Then, many of the people were captured for Slavery. The ones that could fly shed their wings. They couldn’t take their wings acr

oss the water on the slave ships. Too crowded, don’t you know.
The folks were full of misery, then. Got sick with the up and down of the sea. So they forgot about flyin when they could no longer breathe the sweet scent of Africa.

Say the people who could fly kept their power, although they shed their wings. They kept their secret magic in the land of slavery. They looked the same as the other people from Africa who had been coming over, who had dark skin. Say you couldn’t tell anymore one who could fly from one who couldn’t.

—“The People Could Fly,”
Virginia Hamilton

The factual part is that the people were transported as slaves and in factual part is about the wings

Explanation:

The factual part of the narrative recounts the slave trade.

This means that the narrative where the slaves are put up on the ships and then taken are very much real narratives.

The fictional and figurative part of the narrative is the wings which are here used to describe freedom.

The people on the ship went without wings and thus lost their freedom forever.

There was no more a way to distinguish them from the others so there was no matter of difference now

Answer:

Millions of people are expected to watch the Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro over 11 days this September. Chances are you will see a swimmer with one leg on the blocks next to another swimmer with two legs and two arms. So how that can be fair?

the secret is a process called classification.

Classification underlies all Paralympic sport, yet the concept – and its practical application – is possibly the greatest barrier to the broader community’s understanding of the Paralympics.

Classification is the process of allocating athletes into classes so that they compete against others whose impairment affects them to a similar degree in their sport.
