Basically you have a motif of something eg fruit. Then that motif gets repeated at the end. So even if you have a contrasting beginning and end you can still have like a sentence that repeats cyclically eg ‘humanity can be saved’ or something like that.

A theme or motif or phrase etc that recurs or goes back to the beginning, at the end

cyclical structure is like when when the end situations are in some way the same as they are at the beginning.

It can foreshadow or make you sort of guess what might happen at the end

What are 3 or more Similes in the story Raymond's run
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

Three similes from the story "Raymond's Run" are:

1. "I'll high-prance down 34th Street like a rodeo pony to keep my knees strong . . ."

2. ". . . but people ain't grateful, so now she hangs out with the new girl Gretchen, and talks about me like a dog . . ."

3. "He looks around the park from Gretchen like a periscope in a submarine movie."

Explanation:

A simile is a figure of speech that compares two different things with the purpose of stating a similarity between them. In that sense, a simile would be similar to a metaphor. The difference is that simile relies on words such as "like" or "as" to make the comparison, while the metaphor does not. For example: My mind is like a bird. → Comparing one's mind to a bird helps convey the sense of freedom. One is free to imagine and think just like a bird is free to fly.

With that in mind, we can see that the three answers above use simile to compare the characters' actions to something that will help convey how those actions are performed. For example, the narrator compares the way her teacher looks around with the way a periscope moves when searching around.

"Raymond's Run" is a short story by Toni Cade Bambara about the narrator, Squeaky, and her brother Raymond, who is a child with special needs.

What is the purpose of expository text?
yanalaym [24]
I would say that your answer would be A) To inform, explain, describe, compare/contrast, and problem solve.  When you Google the definition of expository text, answer A best matches that description.  

"The main purpose of expository text<span> is to inform or describe what the story or book is about, so when the student reads they are understanding what is being read better."</span>
