What is the theme for the story, "For the Birds?"
When Philip got home from school, he noticed that the birdhouse he'd made had fallen off the maple tree in the front yard.

He picked it up and looked at the tree. The hook he'd used to hang the birdhouse had come loose in the wood, pulled down by the weight. Philip removed the hook and screwed the pointy end into a new spot in the branch. The wood seemed to grip it tightly. Then Philip put the birdhouse back on the hook.

The next morning, Philip saw that it had fallen again. He was late for school, but he couldn't just leave it there. He pulled out the hook and screwed it deeper into the wood. Then he carefully hung the birdhouse again.

When Philip got home that afternoon, he saw that the birdhouse was still hanging. A blue jay was even perched at the entrance. Philip beamed.

Suddenly, a breeze shook the birdhouse, and it fell onto the grass yet again. The bluejay shot away like an arrow.

This time Philip brought the birdhouse inside. He threw away the hook without a second thought. Digging through the junk drawer, he found an extra-long shoelace. He tied it around the birdhouse. Then he brought the birdhouse outside and tied it to a branch. He tugged on it to make sure it would stay. It seemed pretty secure.

The birdhouse was still hanging the next morning. And the next week. A week after that, Philip saw signs of a bird's nest inside. The birdhouse was finally a home.

If one way of doing something keeps failing, try another way.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

If one way of doing something keeps failing, try another way.

Explanation:

The theme of a story refers to the message that the author wants to relay to the readers. It is the lesson that one can take away from the story, that one can learn after reading the story.

In the given story "For the Birds", the author shows Philip trying to help maintain a birdhouse. Even though his plans to keep the birdhouse remain on the branch, his acts didn't work. But he did not give up and kept on trying until he succeeded.

Thus, the theme of the story is that if one thing doesn't work, try another way.

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.

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!
