Patrick lived in Emoryville, but every Saturday morning he rode two city buses to his uncle’s bookstore in Northview, where he worked. He didn’t mind the commute because he loved his job. He loved spending time with his uncle, but he also loved going to work because he had become friends with Andrew, one of his co-workers. The boys would talk about everything from baseball scores to movies to favorite pizza toppings.

So this Saturday, when Patrick got to work, he and Andrew got to talking as they always did.

“Hey, Pat,” Andrew said casually.

“Hey,” said Patrick. “Did you have a good week?”

“Yeah,” he said. “Great week. My basketball team made it into the semifinals. The game is tonight. We’re playing Emoryville, our nemesis.”

Before Patrick could say another word, Andrew continued. “I don’t like Emoryville. I don’t think I could ever be friends with someone from that town. Our schools are such rivals.”

Patrick was speechless.

“Where are you from, Pat? I can’t believe I’ve never asked you that before!”

Patrick fumbled over his words. “Not too far from here,” he said before he quickly changed the subject to the new shipment of graphic novels.

Passage:

From Guiseppi Verdi by Thomas Trapper
Whenever the organ man came into the village of Roncole, in Italy (where Verdi was born, October 10, 1813), Verdi could not be kept indoors. But he followed the wonderful organ and the wonderful man who played it, all day long, as happy as he could be.

When Giuseppe was seven years old his father, though only a poor innkeeper, bought him a spinet, a sort of small piano. So faithfully did the little boy practice that the spinet was soon quite worn out and new jacks, or hammers, had to be made for it. This was done by Stephen Cavaletti, who wrote a message on one of the jacks telling that he made them anew and covered them with leather, and fixed the pedal, doing all for nothing, because the little boy, Giuseppe Verdi, showed such willingness to practice and to learn. Thus the good Stephen thought this was pay enough.

Ok so can yall help me review my paragraph b4 I submit it?
The question to this is: Explain how natural resources are identified and why natural resources are unevenly distributed. Be sure to use information from the reading to support your answer. (pls don't copy mine if yall have this too, i don't wanna have to redo it :(

--->Natural resources are identified in mainly one way. According to the article, satellites and machines are used to identify. Satellites can scan the Earth's surface to detect natural resources. The colors shown on the results of the scan represent the types of rocks in the area. For example, yellow-like, orange, and green colors represent limestone, sandstone, and gypsum, respectively. Satellites can also locate vegetation. The displayed shade of red helps scientists identify the trees and plants because each type of plant has its own “brightness” or “darkness". Natural resources are often unevenly distributed. But, this is not humans' fault. Some resources require certain living and temperature conditions. For example, the amount of copper ore produced depends on the amount of volcanic activity. Sometimes, in certain areas of the world, there is more salty water than fresh. This occurs because freshwater travels over many surfaces before it even gets to the ocean. Hence, you may now understand the reason how natural resources are identified, and why natural resources are unevenly distributed.

Read the poem.

The Whippoorwill
by Madison Julius Cawein

I.

Above lone woodland ways that led
To dells the stealthy twilights tread
The west was hot geranium red;
And still, and still,
Along old lanes the locusts sow
With clustered pearls the Maytimes know,
Deep in the crimson afterglow,
We heard the homeward cattle low,
And then the far-off, far-off woe
Of "whippoorwill!" of "whippoorwill!"

II.

Beneath the idle beechen boughs
We heard the far bells of the cows
Come slowly jangling towards the house;
And still, and still,
Beyond the light that would not die
Out of the scarlet-haunted sky;
Beyond the evening-star's white eye
Of glittering chalcedony,
Drained out of dusk the plaintive cry
Of "whippoorwill," of "whippoorwill."

III.

And in the city oft, when swims
The pale moon o'er the smoke that dims
Its disc, I dream of wildwood limbs;
And still, and still,
I seem to hear, where shadows grope
Mid ferns and flowers that dewdrops rope,
Lost in faint deeps of heliotrope
Above the clover-sweetened slope,
Retreat, despairing, past all hope,
The whippoorwill, the whippoorwill.

Whippoorwill - a nocturnal bird with a distinctive call that is suggestive of its name

What is the main problem with this conclusion paregraph? Thesis statement: Fun activities should not be classified as "for boys" or "for girls."
Main points
• Classifying activities according to gender keeps kids from trying new activities
• Labeling activities by gender makes some kids feel bad about the activities they enjoy
• All kids should be supported in their talents and interests.
Conclusion: In conclusion classifying activities as "for boys' or "for girls" is unfair and bad for our society. If we want kids to try new activities and feel good about the activities they choose, we have to do away with the labels Family and friends should support boys and girls in whatever interests them. In the same way, it's also not fair to say that certain colors or clothing items are "for boys' or "for girls." When we stop labeling activities, we'll uncover many hidden talents in both boys and girls. A It does not restate the thesis B. It does not have a satisfying close OC. It adds ney information. D. it is missing one of the main points.​
