SHARKS' TEETH

Langston Carter


The day we found the sharks' teeth was foggy and cool. Moisture hung in the air so thick you could almost see it sparkling in the dim sunlight. There were days, early in the summer like this one, where it seemed there was more water in the air than in the bay. We had beached the boat and stepped out on the recently cleared spit of land. The ground had a light dusting of white sand over an under layer of dried black mud. It looked like a recently frosted chocolate cake, though the frosting was spread a bit thin for my taste. The ground was solid, but we knew from experience that it was full of fiddler crab holes, and would be underwater at the first super-high tide. Mysteriously, to us anyway, someone wanted to build a house there.


We often came to these spots to look for artifacts. Our beach, our summer home, had been a fishing camp for as long as anyone living could remember. The oldest stories told of travelers coming down to the edge of the sea, lining up to fill their wagon beds with salted fish to take back home. Old decaying cabins still lined the beach. Rotting nets, hung out to dry in the last century, decorated their weathered walls. Their broken faces spun stories in our minds. The fishermen who, tanned and wrinkled from sun and salt, hauled their nets full of splashing mullet in to cheers from the waiting crowds. The bounty of the sea lightened everyone's hearts, and the smell of roasting fish filled the damp air. Women fanned themselves from wagon seats. Children splashed in the shallow edges of the bay. It was a scene we had acted out as youngsters, building an imaginary bridge to a life we would never fully know.

In Raymond’s run How does the author develop the rising action of the story?

Answers

The exposition takes place at the beginning of the story and provides the audience with important background information regarding relevant events, settings, and characters. In Toni Cade Bambara's short story "Raymond's Run," the exposition includes Squeaky's description of herself and her mentally disabled older brother, Raymond. The audience learns that Squeaky is a fast runner and esteemed sprinter, who lives in Harlem, New York. Squeaky enjoys practicing running. She is in charge of watching Raymond, who follows her everywhere and who is rather difficult to look after.

The rising action includes Squeaky's tense interaction with Mary Louise, Rosie, and Gretchen, which takes place while Squeaky is strolling down Broadway with Raymond. Squeaky sticks up for Raymond when the girls make snide remarks. She is determined to beat her new rival Gretchen at the May Day races. The rising action also includes Squeaky arriving at the local May Day celebration to participate in the fifty-yard dash. The rising action continues as Squeaky makes her way to the starting line and ends when the climax begins.

The climax includes Squeaky racing against Gretchen in the fifty-yard dash. During the race, Squeaky notices that Raymond is running stride-for-stride with her on the outside of the fence and is impressed by his speed. The falling action includes Squeaky hearing the results of the race and thinking about coaching Raymond. Squeaky believes that Raymond could become an excellent runner, and she is willing to help him achieve his potential. The denouement includes Squeaky smiling at Gretchen and entertaining the idea of asking her to help coach, Raymond.

Answers

Answer:

Paul Ryan mentioned the death of his father to explain why he is qualified to be vice president.

Explanation:

Mostly, in the most stories - some of the characters has to explain their reasoning on why were they qualified to be this, why were they chosen to do this, or why they have to be on a quest. But the characters will mention about what happened before choosing to do it, like how Paul Ryan mentioned the death of his beloved father, for his reasoning.

In Raymond’s run how does the conflict in the story impact the characters?

Answers

Answer:The conflicts a character faces are either external or internal. Both of these conflicts exist in "Raymond's Run", and Hazels' internal and external conflicts stem from the same sources. Hazel's internal conflicts have to do with her love of running and her love of Raymond. Hazel exudes confidence on the outside about her running, but she feels the pressure of maintaining her reputation as a fast runner. She wouldn't be human if she didn't worry about being able to continually prove herself on the track. There's no doubt that Hazel loves Raymond, but she also feels burdened by having to care for him. She must feel conflicted about the time it takes away from her running to take care of her brother.

Her external conflicts are with those who would hurt Raymond with their unkind remarks and with those who would threaten Hazel's reputation as the fastest runner. Mary Louise, Hazel's former friend, tries to make fun of Raymond, but she is no match for Hazel's caustic defense of him. Mary Louise represents all of the people who would make fun of Raymond or any other handicapped person. Hazel's external conflict about her running is with Gretchen, the new girl in school.

The benefits of cooking classes are so great that all schools should offer cooking as part of the standard curriculum. Food preparation is a skill that students will use throughout their lives. For example, Youth Focus magazine reports that early culinary education is likely to help young adults live independently, reduce expenses, and even offer meals to friends and family. But the benefits of cooking classes go beyond learning to chop, mix, and sauté. I mean, admit it: Cooking is way better than having to take a boring class like nutrition or science, and you can learn some of the same stuff. Plus, it's kinda fun, and you get free food.

How could this essay draft best be revised to clarify meaning and enhance style?

A. Maintain a formal style.

B. Clarify the topic and purpose in the topic sentence.

C. Use transitions to clarify the flow of ideas.

D. Use evidence that supports the topic sentence more clearly.​

Answers

Answer:

B?

Explanation:

Answer:

I believe the answer is A

Explanation:

The paragraph started with an overall clear topic sentence which then was developped with examples supporting the claim. However, the tone shifted and became less formal when the writer started talking in the first person, gave his/her opinion, and adressed himself/herself directly to the readers. Therefore, I think the answer is A.
