PLEASE ANSWER IM TIMEDLexie didn’t know what to do. The movie adaptation of her favorite book was opening on Friday, and Lexie a
nd her friends Tina and Jess were planning on being at the 7:00 p.m. show. For weeks, they had talked about the night –what they’d wear, how they’d get there, even where they’d sit in the theater. Lexie couldn’t wait! Until she arrived home from school on Friday afternoon, that is. Her mom greeted her at the door. “Guess what?” she said. “Your little brother made the finals of the spelling bee! The championship is tonight.” Tonight? Lexie knew how hard Sammy had worked to make the finals, and she was proud of him—but celebrating his big moment would mean missing a night she’d looked forward to for weeks! “Skip it,” Tina advised when Lexie called her later. “They’ll probably put a video of it online—you can watch it then.” That was true, but it still wasn’t the same as being there to cheer on her brother in person. Write a conclusion to the story. Remember to resolve the conflict in a satisfying way and to use details and transitions in your paragraph.
Even though Tina told her to skip it, Lexie had a nagging feeling in her gut that if she missed her brother's spelling bee, he would be extremely disappointed in her as well as her parents. After a half an hour of going through the list of pros and cons she had written, she called Tina and told her that although she truly did want to go to the show with them, she thought that her family should always come before friends. Tina completely understood and when Jess heard the news, she was disappointed but came to terms with Lexie's decision. As soon as Lexie arrived at the spelling bee competition, her brother's face lit up with pure happiness and joy when he noticed that Lexie was there with their parents. <em>This was the right decision.</em> Lexie thought while she cheered on her brother. At the end of the championship, her brother won and they all went out to celebrate.
