small

white

afraid of heights

whispering

in the cold, dark carton

to the rest of the dozen.

They are ten now.

Any meal is dangerous,

but they fear breakfast most.

They jostle in their compartments

trying for tiny, dark-veined cracks-

not enough to hurt much,

just anything to make them unattractive

to the big hands that reach in

from time to random time.

They tell horror stories

that their mothers,

the chickens,

clucked to them-

merengues,

omelettes,

egg salad sandwiches,

that destroyer of dozens,

the homemade angel food cake.

The door opens.

Light filters into the carton,

"Let it be the milk,"

they pray.

But the carton opens,

a hand reaches in-

once,

twice.

Before they can even jiggle,

they are alone again,

in the cold,

in the dark,

new spaces hollow

where the two were.

Through the heavy door

they hear the sound of the mixer,

deadly blades whirring.

They huddle,

the eight,

in the cold,

in the dark,

and wait.

Urgent will give brainliest to the first correct answermeee major test (1) wayne gretzky once said, “you’ll always miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” (2) life would be dull and boring if no one took risks. (3) many people have accomplished astonishing things because they took a risk. (4) in other words, my mind is set on the belief that it’s worthwhile to take risks. (5) one reason to take a risk is that you can learn from your mistakes, and that allows you to accomplish your goal correctly the next time. (6) for instance, the wright brothers dreamed of being able to fly. (7) they decided to invent the airplane. (8) certainly, they weren’t able to construct it perfectly the first time, so they took a risk and kept trying until they finally got it right. (9) because they learned from their mistakes, that encouraged them to continue to work hard and succeed at inventing one of todays most convenient inventions, the airplane. (10) another reason to take risks is that you can form relationships. (11) a good example of this is the play, “novio boy” by gary soto. (12) rudy, the main character, asks patricia, his crush, to go on a date with him. (13) he took a risk because she is older than him, and rudy wasn’t sure of what she would say. (14) fortunately, patricia agreed to go out with him. (15) therefore, taking risks can be positive and you form relationships. (16) in conclusion, you never know what you are capable of until you take a risk. (17) there could be many motives that could make you want to take a risk. (18) the result could turn out to be either good or bad. (19) despite the consequences, you never know what you could achieve before you take the risk. the word "before" does not appropriately connect the two clauses in sentence 19. which word should replace "before"? unless although since after
