Answer:

i got you bestie

Explanation:

The Rubix Cube:

I should have known it was a bad idea, but that didn't stop me.  Going off to look for supplies in a zombie apocalypse wasn't one of my best ideas, but it seemed to be going well.  That was until I knocked over a shopping cart.  Immediately every zombie in the area locked on to me as if I was the last package of toilet paper during the pandemic.  

So now I find myself trying to outrun a swarm of zombies.  The only problem, well not the only problem but a main one, was that our zombies were fast.  Not the kind that limp towards you.  Our zombies were speed demons, in order to even out run them, let alone survive them, Captain Puffy had us endurance train for months before letting us out.  I can only imagine the rage that the Captain would feel right now if she saw me going against her orders.  

All of the sudden my backpack was flung from my back causing me to trip forward.  Scrambling to my feet I'm met with the sight of a familiar surrounding.

"What do you think you're doing Eren?" The Captain called towering over me.

"Well, uh you see,"

"Save it, it's not my responsibility to protect you if you're gonna defy my orders.  However, it is my responsibility to punish you," she smiled while cracking her knuckles.

"Captain that won't be necessary I swear.  It's just that my birthday is tomorrow and I wanted to have cake since I haven't exactly had the best two past birthdays."

As I thought back to my last two birthdays memories flashed through my mind of my close friends disappearing only to reappear as the walking dead.

"Look Eren, I understand that you need something to look forward too.  Heck we all do but putting yourself in danger for," She dragged her finger along the frosting and tasted it "a processed strawberry cake isn't worth it in the end.  I promise."

I frowned at her, "How would you know what's worth it or not?  You won't even tell us about your past."

She shot me a look, "Alright that's enough Eren.  Follow me to to the chamber.  We're locking you there for the next 24 hours so that you don't try anything on your birthday."

I began to complain to her before she stopped me,"As much as I care about you, I care about the rest of this camp too.  But I guess since your birthday is tomorrow I'll let you keep the cake."  

With that I was left in what we call the prison rubix cube.  I went and sat down along a red square.  Red always felt like an eery color to me but for so reason I was drawn towards it today.  

As the sun began to set I laid on the single white bed in the room and shut my eyes.  If I was going to be in here for awhile I might as well sleep through it.

As I came out of dreamland I was met by the sounds of my fellow survivors.  I assumed they were singing happy birthday to me, but when I unlocked the small singular window my stomach dropped.  All the members or the camp were screaming in terror.

"They found us."

"How did they get here?"

"This is the end."

"Someone save us."

But amongst the screams one voice stood out, "Eren, Eren.  Here quickly take the key and don't come out until its safe you must promise me.  If only one can survive I'm glad it's you."

"Puffy no, I can't this- THIS CAN'T KEEP HAPPENING ON MY BIRTHDAY," I screamed.

"Listen Eren, it's too late for the rest of us.  I'll try and lead the majority away from here but promise me.  PROMISE ME, that once you leave this room you'll get away and live.  You have so much more of a life to live."

"Captain just come into the cube, I- we can figure this out you'll be safe in here."

"EREN just promise me ok, I've already made up my mind on what's going to happen," she began to cry.  "I know you've only known me for a couple of years but you were always like a son to me."

Then she ran away without a chance to let me tell her how I thought of her as my mother.  But she would soon find out.  I son could never let his mother leave this world alone: even if it was a promise.  

So I opened the cube and walked out, "Don't worry Captain, you won't be without me for too long."

With that my eyes closed for the final time.

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

In Umuofia, the Christians are led by a kindly white man named Mr. Brown. Mr. Brown restrains the zeal of some of the fanatical converts. A convert named Enoch is particularly violent, always stirring up trouble; Brown strives to moderate Enoch's excesses. Mr. Brown is a wise and patient man; he befriends many of the local great men, and earns their affection. He spends a good deal of time with Akunna; they speak through an interpreter on the subject of religion. Neither man converts the other, but Mr. Brown learns much about the local religion and concludes that missionary work should be subtle and indirect: direct confrontation will not work. He also tries hard to get people to send their children to the Christian school. At first, people only send their lazy children. But more and more people begin to go as they realize that the ability to read and write opens up great social mobility. The DC is surrounded by Africans from Umaru; these literate subordinates earn high wages and how power in Umuofia. Mr. Brown's school begins to produce results.

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

The condition of the room and its contents cause Mr. Utterson and Inspector Newcomen to plan a trip to the bank in hopes of catching Mr. Hyde.

Explanation:

The excerpt in the question came from the fourth chapter titled the Carew Murder Case. We can see in this chapter that inspector Newcomen and Mr. Utterson had been questioning Mr. Hyde's actions since they had seen him behave suspicious lately. The investigators visited Mr. Hyde's room during the investigation and pointed out that his house was in a mess. The inspectors then decided that Mr. Hyde may not know what happened in his house so they went straight to the bank to investigate further. They learned on their arrival at the bank that his account was loaded with millions of pounds. The scene strengthens the story because it finally shows enough evidence for the prosecutor and the officer to continue investigating Hyde and trying to prove his guilt.
