PLEASE HELP, THIS IS DUE!! (( ANSWER CORRECTLY OR YOU WILL BE REPORTED)) “Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)”
- Green Day
[Verse 1]
Another turning point
A fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist Directs you where to go
So make the best of this test
And don't ask why
It's not a question
But a lesson learned in time [Chorus]
It's something unpredictable
But in the end it's right I hope you had the time of your
life
[Verse 2]
So take the photographs
And still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf
In good health and good time
Tattoos of memories
And dead skin on trial
For what it's worth
It was worth all the while
[Chorus]
It's something unpredictable
But in the end it's right I hope you had the time of your
life
It's something unpredictable
But in the end it's right I hope you had the time of your
life
It's something unpredictable
But in the end it's right I hope you had the time of your
life

Read the excerpt from the war of the worlds, in which the crowd begins to disperse just before the first martian exits the cylinder.when i returned to the common the sun was setting. scattered groups were hurrying from the direction of woking, and one or two persons were returning. the crowd about the pit had increased, and stood out black against the lemon yellow of the sky—a couple of hundred people, perhaps. there were raised voices, and some sort of struggle appeared to be going on about the pit. strange imaginings passed through my mind. as i drew nearer i heard stent's voice: "keep back! keep back! "a boy came running towards me."it's a-movin'," he said to me as he passed; 'a-screwin' and a-screwin' out. i don't like it. i'm a-goin' 'ome, i am."what options accurately depict the impact of the boy's words on pacing within the excerpt?
