My name is Hosea, and I live in a town called Hawkville. Last month, the mayor of my town passed a new law to ban skateboard riding in town.

Where am I supposed to ride my skateboard now?How would Hosea most likely describe the new skateboarding law?

safe

necessary

unfair

important

Mom asked, drying her hands.     "I have this red rash on my arm and my stomach hurts," I said.     Mom turned from washing the dishes and said, "Let me look at your arm."     "Mom told you to stop eating all those strawberries, but you didn't listen," Nedra chimed in.     Little sisters, I thought to myself.

They're so fresh and ripe and. . . ."     Mother began rubbing my arm with a wet rag. The redness disappeared. "Good news, Chelsea.

Initially, I wasn’t at all thrilled about spending the summer with my grandma. After all, who wants to spend his or her summer in Smallville, Middle of Nowhere? And with his or her grandma, no less? My friends and I could think of 100 things to do to keep ourselves busy. Grandma, on the other hand, is far from active. What was I going to do without someone to ride skateboards and play video games with?     “Joseph, I just wanted to let you know how proud of you I am. Thank you for agreeing to spend the summer with Grandma Josephina,” Dad said.     Agreeing? As if I had a say in the matter! I thought.     “Thomas, you took the words right out of my mouth,” Mom said. “Son, your grandma has been sick for a while now. She can’t get around like she used to. We are so glad you can be there with her.”     “Now, Kara, I hope you haven’t been too worried about your mother. She’s one tough cookie,” Dad said.     “At least we know she’ll be in good hands with Joseph,” Mom replied. She touched my hand and smiled.     Suddenly, hanging out with my friends and being stuck in the middle of nowhere didn’t seem so important. My grandma had taken care of me when I was little. The least I could do was help her out for the summer.
