How does the author of "a relay race to remember" use foreshadowing to create tension in the story?

English

8 0

Answer:

The author uses foreshadowing to create tension in the story by not letting the reader know what decision is Malik going to make.

Explanation:

During the story, great tension is created while Malik limped more and more during the swimming tournament.

He was the captain and the best swimmer in the team. Despite being very hurt, Malik told everyone that he was in perfect condition, but in his mind, there was fear and despair as the story progressed. That feeling is also transmitted to the reader, wondering how the tournament will end and what will happen to Malik's ankle.

Finally, Malik's team and their rival are tied and have to break in a relay race.

Malik wanted the medal of that last race very much and not being able to swim made him really sad, but he recognized that he really couldn't swim in that condition.

The tense moment comes to an end when he decides to let his substitute swim. Sean, who took a great advantage over the rival team, established a new record and took the medal home.

For what purposes do animals use the following?
bija089 [108]
I) webbed Feet are useful for pushing animals quickly through water, especially for animals who swim often but still maintain legs / limbs that aren’t fish… more effective than other feet or limbs but still more mobile in other terrains unlike fish
ii) Sharp claws are often used either to hunt and kill or disable prey, or as self defense; sometimes both. Predators use them to capture prey within their grasp and sometimes kill prey. Prey animals will use them as defense.
iii) strong eyesight is useful for animals which require food sources that are camouflaged: eyesight is also useful for animals who rely on body-language as communication with one another, as well as animals like humans who interpret things like sign language. Strong eyesight during different times of day are useful for animals depending on what time they are awake and actively searching for food. Eyesight can also help animals avoid different dangerous situations, such as spotting predators from afar, etc.
iv) gills are used to allow animals to breathe underwater. This is useful for creatures who live beneath the water, hunt underwater / have food sources mainly underwater, or who otherwise spend long times hiding under the ocean or even living in secure places in water.
v) wings allow animals to glide or take flight; they’re initially useful for allowing animals a useful mode of transportation for escaping from predators, building / living in more secure places where other animals cannot go, hunting (such as hawks hunting mice from the air), and more. It also allows for easy and powerfully reliant migration.

None of these answers were taken from a text, they were just off the top of my head. Hope this helps :)
