“The Lady or the Tiger” Which Door?
In the story, “The Lady or the Tiger?” by Frank R. Stockton, the man opens the door and sees a tiger. The reason why because his lady points to the right door and she is madly in love with him. The king says that if the accused chose the door with the women he shall be married immediately. She doesn't want that she wants to be together with him forever. Even if that means if he has to wait on the side. So in the end they are together dead.

"Marigolds" Before You Read: Moving into Adulthood
Some conflicts or fear we young people have going into adulthood is money. We wonder if we will have enough to pay for food or a place to stay. Also we fear of certain responsibilities and punishments. Like if we drive without a seat belt on we have to pay for it also we are responsible for who is in the car.

"Thank You M'am" Before You Read: Going Gets Tough
There is some truth to the saying “When the going gets tough, the tough get going.” Almost like the survival of the fittest, the ones that are stronger will survive longer. Some people just know how to not give up because they have a really strong will that can't be broken as easily as others. Not everyone is physically tough in fact, most people who have to go through tough situations are mentally tough. Your body has limits but your mind doesn't which is the reason why people who are old can get through tough situations then most of us young people. Only because they more experience then others and they probably have came across the certain problem before so they know how to solve it and get past it.
