describe a time in the discussion when you asked a follow up question to get more information I need help! its for my project I haven't finished it yet its 11:26 I started 3 hours ago!!!

Most people are familiar with the general structure of a hen's egg. Its outer covering is known as the shell. The shell is hard and easily breakable. It is made of a chalky substance known as carbonate of lime or calcium carbonate. It is a white-colored, natural substance that can also be found in chalk, limestone, and marble.
If you put some pieces of an eggshell into a cup and pour over them a little vinegar, you will see them melt gradually. Then, small bubbles of gas will rise into the air. But if you take a long and narrow strip of the shell and heat one end of it, after a short time, that end will become softer. It will also glow brightly. This happens because the shell is converted into lime. Lime is the substance builders use to make cement. This bright glow is really a light, which is always produced when a piece of lime is heated.
Just inside this eggshell is a thin membrane, or skin, that can be easily peeled off. Next to this, comes the "white" of the egg. It is a colorless liquid but turns white and more or less solid or firm while cooking. Last of all, in the center of this egg sits an oval, yellow mass that is called the "yolk."
Now, imagine this egg is reduced in size and the outer shell is entirely removed. The skin or membrane is converted into a firmer substance of a rough nature, and finally, the yolk is absent. This egg would then represent the egg of a butterfly or a moth.
The eggs of these insects are simply little, liquid masses, usually of a colorless substance, which have a rough covering surrounding them.

Which of the following aspects of theodora’s behaviour before and after the manuscript is mailed best illustrates her overall emotional state?

Does anyone have an idea on a the first sentence should GRAB the reader in an introduction paragraph? My introduction paragraph is below

There are many reasons why people of all ages are happy or unhappy in life. One of the common reason for people’s unhappiness is obesity. Commonly, obese people have a hard time walking or getting around, can be required to use a walker, cane, scooter, or wheelchair. They also need assistance with taking care of their basic needs. Often obese people snore, experience shortness of breath, have serious health problems, are not able to participate in some activities, are bullied, and live with many other issues which includes challenges like social, emotional, and physical problems in life.

The book can be found online. Question: By the end of the story, Ben and Rose are now in the same location and the same time. The relationship between the two is revealed and deeply connected to a small collection of items: Ben’s locket (pgs. 505-507), the Wonderstruck book (pgs. 515 – 519), and the seashell turtle (pgs. 548 – 549).

For this analytical paragraph, choose ONE of these items and compose a cohesive and thoughtful analytical paragraph that explores the symbolic nature of the object. What does this object represent to Ben? What does this object represent to Rose? How does this object connect the two characters? How is the author using this object to convey a message or lesson to the reader? (It might be helpful to start with your ideas about that last question as your thesis and then use the other questions to support and explain the thematic connection). Please help within the hour. I will mark brainliest.
