Barrett has been invited to attend an important baseball camp over the summer, but his mother, who works two jobs to support the family, tells him that they simply don't have the money to send him. Barrett is devastated, but he won't give up on his dream and decides to start mowing lawns to earn the money himself. He goes to the Mitchells' house first and knocks on the door. His teammate Kai answers, and he is not happy to see Barrett. Kai plays ball on Barrett's team, but he has not been invited to the summer camp and is still upset. Barrett wishes Kai's sister, Charise, or his father had answered the door. At least they would be reasonable. Barrett presses on anyway and offers his lawn-mowing services to Kai. Kai snickers and says they don't need their lawn cut. Barrett looks at the Mitchells' overgrown front lawn and knows Kai is lying, but he shrugs his shoulders and leaves to visit the next house. There are plenty of houses on his street; he'll earn that money somehow. What are the conflicts in this story? How do Barrett's actions move the plot forward? What does Barrett's response to the conflict tell you about his character?

"the children's hour" by henry wadsworth longfellow between the dark and the daylight, when the night is beginning to lower, comes a pause in the day's occupations, that is known as the children's hour. i hear in the chamber above me the patter of little feet, the sound of a door that is opened, and voices soft and sweet. from my study i see in the lamplight, descending the broad hall stair, grave alice, and laughing allegra, and edith with golden hair. a whisper, and then a silence: yet i know by their merry eyes they are plotting and planning together to take me by surprise. a sudden rush from the stairway, a sudden raid from the hall! by three doors left unguarded they enter my castle wall! they climb up into my turret o'er the arms and back of my chair; if i try to escape, they surround me; they seem to be everywhere. they almost devour me with kisses, their arms about me entwine, till i think of the bishop of bingen in his mouse-tower on the rhine! do you think, o blue-eyed banditti, because you have scaled the wall, such an old mustache as i am is not a match for you all! i have you fast in my fortress, and will not let you depart, but put you down into the dungeon in the round-tower of my heart. and there will i keep you forever, yes, forever and a day, till the walls shall crumble to ruin, and moulder in dust away! which literary device does longfellow use most frequently in the poem? a. simile b. metaphor c. repetition d. personification
