The Hairy Man" tells the story of a boy, Wiley, who lived in a swamp with his mother. Hairy Man is a monster that lives in the swamp, and has probably eaten Wiley's father. The Hairy Man is now after Wiley, who needs his mother's help and advice to defeat the monster.

This excerpt is showing how Wiley followed his mother's advice and managed to escape The Hairy Man.

Answer:

D.  It is important to listen to others' advice.

Explanation:

Wiley's mama helps him defeat the Hairy Man 3 times and without her help he may never have completed the problem and the Hairy Man would not have disappeared.  Without listening to others the Hairy Man would still be out there.

Scout asks Mr. Cunningham if he is a father like Atticus to try and get Walter to think in Atticus shoes because the mob was willing to hurt Atticus to get justice from Tom Robinson, so Scout asks them innocent questions to try and get them to leave which they then do.

Mr. Thomas sat on the front porch of his house in a bathrobe and bunny slippers with his head in his hands. He was holding the daily newspaper. The sun shined brightly in the sky. His neighbors were coming out of their houses and getting in their cars. Mr. Thomas sighed. His neighbor Mr. Rosencrantz stepped out on his porch and saw Mr. Thomas. "Did it again, huh?" said Mr. Rosencrantz. Mr. Thomas replied, "Yep." Mr. Rosencrantz chuckled and said, "Here, Mr. Thomas, you can use my cell phone. I could even keep a key over here if you wanted." Tom thankfully grabbed the cell phone and called his wife. "Honey, I did it again." Mr. Rosencrantz heard Mrs. Thomas yelling at Mr. Thomas in a distorted high-pitched squeal. "Yes, dear. I'm so sorry.
