Zane appreciated his dad’s offer to help, but he wanted to do it himself.
Tanner’s friends agreed with him: It was time to confront the bully.
When Rachel wanted to talk, she talked nonstop, but right now, she was thoughtful.
THIS MIGHT NOT BE CORRECT THIS JUST MADE THE MOST SENSE TO ME SORRY IF ITS WRONG I APOLOGISE SINCERELY!!
Answer:
I think the answer would be
Zane appreciated his dad’s offer to help, but he wanted to do it himself.
Explanation:
I believe it shows that Zane is independent and wants to try to do this by himself because if he can he will feel acomplished and happy/ proud of himself for being able to do it without any help.
This is a lil bit more like me:
Maybe Zane also was like if I can do this great but if I mess it up even more I have no one to be mad at except myself.
This would show that Zane doesnt want to hurt peoples feelings by getting mad at them.
It took a while to get used to my new names. I wondered if I shouldn't correct my teachers and new friends. But my mother argued that it didn't matter. "You know what your friend Shakespeare said, 'A rose by any other name would smell as sweet." My family had gotten into the habit of calling any famous author "my friend" because I had begun to write poems and stories in English class.
—“Names/Nombres,”
Julia Alvarez
Which is the most likely reason that Julia does not correct her teachers when they say her name incorrectly?
It is too much trouble.
Her family encourages her not to.
Her name is too hard to pronounce.
She likes the names the teachers use.
Answer:
I haven't read the whole story yet, but from what I have read here I believe it is B.) Her family encourages her not to.
Explanation:
The most likely reason that Julia does not correct her teachers when they say her name incorrectly is because her family encourages her not to. So the correct option is B.
Her mother claims in the paragraph that it is irrelevant how her name is pronounced since, to paraphrase Shakespeare, "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet." This implies that Julia's family gives greater importance to the meaning of her name than to how it is pronounced.
The paragraph also notes Julia's family calling any well-known author "my friend" as Julia has started composing poetry and short stories in English class. This demonstrates how her family emphasizes the value of the individual rather than the pronunciation of their name, taking a more relaxed and accommodating attitude to names. So the correct option is B.

The metaphor, "Milk of human kindness" mean to be caring and compassionate to other people. This could be a universal theme because anyone can be kind to a stranger in need. People in China can care for someone, people in England can care for someone else, even people in Alaska can be caring for a stranger.
In " The Convict and The Bishop," the bishop helped and defended Jean Valjean whom he didn't even know. While everybody else drove him out, the bishop tended to him. He gave Jean a bed to sleep in, a bed and he gave him comfort when nobody else would. This shows that people can be nice to others in need.
In " The Strangers That Came to Town," when Andy and Tom made mischief, they really hurt the Duviches. Thier father made them repay the family by catching 60 fish. When they gave the fish to the Duviches they were overjoyed and invited Andy and Tom's family to eat the fish.
