My brother needed some help on a test and wasn't sure what he needed to add or if he was missing something. Can you guys check this out for me as I don't know what he needs to add? He wrote: This story begins with a young man who has a problem: he wants to make money, but his family forbids him from working. Because the boy is 18 years old and must complete his education, his family will not allow him to work and earn money. This young man lives in a small row house in San Francisco, California, with his mother, father, and two sisters. He receives some financial support from his family, but it is insufficient to cover the cost of living in the city or pay his tuition. Jacob Hatcher is the name of this young man. To get a job: Jacob pleaded with his father to let him get a job, but his father was unreasonable and denied it. Unable to get permission, he went to his mother and tried to win her permission with facts and logic. "If I get a job, my father won't have to work as much, and we won't have any problems paying our rent," he said. His mother, too, was irrational and denied it. He turned to his friends for assistance when he ran out of ideas. To his friends, he said, "My parents are both unreasonable and refuse to let me get a job. I've done everything I could to persuade them. Have you got any suggestions? " They all agreed that he should persuade his sisters to persuade their parents because they were younger and more easily persuaded. To persuade them, he told them that if he got a job, he'd buy them candy and other treats if they asked. They were both skeptical, but they agreed to assist him anyway. They tried to persuade their parents to give him a job by saying things like, "I wish we could afford better toys." They were using short but clever sentences to persuade them, but it would still be weeks before they permitted him. To hasten the process, he told white lies, such as, "The grocery store owner said they were going to raise their prices on some of dad's favorite foods." None of this was true, of course, but it was effective in increasing his chances of getting permission. Both of their parents were intimidated by the gap in food budgets. The strategy was masterful. It worked. Jacob's parents had told him that he could only get a job if it was at his uncle's grocery store. After signing the paperwork, he had gotten a job. On the way to his first day at work, Jacob felt sick to his stomach. After walking slower than a snail and meeting his uncle, he immediately ran to the bathroom in pain, bumping into a customer in the process, knocking them down, and making them drop all of their items. Afterward, Jacob apologized immediately. His uncle wasn't amused, so he had to work for a week without pay to pay off what he had broken and pay back the customer for their sprained ankle. Jacob was certain that his uncle would fire him after what happened, but instead, he was congratulated for having kept working even though it was so hard for him. this is what he sent to me as a checklist

Read the passage below from “Marigolds” and answer question.

Miss Lottie’s house was the most ramshackle of all our ramshackle homes. The sun and rain had long since faded its rickety frame siding from white to a sullen gray. The boards themselves seemed to remain upright not from being nailed together but rather from leaning together, like a house that a child might have constructed from cards. A brisk wind might have blown it down, and the fact that it was still standing implied a kind of enchantment that was stronger than the elements. There it stood and as far as I know is standing yet—a gray, rotting thing with no porch, no shutters, no steps, set on a cramped lot with no grass, not even any weeds—a monument to decay.

What tone is implied by the narrator’s description in the passage above?

humorous
hopeless
bitter
sympathetic

Essay on tragedy of Romeo and Juliet and how the parents are to be blamed

Giys please help! Can you help me fix my paragraph.This an ACE-IT paragraph.. My teacher said that my paragraph is good but some of my sentences are losing clarity.. I don't know what to add or remove in this paragraph. Also I had two evidence and interpretation because it was the requirement. This is a novel Kitchen by Banana Yoshimoto.

Assertion:Using the psychological lens, the author from Kitchen explores the issue of fragile friendship between Mikage and Yuichi that caused their relationship as friends to be unstable.

Context: During Yuichi’s drunkenness, Mikage feels hurt by what he said because Yuichi thought she only tangled up with him and staying together could make things complicated. At that time, Mikage feels betrayed because she thought they were together to cope up with moving on about Eriko’s death and it seems like he doesn’t completely trust her. At this point, Yuchi and Mikage seem like they are in a dispute situation because witnessing death impacted them a lot that caused their decision to waver and assume that breaking apart was the best solution.

Evidence:Yuichi told Mikage, “ The two of us may be in the epicenter of death, but I was hoping to spare you this misery. It could be like this for as long as we stay together.” (pt. 7, p. 3).
Interpretation: This part expressed Yuichi’s distrust of Mikage and how death kept him hesitant to tell her about his true feelings after the death of Eriko. This statement caused their relationship to become unstable as Yuichi told Mikage that she only got stuck with him because it seems that death is following them. Assuming that Mikage is better off without him because she already experienced more than enough sadness.

Evidence: Mikage stated, “ Even though we’re closer to each other than to anyone else in the world, even though we’re friends, we don’t join hands.” (pt. 7, p. 3).
Interpretation: This evidence signifies the problem of their relationship because of their unwillingness to express and subconsciously created a distance of themselves at some point of hurting each other’s feelings.

Interpretation: This phrase “we don’t join hands” means they insist on standing on their own two feet and they have different perspectives in their lives. It defines their friendship as fragile because the more they get deeper, they end up hurting each other because of hesitation to open up and the fear that everything will be messed up.

Ties-back: As a result, Mikage and Yuichi show an invisible distance between them because they were untrue to their hearts and their relationship struggles to overcome tragedies and the possibility to end things between them. The author demonstrates that even close friends couldn't tell their true feelings because of the fear that the relationship can end up on bad terms and things will not go back as it is.​
