Answer:

A sound of thunder is used to represent the T-Rex steps and Travis’s gun. The two things that cause giant turns in the story.

The butterfly Eckels kills is easy—the butterfly effect. Also, butterflies represent freedom, a freedom he killed when his actions changed the outcome of the election.

The path they’re supposed to stay on is written destiny. It’s the path that needs to be taken in order to get back to their normal lives.

The bullets represent the disturbance of the past, and future, all at once.

I hope that this helps you! :)

Answer:

What makes a monster?

Is a monster something we fear?

Is a monster something or someone who is different?

Is a monster the very thing that does something without remorse?

Are monsters just scary. To strike fear into us.

But to an animal would we be monsters.

Because we are different and big maybe even scary.

We kill the without remorse but to survive.

But then why the things we consider a monster, for they are just trying to survive.

This makes me question then are we monsters?

Because we look different from one another, we kill, we eat, we survive.

Is survival the thing that makes us the monster?

Then what is it that makes us monster?

What creates monster?

What is the word, the feeling of monster?

I would never know because I never been called one or felt like one.

Nor do I know the people who had been called, made, found a monster.

I do not know their history. for I do not have the right to call them a monster.

For I do not know what a monster is.

For I am ever a monster.

But again what makes a monster?

you have just read the excerpt from the short story "the pin" by Chris Crutcher, a story about a father and son whose tumultuous

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

After the wrestling match, Johnny saw his father sobbing over his childhood pictures. The father was reminiscing about how his own father had raised them in such a relationship, the very same way he's doing now. This seems to be suggestive of his remorse and regret in how he had acted all along.

So, this act seems to signal a change in him while also most probably, a change in the father-son relationship. Thus, we can say that they will reconcile.

Explanation:

Chris Crutcher's short story "The Pin" revolves around the father-son relationship. The two major characters Johnny Rivers and his father Cecil B. Rivers' relationship is infused with jealousy, perfection, and a strained family relationship which culminated in their wrestling duel which seemed to finally mend their broken connection.

Amidst their strained father-son relationship, the duo got the chance to 'figure things out' between them when there's a student-parents' game in school. This power struggle's wrestling match was an intense one but which eventually ended with Johnny winning the game. Despite the offer of his hand to his father, he was rejected twice. But towards the end of the story, <u>when they got home, we see the father sobbing over his child-rearing methods, reminiscing that he's doing exactly how his own father had done to him. </u>

This outburst seems to suggest a change in the father. So, we can assume that the <u>father-son duo will reconcile despite their previous differences and start a new, loving relationship</u>.

Which excerpt from the text best shows that the passage uses a cause and effect pattern

TEA [102]

D. Several factors led to the beginning of World War I.

The topic sentence from the passage shows us that it follows a cause and effect pattern. It sets the reader up to understand that the rest of the passage will be about several factors that caused World War I. The rest of the options are the different factors that led to World War I. They do not use key words that would indicate a cause and effect patterns like the words "Several" and "led" do in the first sentence.
