The Cupcake Contest
Neal was so excited. His high school was having a bake-off, and the owners of a local cupcake shop were going to judge. Neal had always had a knack for cooking and baking, and he was pretty sure he could win this contest. He'd perfected his classic vanilla cupcake recipe.
On the way to biology class, he asked his friend Liza what she was baking for the contest.
"I'm going to make my grandmother's red velvet cupcakes, topped with cream cheese frosting and cinnamon," Liza replied.
Neal groaned. Liza's cupcakes sounded so much more creative. Suddenly, his simple vanilla cupcakes seemed lame.
Determined to impress the judges, Neal changed his cupcake recipe. He added a marshmallow filling to each cupcake. To liven up his buttercream frosting, he added purple food dye, lavender oil, and licorice extract. The cupcakes still looked boring, so he garnished them with gold dust, rice paper birds, and edible flower petals.
In spite of all these adventurous touches, his cupcakes turned out lopsided and goopy, and the frosting tasted strongly like licorice. But he was sure the cupcake judges would look highly on how fancy his cupcakes were.
Neal could hardly wait for the contest results to be posted after school. But when he saw the list on the wall, his mouth fell open. He didn't win any prizes, not even as a runner-up. And first place had gone to one of his classmates, Drew Feldman. The description by Drew's cupcakes read, "Classic Vanilla."

Which character: takes pride in his lawless ways*
Ponyboy
Dally
Two-Bit

Answer:
Dally
Explanation:
We can this conclusion because examining the story "The Outsiders" by S. E. Hinton, we notice that Dally (or Dallas Winston), appears to be very lawless among the group of boys.
In fact, we are told that he had dealings with gangs in the past, and he often takes pride in the crimes he has committed before. Evidently then, Dally is the character that takes pride in his lawless ways.

Answer:
The correct answer is noun.
Explanation:
This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:
What part of speech is the word in italics?
Brian walked slowly home, as the day was so warm and pleasant.
Noun Verb Adverb AdjectiveA speech has 8 parts. Let's see all of them with the explanation:
The Eight Parts of Speech
Noun: It is a word that names or designates people, animals, things, places, feelings or ideas referring to their common characteristics of the species or class without taking into account their distinctive features or particularizing their meaning.Pronoun: They point to or represent people or objects, or refer to facts already known to the speaker and listener.Verb: Are used to express actions, states, attitudes, conditions, events of nature or existence.Adjective: Qualifies the noun, and provides additional information or complements its meaningAdverb: They inform us how or in what way an action is carried outPreposition: An invariable word that is used to join or relate words so that one becomes a complement to the other.Conjuction: It is used to join two words or elements of the same grammatical hierarchy.Interjection: It is made up of a word or short expressions, enclosed in exclamation marks and their intonation is independent in oral speech and they are enclosed in commas in writing.Can somebody help me write a speech about why we shouldn't have the death penalty anymore. You don't have to write it for me!
Answer:Ok i will help you here are some reasons why
Explanation:The death penalty is irreversible. Absolute judgments may lead to people paying for crimes they did not commit. Texas man Cameron Todd Willingham was executed in Texas in 2004 for allegedly setting a fire that killed his three daughters. Following his execution, further evidence revealed that Willingham did not set the fire that caused their deaths. But it came too late.There is no credible evidence that the death penalty deters crime more effectively than a prison term. In fact, evidence reveals the opposite.
Since abolishing the death penalty in 1976, Canada’s murder rate has steadily declined and as of 2016 was at its lowest since 1966.The 2006 execution of Angel Nieves Diaz, by a so-called ‘humane’ lethal injection, took 34 minutes and required two doses. Doctors have said that it is likely Diaz’ death was painful.
Other brutal methods of execution used around the world include hanging, shooting and beheading. The nature of these deaths only continues to perpetuate the cycle of violence and may not alleviate the pain already suffered by the victims’ family.Executions are often undertaken in an extremely public manner, with public hangings in Iran or live broadcasts of lethal injections in the US. According to UN human rights experts, executions in public serve no legitimate purpose and only increase the cruel, inhuman and degrading nature of this punishment.
“All executions violate the right to life. Those carried out publicly are a gross affront to human dignity which cannot be tolerated,” said Hassiba Hadj Sahraoui, Amnesty International’s Deputy Director for the Middle East and North Africa.In 2017 two countries – Guinea and Mongolia – abolished the death penalty for all crimes.
Today, 106 countries (the majority of the world’s states) have turned their backs on the death penalty for good.Those that continue to execute are a tiny minority standing against a wave of opposition.
There are countless arguments for and against the death penalty. In an imperfect world where we can never be sure we have ever got the “worst of the worst” is it ever justified to take a life?
Answer:
The death sentence should not be canceled because some people do extremely bad things like kill another person so it's only right

Gym Rats
by c.safos
Stage Set: Late in the evening in the Hammer House Boxing Gym, most of the regulars have left. A scattered few people still remain. In the background, a man uses a jump rope. A woman does push-ups.
(CAIN, a small boxer, sits on a bench unwrapping the protective tape off of his knuckles and wrists using his teeth. SERGIO, his sparring partner and best friend, cuts away at the tape on CAIN'S other hand.)
SERGIO: I know you've got a hand in there somewhere.
CAIN: (spitting the tape out of his mouth) Well, remember to stop cutting once you see bone.
(The people exercising in the background finish their workouts and move off stage, leaving the focus of the audience on CAIN and SERGIO.)
SERGIO: Right, like you'd be able to feel it otherwise. I don't even think you have bone in there. I think you've got anvils in your hands.
CAIN: Are you kidding? I'll need more than anvils come fight night. Doerkson is a monster in the ring. To bring him down, I'll need a lead pipe and a tank if you can spare them.
(Freed from the cast of protective tape, CAIN'S hands start to violently shake. CAIN closes them into a fist until they calm.)
SERGIO: What was that?
(CAIN stands up and walks over to a nearby heavy bag and starts to throw light jabs.)
CAIN: It's nothing, just nerves. It'll calm down after the fight.
SERGIO: Have you seen a doctor?
(CAIN'S light jabs get heavier.)
CAIN: Seriously, I'm fine. Just nerves.
SERGIO: You don't get nerves. You don't get worried or stressed. I know you. What's going on?
(CAIN'S heavy jabs get heavier as the heavy bag begins to sway.)
CAIN: I'm fine. Let it go.
SERGIO: You can't stonewall me. We're going to a doctor tonight. I don't want to see you end up like Motts, stumbling around, shaking, can't even hold a spoon to eat, let alone throw hands. He took too many punches to the head, and now, his head is like a snow globe—just little flakes floating around in there. As a matter of fact. . . .
(CAIN begins to pummel at the heavy bag, and the bag begins to rock violently.)
CAIN: Let it go! I'm not going to any doctors now. If I do, the athletic commission steps in. If they step in, they'll cancel the fight. They do that and I'm out of a purse. I need that money! And if you call yourself my friend, you'll keep quiet.
(SERGIO walks over and stops the swaying bag.)
SERGIO: It's your funeral.
(SERGIO walks away to the locker room. CAIN'S hands start to shake again until CAIN closes them into fists. The tremors stop.)
