TWICE I WALKED WITH DINOSAURS

One summer we found

a dead baby shark

washed up on the beach,

cut it open with a dinner knife

[5]from the house,

and performed an

outdoor autopsy.1

As we marveled2 at its

miniature anatomy,

[10]reveled3 in the smallness

of each little organ,

seagulls circled overhead.

The ocean was quiet,

barely making waves.

[15]It kept vigil4 for its tiny causality.

The spring prior,

an alligator wandered

onto the beach during my

uncle’s second wedding.

[20]It was far enough away

to merit an absence of fear, but

nobody took photos or said

a word— we just stared

as it settled itself in the surf,

[25]hoping to be cleansed.

Question:
How do the words used to describe the speaker’s examination and reaction to the shark contribute to the tone of the passage?

​

Answer:

I'm going off a hitch and with no answers for me to select, I'm not sure but I believe it sets a tone of seriousness and curiosity with the words describing the world around them being specific and realistic.

Explanation:

Just what I believe is right. Hope this is correct or at least good enough for you!

Which detail from the excerpt best supports the inference that food was more consistently available in larger towns? O Pig farmers keep their fitches of bacon back in storage until they can get a better price for them later in the winter. O Such tactics are made even more profitable by the unhappy fact that harvests can fail, causing local and sometimes national--food shortages. O Large towns are less vulnerable, being part of an international market that sees preserved foods traded long-distance, but much of the countryside is dependent on fresh food. O After a poor harvest, prices for all commodities--not just grain-rise dramatically and the poor are unable to make ends meet.​
