Answer:

In "A Wolf and Little Daughter,"

the author builds suspense by having the wolf repeatedly appear and disappear. Each time he reappears, the wolf is closer to the girl and she is closer to getting home safely, which makes the suspense grow because her chances of getting away safely seem to grow as she gets closer to the gate and decrease as the wolf gets closer to her.

In the text, Jesse Owens is described as an international hero. Why were his actions in theSummer Olympics heroic? Despite his h
Alika [10]

Answer:

James Owens' actions in the Summer Olympics were heroic because he won four gold medals in track and field and set a record proving to Hitler that "Aryans" were not a superior race as Hitler claimed it to be.

Despite his victory, Owens was called racial slurs and mistreated in Berlin and his own country. Back in the US, he still had to suffer the consequences of racial segregation and not receiving job offers after his victory.

A hero should be treated in the complete opposite way to how Jesse Owens was treated. A hero should be recognized and honored every day for his or her actions nationally and internationally.

Explanation:

Jesse Owens was an African American athlete. He participated in the Summer Olympic Games that took place in Berlin under Adolf Hitler's power.

Even though Hitler and other people were against Jewish and athletes of color in the games, Owens participated and won four gold medals and set a record, which proved to all the racist people that white Europeans, also known as the Aryans race, were not superior. Despite his victories, he did not receive the recognition that he deserved in the US due to social segregation.
