Write a story on,”You discovered a magic pencil while you were traveling with your friends”.
Answer:
Story writing about a magic pencil found while traveling with friends.
Explanation:
Once during our summer vacations, a group of us decided to travel to the hills to escape the big cities and the heat. And as planned, we were on our way by the very next day.
Once we got to the resort, the scenery was something out of a fairytale. Lush green trees, mountains, clear skies- everything was as one would expect nature to be. It was so different from the big cities full of only concrete and noise. Here, everything was serene and you could clearly hear the birds sing.
We went trekking along the path to the forest, a familiar path for the tribal people living in the area. It was during one such leisure walks that I came upon a pencil, normal-looking but attractive in a way that it makes you wonder why it looks so antique. And as it was old looking, I decided that it would make a good souvenir and decided to take it with me.
One day, while taking down details of places we were to visit, I couldn't find any pen to use so I impulsively reach for the pencil, without giving it much thought. Nothing happened when I write down the words. But, as my fingers started doodling and trying to sketch, I was given the shock of my life when the apple that I drew emerged from the paper. Still in shock, I decided to test it again, this time, drawing a leaf. It immediately came real and it was then that I realized maybe this was a magic pencil.
I did not want to tell my friends about it or else they will either make fun of me or try to take it away from me. So, hiding the pencil, I tried my best to act normal. I didn't have the chance to try out the pencil for the whole trip. And on the very last day of our trip, I thought I might as well see if it still works. And sure, it did. Still unsure what to do with it, I then decided to take it with me to the city.
But unfortunately, I lost the pencil during the train ride, or maybe someone mistook it for a normal pencil and just used it and forgot to put it back. Whatever has happened is in the past, but I will, for sure, remember the experience I had in using the pencil. It was the one personal memory that will remain with me for the rest of my life.

Answer:
Explanation:
A mosque is a muslim place of worship, and I know this because it is a place that "refugees... built over the years... place to say their prayers."
The word is Mosque
A mosque is a Muslim place of worship.
From the context of this sentence, we know that the mosque is talking about a place because it talks about "built over the years" then it mentions "people across the border" and "refugees" which hints at the Muslim religion and "a place to say their prayers" tells us that it is a building/temple for that religion.

Read this excerpt from Anne Frank Remembered. He didn't get angry, he just shrugged and shook his head at me. "Go upstairs to my boss." He told me the room number and continued to shake his head. Determined not to let my knees tremble, I forced myself up the steps to the room where I had been directed. I knocked on the door. No one answered, so I opened it. As the door swung open, I saw a round table filled with high-ranking Nazis. Their caps were on the table, and in the middle of the table was a radio. The radio was playing an English broadcast. Right away, I recognized the BBC. All their eyes burned into me. I realized that I had accidentally witnessed them committing a crime of treason, for which the penalty was death.

Give me all the character traits of the character Martha and Pam from the short story "Martha Martha"
Answer and Explanation:
Pam is a middle-aged, divorced real estate agent. This shows that Pam has some experiences in her life, as a person who has been through a lot and it seems that she is still dealing with these things, facing the problems of the past. Pam knows a lot of people, because of her work, she seems more thoughtful and rational than Martha and therefore, some people may think she is a flat character, but pam is quite profound, mainly in relation to her thoughts.
Martha, on the other hand, is a younger character and seems inexperienced, but we know that she went through something very serious and is running away from it. She is very careful with the answers she gives and the way she gets it and it shows that she is afraid to reveal who she really is, as this refers to the situation she is trying to escape from, Martha seems like a deeper character.
Drag each tile to the correct box. Arrange the events based on when they happen in the plot of "Bernice Bobs Her Hair" by F. Scott Fitzgerald. On her way to talk to her aunt, Bernice overhears Aunt Josephine and Marjorie's conversation about her in which Marjorie insults and complains about Bernice. Marjorie, Warren, and the whole crowd watch as the barber chops off Bernice’s long hair, bobbing it in an ugly fashion. While Bernice is in the women's dressing room fixing her hair, Otis Ormonde jokes with Warren and his friends about hitting her on the head with a club when she steps out. During breakfast, Bernice complains to Marjorie about her insults and insensitive behavior. On the verge of tears, she then bluffs about returning home. Bernice enviously watches as Marjorie tosses her own blond hair in front of the mirror and begins to twist it into two long braids, looking like a delicate painting of some Saxon princess. ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓
Answer:
This is the correct sequence of events:
1. While Bernice is in the women's dressing room fixing her hair, Otis Ormonde jokes with Warren and his friends about hitting her on the head with a club when she steps out.
2. On her way to talk to her aunt, Bernice overhears Aunt Josephine and Marjorie's conversation about her in which Marjorie insults and complains about Bernice.
3. During breakfast, Bernice complains to Marjorie about her insults and insensitive behavior. On the verge of tears, she then bluffs about returning home.
4. Marjorie, Warren, and the whole crowd watch as the barber chops off Bernice’s long hair, bobbing it in an ugly fashion.
5. Bernice enviously watches as Marjorie tosses her own blond hair in front of the mirror and begins to twist it into two long braids, looking like a delicate painting of some Saxon princess.
Explanation:
By F. Scott Fitzgerald, the short story "Bernice Bobs Her Hair" is set at a time when bobbed hair for women was still seen as immoral by most of society.
The main character is Bernice, whose antagonist is her own cousin, Marjorie. While Bernice is visiting, Marjorie is forced by her mother to take her cousin with her to the dances and parties she attends. However, while Marjorie is popular among boys and girls, Bernice is seen as boring and spoiled. During one of the dances, Otis Ormonde jokes with Warren and his friends about hitting her on the head with a club when she steps out.
Eventually, Marjorie grows tired of Bernice and complains to her mother about it. Bernice overhears their conversation, feels deeply offended, and the next morning tries to confront Marjorie about it during breakfast. The conflict between them rises until Bernice decides to ask her cousin for help in order to become more popular.
Marjorie does help Bernice but, at the same time, sets a trap for her. She teaches Bernice to go around saying she will get her hair bobbed, which is successful in attracting everyone's attention. However, when Warren begins to like Bernice, Marjorie gets jealous. She corners Bernice in such a way that she (Bernice) ends up agreeing to having her hair cut. They all watch it as her beautiful black hair is bobbed.
Marjorie decides to apologize, insincerely, of course. While doing so, she braids her own long blond hair into beautiful braids as Bernice watches, enviously.
In the end, Bernice cuts Marjorie's braid while her cousin is asleep as revenge for having been deceived.
