I NEED A ESSAY ON HOW FINGERPRINTS CAN VARY/CHANGE.

José had looked forward to his first day of high school for as long as he could remember. Not only would he get to experience interesting classes and a stimulating social life, but he would also be able to enlist in the Student Activities Coordination Committee, which his older sister had been raving about for years.
On the first day of day of school, José spied a banner for the Student Activities Coordination Club and rushed over to investigate. He found a sign-up sheet for the group and scrawled his name on the list, pondering which activities he wished to plan.
At the committee’s annual inaugural meeting, the president and committee officers introduced themselves and detailed their plans for many of the committee’s regular activities. Then the president announced that she wanted to create a new activity this year, something to get the group more involved with volunteering and with the community. José inquisitively listened to the president’s request.
The president asked the members to think of a few ideas to tell at another meeting later in the week. José departed from the meeting pondering how his group could positively affect the community. José and his family had volunteered many times in the past. His parents had always instilled in him the idea that volunteering is invaluable because it makes the community a better place.
José tried to draw on his volunteering experiences to help him think of an activity for the committee. José reminisced about the time he doled out piping hot meals at a soup kitchen. He contemplated the time he and his dad had planted lush, green trees in the park. Suddenly, José recalled another volunteering experience. A number of years ago, he and his family had volunteered at the Bristol County Animal Shelter. While volunteering there, José had prepared food, washed animals, and cleaned the cages. He remembered that it was one of his favorite volunteering experiences.
José realized that the shelter had meager operating funds and that it relied on the generosity of the public to survive. This gave José a wonderful idea. He decided to suggest that the committee commence a walk-a-thon to raise money for the animal shelter!
At the committee meeting, members presented their ideas to the group. José wasn’t certain that his idea would be chosen because there were so many worthy causes mentioned by other students. When José had his chance to speak, he relayed his experiences volunteering at the shelter and gave a brief overview of his idea for the walk-a-thon; everyone adored his idea.
Upon hearing the news of the committee’s plans, the animal shelter workers were overjoyed. They asked if they could attend the event with some of the animals from the shelter. Over the next weeks and months, José led a team of his peers in planning and developing the plans for the walk-a-thon. They designed posters to advertise their cause and displayed them in local establishments all over town. They enlisted the help of their fellow students, friends, and family to find volunteers to walk and sponsors to donate money. They even solicited food and beverage donations so that all participants would have refreshments to enjoy.
On the day of the event, hundreds of people—and a few animals—arrived at the school’s track field to complete the walk. The turnout alone almost took José’s breath away, not to mention the enormous sum of money raised for the animal shelter; the event was a huge success. At the end of day, José gazed at the scene before him and smiled with pleasure, wondering if anything to come during the rest of his high school career could possibly provide him with a more valuable experience.

This Mystery Rocks! By Cyntha Schlagel

1The Drifting Rocks are a strange phenomenon still unexplained by science. 2Located in Death Valley, California, the rocks sit on hot, flat ground. 3Unlike normal rocks, they have trails etched behind them as if they have traveled across the sand. 4Some trails are only a few feet. 5Some trails are over a half a mile long. 6Each trail is as baffling as the next.

7The variety of rock movement has baffled scientists for decades. 8Some rocks seem to roll as they move forward. 9Some take unexplainable routes. 10Large ones have traveled past small ones that have stayed still. 11Some scientists suggest that the rocks are pushed by wind. 12Others believe they slide on small amounts of ice or mud. 13So far, research has not confirmed any theory.

Patrick lived in Emoryville, but every Saturday morning he rode two city buses to his uncle’s bookstore in Northview where he worked. He didn’t mind the commute because he loved his job. He loved spending time with his uncle, but he also loved going to work because he had become friends with Andrew, one of his co-workers. The boys would talk about everything from baseball scores to movies to favorite pizza toppings.

So this Saturday, when Patrick got to work, he and Andrew got to talking as they always did.

“Hey, Pat,” Andrew said casually.

“Hey,” said Patrick. “Did you have a good week?”

“Yeah,” he said. “Great week. My basketball team made it into the semifinals. The game is tonight. We’re playing Emoryville, our nemesis.”

Before Patrick could say another word, Andrew continued. “I don’t like Emoryville. I don’t think I could ever be friends with someone from that town. Our schools are such rivals.”

Patrick was speechless.

“Where are you from, Pat? I can’t believe I’ve never asked you that before!”

Patrick fumbled over his words. “Not too far from here,” he said before he quickly changed the subject to the new shipment of graphic novels.

Suppose Patrick's uncle enters the scene. In 3–5 sentences, explain how the additional point of view might add humor or suspense to the scene.

Use the excerpt from the story "True Reign" to answer the question.


Liana’s hands had been in the hot dishwater for so long, her fingertips were puckered. Blowing a strand of damp hair from her face, she wiped crusted food off a platter and handed it to Winnie, who struggled to keep up with the drying. Poor Winnie. At 14, she was just one year younger than Liana, but she was so skinny, she looked only 10. Sometimes, Liana snuck her food from her own plate, but they all got so little, there wasn’t much to share. Now, Cook clanged two pots into the basin, splashing Liana’s apron, which was already soaked.

“Winnie!” Cook yelled, one large hand holding a bowl of whipped cream. “Get yourself out to the dining room and help clear the dinner dishes!”

Liana watched Winnie go, wishing Cook had sent her, instead. The Prince was in the dining room this very minute. But Liana had a plan to set eyes on him one way or the other. She schemed as she scrubbed and scoured and sweated.

Suddenly, a girl’s scream came from the dining room. Then the double doors banged open and Mrs. Thorpe entered, dragging a girl by the shoulder. It was Winnie. All the color had drained from her face, and she could barely walk.

“You’re worthless!” Mrs. Thorpe shouted at her. “Can’t even bus dishes without getting in your own way.” She gave Winnie a little shove, letting go of her shoulder. Winnie crumpled to the floor—but Liana, who was coming toward the commotion, caught her.

Gently, Liana lowered her to the floor. “You’re burned! She’s burned,” Liana said to the innkeeper, examining Winnie’s arm, where a large red welt was already starting to blister. “How did this happen?”

“Girl didn’t have the good sense to step out of the way of a hot pan,” said Mrs. Thorpe. The innkeeper shifted her glare to Liana. “And you’ll find out soon enough what happens to girls who take that tone with me. Don’t you have a job to do?”

In Liana’s arms, Winnie was whining softly. “It’s all right, Winnie,” Liana whispered.

Now, the innkeeper leaned down to grab Liana’s arm. “I said—”

“Excuse me?” A young man was standing at the doors, which were still propped open. The innkeeper straightened, drawing in a breath as she realized the kitchen was in full view. “My sergeant has a salve that should ease the girl’s burn.”

“Thank you,” said Liana. The man was tall, with dark hair that curled to his shoulders and piercing green eyes. His trousers and tunic were simply styled, but well-made of rich, purple cloth. The buckles on his tall brown boots were forged in real silver.

“Thank you, my Lord,” said Cook, bending down to sweep Winnie into her arms. Bowing her head, she gave a brief curtsy. “This kitchen’s got no shortage of salve.” Cook turned to whisper in Winnie’s ear. “Cook will take care of you now, lovey.”

As Cook trudged from the kitchen, Liana stood, noticing for the first time that everything around her had stopped. The kitchen girls, the busboys, even the innkeeper stood, turned toward the man in the doorway, their heads bowed.

“Liana!” hissed one of the girls.

Liana looked around, then back at the man, who was staring at her, a half-smile on his lips. An amused look sparkled in his eyes. And then it dawned on her. She had laid eyes on the Prince, after all. Horrified, she bowed her head, giving herself a view of her soaked apron and general disorderly appearance. Keeping her head lowered, she snuck a look up at the Prince through her bedraggled hair.

He was still looking at her—and then he spoke to her. “What’s your name?”
