: ) I need help!
My first day of high school was a total nightmare. I will never forget that day. I was a skinny, freckled, 14-year-old nobody. I just wanted to blend in, but I somehow spent the entire day being noticed for the wrong reasons. I messed everything up. I forgot my books. I went to the wrong classes. So when I went to the wrong lunch session and ended up in a room full of seniors, I wasn’t surprised. Luckily, someone came to my rescue. Sensing my anxiety, one girl pointed out that I was lucky to be lost in that room because it was the meeting place of the school’s new Community Service Council. She volunteered to take me to the food court and told me to ask her if I ever needed help. Beneath the red, white, and blue school banners, I watched her skip away to help another boy who had dropped his tray. Apparently, I wasn’t the only one having a bad day. The Community Service Council ended up having a huge effect on my high school life. I just wish I could have found it in a less embarrassing way.

A. to inform readers about a normal day at high school

B. to persuade readers to join the Community Service Council

C. to entertain readers with a funny story about the first day of school

D. to express an opinion about the importance of community service

Part 2: thoreau’s ideas had a profound effect on a man named gandhi. gandhi, was a leader in india who worked to end british rule. he led india to independence and inspired many to non-violent forms of protest and resistance. he fought to end poverty, worked to expand women's right to vote, and built bridges between ethnic and religious groups. like thoreau, he lived simply, owned very little, and ate a vegetarian diet. in india, gandhi's form of protest was called the "non-cooperation movement." he urged indians to boycott british education systems and leave government jobs. the movement was very popular, and in part to stop its spread, the british controlled government arrested him. after a few years, he was released and became active in politics again. he inspired many to follow him on marches to protest various taxes. on one such march, thousands followed him 240 miles over 24 days to the sea to protest a salt tax. this march set the example of non-violent resistance to the government that others in the country followed. eventually india won independence from britain, in large part because of gandhi work. gandhi's model of resistance and reform was creative, appealing, and successful. as a result, dr. martin luther king looked to gandhi when the time came to find a way to resist segregation in the south. the lunch counter protests, famous for the passive response to anger, and even violence, aimed to end the separation enforced by laws in some regions of the south. king also organized walks, marches, and bus rides that were meant to bring attention to the issues facing african americans. these forms of protest were directly modeled on gandhi's, but king took them straight to the source of oppression. where gandhi's protests created awareness and built momentum, king's protests were in the face of great hatred and fear. the passive, non-violent protests were ultimately effective, mainly because the passive response to violence cast the opposition as brutes. however, change came slowly and at the cost of many lives. king remained committed to peaceful protest, however, until his death. king learned from gandhi, expanding on what worked, applying old techniques to a new problem. gandhi owed his philosophy, in part, to a new england poet who loved the woods. read this sentence from part 2: like thoreau, he lived simply, owned very little, and ate a vegetarian diet. what is the point of this sentence? gandhi and thoreau had similar childhoods. gandhi had many admirable qualities. thoreau and gandhi were very similar. thoreau had a simple life compared to others.
