“Broken Chain”

Alfonso sat on the porch trying to push his crooked teeth to where he thought they belonged. He hated the way he looked. Last week he did fifty sit-ups a day, thinking that he would burn those already apparent ripples on his stomach to even deeper ripples, dark ones, so when he went swimming at the canal next summer, girls in cutoffs would notice. And the guys would think he was tough, someone who could take a punch and give it back.

“Fish Cheeks”

I fell in love with the minister’s son the winter I turned fourteen. He was not Chinese, but as white as Mary in the manger. For Christmas I prayed for this blond-haired boy, Robert, and a slim new American nose.

When I found out that my parents had invited the minister’s family over for Christmas Eve dinner, I cried. What would Robert think of our shabby Chinese Christmas? What would he think of our noisy Chinese relatives who lacked proper American manners? What terrible disappointment would he feel upon seeing not a roasted turkey and sweet potatoes but Chinese food?

Which text evidence from the essay and short story best supports the theme that people often care what others think about them?
“He hated the way he looked.” “I fell in love with the minister’s son the winter I turned fourteen.”
“Last week he did fifty sit-ups a day” “He was not Chinese, but as white as Mary in the manger.”
“He wanted “cuts” like those he had seen on a calendar of an Aztec warrior” “For Christmas I prayed for . . . a slim new American nose.”
“so when he went swimming . . . next summer, girls in cutoffs would notice.” “What would Robert think of our shabby Chinese Christmas?”

Which is the graph of the linear equation x – 2y = 6? On a coordinate plane, a line goes through points (negative 6, 0) and (0, 3). On a coordinate plane, a line goes through points (0, negative 3) and (6, 0). On a coordinate plane, a line goes through points (negative 6, 0) and (0, negative 3). On a coordinate plane, a line goes through points (0, 3) and (6, 0).

Answers

Answer:

On a coordinate plane, a line goes through points (0, negative 3) and (6, 0).

Explanation:

Given the following data;

x - 2y = 6

First of all, we would determine the slope of the equation.

2y = x - 6

Dividing both sides by 2, we have;

y = ½x - 3

Next, we find the points on the x-axis;

When y = 0

0 = ½x - 3

3 = ½x

Cross-multiplying, we have;

x = 3 * 2 = 6

Points on the y-axis;

When x = 0

y = ½(0) - 3

y = -3

Therefore, the points on the coordinate plane are (6, 0) and (0, -3)

The graph of the linear equation x - 2y = 6 would be represented on a coordinate plane with the line going through points (0, negative 3) and (6, 0).

Answer:

B for SURE

Explanation:

If you do the math for the graph b, the x intercept is on 0,6.  Since we must do this x – 2y = 6, we have to subtract x by the value of y times 2.  0 x 2 is clearly 0.  6 - 0 is 6, which is also the output for the equation. BOOM!

a scary suspense story in about 150 to 200 words​

Answers

Answer:

A scary suspense story.

Explanation:

Once while returning home from visiting a sick friend, I was walking along the small, dark, paved road when I thought I heard some footsteps behind me. Even though it was late at night, I didn't think much about it. So, I did not concern myself with it and continued walking.

I decided to take a shortcut to my home. For that, I have to go through a football field that's a bit secluded from the main road. Thinking nothing about it, I went ahead through the field when I heard it again. I turned back but didn't see anyone or anything. I resumed my walk and would have been fine until I heard someone whispering my name. It was then that I started to get scared, with the hairs on my skin standing. I felt someone is near me but I couldn't see anyone. Scared out of my wits, I ran till I reached my home. Dashing into the house, I closed the door and stood there for some time. I don't know if what I felt was real or not, but I made up my mind never to go through the field late at night again.

Read the following excerpt from a memoir. Which sentence expresses the significance of this place to the writer?
I grew up in Norwood, Massachusetts. It is a town known for being in the book of world records for having the most "townies," among other things. Townies are people who spend their entire lives in a town and never move away. I went to school with a few students who were blood relatives to the founders of Norwood, making them true "Norwoodians." It was great having a true sense of home in Norwood, but being just 20 minutes south of Boston meant that we had easy access to the train by taking the bus to the Forest Hills train station. Oh, how I can recall the bus ride from Norwood into Boston, through Dedham, West Roxbury, and Roslindale. Those days were filled with seeing the tree-lined suburbs race away stop after stop, as we got closer to the city. Being able to hop on the "T", that is what we called the subway, brought sheer joy to me as a high school student, with the new-found freedom to hang out in the city. When I reached Boston, I would get off on the orange line and walk around Downtown Crossing and marvel at how big the city was compared to what downtown Norwood looked like. There were options. Different foods, all types of stores, and I could never get enough of it. I travel back to Boston often and when I do, I always make sure to get on the "T" at Forest Hills and take the swift ride into Downtown Crossing and relive my younger days.

How much will be in the account after 2 years? 1"Grandpa, don't die!" Emma Abrams choked with deep conviction. "You mean everything to me. I can't live without you!" This was the part of the script where Emma was supposed to burst into real tears, yet her big blue eyes were like a desert. Emma tried to think of something despairing, like the time her toddling brother sliced his finger on a piece of broken glass while she was watching him, or the devastation she felt when learning that her cat had run away. These sad reflections did nothing to moisten her eyes. "Well, don't panic, Emma," she coached herself. "When it counts in the audition today, you'll cry real tears. You've just got to!"2It was difficult to study the script in the car with all of the bumps, turns, and sudden stops typical of trips into New York City, but Emma was determined to make sure that she had each line memorized word for word. She had studied every line nonstop since her agent had called with the good news. It was her first Broadway audition and her entire family had helped her to prepare. Her older sister helped her choreograph a dance, her father improvised with her by playing the part of Grandpa at the dinner table, and her little brother listened to her read her lines. No one was more constant in helping Emma realize her thespian ambitions than her mother, though. Mom was the one who accompanied Emma to her piano, voice, dance, and drama lessons each weekday after school. She went to every audition and performance with Emma, and Emma wished with all her heart that Mom was here with her now.3Emma appreciated her mother's constant companionship and support of her acting career. Her mother was always present backstage at the Dutch Apple Dinner Theater where Emma was currently starring in Annie on Friday and Saturday nights. Mom was the driving force behind her daughter's acting career, but she refused to drive in New York City. The big city frightened Mrs. Abrams and made her jittery. Since she was already nervous about Emma's big audition, Mrs. Abrams thought it best if she just stayed home. Emma tried to behave like a grown-up when her mother told her she wouldn't be going, but inside Emma felt panicky and alone.4Emma's father continued to navigate through the heavy traffic streaming into the city. As the skyline of New York City came into view, Emma started to cry. She knew she should have begged her mother to come with her but now it was too late! Her father looked into the rearview mirror and said, "Wow, honey! If you can do that during the audition, you're a shoo-in." He was genuinely impressed and didn't realize that her tears were real. Emma stared out the window, feeling sorry for herself.5Emma watched her dad hand his car keys to the parking attendant. They walked in silence for several blocks, with Emma holding her father's arm. She wanted to ask her father to come in to the audition with her, but she knew he'd be uncomfortable around a bunch of stage mothers. Emma soon found herself being escorted into a crowded lobby. She waved good-bye to her father and disappeared inside the theater.6When she emerged from the audition several hours later, Emma was exhausted but triumphant. "I don't ever want Mom to come to an audition where I have to cry again!" she declared as they left the theater together.7Knowing his daughter's flair for the dramatic, Mr. Abrams quickly said, "Now don't be angry with your mWhich of the following would be the BEST summary of Emma Finds a Way?A.Emma goes to an acting audition in New York City with her father.
