(Please help me I got until tomorrow at 9:00 I the morning) A Mouse who always lived on the land, by an unlucky chance formed an intimate acquaintance with a Frog, who lived for the most part in the water. The Frog, one day intent on mischief, bound the foot of the Mouse tightly to his own. Thus joined together, the Frog first of all led his friend the Mouse to the meadow where they were accustomed to find their food. After this, he gradually led him towards the pool in which he lived, until reaching the very brink, he suddenly jumped in, dragging the Mouse with him. The Frog enjoyed the water amazingly, and swam croaking about, as if he had done a good deed. The unhappy Mouse was soon suffocated by the water, and his dead body floated about on the surface, tied to the foot of the Frog. A Hawk observed it, and, pouncing upon it with his talons, carried it aloft. The Frog, being still fastened to the leg of the Mouse, was also carried off a prisoner, and was eaten by the Hawk.

Explanation:

1. That mice and frogs don't mix, as frogs are aquatic and mice are land -livers.   2. That the mouse and the frog were good friends and perhaps trusted each other. The frog had probably been lonely and decided that the mouse would like the water (his home) as much as he did.                                                            3. The climax of the story is when the water suffocates the mouse and his body is carried away by a hawk, which resulted in the frog being carried away as well.                                                                                                                         4. The falling of the plot was how the frog was taken prisoner and made a meal for the hawk.                                                                                                                      5. The resolution of the story is that friends together does'nt mean friends forever. Basically, you can be best, best friends with anyone but at the end of the day, you belong somewhere lese and your friend somewhere else.

themes and meanings

there are two central themes in  the miracle worker: that the human spirit can triumph over even the most daunting of disabilities and that a dedicated teacher can transform the lives of those with whom he or she comes into contact. these inspirational themes have long been personified in the widely known true-life relationship between helen keller and annie sullivan, but  the miracle worker  also dramatizes collateral issues that extend beyond the particular case. underlying helen’s process of learning basic principles of what annie terms “obedience” (decorum, etiquette, and hygiene), there are more universal lessons of self-governance—the inculcation of self-restraint instead of willfulness, the development of self-discipline instead of self-indulgence. only when these lessons have been mastered can helen begin to acquire language—which, annie says, “is to the mind more than light is to the eye.”

i would say b. good luck!
