Q2W1D2 - SUMMARY, PRECIS AND PARAPHRASE

David’s mother was very kind - very much like our own mothers. We thought Pampanga mothers must be different. But she was not. She was very fond of David. She said she was glad he had found new playmates. She wanted David to be happy. She thanks us for being nice to him. And we felt rather guilty of the way we had treated David at the beginning of the school year. PLS PARAPHRASE.

• MOTHERS ARE FOND OF THEIR CHILDREN. JUST LIKE DAVID'S. SHE IS HAPPY THAT WE ARE HER SON'S PLAYMATES. WE FELT SORRY THE WAY WE TREATED DAVID BEFORE.

• DAVID'S MOM IS VERY NICE LIKE THE OTHER MOMS. WE WERE THINKING THAT A PAMPANGA MOTHER MUST BE DIFFERENT BUT WE WERE WRONG.

A life of action and danger moderates the dread of death. It not only gives us fortitude to bear pain, but teaches us at every step the precarious tenure on which we hold our present being. Sedentary and studious men are the most apprehensive on this score.Dr. John was an instance in point. A few years seemed to him soon over, compared with those sweeping contemplations on time and infinity with which he had been used to pose himself. In the still life of a man of letters there was no obvious reason for a change. He might sit in an arm chair and pour out cups of tea to all eternity would it had been possible for him to do so. The most rational cure after all for the inordinate fear of death is to get a just value on life. If we mere wish to continue on the scene to indulge our head-strong humour and tormenting passions, we had better be gone at once; and if we only cherish a fondness for existence according to the good we desire from it, the pang we feel at parting which it will not be very server.

It is an ant, you wonder, or a termite? Ants resemble termites, but they are quite different and can be easily distinguished. In contrast to termites, ants are usually dark in color, are hard bodied, and have contrition between the thorax and abdomen. Termites are light in color and shed their wings. Flying ants do not shed their wings. Also, ants and termites belong to different orders.

• Termites are lighter in color and lose their wings at a certain stage of development.

• Ants are dark in color, hard bodied and belong to a different order than Termites.

• Ants and termites are both insects and have many things in common.
