Lines 100-125: state a theme of the story and cite textual evidence that supports your response, FROM THE SHORT STORY MY LIFE AS

Nina [5.8K]

The Theme of My Life As A Bat is that bats are treated horribly by humans.

In lines 21-29 Atwood states "I have recurring nightmares. In one of them I am clinging to the ceiling of a summer cottage, while a red-faced man in white shorts and a white V-neck T-shirt jumps up and down hitting me with a tennis racket. 
These lines are a reference to how humans treat bats. The man is trying to get rid of her because he feels as if he is in danger. Atwood uses the line "hitting me with a racket" to show how she was treated. He does not care for her well being, he just wants to get rid of her.
Bats are seen as objects more than the wonderful and interesting creatures they are. We as humans should try and inform others more on how bats are not as dangerous as they seem.

If Cicero and Quintilian had a debate about the style of the Latin language, neither would likely argue that the language is best when it is simple and clear.

What is debate?

A debate is a procedure that involves formal dialogue about a certain issue, sometimes with the participation of a moderator and an audience. Arguments are presented during a discussion for frequently divergent points of view.

In the past, debates have taken place in public gatherings, educational settings, debating rooms, coffee shops, contests, and legislative assemblies.

A debate has also been held for instructional and social objectives, typically in connection with academic institutions and debating organizations. These arguments place a strong focus on logical coherence, factual precision, and audience appeal.

Rules permitting participants to discuss and choose the debate's structure are also included in contemporary forms of competitive debate (how the debate will be judged).

Which statement BEST describes the difference in how Melody and her coach view the base position? A. Melody and the coach both t

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

D. Melody thinks the base position is not important and that it is less valuable than flyer; her coach thinks the base position supports the whole team.

Explanation:

Throughout the story, its obvious to see Melody's frustration that she can't fly in the air and that she feels that the base positions is pointless. To support my answer, here are some quotes from the passage that evidently shows that she wasn't pleased with the results that came to her.

Melody:

"Well, Melody was definitely not laughing with her. Was this some sort of mean joke to keep Melody from getting the attention she deserved as a flyer?"

"Melody had not been in a cheerful spirit since her coach listed the line–up for the stunting routine for the competition."

"Melody could not understand why her coach had dismissed her from the position when she knew that she could handle the pressure of the competition."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is some evidence to support my answer that the coach thinks the base position is quite prominent to the whole team.

The Coach

"I am very proud of you for taking on the new base position for this competition. I hope you realized the importance of being the base because it is the foundation that holds the entire stunt group together. You are definitely a star Melody, so do not ever worry about that. I appreciate you stepping out of the spotlight to let someone else have her moment to shine. You are a true star in my eyes."

"After practice, the cheer coach pulled Melody aside and congratulated her on her efforts in the base team. "I always know I can count on you, Melody. We may have to reassign your stunt position full time. This might be your new calling," she laughed."

I hoped this helped a lot!
