The Curse of the Bambino

(1) On December 26, 1919, the owner of the Boston Red Sox, Harry Frazee, made a decision that would haunt fans of the club for 86 years. He sold his best player, Babe Ruth, to the New York Yankees. This transaction marked the beginning of the "Curse of the Bambino." The Curse of the Bambino was the belief that, because the Red Sox sold Babe Ruth, they would never win another World Series.
(2) Ruth helped the Red Sox win the World Series in 1915, 1916, and 1918. However, his demands for a higher salary and his poor attitude caused Frazee to look for a chance to trade him. He chose an offer from the Yankees to sell Ruth for cash.
(3) Unfortunately for the Red Sox, Ruth would go on to become the greatest player in the history of the game. After purchasing Ruth, the Yankees would go on to become the most successful baseball club in history. They won their 26th World Series title in 2000.
(4) However, the worst part of the curse was that the Red Sox came very close to winning the championship several times but suffered heartbreaking losses. For Sox fans, seeing their team suffer heartbreaking losses was worse than the fate of teams like the Chicago Cubs, who were usually too bad to even get close.
(5) Finally, in 2004, Red Sox fans were rewarded for their loyalty. The Red Sox were able to defeat their rivals, the Yankees, to advance to the World Series. Then, they easily defeated the St. Louis Cardinals. While Red Sox fans suffered for 86 years, they would say that their victory in 2004 was sweeter because they had longed for it for so many years.

Which of the following sentences should be added to the end of paragraph 1?
A.
On the other hand, fans of the Chicago Cubs believe in the "Curse of the Billy Goat."
B.
That day in 1919 would prove to be one of the most talked about days in the history of baseball.
C.
Furthermore, there were other teams that supposedly had curses, too.
D.
However, curses do not really exist, even if the fans are convinced that they do.

Instructions: Using the image above, write a story. What do you think is happening in this picture? You may structure
your story however you like, but it should be labeled with an exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and

up their food and get ready to leave.
Rising Action: From behind a cloud, a spaceship appears. It hovers over the people.
Climax: With a loud crash, a bolt of lightning strikes the nearby tree, and it begins to fall. The spaceship catches the

else, just hovers over them, protecting them from the rain.
