It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming.

—“The Man in the Arena,”
Theodore Roosevelt

Question 6(Multiple Choice Worth 5 points)
(MC)

Read these paragraphs and answer the question that follows:


In 2008, more than one million American students gave nearly 20 million service hours to their communities. They made a difference in people’s lives and learned some important life lessons in the process. Organizations, including schools, are actively promoting service for all citizens as a way to be involved, help others, and improve themselves.

Service is helping other people and being active in your community. For example, one group of teens planted a community garden with their friends. They grow a variety of vegetables. The garden requires regular care. The teens donate the produce to a local soup kitchen. Workers there use the produce to help feed people in the community. By tending the garden and donating their produce, the teens are actively helping make life a bit better for others in their community.

Service is valuable in ways that cannot be measured in dollars. People volunteer or serve others without expecting money or gifts in return. Service is not about earning money. It is not just collecting money to give to a group. It is about action and contributing to the common good. The people who serve as well as those who receive help benefit in many ways that are more important than money or gifts. For example, a soup kitchen provides essential food to people who may otherwise go hungry. The soup kitchen is extremely valuable for those struggling to get enough to eat. Those serving learn about compassion and how helping others can improve life for all.

Millions of Americans are making society better for themselves and for others. They are participating citizens in their community, raising up those who are less fortunate. In return, they become better people who can understand the perspectives and needs of others, which are invaluable and important qualities of good citizens.


What is the main idea of this article excerpt?
Service means helping others in the community.
Service benefits the helpers and those helped.
Service is valuable because it is done for free.
Service requires help with food production.

PLEASE HELP WILL GIVE BRAINLY!!!!!There is Beauty in the Pain:
She rarely makes eye contact. Instead she looks down at the ground because the ground is safer. Unlike people, the ground expects nothing in return. She doesn't have to be ashamed of her past. The ground just excepts her for who she is in this moment. As she sits in the make-shift bar next to me ; she stares down at her drink, and then the ground, then her drink again. "Most people don't get me, " she says, " They ask me questions like, 'What's your problem?' and 'Are you depressed?' Even so, I never respond because I don't feel like explaining myself. I don't think they really care anyway."
Just then, a teenage boy sits down on the opposite side of the make-shift bar, across from her. He's drunk, and says, " Your pretty. Mind "Tell me about it," she says, and walks away. "Would you prefer that I leave too?" I ask. "No," she says without glancing upward, "Though I could use some fresh air. You don't have to come, but you can if you want to." I follow her outside and we sit by the pool in the backyard.
"It's really cold tonight," I said. "Tell me about it," she says maintaining her usual downward gaze. The warm vapor from her breath cuts through the cold air ad bounces off the ground in front of her. "So why are out here with me? I mean wouldn't you rather be inside in the warmth, talking to normal teens, about normal teenager things, like whether or not your going to the next dance?" "I'm out here because I want to be. I'm not normal, and look, I can see my breath, and were in Texas. That's not normal either. Oh, and your wearing jnco's, and so am I- which may have been normal in 1985, but not anymore." "Can I tell you a story?" "I'm listening."
As she speaks, her emotional gaze shifts from the ground, to my eyes, to the moonlit sky, and back to my eyes again. This continues for the duration of her story and every time her eyes meet mine she holds them there a few seconds longer than she did before. I don't interject once. I listen to every word and I accumulate the raw emotion present in her voice and the depth of her eyes. When she finishes, she simply says, "Well, now you think I'm a freak, don't you?" And I k*** her.
We k*** each other, eyes closed, during the loudness of the party. Then we stop. "Why me?" she asks. "Because there is beauty in the pain." what do you believe the moral of the story is? how can i make this story better?

why is this poem the biggest piece of junk on the planet it makes no sense

The right to make my dreams come true,
I ask, nay, I demand of life,
Nor shall fate's deadly contraband
Impede my steps, nor countermand;
Too long my heart against the ground
Has beat the dusty years around,
And now at length I rise! I wake!
And stride into the morning break!

Morning
Canoes are dancing near the shore. The sun is smiling
down. The morning is a gentle hand That wipes away my frown.
The Wind
The wind is cold and strong and cruel. It tells me just what I must do. I wear my mittens and my hat. Well, I ask, now, wouldn’t you? Unsatisfied, it gives a roar Of great
displeasure and demands I put on more and more and more By grabbing me with ice-cold hands. And so I turn and back I go To find a scarf and warmer socks. It claims it must come in with me. I keep it out with chains and locks.

Autumn The breezes kiss the treetops as they pass And make the leaves fall softly to the ground. The branches tremble slightly but no more; A gentle sighing is their only sound. The leaves invite me then to romp and play Among their red and yellow colors bright. I rake them all into a pile and jump, Until the day is chased away by night. I find it odd that autumn comes so late, For one finds so much freshness every day. The air is crisp and clear and full of hope. “A new beginning now!” the breezes say.

How does Tom’s race force him to take extra measures to avoid guilt in the eyes of the jury? Support your analysis with evidence from the text, as well as your own inferences.

We do no pay a fixed amount for electricity, gas or telephone calls irrespective of how much we use. How is it then that some people are still expected to do so in the case of water?

Water meters should therefore be introduced in all regions as soon as it is feasible to do so.
