When she comes I will meet — but there they are!Maggie attempts to make a dash for the house, in her shuffling way, but I stay h

er with my hand. "Come back here," I say. And she stops and tries to dig a well in the sand with her toe.It is hard to see them clearly through the strong sun. But even the first glimpse of leg out of the car tells me it is Dee. Her feet were always neat-looking, as if God himself had shaped them with a certain style. From the other side of the car comes a short, stocky man. Hair is all over his head a foot long and hanging from his chin like a kinky mule tail. I hear Maggie suck in her breath. "Uhnnnh," is what it sounds like. Like when you see the wriggling end of a snake just in front of your foot on the road. "Uhnnnh."Dee next. A dress down to the ground, in this hot weather. A dress so loud it hurts my eyes. There are yellows and oranges enough to throw back the light of the sun. I feel my whole face warming from the heat waves it throws out. Earrings gold, too, and hanging down to her shoulders. Bracelets dangling and making noises when she moves her arm up to shake the folds of the dress out of her armpits. The dress is loose and flows, and as she walks closer, I like it. I hear Maggie go "Uhnnnh" again. It is her sister's hair. It stands straight up like the wool on a sheep. It is black as night and around the edges are two long pigtails that rope about like small lizards disappearing behind her ears."Wa-su-zo-Tean-o!" she says, coming on in that gliding way the dress makes her move. The short stocky fellow with the hair to his navel is all grinning and he follows up with "Asalamalakim, my mother and sister!" He moves to hug Maggie but she falls back, right up against the back of my chair. I feel her trembling there and when I look up I see the perspiration falling off her chin. Which line from the passage best symbolizes Dee's character?
A. Like when you see the wriggling end of a snake just in front of your foot on the road.
B. And she stops and tries to dig a well in the sand with her toe.
C. The dress is loose and flows, and as she walks closer, I like it.
D. Hair is all over his head a foot long and hanging from his chin like a kinky mule tail.

baherus [9]

Answer:

She looks around at all of the people. The men look scary and so do some of the women. She can't see her mom anywhere.

"Mommy?" the little girl calls out. She looks around and listens for a response. Nothing comes. "Mom? Where are you?"

At this people are looking around and asking who this little girl's mom is. The little girl starts crying. She can't see over anyone to look for her mom.

"Mom!" She says. She feels someone lifting her a man's voice answers.

"No, I'm not your mom, but you can sit on my shoulders. This way your mom can see you easier and you can keep an eye out for her." He was holding a little boy's hand and looking down at him.

"Is that your son?" The little girl asked.

"Yes it is." He said smiling.

A voice from the crowd called out.

"ROSIE? ROSIE WHERE ARE YOU? HAS ANYBODY SEEN MY BABY?" A crying mother was running down the aisle looking for the girl.

"Mom!" Rosie yelled, waving from the man's shoulders.

The man put her down into her mom's arms as he was being praised and thanked by the mother.

"Ma'am it's just being a good person. I'm glad you found her." He smiles at the mother then crouched down to Rosie, "Now, make sure you hold your Mommy's hand really tight so you don't lose her again, okay?" The little girl nodded and hugged him.

The little girl held her mother's hand tight as they got off of the bus and walked away.
