If I had to choose one word with a slightly more negative connotation, I would say "stubborn." While stubbornness can sometimes be seen as a positive trait, it often implies a refusal to change or adapt, which can be viewed as negative in certain situations.
Read the poem below and answer the following questions.
In the tempest's dance, flowers tremble, a delicate ballet,
Their petals catching whispers, as storms try to sway.
Yet, in the gusty waltz of the relentless gale,
Each bloom stands resilient, a tale to unveil.
Raindrops like silver tears, on petals that they tread,
Yet, flowers bow not, they raise their glistening heads.
Against the thunder's roar, they send a silent protest,
Fragile strength emerges, creating a quiet conquest.
In the storm's fierce grip, where the shadows play,
The blossoms still endure, blooming come what may.
A metaphor for life, in the garden's sway,
Perseverance whispers, "You'll find your way."

With sorrow, he cried, with sorrow, he fought.

They toiled all night, and into the day.

In the heart of Elmridge Middle School, where lockers slammed shut like a rhythmic beat and laughter echoed through the bustling hallways, there lived a quiet girl named Maya. She had a secret talent that she kept hidden from her classmates—a collection of vivid dreams that seemed to come to life when she closed her eyes. Every night, as the moon cast its silver glow, Maya's dreams transported her to fantastical realms where talking animals shared wisdom and colorful landscapes stretched as far as the eye could see.
One day, during a particularly challenging math class, Maya found herself drifting into a daydream, her mind wandering to the magical worlds she visited at night. As she doodled whimsical creatures in the margin of her notebook, a sudden realization dawned on her: perhaps her dreams held the key to navigating the complexities of the real world. Little did Maya know, her journey into the realm of imagination would not only unlock her own potential but also bring a touch of magic to Elmridge Middle School.
