formal definition of a story is “a short account of an amusing, interesting, or telling incident,

whether real of fictitious” (OED Online). The dominant stories of a particular group can

Read the following passage:
"Most people picture large, frightening events when they think of climate change: uncontrolled wildfires, severe storms, or deadly
food and water shortages. Its small effects on the quiet normalcy of everyday life will be equally devastating, however. Current
research says we are at risk of losing cofee to climate change.
"Scientists at the Royal Botanic Gardens warn that more than 60 percent of coffee species are in danger of extinction. Coffe is
thrcatened because it has strict temperature and rainfall needs, and its habitat is shrinking due to shifing weather patterns and
deforestation. Plant scientists say citizens, corporations, and lawmakers must act now to establish new forest preserves and protect
fragile species and their environments.
"Climate change skeptics and industry spokesmen say these wories are overblown fear-mongering because most of the plants in
trouble are wild species, not the farmed varieties used by coffee makers. The scientists respond that the wild species will be needed if
the crops used now can't cope with warmer and drier cồnditions and the spread of discases and pests that are predicted.

2) Climate change is dangerous and depressing.

manager would interrupt him again. "How can ice cream
change the world?" Finn thought. That was definitely one of those silly interview questions you hear about. Of
course, thinking about it, Finn remembered an incident at
a summer camp years before when ice cream may have
done just that. Finn had been returning to his cabin from
a softball game when he came upon a young camper
sitting alone on the steps. There were tears in the boy's
eyes, so Finn stopped. The boy missed his family, he told
Finn, and he had no friends at camp. Finn comforted the
little crier and took him to the camp store, buying him an
ice cream and promising that everything would be all
right. Finn introduced the boy to some of the younger
campers he knew, and then he delivered the boy back to
his cabin, cone in hand and a smile on his face. In
retrospect Finn couldn't help but think that maybe that
one ice cream cone really did change a world.


Re-write this paragraph from the perspective of the young
camper. Be sure to include descriptive details to explain how the boy felt during his encounter with Finn.

A student is writing a letter to the local center of government. Read the draft of the student's letter and complete the task that follows.

Last week, our school worked on the "Adopt a Highway" project on County Highway 247, where several of us students picked up trash on the side of the road. When we were done, I noticed that the next several miles of highway were littered with tons of garbage. I believe that the city could expand this project by allowing people to perform community service to pay down fines and tickets by picking up trash. This would help to beautify the highway that leads into the next town, and perhaps from there, other people will work to beautify the rest of the state. Please consider allowing people to perform community service by picking up the trash that litters County Highway 287. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

can you help me please​

read the poem:
Come up from the fields father, here’s a letter from our Pete,
And come to the front door mother, here’s a letter from thy
dear son.

Lo, ’tis autumn,
Lo, where the trees, deeper green, yellower and redder,
Cool and sweeten Ohio’s villages, with leaves fluttering in the
moderate wind,
Where apples ripe in the orchards hang and grapes on the
trellis’d vines,
(Smell you the smell of the grapes on the vines?
Smell you the buckwheat where the bees were lately buzzing?)

Above all, lo, the sky so calm, so transparent after the rain, and with
wondrous clouds,
Below too, all calm, all vital and beautiful, and the farm
prospers well.

Down in the fields all prospers well,
But now from the fields come father, come at the daughter’s call,
And come to the entry mother, to the front door come right away.

Fast as she can she hurries, something ominous, her steps trembling,
She does not tarry to smooth her hair nor adjust her cap.

Open the envelope quickly,
O this is not our son’s writing, yet his name is sign’d,
O a strange hand writes for our dear son, O stricken
mother’s soul!

All swims before her eyes, flashes with black, she catches the
main words only,
Sentences broken, gunshot wound in the breast, cavalry
skirmish, taken to hospital,
At present low, but will soon be better.

Ah now the single figure to me,
Amid all teeming and wealthy Ohio with all its cities and
farms,
Sickly white in the face and dull in the head, very faint,
By the jamb of a door leans.

Grieve not so, dear mother, (the just-grown daughter speaks
through her sobs,
The little sisters huddle around speechless and dismay’d,)
See, dearest mother, the letter says Pete will soon be better.

Alas poor boy, he will never be better, (nor maybe needs to be
better, that brave and simple soul,)
While they stand at home at the door he is dead already,
The only son is dead.

But the mother needs to be better,
She with thin form presently drest in black,
By day her meals untouch’d, then at night fitfully sleeping,
often waking,
In the midnight waking, weeping, longing with one deep
longing,
O that she might withdraw unnoticed, silent from life escape
and withdraw,
To follow, to seek, to be with her dear dead son.
