Read the excerpt from the story Time for a Change and examine the illustration. When lunch was served, Carlos refused to put on any toppings, causing Stacey to gaze at his hot dog in dismay.

"I like predictability," Carlos explained patiently. "I know that I love plain hot dogs, and I don't want to ruin a perfectly good meal by drowning it in toppings that I might loathe."

"You miss out on amazing opportunities if you refuse to have new experiences," Stacey protested. "People say that variety is the spice of life because it makes everything more interesting." (2 points)

Carlos glared at Stacey, handed back the hot dog, and walked away from her challenge to make a change. Eventually, Carlos's feet slowed, and he considered Stacey's words carefully. Perhaps he had been too careful because he was afraid; maybe he could try something new. Carlos returned to the stand and piled toppings on top of his hot dog. He discovered that he loves pickles, ketchup, and onions.

Carlos's frown shows that he is upset by Stacey's challenge.

The hot dog stand shows that plain hot dogs are the best.
Carlos's clothing shows that he lives in New York City.

based on the biblical principle philippians 4: 13 "i can do everything through christ who strengthens me." i agree that it is through him that we are given the strength to cope with every situation.

and based on the biblical principle proverbs 16: 32 "better to get angry slowly than to be a hero. better to be even-tempered than to capture a city."   i agree with the author of the passage to the extent that the nobility of heart demonstrates the strength of a person. those who are contemptuous, get angry easily and show their anger toward others are really weak, but those who are noble and make sure to not hurt other people and their feelings are strong people.
