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

Answers

Answer 1

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.

Explanation:

Answer:

In the first image, this person is a speaker he has a great attitude by not slouching or leaning on any furniture and making eye contact with audience members. We do not know if using a friendly tone of voice or avoiding words such as “um,” “uh,” and “like" we would have to hear him for that.

After a while, Sarah and her grandfather got their lives together and Sarah applied for multiple jobs to help out her and her grandfather. After all, Sarah was 15, going on 16, and was becoming a young adult.

I kinda put a little too much "after" in this paragraph. Can anyone help me get rid of that and replace it with something better? TY

Answers

Answer:

After a while, Sarah and her grandfather got their lives together and Sarah applied for multiple jobs to help out her and her grandfather. Ultimately, Sarah is 15, going on 16, and was becoming a young adult.

Explanation:

Sarah and her grandfather eventually got their lives together, which prompted Sarah to apply for multiple jobs, allowing for even more support for the duo.

I dont think the second part is particularly neccesary, as it kinda contradicts the first half of the paragraph- which says that Sarah needs a job for added support, but the second half seems to say Sarah needs a job because she is growing up.

Also, most places wont hire anyone until they are 16.

Choosing the right dog to adopt is a big responsibility that takes some thought and planning. To begin with, there are hundreds of breeds of dogs available to pet owners. They all have the potential to be great pets, but not every breed is right for every person. For example, Veterinarian's Weekly categorizes a Jack Russell terrier as a high-energy breed. My aunt has one, and that thing is crazy! It needs walks like 24/7. Therefore, it would be best suited to a very active family that has a large yard and a walkable neighborhood. In addition to energy level, pet owners should consider the size of their dog. How could this excerpt from an essay best be revised to clarify meaning and enhance style?

2. Comparative

3. Superlative

4. Superlative

5. Comparative

Explanation:

Adjectives like happier, funniest are saying that is more happy or more funny so they are comparing. Adjectives like big or noisy are just saying how is it so they are superlative.

Answer:

1. Comparative.

2. Comparative

3. Superlative

4. Camparative.

5. Superlative.

Explanation:

Superlative is when you are comparing more than two things, for example, I have a small dog, a medium dog, and a big dog.   If I were to compare them it would be like "That is the biggest dog".  So basiclly superlative is extreme, which will end with est or moost than whatever, while comparative is comparing two things.  Which will end with "er" or more than whatever.

Read this excerpt from "Rules of the Game."

"Bite back your tongue," scolded my mother when I cried loudly, yanking her hand toward the store that sold bags of salted plums. At home, she said, "Wise guy, he not go against wind. In Chinese we say, Come from South, blow with wind—poom!—North will follow. Strongest wind cannot be seen." The next week I bit back my tongue as we entered the store with the forbidden candies. When my mother finished her shopping, she quietly plucked a small bag of plums from the rack and put it on the counter with the rest of the items.
