Mr. Elmo Norman, my elementary school principal, was the most nervous man I have ever met. He was a short, pudgy man, always ove

r-dressed. In fact, he didn't just wear his clothes--he hid inside them. His uniform consisted of a neatly pressed pin-striped suit, a thin black tie over a starched white shirt, and a pair of brightly polished brown Oxfords. His receding gray hair was always neatly trimmed, and his fat, wrinkled head always darted about like a radar blip on his neck. He paced the school hallways in a perpetual motion of twitching, fidgeting, and twiddling. In the space of a minute, he would wrinkle his little nose, scratch his plump chin, shrug his shoulders, straighten his tie, and glance at his watch, never once looking directly at the person he was with. As he spoke in his lackadaisical drawl, he would glance at the ceiling, inspect his knuckles, and check the floorboards for dust. When the conversation was over, he would dash back into his office like a frightened bunny, probably praying that he could lock himself in there forever. And for all I know, he may still be hiding there in his office today.
b.  Underline OR highlight the words, phrases, or sentences that give clues to Mr. Elmo Norman’s CHARACTER    traits in the paragraph.
c.  What is the POINT OF VIEW that this story is being told from?  
d.  HOW do you KNOW that it is this type of point of view?

As her sister drove Shonda to the police station, questions ping-ponged through her mind. Where had Sam and his cousin really be
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

The question in her mind refers to the issue of trust between the partners. So, this is how we should develop the scene with a flashback and refer it to the response Shonda had after the flashback. We know that she got calm and smiled. This brings us to the assumption that the flashback should give reasons to make her calm down. I would choose the scene that would characterize Sam as a reliable partner and a loving husband. We may leave the same setting but showcase the other factors that contribute to the feeling of confidence and trust. I divided the piece of writing into three paragraphs so that the second one is the re-written flashback

Explanation:

As her sister drove Shonda to the police station, questions ping-ponged through her mind. Where had Sam and his cousin really been? How did they even come in contact with the police? What is this "misunderstanding"? Sam had never been involved in any trouble, much less legal trouble. Did she really know Sam?  

A scene flashed into Shonda's mind. Her wedding day. Shonda, unlike the ordinary brides who would fear the groom might change his mind at the last moment, felt happy and triumphant. She had been dating him for two years and had various opportunities to test him for those qualities we normally expect from a partner in a marriage. No doubt, she could trust him.  They smiled as they recited their vows.  

As she reflected on this day, Shonda's heart began to slow and she smiled for the first time since the phone had rung.
