Jake Bryant played hockey for seven years. He was the goalie in an advanced youth hockey league in Colorado. During the last two years that Bryant played, he suffered five concussions. This forced him to retire from the sport at age 16. Hockey player Alexandra "Z" Karlis, age 17, was also sidelined by a concussion. She sustained a brain injury when a player on the opposing team blindsided her with an elbow to the head. Protecting kids from the long-term effects of concussions is the motivation behind Senate Bill 40, which Colorado recently signed into law.

what is the poem? we can't answer without the name of the poem.

cornelia

explanation:

we don't know all that much about cornelia aside from what granny tells us about her, along with what we can gather from her few lines of dialogue. it's hard to picture her, too, since we're not given any details about her mannerisms or what she looks like. she could be dressed like a circus clown, for all we know.

even though we wouldn't recognize cornelia if we ran into her on the street, we can't but feel a lot of sympathy for this character. first of all, she's super nice and granny pretty much treats her like dirt. she's constantly asking granny if she needs anything and granny usually responds by snapping at her. here's a typical exchange:

"i thought you might want something."

"i do. i want a lot of things. first off, go away and don't whisper." (14-15)
