Old Man Warner snorted. "Pack of crazy fools," he said. "Listening to the young folks, nothing's good enough for them. Next thing you know, they'll be wanting to go back to living in caves, nobody work anymore, live that way for a while. Used to be a saying about 'Lottery in June, corn be heavy soon.' First thing you know, we'd all be eating stewed chickweed and acorns. There's always been a lottery," he added petulantly. "Bad enough to see young Joe Summers up there joking with everybody."

Narrative Writing Write a story of about 250 -300 words which includes the line "It was the same bus I got onto every day, but that day, as I sat down, I sensed something was different.
Answer:
I woke up and it was a rainy day. It had never rained where I live, I didn't own the appropriate clothes for a rainy day so I wore my usual clothing. Every day I did the same thing. I woke up, had breakfast, dressed up, took the bus, worked, went back home, slept. I was tired of the routine and when I was falling asleep I wished I had a different day for a change. When I woke up that day, I felt my wish had come true. It was raining. I waited for the bus and when it arrived I had a strange feeling. It was the same bus I got onto every day, but that day, as I sat down, I sensed something was different.
After a few minutes, I realized the bus driver was taking another road. I wondered if I had taken the wrong bus, but I checked and it was the right one. When I was about to ask the bus driver what was he doing, he say 'we've arrived', everyone got off the bus and I followed them. I never imagined seeing something like what I saw when I wished I had a different day. There were aliens waiting for us in the bus stop!! No one looked surprised, I was shocked. When I tried to talk to the people who was next to me, they all looked at me as they didn’t understand what I was saying. I freaked out and that’s when I woke up. For real this time. I was dreaming!!! I looked at the window with a rare feeling about what I had just dreamt and it was raining...
Explanation:
To complete this exercise, you have to write a story using the line given. I wrote about a person that is tired of the routine so she wishes her days could be different. It's important to use the line given, whether you use it at the beginning, middle or even end of the story, it just has to make sense with the context of the story.

What is being compared or contrasted in this excerpt?
A comparison between the power of a star and the power
of a whirlpool is being made.
Acontrast between the power of a star and the power of a
whirlpool is being made.
A comparison between the power of a black hole and the
power of a whirlpool is being made.
A contrast between the power of a black hole and the
power of a whirlpool is being made.
This question is missing the excerpt. I have found the complete question online. Since the options are the same, I will omit them:
Read the excerpt from A Black Hole is NOT a Hole.
However, near a black hole, gases and dust and stars encounter its tug. Some things may be hurtling by so fast they won't get pulled into the black hole. Other things may not be as swift. They will be drawn in.
Closer and closer, the tugging force gets stronger and stronger. Close enough, the black hole no longer acts like a whirlpool.
With a whirlpool, there's always a fast-enough fish—or a fast-enough something—that moves so quickly it won't be pulled all the way into the center.
Not so with a black hole! Within a certain distance the black hole's power is so strong, nothing is fast enough to zip away.
What is being compared or contrasted in this excerpt?
Answer:
The excerpt presents:
D. A contrast between the power of a black hole and the power of a whirlpool is being made.
Explanation:
First, we can see the excerpt is mentioning the characteristics of a black hole and of a whirlpool. With this in mind, we can eliminate options A and B, which mention "the power of a star" instead of "the power of a black hole."
Second, we need to decide whether the author is comparing or contrasting. Comparing means looking for similarities. Contrasting means looking for differences. Let's take a look at the lines below:
"With a whirlpool, there's always a fast-enough fish—or a fast-enough something—that moves so quickly it won't be pulled all the way into the center.
Not so with a black hole! Within a certain distance the black hole's power is so strong, nothing is fast enough to zip away."
The author is clearly contrasting the two. The difference between them is being explained here: it is possible to escape a whirlpool, but it isn't possible to escape a black hole. Therefore, letter D is the correct one.

It's D, I promise

Explanation:
Remember, only put apostrophes on the object when it possesses (has) something.
For plural objects, only put one apostrophe and one letter S, like this: puppies' (not puppies's).
Regarding last names ending with the letter S, both S' and S'S are correct; it just depends on what your teacher prefers.
Example: Jones' or Jones's are both correct.

Answer:
Day 1: Ben Ross shows his students a documentary on the Holocaust. He' upset when he realizes that his students have questions about the Holocaust that he can't answer – he wishes he could give them more.
Day 2: Ben decides to try an experiment that will help his students understand how it was possible for the Nazis to gain control without someone stopping them.
And the experiment begins: he starts by showing them how they can be more disciplined by adjusting their posture and following certain rules. The students already love Ben and they seem to enjoy the exercise.
Day 3: Ben's students want more of what went down the day before, so he goes along with it. He creates a group called The Wave, complete with a logo, mottos, and a salute. One student, David Collins, thinks The Wave can help Gor don High's lo sing football team, and he starts teaching his teammates about the rules of the group.
David's gf, Laurie Saunders, is kind of excited about The Wave, too. But, when she tells her parents about it, her mom freak out and Laurie wonders if she has a point. In fact, something about The Wave just creeps her out. (Hey, Shmoop is feeling a little creeped out, too.) Mean while, Ben's wi-fe Christy is also concerned about The Wave and she hopes her hus-band isn't getting into something he can't control.
Day 4: Laurie and David get into a tiff on the way to school when she voices her doubts about The Wave. In class that day, Ben gives his students Wave membership cards, which designate some students as "monitors" who are supposed to report Wave members who break the rules. (Uh oh.) He also tells his students that they need to start taking action, action to benefit The Wave. He orders them to recruit new members. (Double uh oh.)
Laurie is increasingly doubtful about The Wave, but her friends get angry when she mentions it. Plus, The Wave seems to be really helping Robert Billings, the class lo.ser. Now that they have The Wave, students accept Robert and he's actually becoming a leader. So it can't be all bad, right? Right?!
On this day, Ben realizes how big The Wave is becoming and he hopes he has it under control.
Day 5: A lot goes down on this day.
Laurie, editor of the school newspaper, gets an anonymous letter from a student complaining that Wave members are bull-ying other students to try to make them jo.in The Wa.ve. Not good.
Robert Billings asks Ben if he can be Ben's bo.dy.guard – Ben agrees. Um?
The pep-rally for Saturday's football game becomes a Wa.ve rally, and some two hundred new members jo.in. Yik.es.
When Laurie refuses to go to the rally, David breaks up with her. So, she hangs out in the publication office of the school paper with other staff members while the Wa.ve members rally. Laurie's had enough: she decides to investigate The Wave and write an expo.sé about it for the paper.
Day 6: At the football game, Laurie tries to go into the blea.chers to talk to her friend Amy, but is told that she can't go up unless she gives The W.ave salute. She refuses to give the salute and just heads on out. (Pretty cool how she stands by what she believes in, even with intense peer pressure.)
Day 7: On Sunday, Laurie and the school paper staff have an emergency mee.tin.g to flesh out their special issue on The Wave.
Day 8: The special issue is published, which inspires many more students to come forward with bad stories about The Wave. Ben is in big trouble with the principal and many parents, and he knows he has to find a way to stop this mess before things get worse.
After a creepy experience after hours for Laurie in school, David begs Laurie to stop criticizing The Wave. She refuses and he gets physical with her, throwing her to the ground.. Immediately, David realizes what he's done. The Wave has made him forget who he really is and what he really cares about. He and Laurie make up (that was quick!) and go to Ben's house to beg him to stop The Wave.
