Unless you are prepared to have sore fingers, wear some gloves the first time you try flint knapping.

First, you have to find the right kind of rock for your hard hammer. Then, you have to learn how to strike the flint correctly.

Don’t strike straight down on the rock. Instead, try hitting the rock with a glancing blow so that you “push” the hammer away from you.

In other words, you should never try flint knapping without wearing safety glasses.

Which sentence supports the theme that after the initial excitement of new love wears off, dissatisfaction can grow
adapted from Madame Bovary
by Gustave Flaubert
She thought, sometimes, that, after all, this was the happiest time of her life—the honeymoon, as people called it to taste the full sweetness of
it, it would have been necessary doubtless to fly to those lands with thundering names where the days after marriage are full of
laziness most pleasant... It seemed to her that certain places on earth must bring happiness, as a plant peculiar to the soil, and that cannot
thrive elsewhere. Why could not she lean over balconies in Swiss chalets, or enshrine her melancholy in a Scotch cottage, with a husband
dressed in a black velvet coat with long tails, and thin shoes, a pointed hat and frills? Perhaps she would have liked to confide all these things to
someone. But how tell an undefinable uneasiness, variable as the clouds, unstable as the winds? Words failed her--the opportunity, the
courage
If Charles had but wished it, if he had guessed it, if his look had but once met her thought, it seemed to her that a sudden generosity would have
gone out from her heart, as the fruit falls from a tree when shaken by a hand. But as the familiarity of their life became deeper, the greater
became the gulf that separated her from him.
Charles's conversation was commonplace as a street pavement, and everyone's ideas trooped through it in their everyday garb, without exciting
emotion, laughter, or thought. He had never had the curiosity, he said, while he lived at Rouen, to go to the theater to see the actors from Paris.
He could neither swim, nor fence, nor shoot, and one day he could not explain some term of horsemanship to her that she had come across in a
novel

Again I was faced with choices I did not like, but I finally agreed. After all, my hate for my father was not so great and urgent as my hate for the orphan home. My mother held to her idea and one night a week or so later I found myself standing in a room in a frame house. My father and a strange woman were sitting before a bright fire that blazed in a grate. My mother and I were standing about six feet away, as though we were afraid to approach them any closer.

Wright explains his difficult choice in this excerpt in order to show that he was

darker, and harder than lead. Pencils used to cost about a nickel. Now, each one costs closer to 20 cents. But it is still a bargain, for one pencil can
