Explanation:

I took the quiz!

what happens to ha's school in inside out and back again?

Answers

Answer:

Hà is our main girl in Inside Out and Back Again, the poet whose words we read as she goes from enjoying her free time in Saigon to—after much trial and tribulation—finally starting to settle into life in the United States, all thanks to the Vietnam War. She might only be ten years old, but Hà sees a lot in the year this book covers, and it's safe to say that she's wise beyond her years.

Explanation:

Spice

For someone so nice, Hà has a feisty side to her. She likes to compete and feel smart, and when she doesn't, well, she's not exactly one to just sit back and let things slide. So when she is totally annoyed by her brothers, instead of kissing up or making nice in hopes of getting them to treat her better, she writes:

I can't make my brothers

Go live elsewhere,

but I can

hide their sandals.  

It's classic younger sibling behavior, right? We're guessing Hà's not familiar with the old phrase you kill more flies with honey. Considering that they each only have one pair of shoes and it's hot out, this sneaky little scheme becomes a real pain in the foot, so it's no wonder her brothers don't respond by showering her with kindnesses.

The thing about Hà, though, is that she doesn't just act out to get revenge on her pesky older brothers—she does it to feel a sense of power at school, too. For instance, when she is working away on a math problem in school one day, and the siren interrupts her by going off, she tells us:

I'm mad and pinch the girl

who shares my desk.

Tram is half my size,

so skinny and nervous.

Our mothers are friends.

She will tell on me.

She always tells on me.  

It seems like Hà pinches Tram because the siren interrupting her is the last straw in a long line of small moments in which Hà feels powerless, not because Hà is actually mean or anything, though Tram might not agree. So while Hà pesters her brothers in a pretty standard fashion, when she pinches Tram we are reminded that Hà has had more hardship and unfairness than most other children—so much, in fact, that a siren going off during a math problem is enough to make her boil over for a moment.

Sugar

Hà isn't always feisty, however, and she can also be sweet, kind, thoughtful, and observant. For instance, when Khoi's dead (and totally rotting) chick is found and taken from him, he is freaking out and totally depressed. His sister recognizes his pain (instead of, say, being grossed out that he's been hiding a dead chick), and does the following:

I hold his hand:Come with me.

He doesn't resist.

[…]

Inside lies my mouse-bitten doll,

her arms wrapped around

the limp fuzzy body of his chick.

I tie it all into a bundle.

Hà takes her doll—pretty much the only personal belonging she was able to take from Saigon when they left—and she wraps it around the dead chick, then throws the bundle into the ocean. That fact that Hà sacrifices her own comfort object to comfort her brother is a remarkably thoughtful and humble act, and one that shows maturity beyond her ten years. So while she might hide her brothers' shoes, she also really loves them, and is willing to do whatever she can to make sure they know it.

And Everything Nice

Though she has a hard time accepting the incredible changes her life goes through, by the end of the book, things are looking up for Hà. She and her family are in their own home, kids are being nicer to her at school, and she's regained a sense of hope for her future. So though Hà has seen more than her fair share of hardship during the past year, including moving halfway around the world and confirmation of the death of her father, her resilience is undeniable, which should only serve her well going forward.

The central theme of the poem Momentum is the folly of taking unnecessary risks.

It is expatiated by the subject's relationship with his "friends" in that it highlights the fact that although he jumps into a barrel to prove that he is brave, a barrel that would then be allowed to roll down the hill with him on the inside and his friends somewhat indifferent at the risk he was about to take. See the following excerpt from the poem:

Their faces, you know are blank with anticipation,

The look you see when they watch TV eating popcorn.

They are already talking about you as if you're gone...

Answer:

D. Is it fair that some eat like kings while many live on crumbs?

Explanation:

I used the process of elimination.

Answer A. isn't specifically about food, whereas this cartoon seems to make a great display of it.

B. and C. don't make sense.

D. makes sense because we can see that the people below are hungry and want the food too, so they are holding their plates up waiting for the crumbs to fall down. The food is turkey, which is expensive-and a whole turkey too! The person eating it is well dressed and the people below are not dressed as nicely. Therefore, I believe this cartoon is trying to make the viewers think about whether it is fair or not that some eat like kings while many live on crumbs.

Rabbit was one of the proudest animals, and he liked to show off his very long, furry tail. Fox grew tired of listening to Rabbit boast about his tail and decided to play a trick on him. 2One winter morning, Fox went to the lake where the animals liked to drink. The lake was frozen, so Fox cut a hole in the ice. Then, she tied a fish to her tail and dipped it into the chilly water. When Rabbit arrived at the lake, he wanted to know what was happening. 3Im fishing with my tail, Rabbit, announced Fox, displaying the fish. 4With my long, beautiful tail, I can certainly catch ten fish! bragged Rabbit. He cut into the ice and dipped his tail into the water. Overnight the water froze, and Rabbits tail became stuck. Fox laughed at Rabbit, who tugged so hard that his long tail popped off! 5And that is why rabbits have short tails. The Blue Ox Makes Lakes 6In America's pioneer days, Paul Bunyan was the biggest, strongest lumberjack ever to swing an ax. He could chop down a whole forest with one swing.

A big man like Paul Bunyan needed an ox to carry all the lumber he chopped. The lumberjack warmed the little ox by the fire, but he stayed as blue as the sky. Paul Bunyan named the animal Babe the Blue Ox. 8Babe grew as big as a house and carried the trees that Paul Bunyan chopped. He tricked the lumberjacks with heavy footsteps that shook the ground like earthquakes. As Babe the Blue Ox journeyed across the country, he left a trail of deep hoof prints.
