ed the fifty-yard dash. . . . I get up and slip off my sweatpants and then I see Gretchen standing at the starting line, kicking her legs out like a pro. Then as I get into place I see that ole Raymond is on line on the other side of the fence, bending down with his fingers on the ground just like he knew what he was doing.

The correct option is option letter B (A serious athlete makes a total commitment to competing). The short story “<em>Raymond's Run</em>” by Toni Cade Bambara (1990) narrates the story of Hazel Parker (Squeaky) and how she decides to coach her brother Raymond, who has a mental disability, putting her own running career off to coach Raymond. The excerpt from this short story presented above narrates how Squeaky fully <u>commits to her competition</u> noticing everything, but <em>taking care of his energy</em>. For instance, she prefers not to holler at her brother who is alongside the track so as <u>not to waste energy</u> before her competition. This clearly describe how professional and serious she is about competing.

Ralph states, "We won’t be painted because we aren’t savages."  Interpret this statement, and share how this statement supports
stepan [7]

Answer:

The phrase spoken by Ralph reforms his attempt to maintain the civility and order to which they are accustomed. This reinforces the theme of a piece of civility and an attempt to hide who it really is.

Explanation:

This question is about the book "The lord of the flies" that tells the story of a group of English boys who fall on a paradisiac island and that as time goes on, they end up corrupting their human natures and the concept of civility giving themselves completely to savagery. Among these boys Ralph is the one who tries to organize them and prevent them from living like wild freaks.

Many boys decide to paint their faces to justify their decisions to live as wild hunters and not civilized boys, but Raph knows that this will create complete chaos and says that the boys will not pretend to be something they are not and therefore no one will paint their faces, as long as he can prevent it.

You were recently on a school trip when something unusual happened.
const2013 [10]

Answer:

Dear Sam,

Mrs. Anna's class and I were going to the local zoo when something unusual happened. We had just gotten done eating some food at the café and some girls wanted to go look at the dusk monkeys. Anyways, we're all looking at monkeys when we see a tiger. Well, yes its a zoo you see animals all the time. But this Bengal tiger was out of its cage. It also had a chicken in its mouth. This Bengal Tiger was also loose. Everyone in the class including Mrs. Anna started freaking out because they thought the tiger was going to eat them too or something. A few minutes later, zoo keepers came by and shot the tiger with a tranquillizer and hauled it back to its cage. Apparently a section of the cage had a space big enough for Cassie the tiger to get out. We're all safe now!

Can't wait to see you soon, ___
