Is the October issue of scholastic scope’s story "Our beautiful Town is Gone" (about the fire in Paradise, California)



How are the people resilient?

Answer:

The people of Paradise are resilient in their refusal to give in to the force of nature and its aftermath and rather decide to rebuild their lives from scratch.

Explanation:

The article "Our Beautiful Town is Gone" is about the great fire that ravaged the town of Paradise in California in what is regarded as the deadliest forest fire in the history of California. It also provides an account of the citizens during and after the fire, and how they are rebuilding their lives after the disaster.

Lucas's mom Holly simply states that "It’s the people that make a town" which seems to suggest that the fire had not diminished their spirit and their sense of community. Despite the fire damaging most of their homes and properties, they refused to give up and relocate to another town or place. Rather, they came back to their homes, rebuilding their lives from scratch and helping each other. This is the "resilience" that Holly was talking about, the zeal to move on and not give up despite the severity of the damage done to them, the whole town of Paradise.

How shall I describe what we saw? On the bed lay two women, Lucy and her mother. The latter lay (farthest) in, and she was covered with a white
sheet, the edge of which had been blown back by the draught through the broken window, showing the drawn, white face, with a look of (terror) fixed upon it. By her side lay Lucy, with face white and still more drawn. The flowers which had been round her neck we found upon her
mother's bosom, and her throat was bare, showing the two little wounds which we had noticed before, but looking horribly white and (mangled.) Without a word the Professor bent over the bed, his head almost touching poor Lucy's breast; then he gave a quick turn of his head, as of one who listens, and (leaping) to his feet, he cried out to me:-

As the crowd stilled, I adjusted the plano bench along with my formal evening gown that tralled out behind me just like a wedding dress. The first chord rang through the auditorium, and my nervousness was forgotten. Every note sang melodic perfection. Finally, I finished. Forgetting about my long dress, I pushed the piano bench out excitedly, which created a tangled mess of dress and piano bench legs. Suddenly, I was lying on the stage with my feet straight in the air. Quickly, I jumped up and took a bow while the crowd applauded wildly. Walking offstage, I couldn't stop smiling, knowing it was a night I would never forget. Which statement best describes the theme or author's purpose of this text? A.

hang-­bo’s job was to report business stories. He toured collective farms, shops, and factories with a notebook and tape recorder, interviewing the managers. Back in the newsroom, he would write his stories in fountain pen (there were no typewriters) about how well the economy was doing. He always put a positive spin on the facts, although he tried to keep them at least plausible. By the time they were edited by his superiors in Pyongyang, however, any glimmer of the truth was gone. Chang-­bo knew better than anyone that the supposed triumphs of the North Korean economy were fabrications. He had good reason to scoff at the report about the rubber boots.
