The rain would not let up, and the picnic Russo prepared for his friends was going to waste. The rain drops hit against the tin roof of his parents' apartment like the sound of a steady drum roll. Raul and Melissa ran in from the downpour, using their coats as temporary umbrellas. As they shook off the rain in the doorway, Russo lit up with an idea. Though the gray afternoon and relentless drizzle meant being trapped indoors, it didn't mean the afternoon would go to waste. Russo pushed aside the two chairs in the living room and spread out a red checkered blanket. He laid out some cheese and crackers and three large sandwiches. Lastly, he pulled out a leafy green salad and began to slowly pour on the dressing, noting that it hit the lettuce just like the droplets outside hit the plants on the patio. How does the rain influence Russo's plans with Raul and Melissa? A. Russo asks for his friends to go back home so he can enjoy the picnic alone in the rain. B. Russo decides to hold the picnic in the apartment to avoid the rain. C. Russo persuades Raul and Melissa to watch television rather than have a picnic in the rain. D. Russo tries to convince Raul and Melissa to have the picnic in the rain.

write two paragraphs to compare and contrast the narrators’ schools and explain how their schools shape their perspectives toward the hijab. cite evidence from the text to support your ideas.

copy and paste answer:

two paragraphs to compare and contrast the narrator's schools would be this, the one school with the veil is the one school were the students were forced to wear the veils, and they did not know why they had to wear the veils. the girl student writing the story was not like the other students, she didn't care. in the second school there was a lot of hostile activities going on throughout the school. most of the students were upset and this, including the author, but she was trying to look and the good side of things.  

overall, both schools had something that the students or most of the students did not like or appreciate. what you can learn from these stories is that life will never be exactly how you may want it to be. complaining about your lifestyle will only make matters worse or at least feel worse in the long run. that's happens to be the information you can interpret from these two stories.
