A reason I believe in teen curfews is my concern for teens' safety. When teens stay out late, they must either drive or walk home when they are tired, when visibility is limited, and when crime rates are statistically high. Therefore, curfews help parents and communities ensure the well-being of their young people by requiring them to be home early. Although I disagree with some of the traditional consequences for violating a curfew, I feel curfews are a good thing. Teen curfews can help protect young people. When writing either for or against a certain issue, writers will often use words with a positive or negative connotation. Identify 3 words or phrases from the paragraph that support the writer's beliefs about teen curfew.

Read the passage from a raisin in the sun. mama: lord have mercy, baby. you done gone and bought your grandmother a hat? travis (very proud): open it! she does and lifts out an elaborate, but very elaborate, wide gardening hat, and all the adults break up at the sight of it. ruth: travis, honey, what is that? travis (who thinks it is beautiful and appropriate): it's a gardening hat! like the ladies always have on in the magazines when they work in their gardens. beneatha (giggling fiercely): travis—we were trying to make mama mrs. miniver—not scarlett o'hara! mama (indignantly): what's the matter with you all! this here is a beautiful hat! (absurdly.) i always wanted me one just like it! which word or phrase from the text best supports the idea that the adults think the hat is inappropriate? “have mercy” (giggling fiercely) (indignantly) “what’s the matter”
