You have just read Watership Down and “How the Zebra Got His Stripes,” two passages that try to teach lessons through their characters. Write an essay in which you argue whether Frith or Zebra taught a lesson more successfully. In your response, be sure to include details about the characters’ behaviors, the nature of their conflicts, and how their conflicts are resolved. Write a well-organized, text-dependent response. Be sure to save time to edit and review your work for complete sentences, spelling, punctuation, and appropriate language.

2. his harsh scrutiny made me self-conscious of my skills in the lab.

3. perhaps it was just me, but the air in the laboratory began to thicken as i found myself having difficulty to breathe.

4. i turned to look at him fully as i mentally prepared myself for what my very first words would be to thomas edison.

5. the next couple of seconds shocked me. it wasn't me who spoke, but rather him and with diction i could never think of using in a simple sentence.
