SHARKS' TEETH Langston Carter The day we found the sharks' teeth was foggy and cool. Moisture hung in the air so thick you could

almost see it sparkling in the dim sunlight. There were days, early in the summer like this one, where it seemed there was more water in the air than in the bay. We had beached the boat and stepped out on the recently cleared spit of land. The ground had a light dusting of white sand over an under layer of dried black mud. It looked like a recently frosted chocolate cake, though the frosting was spread a bit thin for my taste. The ground was solid, but we knew from experience that it was full of fiddler crab holes, and would be underwater at the first super-high tide. Mysteriously, to us anyway, someone wanted to build a house there. We often came to these spots to look for artifacts. Our beach, our summer home, had been a fishing camp for as long as anyone living could remember. The oldest stories told of travelers coming down to the edge of the sea, lining up to fill their wagon beds with salted fish to take back home. Old decaying cabins still lined the beach. Rotting nets, hung out to dry in the last century, decorated their weathered walls. Their broken faces spun stories in our minds. The fishermen who, tanned and wrinkled from sun and salt, hauled their nets full of splashing mullet in to cheers from the waiting crowds. The bounty of the sea lightened everyone's hearts, and the smell of roasting fish filled the damp air. Women fanned themselves from wagon seats. Children splashed in the shallow edges of the bay. It was a scene we had acted out as youngsters, building an imaginary bridge to a life we would never fully know.

<em>Read this sentence from the text:  </em>

<em> Their broken faces spun stories in our minds.  </em>

<em>What is the main effect of the word faces in this sentence?</em>

<em>The correct answer is A. It creates a feeling of despair</em>

  • <em>It creates a feeling of despair because it refers to the poor condition of the nets, of the nostalgia they give to the people who see them in the walls. They spun stories in their minds because the place they were watching does not exist in their lives anymore, despite they wish it did. The nets also give them the sense that they were so important for the people who lived there, the nets took an important place in their lives, and now they do not anymore. For the ones who are watching them, they seem to think they are in a privileged position because the rotting nets are there for them to contemplate that past treasure.  </em>

A book cannot be judge by its<br>Cover expansion of ideas​
Luden [163]

You can't judge a book by its cover is indeed a true saying in this world of illusions. It's general meaning is that you should not judge a book through its outer appearance .May be it seems dusty from outside but may contain gold mine of knowledge whereas there may be some other book that is very beautiful from outside but may have nothing valuable inside it Same goes for human beings also .many a times we judge people on their looks and their appearance .but their reality lies within.a person may not be beautiful externally but may have a pure heart and mind within whereas a person who may seem attractive and gorgeous externally may be full of negativity hatred and jealousy within. So we should judge someone not from their appearance not through their deeds and actions
