Write an essay explaining why it is important to keep the promises you make
Explanation:
When we don’t keep a promise to someone, it may make the person think that we don’t value them and that we’ve chosen to put something or someone ahead of our commitment to them. Even if it’s a small promise, the person we break that promise to now believes that they cannot rely on us or count on us for anything. Words are literal building blocks of your existence and even shape and reflect your integrity. Since we know words hold that much power, we need to always have positive intentions and never lie or say something that we won’t or don’t live up to, which includes making a promise that you intend to keep, under any circumstances.
Keeping a promise shows to the person you’re in the relationship with, whether it be a friend, schoolmate, colleague, husband, wife, child or other, that you’re an honest person and won’t try to hide anything from them, and that your intentions with them never have to be questioned. Some of us may spend so much time making promises to our loved ones, and then when we can’t follow through with them, they just end up being hurt and we feel guilty because we couldn’t make our words turn into action. Sometimes it’s out of choice, which is a very selfish act; forgetfulness, again, selfish; or maybe it’s because we just can’t follow through with it, though in the beginning, we almost knew for a fact we could.
Making false promises- a promise that is made by someone with no intent to carry it out or just to plain deceive someone- is something that could end the trust in your relationship, because that is just as bad as lying to them deliberately and it hurts the other person, especially when it’s a big promise. Even small ones hurt. That’s why we need to be aware of everything we do. We have to make our “yes” actually mean “yes” and our “no” actually mean “no”. Any situation we are faced with where we have to make a serious promise or even making a small one, no matter how big or small the promise is, we need to be sure we are absolutely positive that we will carry it out so that person can have our full trust and know that they can rely on us for anything. That is what builds a strong, healthy and happy relationship.

Write a continuation of what Abigail’s life would be like after she has left Salem. What is she doing? Does she feel any remorse for the damage that she caused in Salem?
Answer:
Although Betty Parris later married and raised a family in Sudbury, Mass, there are no records indicating what happened to Abigail Williams after the Salem Witch Trials ended. “Abigail Williams, haunted to the end, apparently died before the end of 1697 if not sooner, no older than seventeen.”
In many ways, the character of Abigail Williams can be considered a one-dimensional villain. All throughout the play while she's wrecking diabolical havoc on the community, she doesn't express any remorse for the damage she's caused and the lives she's inexplicitly ruined.

Write an essay explaining one way that people can work together to make a
difference.
People can work together to make a difference if everyone has the same common goal. Motivation is an important factor when getting things done. When multiple minds come together people can achieve even more than just one person doing it alone. When people work together that's when change is made.
There are many issues that need multiple people to help make it better. Such as racism, pollution, education system, etc. These are all issues that need a "team effort" to fix. People can make a difference, the hardest part is starting.
We are often told to not pick up things off the ground because doing so is rather improper. Aluminum soda and beer cans lay to the side of sidewalks and even in yards of local businesses. What would it take for someone to just pick up after themselves? This idea that waiting for someone else to take care of the problem can only work for so long. People should be more inspired to clean up mess whether they have made it or not.
When cleaning up garbage scattered around, you and others around you will notice. A whole strip of grass would look completely different with trash scattered all over it. If this were to be cleaned, it shows that there is someone out there that cares enough. If you regularly clean up areas, people will notice. Those people might be inspired to keep their community clean as well.
In conclusion, you can make impactful changes around you that you and others are bound to notice. When you take a trash bag and some rubber gloves, you can change the area that you live in. Work as a community to keep your local businesses and roadways pristine. Anyone that happens to arrive in your town will notice your community's ability to collaborate and take care of the town they live in.

“Sleeping”
By Katharine Weber
She would not have to change a diaper, they said. In fact, she would not have to do anything at all. Mrs. Winter said that Charles would not wake while she and Mr. Winter were out at the movies. He was a very sound sleeper, she said. No need to have a bottle for him or anything. Before the Winters left they said absolutely please not to look in on the sleeping baby because the door squeaked too loudly.
Harriet had never held a baby, except for one brief moment, when she was about six, when Mrs. Antler next door had surprisingly bestowed on her the tight little bundle that was their new baby, Andrea. Harriet had sat very still and her arms had begun to ache from the tension by the time Mrs. Antler took back her baby. Andy was now a plump seven-year-old, older than Harriet had been when she held her that day.
After two hours of reading all of the boring mail piled neatly on a desk in the bedroom and looking through a depressing wedding album filled with photographs of dressed-up people in desperate need of orthodonture (Harriet had just ended two years in braces and was very conscious of malocclusion issues) while flipping channels on their television, Harriet turned the knob on the baby's door very tentatively, but it seemed locked. She didn’t dare turn the knob with more pressure because what if she made a noise and woke him and he started to cry?
She stood outside the door and tried to hear the sound of a baby breathing but she couldn’t hear anything through the door but the sound of the occasional car that passed by on the street outside. She wondered what Charles looked like. She wasn’t even sure how old he was. Why had she agreed to baby-sit when Mr. Winter approached her at the swim club? She had never seen him before, and it was flattering that he took her for being capable, as if just being a girl her age automatically qualified her as a baby-sitter.
By the time the Winters came home, Harriet had eaten most of the M & M's in the glass bowl on their coffee table: first all the blue ones, then the red ones ,then all the green ones, and so on, leaving, in the end, only the yellow.
They gave her too much money and didn’t ask her about anything. Mrs. Winter seemed to be waiting for her to leave before checking on the baby. Mr. Winter drove her home in silence. When they reached her house he said, My wife. He hesitated, then he said, You understand, don't you? and Harriet answered Yes without looking at him or being sure what they were talking about although she did really know what he was telling her and then she got out of his car and watched him drive away.
Writing Prompt
You have just read “Sleeping” by Katharine Weber in which a young girl is asked to babysit a child that she will never see. In an essay, narrate what happens after Mr. Winter drops Harriet off at home. Be sure to use what you have learned about the setting, characters, and plot of the passage as you write your continuation.
Your writing will be scored based on the development of ideas, organization of writing, and language conventions of grammar, usage, and mechanics.

Lewis and Clark felt assured that they wouldn't be attached by Native Americans on their trip. why?
Answer:
They thought that the Native Americans would be too preoccupied to bother with them. They also had many men and weapons.
Explanation:
Lewis and Clark's expedition required many men and weapons. Therefore, it would be easy for them to scare off Native Americans. Plus, not many Native Americans had ever attacked tourists/explorers. Lewis and Clark's expedition would not require them to bother the Native Americans or even come in contact with them.
