Main Characters:

1. Martin

2. Fat lady

3. Father

Exposition: A short introduction to the characters, setting, and start of the story.

Setting:

• Old building

• Elevator

Introduction:

Martin is a 12-year-old kid with a slender frame. When he goes to school, he is tormented and always the last to be selected for sports teams. He lives on the 17th floor. In elevators, he gets apprehensive. Marin is taking the elevator one day when a weird and fat woman boards. She stares at him, breathes deeply, and does so in silently.

Rising Action: Event sequence which leads in the climax.

Next time the big woman gets on, she heads up to the third level to find out what is wrong. He is concerned about what might happen if the elevator became trapped. Although he really wants to exit the elevator, he fears that he will be unable to get past her.

Conflict: In the tale, the rising action continued to escalate.

After looking at Martin for a long time, the woman eventually spoke to him and ended the conflict. Martin was the narrator. Even though he was afraid of the elevator, he overcame his apprehensions and rode it. Marin's Elevator Antagonist was the large woman who stares at Martin constantly.

Climax: The turning point.

Marin's shattered leg makes him more exposed when Martin's father departs the elevator, thus he must go up on his own. The enormous woman enters the elevator on the next level, shuts the door behind her, and says, "Hello Martin," laughs, and presses the stop button on the elevator.

There are important differences and similarities in barriers to early diagnosis of breast cancer between Black African, Black Caribbean and White British women in the UK. Differences were influenced by country of birth, time spent in UK and age. First generation Black African women experienced most barriers and longest delays. Second generation Black Caribbean and White British women were similar and experienced fewest barriers. Absence of pain was a barrier for Black African and Black Caribbean women. Older White British women (≥70 years) and first generation Black African and Black Caribbean women shared conservative attitudes and taboos about breast awareness. All women viewed themselves at low risk of the disease, and voiced uncertainty over breast awareness and appraising non-lump symptoms. Focus group findings validated and expanded themes identified in interviews.

Answer: Lessons or morals that you have personally learned from the Old Testament

Explanation:

Connecting lessons or morals is more than just, for example, when the people in Noah’s age did not listen to God or believe Him they got swept away. Simple moral would be listen to God right? But to make your writing powerful, try to connect a simple moral like that with your own personal life. Go into detail on how you first read it, how it hit you, & how you can grow deeper into a simple moral or virtue like that.

E.x : When first reading the story of Noah, I did not fully realize the importance of God’s message. Listen, follow, & trust Him. At first I thought, yes those are all simple, good morals. But then as I looked & reflected more, I see now that it’s not so simple. Don’t we all stray from God, doubt Him, & when life is a crazy storm, like the flood, we question God. It’s hard not to question God, but the difference with us compared to Noah is that he was prepared for the storm. He was rooted in his love with the Lord. We are never not going to be in a storm in out lives. But grow close to the Lord, trust Him, & He will help build your arc. Grow close to the Father, trust Him & He will keep you grounded in His grace, love, peace & mercy in the midst of the flood.

The garden, as a whole, is a metaphor for the growth and maturity of the characters. For Gonzalo, in particular, this means taking on some responsibility. Being the most fluent English speaker in his family, he has a lot on his plate.

This quote by Paul Fleischman is a great example of this novel: “[Community gardens] were oases in the urban landscape of fear, places where people could safely offer trust, helpfulness, charity, without need of an earthquake or hurricane...Community gardens are places where people rediscover not only generosity, but the pleasure of coming together. I salute all those who give their time and talents to rebuilding that sense of belonging.”

The Invisible Man is a science fiction novel by H. G. Wells. Originally serialized in Pearson's Weekly in 1897, it was published as a novel the same year. The Invisible Man to whom the title refers is Griffin, a scientist who has devoted himself to research into optics and who invents a way to change a body's refractive index to that of air so that it neither absorbs nor reflects light. He carries out this procedure on himself and renders himself invisible, but fails in his attempt to reverse it. A practitioner of random and irresponsible violence, Griffin has become an iconic character in horror fiction.

Answer: Self control isn't the reason for obesity because:

Explanation: People can't always control themselves not because they don't have self control but because everything in the world can affect you and/or make you make decisions.

Answer:

I would say it shouldn't be considered THE reason since there's other things that can cause it

Explanation:

I think there are way more reasons than simply not being able to control yourself. For example, some people can't afford healthy food, some food might simply contain too much calories even if it comes in small portions, lack of exercise can cause obesity, genetics can also play an important role in obesity meaning that genes might increase a person's likelihood of gaining weight, health conditions can also cause it, and lastly, there are other factors such as stress and lack of sleep.
