Read the excerpt from The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind by William Kamkwamba.
The wind would spin the blades of the windmill, rotate the magnets in a dynamo, and create electricity. Attach a wire to the dynamo and you could power anything, especially a bulb. All I needed was a windmill, and then I could have lights. No more kerosene lamps that burned our eyes and sent us gasping for breath. With a windmill, I could stay awake at night reading instead of going to bed at seven with the rest of Malawi.

Nights and Dragons—
From the memoir of author Abigail Prynne
1
I sit at my desk listening to thunder growl outside my window. Flashes of light burst through the darkness, and wind races past my window. The thrilling combination of sight and sound conjures up visions of dragons roaring proudly, breathing fire, and soaring across the midnight sky. Dragons first fascinated me when I was a little girl. They have followed me ever since. The magnificent creatures appeared in storybooks I read in the library, paintings I saw in museums, movies I watched in the theater, and the dreams I had in my sleep. By the time I was thirteen, one question consumed me. I wanted to know if dragons ever existed, so I set out on a quest for facts.
2
As I started my research, I discovered many skeptics. Scientists presented evidence to show why dragons could not—and did not—exist. They explained that it would be impossible for dragons to fly because they would be too big. They laughed at the idea of dragons breathing fire. They pointed out that no other animal has ever done this. They said that if dragons had lived, someone would have found remains somewhere in the world. No bones about it, there were plenty of logical explanations. It would have been easy for me to accept that the only place dragons ever existed was in the imaginations of those who believed.
3
I could have given up, but I thought about my grandmother. She always told me that "people who believe that science is the answer to everything are missing out on everything else." With her words in mind, I searched some more. There were many facts that hinted that dragons may not be fictional. I noticed that cultures across the world all described dragons in similar ways. This was odd because they had no way to communicate with each other. I found dragons mentioned in more than just stories. They appeared in old legal papers, in the travel logs of Marco Polo, and in the Bible. I saw that the Chinese calendar uses a different animal each year. Dragons are included along with eleven real animals. I began to believe it was a real possibility that all of these people were talking about a creature that actually existed.
4
With renewed hope that there was some truth to the legends, I looked for new research. I found that some experts disagreed with popular arguments against dragons. They suggested that a dragon could have four stomachs like a cow. If it created stomach gases like birds, it might create enough to lift itself off the ground. This would give it the ability to fly. If it forced out air when diving toward the earth, it might release gases which could ignite into flame. When the animal died, the stomachs would release strong acids that would dissolve its dead body over time. Biologists backed up these ideas with sketches and models based on known animals. Not everyone agreed with these ideas, but many of the things we accept about dinosaurs and other extinct species started the same way.
5
I doubt we will ever truly know whether dragons existed. There may always be two sides to the fiery debate. Some will say the stories come from active imaginations. Some will believe with all their hearts that the legendary creatures roamed our ancient world. I don't know for certain which side to believe, but the sound and fury of a night like this makes me smile. It rekindles my childhood dreams and keeps the exciting possibility alive.
Which best states the main idea of the text?
I have found no proof that dragons ever existed.
I have found some proof that dragons may have existed.
I have always wondered if dragons existed, and I hope they did.
I have not been able to decide if dragons ever existed or not.

This is a personal assignment that only you can complete. However, we can provide some guidance to help you. This is an example of a letter with these specifications:
Dear Minister of Transport,
I understand that your time is spent looking for ways to ensure that people have effective, efficient and reliable transportation so that they can conduct their lives in the way they desire. However, I believe that using cars is not the right way to ensure this. I think that all city centres should be car-free, in order to allow people to walk and cycle easily. It is a known fact that many accidents occur in cars, and that these often affect young people who do not have much experience driving. Moreover, cars can cause both noise and air pollution, decreasing the quality of live of people who live in the centre, as well as those who visit it. These are enough reasons to ban cars as soon as possible, and I am sure that you will consider this in your future projects.
Thank you for your time,

Answer:
It knowing the airmen's fears it enable us to identify on a basic or normal level.
With books that are good, the reader wants to recognize strongly with the characters.
Explanation:
With good books, the reader wants to strongly recognize with the characters, so good writers highlights certain traits they feel will resonate with others.
In Seabiscuit, Hillenbrand made characters strong around the horse who were examples of fears and universal hopes common to most of us.
In the crucible of war, actions are heightened by the see-sawing emotions brought on by death and life experiences.
By understanding the airmen’s fears in greater depth makes us to identify on a very basic level. The airmen are of each on dissimilar but universal in their fears of death and what it means to themselves, their families and comrades.

Write a single paragraph informational essay on the following question: As a seventh grader, what are the challenges of “fitting” in with your peers?
Answer:
It’s normal to worry that your child is being influenced too much by his peers, or that he’s selling out on his values (or yours) to fit in with his friends. It’s also normal to worry that your child won’t be able to say no if he gets pressure to try risky things, like wagging school or smoking.
But listening to the same music and dressing in the same way as friends doesn’t necessarily add up to your child then doing antisocial or risky things.
And if your child is happy with who she is and her choices and values, she’s less likely to be influenced by other people. She might choose to do some things that her friends do, but not others. And your influence is important here – it’s the biggest factor shaping your child’s values and long-term choices.Explanation:

What is the meaning of abuse?
Why do people abuse other people?
Answer:
To abuse someone is to hurt them physically or mentally. Another definition is to use someone or something in a way in which is not what it is used for.
There are forms of abuse. Domestic abuse, child abuse, mental abuse.
I don't really understand why people abuse people. It's flat out cruel. But, people abuse other people to have a sense of power over the person.
It goes waaaayyy deeper than this, but that's the BASICS.
