25 POINTS
The story “Raymond’s Run” is about a girl named Squeaky who is responsible for caring for her brother, Raymond. We learn that Raymond has a mental disability and is sometimes a challenge to care for. Think of a time when you have been responsible for caring for someone else. Your experience could be babysitting for a neighbor’s child, helping to care for a pet, or helping an elderly relative. If you had not had this experience, think about a time someone close to you had this responsibility; or, imagine what being in this situation would be like. What lessons did you (or could you) learn from this experience?

Your response should be about 150 words.

I would learn responsibility. When you are taking care of an elderly person, or younger sibling, you must be alert. You can't slack off or something bad could happen. It can be hard, but when everything is said and done you will feel better about yourself. In the story Squeaky brother gets made fun of, but she does not back down from the responsibility  that she has to take care of him. So I would also learn confidence. I would know that not only can I take care of myself, but also another person. Not only that but other people will have confidence in you. You will get more trust, and be given more responsibility.  Overall you would have also grown a person. You would have learned responsibility, and confidence in yourself which would help you later in life.

explanation:

the sentence that best describes the tone of the passage from the radio broadcast compared to the passage from the book is b. the radio broadcast has a more surprised tone.

consider the text evidence: in the passage from the book, the description is more matter-of-fact. it is simply describing the things resembling little grey snakes, but there is no urgency in the description. on the other hand, in the passage from the radio broadcast, there is definetely urgency (you can tell from the expression used, "good heavens", which clearly indicates surprise.)
