A Walk in My Shoes Twin ninth-graders Emerson and Ennis Bentley were identical in every way except one—their approach to life. Both boys were brilliant, but Emerson was the ultimate introvert who preferred computers and the virtual world to the real world. Ennis was the extrovert who loved the companionship of others and found his joy interacting with friends. Occasionally, Ennis could convince Emerson to join him in an activity, though Emerson rarely actually participated and seemed content just to sit quietly and watch. Frustrated by his brother’s passiveness, Ennis eventually gave up try
What's the question here?
Which statement from the story best states the theme? Both boys were brilliant, but Emerson was the ultimate introvert who preferred computers and the virtual world to the real world. Ennis was the extrovert who loved the companionship of others and found his joy interacting with friends. You’re good at almost every sport you try, and everybody knows I’m not coordinated, and you never have trouble talking to people like I do. Frustrated by his brother’s passiveness, Ennis eventually gave up trying to lure Emerson to participate in the real world and left his brother to his own devices. What if just for today we trade places? I sit back and learn about codes, and you go to Bartholomew’s house and play basketba
Do you have any idea as to what the answer is?

Which details does the author use in "August Heat" to develop the theme that extreme weather conditions influence human behavior? Select each correct answer. But the heat is stifling. It is enough to send a man mad. There seemed nothing in the man strong enough to sustain that mountain of flesh. The one thing of which I was fully conscious was the awful heat, that came up from the dusty asphalt pavement as an almost palpable wave. “Everything is hot and glary outside,” I said. “This seems an oasis in the wilderness.”
Any ideas?
That'd be great if you would make a new post. Thank you.
