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.

Why did Tybalt attack and kill Mercutio instead of Romeo, who he had originally been targeting?

Though Tybalt's quarrel is with Romeo, he begins the momentous duel in Act 3 by fighting with and killing Mercutio instead. Tybalt ultimately attacks Mercutio because the garrulous and hot-headed character insults Tybalt and goads him into a duel to protect Romeo's honor. From the beginning of the encounter in Act 3, Scene 1, it's clear that Mercutio is itching for a fight. For instance, when Tybalt signals that he wants to talk to Mercutio...

In Martel's Life of Pi, how does writing a diary help Pi Patel build on his leadership skills?

At the end of chapter 73, Pi first divulges the fact that he had started a diary after about a week alone at sea. Pi claims that he wrote about "practical stuff" (208) such as what he caught for food, foreseeable problems and solutions, Richard Parker, and reflections about specific events that occurred. In a sense, Pi is the captain of his ship; therefore, he must take responsibility for himself and his crew. He can...
