is this story fiction, nonfiction, drama, or poetry

Why is it so quiet? Why can't I move? And why is it so dark? I try to recall where I am, but I cannot remember. Blackness surrounds me.
I hear a familiar voice that makes my heart flutter like a thousand butterflies. It is the voice of my friend, Maddy. She visits her grandparents here on the Gulf of Mexico every summer. She usually brings me crumbs, but today, I cannot smell anything except the sour smell of oil.
Her voice sounds worried, different from the usual cheerful greeting that she calls me with every day at dusk. I try to turn towards her, but I can't move very well. My feet feel mired as if in quicksand.
I hear her come closer. Her words help me understand that something has happened to my home.
"Oh, grandma! What is all this? They are all covered in it! It's black. Ugh! The smell is so strong I can't stand it." Maddy's tears stream down her face, mingling with mine. I hear her crying, but all is dark, like a moonless night. Where is the smiling sun? I try to stretch out to feel the warmth, but my wings do not respond.
Dazed, I call out to my friends hoping they will find me in the blackness, but everything is so still. I hear nothing, except for Maddy's desperation. Her sobs, uncontrollable.
"Go get some towels, Maddy. Run!" Her grandma tells her, a quiet urgency in her voice.
"Hey little one," grandma coos as she bends over me. I can feel her breath on my head. "We've got you and you are going to do all we can for you." All they can? I hear Maddy's hurried footsteps and feel the towel's softness enveloping me as she picks me up in her arms. She is gentle, her sobs quieting as she takes me to her home, seemingly miles and miles from my nest along the shoreline.
I hear the phone ring. I hear the news on the television.
"Spill...oil...negligence...BP...blame..."
"What are we going to do?"
I hear the door banging and neighbors' voices, shrill and urgent, coming in and out of the house. All of the sounds tell me that the emergency is intensifying.
I still cannot see anything. Maybe it is good that I cannot see. If I could, I might see my home, blackened with the oil of a mishandled well deep in the ocean. I would see my friends, covered in slick crudeness. I would desperately observe the choking, billowing smoke, polluting the Gulf sky, my home. I would see my family unable to fly through the air, unable to dive into the ocean for the delicious meals we used to find there. I fear our fish are no more; they are stuck in the depths of the black, watery grave.
What are we going to do? What are we going to do? I hope the humans will do something to bring light to all of the blackness.
I hear Maddy, making sweet, soothing sounds as she begins to clean my feathers gently. I hear that sound often. It's the sound humans make on the beach when their babies are frightened.

In what ways is it possible to resist on behalf of others? What problems might this pose?​

Answers

There is a great deal of research on the social determinants of health. Most of it points to three overarching factors:

Income inequality. Once a country has reached the point of development where most deaths come not from infectious diseases (tuberculosis, dysentery, cholera, malaria, flu, pneumonia, etc.), but from chronic diseases (heart disease, diabetes, cancer), the economic and social equality within the society is a greater determinant of death rates and average lifespan than the country’s position with regard to others. The United States, for instance, lags behind Japan, Sweden, Canada, and many other less affluent countries in the life expectancy of its citizens. The difference seems to be the size of the gap between the most and least affluent segments of the society.

Social connectedness. Many studies indicate that “belonging” – whether to a large extended family, a network of friends, a social or volunteer organization, or a faith community – is related to longer life and better health, as well as to community participation.

Sense of personal or collective efficacy. This refers to people’s sense of control over their lives. People with a higher sense or stronger history of efficacy tend to live longer, maintain better health, and participate more vigorously in civic life.

Answers

Answer:

Foxface.

Explanation:

Suzanne Collins' "The Hunger Games" is set in a dystopian society where 'volunteers' from the twelve Districts are made to play a game to 'win' provisions for their respective districts. The story deals with themes of survival, inequality, appearance, reality, etc.

Chapter 16 of the book is where Katniss Everdeen and Rue work together to try to destroy the Career's pyramid of supplies. While Rue distracts the Careers away from the pyramid, Katniss was thinking how to best get to the supplies without getting hurt. It was then that she saw a girl tribute from District 5, whom she nicknamed "Foxface" come to the pyramid and steal the supplies. Then, Katniss realized the pyramid is surrounded by active landmines. So, she began targeting apples in the pyramid and the falling apples set off the bombs, sending Katniss backwards from the explosion.

I would like to have this problem corrected in the next billing cycle. As you know, I have been a loyal customer for three years, and I have always paid my bill on time. I am sure that you will respond immediately, as you have in the past. I hope to continue as your customer in the future.

Answers

Answer:

I would like to have this problem corrected in the next billing cycle.

Explanation:

The above sentence is the correct sentence that conveys the main idea in the passage.

The passage is more likely a letter of complain or a query that is urging and pleading with the electrical company to visit and rectify/correct the problem he has in his electrical bill.

Everything the writer wrote here all moves to the one direction - the correcting of the electric bill problem. The writer started by stating the actual problem and followed it up by the expected action he wants the electrical company to take in solving his problem.
