WILL GIVE BRAINLEST
Wild Plum Jelly
Tracy Wilson

1 In the winter of 1976, when I was only four years old, my family moved into a modest home in a growing Greenville neighborhood. Upon a slope on one side of the house, stood a dozen tree sprigs looking rather bald and barren. By springtime, however, the little trees began growing taller and bushier by the day. Upon exploring the hillside in mid-July, I noticed hundreds of quarter-sized, pinkish orbs dangling, daring me to pick just one. Of course, I did.

2Plums? I questioned. Yes, plums. she reiterated. She explained that these were not the same as the deeply colored, voluptuous kind I had seen in the market. These were a smaller and much sourer variety.

3 Knowing that they were safe, I ate enough that one afternoon to give me a stomach ache that lasted two days. As the plums became riper and sweeter, my grandma and I picked enough to fill two enormous buckets. She taught me to make jelly from the tiny fruits which we could enjoy all winter long.

4 Years later, I was driving down a long, winding highway when I noticed several wild plum trees lining the hedgerow. I had to pull over. I picked a heaping handful. As I sat there on the side of the highway, I basked in the tartness of my childhood fruit and in the sweetness of the memory of making jelly with the greatest woman I have ever known.

Wild Plum Jelly (Another Point of View)

When Tracy was just a little girl, maybe four years old, she came to visit my home just around the time my wild plum tree was bearing fruit. The plums were pinkish little spheres just begging for Tracy's little hands to pick them. When she grabbed one, I explained to her that the plums were edible and safe, but that they didn't taste like the rich, delicious plums at the grocery store. They were a little sour!

But their sour taste didn't stop little Tracy at all. She ate so many plums that she got a stomach-ache! Mercy! After she got better, I taught Tracy to make wild plum jellies. I hope that one day she can remember the good times we had together when she was young.
What do these two accounts of an early event in Tracy's life have in common?
A) Tracy's story is tinted with a tone of sadness, but the grandmother's story is mostly happy in tone.
B) The grandmother's story mentions that they picked apples instead of plum, but Tracy's story mentions only plums.
C) Tracy's story is a memory of picking plums with her grandmother, and the grandmother's story is a similarly happy memory.
D) The grandmother's story shows that she didn't enjoy picking plums, but Tracy's account shows that she had a really good time.

There are several text features that I see within the text “New Kid” by Jerry Craft. These include:

Title: The title of the book, “New Kid,” is a good example of a text feature. The title tells the reader what the book is about, and it also sets the tone for the story.

Chapter headings: The chapter headings in “New Kid” are also text features. They help the reader to keep track of the story, and they also provide a brief overview of what will happen in each chapter.

Dialogue: Dialogue is another text feature that is used in “New Kid.” Dialogue helps the reader to understand the characters and their motivations. It also helps to move the story along.

Narration: Narration is the voice of the story. It is the way that the story is told. The narrator in “New Kid” is a first-person narrator, which means that the story is told from the perspective of the main character, Jordan Banks.

Illustration: “New Kid” is a graphic novel, which means that it is a combination of text and illustration. The illustrations in “New Kid” help to bring the story to life, and they also provide additional information that is not included in the text.

All of these text features work together to create a complete and engaging story.

Answer: Roy and Mullet Fingers are the same in their environmental activism in that they both have the same specific end goal. Both boys want to see that the owls are saved, and both boys are willing to stand in the face of strong opposition. Both boys also have the same solution to saving the owls. Their solution is to stop the construction project from happening rather than finding a new building site or moving the owls. The difference is in how they go about trying to stop the construction project in order to save the owls. Mullet Fingers's approach is to sabotage the actual construction project through various forms of vandalism. He takes huge risks doing this because he is breaking the law in order to fight the building of Mother Paula's Pancake House.

On the other hand, Roy is not so willing to break the law in order to fight against the construction to save the owls. Roy's activism is done through legal channels, and he spends a lot of time digging through public records. Roy hits a major breakthrough when he discovers that the environmental impact study report is missing. Roy then takes additional action by giving the information to a reporter, and that allows the media to elevate the story to a level that Roy and Mullet Fingers are not able to achieve by themselves.

Explanation: Not my answer. JONATHAN BEUTLICH'S ANSWER

Answer:

Roy and Mullet Fingers are alike in many ways. The boys are about the same age and size; Roy's shoes fit Mullet Fingers. They both appreciate nature. Both boys are clever, coming up with ingenious ways of reaching their goals. Mullet Fingers puts alligators in the portable latrines and uses snakes with taped-shut mouths to scare away the guard dogs. Roy creates an elaborate ruse to ensnare Dana Matherson in his own misdeeds. Neither boy, Roy or Mullet Fingers, gives up easily. Roy doesn't give in to Dana, and he persists in tracking down the running boy and in trying to save the owls. Mullet Fingers works persistently to pester Mother Paula's company with increasingly severe pranks. Both Roy and Mullet Fingers seem to have a high pain tolerance. Roy invites Dana to hit him, and the bully strikes him on the head three times while on the bus. He also endures some serious brawling in the janitor's closet. Mullet Fingers, despite his infected and wounded arm, runs to the construction site, arriving there before Beatrice and Roy on the bike. He also escapes from the hospital emergency room despite his fever and injury. Neither boy is a "bad kid"; they both stay primarily within the law and avoid causing physical harm to people while they try to interfere with the constant

opens on a dark and stormy night as the three members of the White family relax inside their cozy house. Herbert White and his father are playing a game of chess while Mrs. White knits near the fire. After his son wins, Mr. White complains about the terrible weather and nearly deserted road they live near.

A family friend, Sergeant-Major Morris, arrives for a visit. Over whisky, he tells stories of his exploits abroad. Mr. White expresses interest in going to India, but the sergeant-major says he would be better off staying at home. At Mr. and Mrs. Whites’ urging, Sergeant-Major Morris takes a small, mummified paw out of his pocket. He explains that a fakir (a mystic miracle worker) placed a spell on the paw to prove that people’s lives are governed by fate and that it is dangerous to meddle with fate. According to the sergeant-major, three men can wish on the paw three times each. The sergeant-major himself has already had his three wishes, as has another man, who used his third wish to ask for death. The sergeant-major has considered selling the paw, but he doesn’t want it to cause any more trouble than it already has. Moreover, no one will buy the paw without first seeing proof of its effect. The sergeant-major throws the paw into the fire, and Mr. White quickly rescues it. The sergeant-major warns him three times to leave the paw alone, but he eventually explains how to make a wish on the paw.

Mrs. White says the story reminds her of the Arabian Nights and jokingly suggests that her husband wish her a pair of extra hands to help her with all her work. The sergeant-major doesn’t find this joke funny, however, and urges Mr. White to use common sense if he insists on wishing. After supper and more tales of India, the sergeant-major leaves. Herbert says he thinks the sergeant-major is full of nonsense and jokes that his father should make himself an emperor so that he doesn’t have to listen to Mrs. White’s nagging. In mock anger, Mrs. White playfully chases her son.

Mr. White says he has everything he wants and isn’t sure what to wish for. Herbert says that two hundred pounds would enable them to pay off the money owed for the house. Mr. White wishes aloud for two hundred pounds as Herbert accompanies him with melodramatic chords played on the piano. Mr. White suddenly cries out and says that the paw moved like a snake in his hand. After Mr. and Mrs. White go to bed, Herbert sits by the fire and sees a vividly realistic monkey face in the flames. He puts out the fire, takes the monkey’s paw, and goes to bed.

Part II begins on the next morning, a sunny winter day. The room seems cheerful and normal in contrast to the previous evening’s gloomy atmosphere and the mummified paw now looks harmless. Mrs. White comments on how ridiculous the sergeant-major’s story was but remarks that two hundred pounds couldn’t do any harm. They could, Herbert jokes, if the money fell out of the sky onto his father’s head. Mr. White answers that people often mistake coincidence for granted wishes. Herbert then leaves for work.

Later that day, Mrs. White notices a stranger outside dressed in nice clothes. The stranger hesitantly approaches their gate three times before opening it and coming up to the door. Mrs. White ushers him in. He nervously states that he is a representative of Maw and Meggins, Herbert’s employer. Mrs. White asks whether Herbert is all right, and the representative says he is hurt, but in no pain. For a moment, Mrs. White feels relieved, until she realizes that Herbert feels no pain because he’s dead. The representative says that Herbert was “caught in the machinery.” After a pause, Mr. White says that Herbert was the only child they had left. Embarrassed, the representative stresses that he is simply obeying Maw and Meggins’s orders. He then explains that the company will not take any responsibility for the death but will give the Whites two hundred pounds. Mrs. White shrieks, and Mr. White faints.

In Part III, the Whites bury Herbert. Several days pass, and the couple feels exhausted and hopeless. A week after the burial, Mr. White wakes up and hears his wife crying by the window. He gently urges her to come back to bed, but she refuses. He dozes off again until Mrs. White suddenly cries out that she wants the monkey’s paw. In hysterics, she tells him to go downstairs and wish Herbert back to life. Mr. White resists and tells her that Herbert’s death and the two hundred pounds they had received had nothing to do with his wish the previous night. Mr. White says that he didn’t want to tell her before, but Herbert was so mangled that he had to identify the body by looking at the clothes. Mrs. White doesn’t listen, however, and continues to insist on wishing Herbert back to life with the monkey’s paw.
