It was the first day of swim camp at the community pool, and John was excited. He especially wanted to learn the butterfly stroke, which he'd seen on television during the Olympics. He looked at his mother, who was reading the camp roster. "Who's on my team?" he asked eagerly. "Someone named Micah Robinson. That sounds familiar. Do you know him?" she asked. John's face fell. Not Micah, he thought. He's the school's biggest bully. John tried to avoid Micah — that is, until they got in the water. Micah looked scared. "I don't know how to swim very well," he admitted. "Can you stay close to me in case I get into trouble?" John looked at Micah and thought about what he should do — then he agreed. By the end of the summer, John and Micah had become close friends, and when the school year started again, Micah had grown out of his bullying phase.

Respuesta :

The detail from the text that best helps us infer that "Giving someone a second chance can be good for everyone" is:

D. By the end of the summer, John and Micah had become close friends (and when the school year started again, Micah had grown out of his bullying phase).

  • The two main characters in the story are John and Micah.
  • Micah is the bully and John is just a regular kid who is afraid of Micah.
  • When they both get into the swimming pool, Micah displays insecurity about his swimming skills. He even asks John for help.
  • John could very well turn his back on Micah as a small revenge. After all, why should he help a bully?
  • Instead, he decides to give Micah a second chance, which proves to be good for everyone.
  • Not only do the both of them become friends, but Micah also stops bullying others.
