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.

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.

She is maintaining eye contact and not fidgeted or drawing attention to herself. Like, the guy in the first image we would need to hear what she is saying to know if she was doing the right thing as well like to not heave or sigh.

Answer:

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.

What is the speakers tone/attitude?
What is the theme of the poem?

Answers

The author/speakers tone is Joyful, curious, and also sorrow. In the beginning if the work, we see her describe the grass as glistening and overall describing the atmosphere positively and then she goes in to say "Still must I make this mystery my guest?" Which indicates a little bit of an unknown. She also stated "there is no show of beauty to delight" which aids to the sorrow tone as well as later on she goes into describing the night and waiting for the moonlight. Ending it with "To solve for me, I think, this mystery" adding to the curiosity aspect. I hope this helps in some way, good luck!

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.

The side is the side with the highest number and is to the left.

The numbers are subtracted.

Answer:  125 to the right.

Step one: Look at the arrows, one is left, one right, so we must subtract.

Step two: 200 - 75=125

That narrows down your answers to 125 to the left, and 125 to the right. Since the 200 arrow is pointing right (or the way the force is when the man pushes) then you would say 125 to the right.

Explanation:

Net force is figured out by adding up all of the individual forces on an object. If forces are in opposite directions (like now the arrows are opposite) then you subtract them.
