The Reefs

By Marcella Morris


She clutched her lab work to her side and walked briskly towards school. The snow fell in typical New York flurries, and the ground was still icy from last night’s freeze. Careful not to slip, she climbed the steps and crossed the campus toward the science building.


"What am I doing?" she murmured. Sophie’s worst habit was talking to herself in public. "I have been warned."


"You are just a high-school kid, Sophie," they warned. "What makes you think you are capable of solving this crucial environmental issue? Stop wasting your time." The professors would not give her laboratory time to complete research nor would they share their expertise with her.


But, she could not stop.


After a snorkeling trip she took with her aunt to the coral reefs, she felt that something had shifted inside her. The snorkeling guide made one fact very clear: these coloni

Answer 1

Hello. You left the question incomplete. Here is the continuation:

... these colonies of tiny organisms would not last. In fact, we’d be lucky if they lasted 5 more years. She cared about the safety of these coral reefs more than she has cared about anything for a long, long time. She had to do something for the fragile, endangered habitat with its fish, mollusks, worms, crustaceans and many more.

So, she used her money to create a lab at her aunt’s house. She worked tirelessly—endlessly—sleeping only when she had to.

“It’s what mom and dad would have done,” she thought.

Her best friend Sam, would hang out with her everyday—eating pizza, fries, and whatever else he could get his hands on, keeping her company with his humor while Sophie worked on her experiments. And now, she has a biological solution in her hands.

She hesitated at the door to the labs. Nervously, she shifted her lab report from one hand to the other.

“I know that have an innovative approach to solving the coral reef issue and I know I can help,” she said to no one.

The image of being ridiculed by these professors, delayed her entry. She stood outside the door, wanting to run back- wanting to hide- glued to the icy spot.

“Hey, Sophie!” She turned at the unexpected sound of Sam’s voice.

“I’ve been… trying to catch up with you,” he panted- out of breath. “Let’s go in and… show them… what you’ve got.”

Sophie tilted her head, smiled at Sam and opened the door. She walked confidently to the front, laid out her research on the podium and began her presentation. When her presentation ended, it was to the enthusiastic sound of the scientists’ applause.

The scenario is the environment in which the story takes place.

The protagonist is the main character in the story, the one who moves the plot and where all the situations occur around this character.

Rising action is the part of the script where the tension starts to build up towards the climax.

Conflict is the element that shows what the protagonist will need to face.

Climax is the moment when the character will face his challenge.

Falling action occurs when the character fought the challenge he had.

Resolution is the part of the script that ends the story with the defeat or victory of the character.

any tragedy becomes a humour after a certain period of time and we start enjoying our worst tradgedy, what a moment it is! Humor is the only thing that helps us to cope with all our stress and worries. People always try to make their tragedy into a comedy. After the passage of time they change their mind set towards their old tragedies. example from my life, : me and my sister and cousins went to a pool and after we got done my aunt arden was put into a hospital on her death bed.

i normally feel invisable when i try and speak to my family, they dont ever answer me and i have to repeat myself over and over again until someone hears me. I stay in my room all day unless i have to come out. my dad yells alot and i get introuble alot so i try and stay away from everyone unless i have to come out of my room.

Imagine that a grown-up Lizabeth is granted the opportunity to return and apologize to Miss Lottie, explaining why she destroyed the marigolds. Write a narrative that focuses on the dialogue that takes place between these two characters, years after the events described in the story. To prepare, review textual details and descriptions of Lizabeth's childhood world, how her feelings developed over the course of the text, her motivations and interactions, and consider how they influenced her devastating actions.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

Not much had changed. Our neighborhood was still poor, just less miserable. As I approached Miss Lottie’s house, my heart began to sink. She had not lost her desire to bring some beauty into this world. There it was, a garden filled with marigolds just like the one I once killed. I say killed because I now know what I did was something like murder. Killing someone else’s hopes and dreams, because my own had been shattered.

I planned on saying all that to her. I knocked and waited. Slow, dragging footsteps reached the door; veiny, trembling hands opened it.

In a matter of seconds we sat facing each other in her dark kitchen. I tried to avert my gaze, but to no avail. She didn’t seem to bother. I began.

“I’m sorry.” There was nothing else I could have said, no better ice-breaker. As she remained silent, I carried on. “Miss Lottie, I’m sorry about that evening, about ruining – killing – your marigolds.”

She looked down.

“I have come to apologize and give you an explanation. Not a justification, not an excuse. I just… I’d like you to know what I felt that evening.”

Miss Lottie faced me, her eyes scrutinized my face.

“I had just understood, finally comprehended, how unfair life was. How sad, poor, and unbearable a life we were all doomed to live. My parents, myself, my brother, the children I’d have in the future… And I was angry. I felt impotent, and that is why I was angry. There was nothing I could do,; I was powerless in front of reality.”

Miss Lottie took a deep breath. She finally spoke, her voice hoarse and as old as time.

“Then why my flowers?” There was not accusation in her tone.

“Because they were not reality. They were… beauty. They were hope. They were everything we did not, could not have.  I was angry at their existence because they represented a different life. The life none of us would ever have.”

She nodded. A faint smile crossed her lips.

“I knew that already,” she whispered as she got up from her chair. “But it feels nice to finally hear it.”

Miss Lottie was making us some tea all of a sudden. I was stunned. Speechless. She knew all along. She had known all those years. Did that mean she had hated me all the while, or…?

“I never blamed you,” she whispered once more, as if she had read my guilt in my eyes. “How could I? How could you blame yourself?” She sat down once more.

“But Miss Lottie… I shouldn’t have -”

“We all do things we shouldn’t do. We all get carried away by our anger, our fears, our disappointments. You’re only human, dear. Your life and happiness are more precious than a thousand gardens.”

We drank the tea.

Explanation:

20 POINTS! Read the passage below and complete the task that follows.
"Scientists have learned a great deal from manned space flights. One unexpected discovery has been that humans are not well adapted to life in space. Life without gravity causes the fluid in a human body to float upward, which not only creates uncomfortable pressure in the head and chest, but also weakens the leg muscles. Long space missions can also cause astronauts to develop brittle bones, vision problems, and difficulties eating and sleeping enough.

NASA hopes to send astronauts to Mars in the 2030s. Scientists calculate a trip to Mars would take around 2.5 years. To date, the longest a human has lived in space is 438 days, a feat achieved by Russian cosmonaut Valeri Polyakov on the Mir space station in 1994–95."

Read the excerpt from the Declaration of Sentiments. Having deprived her of this first right of a citizen, the elective franchise, thereby leaving her without representation in the halls of legislation, he has oppressed her on all sides. Which words in the excerpt have negative connotations? Check all that apply. deprived elective representation oppressed sides

Answers

The correct answers are deprived and oppressed

Explanation:

Words have negative connotations if these are related to negative feelings, practices, emotions, etc. This means the word is considered to convey a negative meaning.

In the excerpt presented, the two words with negative connotations are "deprived" and "oppressed". The word "deprived" is used to describe the lack of something and in this case, the word shows how women could not vote or have other rights, which conveys a negative meaning.

On the other hand, the word "oppressed" describes the state of being dominated or controlled. This is also related to a negative meaning because the author expressed women were oppressed or dominated in all areas.

The words in the excerpt that have negative connotations are: Deprived and Oppressed.

Words with negative connotations are those that do not leave a good feeling in the reader. Such words foretell gloom and negativity.

In the Excerpt from the Declaration of Sentiments above, we find that the use of negative words like Deprived and Oppressed communicate in a very vivid manner, the sufferings of the women in American.
