All members of the animal kingdom need sleep to help their brains function properly. The brain needs a minimum number of hours to rest and
organize itself. The number of hours depends on age. For example, human babies need an average of 14 to 16 hours of rest daily, while adults
can function on about 6 to 8 hours. Scientists are not completely sure what the brain does during sleep periods, but they do know that the brain
sorts and stores information and replaces chemicals when a person sleeps.

I'm writing a short story for school, can someone tell me if I need to revise or change anything? Here is my short story;
First Day of School a short story by Keith Trimew

On the first day of school, Reyota woke up and was not ready for his first day of 6th grade. “Wake up kids and come eat breakfast, I better not see a dirty room either” Reyota’s Mom exclaimed. “Ok fine mom” Reyota cried in despair, not ready to go to school. Reyota then woke up his big sister, Runa, and also woke up his little 5-year-old sister, Yumemi.

They then all went to go brush their teeth and took a shower to be ready for school. Reyota was always the first person to finish his morning routine since he was the only boy in the family, well except his father he works in computer science and Reyota misses his dad cause he never comes home that much cause he’s always at work. Then the kids all head up to the kitchen table to see a wonderful, exquisite first day of school meal. “Wow, mom you really have done it” Yumemi shouted being cheerful as always. They all enjoyed their breakfast and they headed out for the bus. “Bye mom, love you, and thanks for the amazing breakfast,” the kids said. “Today is my very first day of kindergarten” Yumemi exclaimed as she was ready to meet new people and make great friends. They all walk to their bus stop ready to go to school.

They had made it to school and they all were heading to their provided class. Reyota had entered what looked like the best class he had ever seen in his life. The classroom was so decorative and he saw his name tag propped on his desk with three other students at his table. His teacher was a brunette, average height pretty lady who he had already met. Her name was Mrs. Jabami and she had welcomed her students into the classroom. “Welcome everyone!” Mrs. Jabami shouted as the students glaired at her. “Today I’m not gonna stress you and give that much work since it's only your first day.” Reyota was always a little shy. “So to start off this wonderful day, let's play my favorite game, Icebreaker!”

Everyone in the class learned each other's names and Mrs. Jabami announced the class project. They were all put in groups. “Ok class so today we will be doing a big art project and you all will be put in groups of five.” They were put in five and Reyota was already beginning to like this new year and his new classroom just fine. “For any crafts, go behind my desk for anything you like but make sure it's a single file line, Mrs. Jabami exclaimed. They all walked and formed a line as they were ready to start.

‘Ding Ding Ding’! The bell rang for lunch and the students grabbed their lunch boxes but some were a school lunch. Reyota’s mom made the best lunches. They made it to the lunch table and Reyota saw his sisters and they looked like they had made new friends while he hadn’t. Lunch ended and it was time to head home, it was a rough first day for Reyota as he felt that he didn’t make any friends cause all his friends were back where he used to live because he had moved. This is gonna be a new chapter for Reyota as his new school year, new school, and the new house had been set into motion. He walked home and thought to himself I can’t wait to meet new people!

The League, like Local 25, had expected a turnout of four or five thousand. They were bowled over by this army, utterly unprepared for it. They had organized strikes in the garment trade, small ones, usually confined to a single shop, but never before had they undertaken something on so vast a scale. They might fail, might be laughed at by the whole of New York as well as John Dyche and the ILGWU men, and all the same they knew this was the challenge they'd been hoping for — their chance to show the world they were more than highbrow butters-in, just as the shirtwaist makers were more than irresponsible little girls.

What conclusion can be drawn by connecting knowledge of the historical time period with information in the text?

By providing an organizational structure for working women, the Women’s Trade Union League caused New York to make fun of men’s labor unions.
By providing an organizational structure for working women, the Women’s Trade Union League made the shirtwaist makers appear irresponsible.
By providing an organizational structure for working women, the Women’s Trade Union League gained enough strength in numbers to have some power.
By providing an organizational structure for working women, the Women’s Trade Union League destroyed women’s chances for fair labor practices.

What details about animal captivity are ONLY found in Passage 1? Include at least TWO details from the text to support your answer. Write your answer in the space provided. Remember to clearly reference the text.

Read the excerpt from “Drummer Man.”

It turned out to be a good thing that I signed on again. It wasn’t long into my second year when our regiment fought at the Siege of Corinth. In the heat of the fight, we made a desperate charge across a ravine and Captain Williamson was wounded. So the call came in for a quick retreat, but unfortunately, the captain was left there between the lines. Somebody had to rescue him, and it was one of two times during the war that I was happy for being small. I took off in a stooping run, unseen by the enemy, and somehow found the strength to drag Williamson back to the stretcher-bearers and out of harm’s way.

Based on the excerpt, how does the narrator’s size affect his experiences?

A: It leads to him getting wounded.
B: It helps him to get rescued.
C: It leads to him being a stretcher bearer.
D: It helps him save his captain.

Which sentence from the passage provides evidence that Whitney is a more sensitive person than Rainsford?

PLEASE HELP
I choose this quote and I don't really know how to put it in words why I agree with whoever said this “America is an improbable idea. A mongrel nation built of ever changing disparate parts.” The quote means that the United States was not expected to be constructed in the way that it is today. Discordant things and people came together and formed America, it is still happening today. Even though America fails more than it accomplishes it has made an enormous impact on the earth's society.

PART B: What phrase from paragraph 3 is an example of
something that is being described as "perennial"?
A "impertinent grief"
0 B "tribute of delight"
