Explanation:

Based on the passage provided, we can know that Ben is quite familiar with the store "Ahab's Books". In fact, he had worked there too. But once graduation draws near, he quit to concentrate on his studies. When he asked Jack for a national map, it implies that he's planning on going out of the town after his graduation. He would have known all the places within the town as he had been a part of it this whole time. Also, the surprised and puzzled look reaction that Jack gave him when he asked for the national road map shows that even he (Jack) was shocked. The conversation between them foreshadows his plans of moving after graduation.

based on the biblical principle philippians 4: 13 "i can do everything through christ who strengthens me." i agree that it is through him that we are given the strength to cope with every situation.

and based on the biblical principle proverbs 16: 32 "better to get angry slowly than to be a hero. better to be even-tempered than to capture a city."   i agree with the author of the passage to the extent that the nobility of heart demonstrates the strength of a person. those who are contemptuous, get angry easily and show their anger toward others are really weak, but those who are noble and make sure to not hurt other people and their feelings are strong people.

breathe, think and analyze the situation, pull them aside and talk to them about it
