Please I need this asap​

It was a fun day, an easy day. That type of day where one sits back to relax.

Kathy and I were planning to hang out in the basement of my house. Actually, we had planned to be at the park, but it was raining. I had brought snacks while Kathy had brought some delicious drinks.

As we walked down the stairs, I had a feeling today was going to be different. I wasn't sure why so I ignored the feeling.

We had the whole day planned out. We had taken the day off work so we could be together. We were going to do each other's makeup and play truth or dare, what are the odds, and some other various games.

Kathy, being one of those people who can't stand unplanned events, had planned everything out. Well, almost everything.

When we got to my basement, the lights were out. I ran upstairs and grabbed a flashlight, determined not to let this ruin our fun.  It was dark upstairs too.

"Kathy, the power has gone out," I said.

She groaned. "Of course it has."

"We'll still have fun!" I said positively.

"If you say so." She rolled her eyes.

"Come on, Kathy," I lightly teased her. "Everything will be fine."

"Sure it will," she remarked snidely.

There was no point in arguing with her, so we got right to having fun.

A while later, after we had made each other look like clowns and eaten all our snacks, we lay on the floor in my basement, completely exhausted.

"That was fun," Kathy smiled as she spoke, sincere.

"Told you!" I smiled back at her.

"I should go now. Bailey -" that would be her dog - "is probably waiting for me at home."

"I'll walk you out," I offered.

I waved as she left. "Be careful!" I reminded her. "The power's out."

She mumbled in response and kept walking.

I headed down to the basement to clean up the mess of snacks and wrappers. I noticed her bag was still there.

I was instantly overtaken by curiosity. I knew I shouldn't, but I still I opened her bag and looked inside.

There was nothing special in there, just typical stuff. I wondered why I had felt the need to open the bag. I grabbed the bag and rushed upstairs in the dark.

"Kathy!" I called in the hallway. Fear was beginning to take over me. "Kathy?" I said, a bit quieter.

"Yes?" Kathy appeared behind me, and her sudden presence scared me.

"You forgot your bag," I said breathlessly.

"Oh thanks, Melissa!" she said as she turned and walked away.

I was almost to my apartment when I heard a shrill yet guttural scream pierce the air. "Kathy?" I yelled, alarmed. No response. I huddled in my apartment.

A few hours later, when the lights came back on, a body was found dead on the floor, bleeding to death.

We had planned everything except the power cut. And the death, of course.

Elsa and her sister Rachael used to visit their parents every year during the summer holidays. During one such summer, Elsa decided to throw a surprise party for her sister Rachael towards the end of the vacation. She got together with her and Rachel’s friends and planned everything from the music to snacks to decorations as well.

When the day of the party came, there was a major power cut in the whole neighborhood. Since the party was planned for night, it would be a huge problem. They had planned everything except the power cut. Elsa asked her parents for help, but their power back-up wasn’t working as well.

Rachael was about to reach home soon. Elsa and her friends had to think of another plan quickly. One of the friends suggested they go to a nearby shop and ask the person for their generator, since he was also a childhood friend of theirs.

They ran to get the generator and just got back in time to do the final set-up for the party, just as Rachael pulled up in the driveway. Everyone yelled “surprise!” She was happy to see all her friends and family celebrating her graduation party with such enthusiasm.

In the middle of the party, Rachael pulled Elsa into a corner and asked her, “How did you pull this off in such a short time?” Elsa replied, “We had planned everything days before, except for the power cut.” And they started laughing.

Read the excerpt from Outcasts United.

The conversation with Jeremiah settled Luma's mind on the question of Ashton's: it was time for her to admit her failure and walk away. But while the failure of Ashton's hurt Luma's ego, it was also an opportunity to focus her life on more important things. She wanted to start a business that could employ women like Beatrice, paying them fairly without making them commute halfway across Atlanta by bus or train.

Luma’s decision to walk away from Ashton’s supports the theme

“New businesses can be just as successful as old ones.”
“Helping others is more important than a successful business.”
“Luma’s ego was no longer telling her what she needed to do.”
“Businesses that help others are better than ones that do not.”

Study: ‘High Incomes Don’t Bring You Happiness’
By Caitlin Kenney 2010
People often have conflicting ideas about whether or not money can buy happiness. Some believe that the lifestyle that money can offer is equivalent to happiness, while others fear that money can lead to greediness that can never be satisfied. In this study, psychologist Daniel Kahneman and economist Angus Deaton seek the answer to this question. As you read, take notes on the different definitions of happiness that exist and how they are affected by money.
How much money do you think it would take to make you happy? Would an extra $10,000 a year do it or would it take a $100,000 salary bump to improve your mood?
A new study from Princeton economist Angus Deaton and psychologist Daniel Kahneman suggests that number depends on how you define happiness. The authors draw a distinction1 between emotional well-being, “the quality of a person’s everyday experience such as joy, fascination, anxiety, sadness, anger, and affection” and life evaluation “a person’s thoughts about his or her life (on a longer time scale).”
Their study of data from the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index found that while “life evaluations rise steadily with income,” emotional well being drops off at about $75,000 a year.
Beyond $75,000, money is important for life evaluation, but does nothing for happiness, enjoyment, sadness, or stress. Both factors are important; it is good to have high emotional wellbeing, but it is also good to think your life is going well.
According to the most recent census2 data, the median US household income was $52,000 in 2008, with about a third of households making above $75,000.
Text-Dependent Questions Directions: For the following questions, choose the best answer or respond in complete sentences.
1. PART A: What statement best identifies the central idea of the text?
A. Money makes people happy above anything else.
B. “Emotional wellbeing” is solely dependent on wealth.
C. Money plays only a very minor role in people's overall happiness.
D. Money is able to influence people’s happiness to an extent.
2. PART B: Which detail from the text best supports the answer to Part A?
A. “would it take a $100,000 salary bump to improve your mood?” (Paragraph 1)
B. “Beyond $75,000, money is important for life evaluation, but does nothing for happiness,” (Paragraph 4)
C. “it is good to have high emotional wellbeing, but it is also good to think your life is going well.” (Paragraph 4)
D. “the median US household income was $52,000 in 2008, with about a third of households making above $75,000.” (Paragraph 5)
3. PART A: What does paragraph 5 suggest about the "emotional wellbeing"? of an individual with the median household income in 2008?
A. The average household in the US would be happier with a higher income.
B. Only “life evaluation” would increase with a higher income.
C. Some people in the United States make too much money and it’s harmful to average Americans.
D. Increasing the average household’s income would decrease the country’s overall “emotional wellbeing.”
4. PART B: Which section from the text best supports the answer to Part A?
A. “number depends on how you define happiness.” (Paragraph 2)
B. “’life evaluations rise steadily with income,’” (Paragraph 3)
C. “emotional well being drops off at about $75,000 a year.” (Paragraph 3)
