What event sets the rising action in motion? When the old fat lady got on the elevator with Martin and she kept on staring at him while the elevator felt like it was taking longer to get to his floor. 3. What internal conflict is plaguing Martin in lines 81-84? 4. What details in lines 88-105 help to create suspense about what might happen?

A good trait in a U.S. president is that he/she has to have a good reason why he/she should be president because if somebody said "I'm running for president just for the fame." Then the should not be elected because we need a president that will make us humans safe from dangerous people like ISIS or people that bring dangerous things into our country like drugs and other dangerous thing..
Another trait a president should have is being a president that will be able to take on the hard working job keeping the state under control and somebody that won't quit because the job is to hard for them. One last trait a president should have is a president that will know how to react if a new dangerous virus was released or if we were under attack he would know tactics to winning the attack or if were to go into war, they should know how to react to an attack or a world crisis. Aha Moment...I think the aha moment was when Squeaky saw Raymond run and she realizes that he is a fast runner Analyze the Plot of Raymond's Run *Exposition-Squeaky has to take care of her brother Raymond because he is not right and Squeaky loves to run and she says that she is the fastest runner in her neighborhood *Rising Action-Squeaky Doesn't like this girl named Gretchen because she spreads rumors that she is the fastest and what i think is that Squeaky is mad because she thinks that she is the fastest where she lives and also she makes fun of Raymond.Everybody is getting ready to run the fifty meter dash they line up at the start everybody is stretching and getting ready and squeaky is looking at Raymond and he looks like he's trying to run also and squeaky wants to tell him to stop but she doesn't *Climax-Squeaky looks at Raymond climb the fence really fast and she starts to not care about losing or winning the race because she realizes that Raymond is a fast runner and she could always retire as a runner and start to be Raymond's coach to make him a runner *Falling Action-The announcement said that Squeaky had won the race and she was jumping up and down but not because she won she was jumping because she was looking at Raymond run seeing that he is a really fast runner *Resolution-Squeaky starts to care less about being a runner and starts to think that she could be Raymond's Coach and she starts to become friends with Gretchen seeing that she also is a fast runner. 3. Choose 3 of the following 4 questions to answer. Make sure to type the question as well as your response so the readers of your blog know what you're responding to! a. How do you know if something is worth effort? Give an example of a time when you worked hard for something. Why was it worth it? I once had to do everyone's chores because I forgot to do my chores the day before that day but it was worth it because I got payed $50 and I needed $50 more dollars for me to finally be able to buy myself a new gaming console b. How do you judge someone? For example, if you said "She is a confident person," how would you make that judgement? Have you ever misjudged someone? c. Give an example of an Aha Moment you recently had. (Think of the "lightbulb" going off right above your head) How did this change your situation? I once lost my phone once when I was going to my cousins birthday party and I didn't know where it was but them I remembered when we were driving there that I forgot my phone on top of the car and I told my mom and dad and they said wait until we arrive, when we arrived it was still on top because my phone a rubber case so it was stuck on the car. d. Think of someone (or yourself) that may have a disability. How has this disability affected how this person is judged (or explain maybe how it doesn't). My grandma is sick and she can't walk right she has to use a cane to help her walk and I don't know anybody that would judge her badly but people might think that she is old and she is poor. If I had a million dollars I would go to a pet store and buy myself a turtle and with that turtle I will also buy myself a dog because I like dogs,I would buy them food and toys to play with and then i will name them the turtle i will name Henry and the dog I will name him Doug,Dog with a U Inside of the word.
