Beatrice and Roy visit Roy's house after school to get white adhesive medical tape, antibiotic ointment, and gauze. At the time, Roy is unaware of what the medical supplies are for. However, Roy soon discovers that the medical supplies are to treat Mullet Fingers' dog bite wound. In order for the two kids to leave Roy's house without suspicion, Beatrice lies to Mrs. Eberhardt, saying they are going to Beatrice's house to complete a messy science experiment. As the two are about to leave, Beatrice says she and Roy have forgotten something.



"Oh, wait - you know what we forgot?"


He had no clue what Beatrice was talking about. "No. What did we forget?"


"The ground beef," she said.



Beatrice continues to lie to Mrs. Eberhardt, saying the ground beef is for their science experiment on cell decay. In actuality, the ground beef is for Mullet Fingers to use to make meatballs to place around the owl burrows, so that the owls will come out of their holes to eat.

Can you analyze the poem "Absolution" by Siegfried Sassoon?

"Absolution" is a short poem that contains three stanzas of four lines each. The word "absolution" means "forgiveness," and... Sure!

In chapter one of The Great Gatsby, what advice does Nick's father give him? How does this make him a good person to tell this story?

Nick says that his father advised him that, before "criticizing anyone," he "remember that all the people in this world haven't had the same advantages" as Nick.  As a result, Nick claims that he is "inclined to reserve all judgments," presenting himself to the reader as a fair and dispassionate arbiter of character, and thus, a reliable narrator.   The problem is that Nick immediately reveals himself as anything but reliable, as he then launches...
