Need this asap ill mark brainliest and give a 5 star Read the excerpt below from the reading. Then rewrite the excerpt from the point of view of Shiro’s neighbor.
The greedy neighbor, hearing of this new piece of good luck, was filled with envy as before, and called on the old man and asked to borrow the wonderful mortar for a short time, pretending that he, too, sorrowed for the death of Shiro, and wished to make cakes for a festival to the dog’s memory.

The old man did not in the least wish to lend it to his cruel neighbor, but he was too kind to refuse. So the envious man carried home the mortar, but he never brought it back.

Several days passed, and Shiro’s master waited in vain for the mortar, so he went to call on the borrower, and asked him to be good enough to return the mortar if he had finished with it. He found him sitting by a big fire made of pieces of wood. On the ground lay what looked very much like pieces of a broken mortar. In answer to the old man’s inquiry, the wicked neighbor answered haughtily:

“Have you come to ask me for your mortar? I broke it to pieces, and now I am making a fire of the wood, for when I tried to pound cakes in it only some horrid smelling stuff came out.”

Answer:

I couldn’t believe my neighbor’s luck. Why did good things always happen to him and not me? It wasn’t fair at all. I knew that I had to do something to make things more equal between us. I approached him one day and asked to borrow the mortar. I could see that he was suspicious of me. I lied to him about my intentions, saying that I wanted to make cakes for a feast in memory of his dog. I pretended to be plunged into sorrow at his dog’s death, even though I had secretly killed the dog. I had hoped doing so would make us equal in our misery.

The old man agreed to lend me his mortar, but I think he was just foolishly too weak to say no. I took the mortar home with absolutely no intention of returning it to him.

I immediately tried to make cakes with the mortar. Instead of the wonderful bounty I had heard about, I ended up with something foul smelling. I was enraged. I tried to use the mortar for a few days, but it continued to fail me. Once again, I felt like the victim. Why must I suffer, while my neighbor profited? I broke the mortar into pieces and began burning it in a fire. My neighbor came to my house at that time. He seemed shocked at the sight of his precious mortar burning to ashes. I was consumed by fury and said to him, “Have you come to ask me for your mortar? I broke it to pieces, and now I am making a fire of the wood, for when I tried to pound cakes in it only some horrid smelling stuff came out.”

She honed her organizing skills and became a lobbyist in Sacramento, helping set up voter registration drives and fighting for the legal rights of migrant workers.

I need a title. Read this story and give it a title, AND HURRY!!!:

I knew I Should have worn a parachute today. My name is Olivia Wade, I am 15 years old and this is the story of how I jumped out of a plane parachute-less, And lived to tell the story. The day started out like any day. I had overslept ( again!) and was late to school, and my best friend, Ava, was already sitting there waiting for me. “ What took you so long? School starts at 8:00 and you're not usually here till 10:00. It’s 10:30!” Ava said. “ Yeah, yeah, I Know. I just-I slept in a little that’s all. Where’s Andrew?” I asked. “ His dad is being cruel again and won’t let him out of the house.” Ava answered. “ oh, Okay.” I was a fan of Andrew and his work. He’s a model and he’s not even in college yet! But, I’ve always dreamed of being a fashion designer. At lunch, Ava and I sat with a friend of hers named Nickolas. “ hey girls!” cheered Nick. “ Hi” I replied. “Hey Nicky!” Giggled Ava. “ Did you girls get an invite from Andrew yesterday?” Nick asked politely. “ I got one” Ava said. “ I DID TOO!!!” I yelled. “ Um...Okay!” Nick stuttered. “ sorry, I just-” I got distracted by a boy walking into the school building. It was Andrew! I kinda panicked. “ You okay?” Ava Asked. “ Yeah!” I replied. Andrew walked over to where Ava, Nick, and I were sitting. “ Hey Guys! Did you get the invitations I sent?” Andrew asked. “ Yeah, we got them” Nick stated. “ Great, and you are all coming, right?” Andrew asked again. “ yeah” Ava replied.
“ Great! See you later!” Andrew cheered.


AFTER SCHOOL…….

I was worried because the invites were for skydiving, which I've never done before. The plane took off and everyone was grabbing a parachute, except me. “ What’s wrong?” Andrew asked me. I tripped over my words, “ I’m okay- I mean I’m just- I’ve never skydived before'' I Stammered. Andrew laughed, then tried to help me find a parachute. He was shocked when he discovered that there were no more parachutes. “ oh, well, I guess hold on tight to me.” Andrew said. “ WHAT!? HOLD ON TO YOU?! I MEAN OK-I MEAN, let’s go before I change my mind.” Ava, Nick, Andrew and I all jumped out of the plane at the same time. And believe it or not, We all ( including me) Landed safely. This was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had! Then, Andrew had to go, Nick, Ava, And I were gonna go get some Ice Cream. “Andrew! Wait!” I exclaimed. “ Listen, I have to tell you something. I’ve wanted to tell you for a while but I was too worried about how you would react. I like you more than a friend, I would do anything for you Because I-I love you.” I had finally got that off my chest. Andrew told me he had felt the same way about me. I was EXTREMELY SHOCKED!!! “ You DO feel the same way? And you aren’t just saying that?” I asked him. “ You think I’m lying? Why would I lie to you. I care about you and your feelings.” Andrew replied. I just said, “ wow!” while my mind was screaming, “ AHHHHHH! HE LIKES ME TOO?! THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!!!” Andrew got in his limo and Ava, Nick, and I went to go get some ice cream. Maybe, I didn’t need a parachute today. Cause if I had one, All that stuff wouldn’t have happened. It feels good to face your fears every now and then. And let that be a lesson to all you lovesick girls out there, If you want him to know, accept the invite, and forget the parachute!!!

BRAINLIEST FOR RIGHT ANSWERS
Read these paragraphs and answer the question that follows:

In 2008, more than one million American students gave nearly 20 million service hours to their communities. They made a difference in people's lives and learned some important life lessons in the process. Organizations, including schools, are actively promoting service for all citizens as a way to be involved, help others, and improve themselves.
Service is helping other people and being active in your community. For example, one group of teens planted a community garden with their friends. They grow a variety of vegetables. The garden requires regular care. The teens donate the produce to a local soup kitchen. Workers there use the produce to help feed people in the community. By tending the garden and donating their produce, the teens are actively helping make life a bit better for others in their community.
Service is valuable in ways that cannot be measured in dollars. People volunteer or serve others without expecting money or gifts in return. Service is not about earning money. It is not just collecting money to give to a group. It is about action and contributing to the common good. The people who serve as well as those who receive help benefit in many ways that are more important than money or gifts. For example, a soup kitchen provides essential food to people who may otherwise go hungry. The soup kitchen is extremely valuable for those struggling to get enough to eat. Those serving learn about compassion and how helping others can improve life for all.
Millions of Americans are making society better for themselves and for others. They are participating citizens in their community, raising up those who are less fortunate. In return, they become better people who can understand the perspectives and needs of others, which are invaluable and important qualities of good citizens.
