8 0

The narrator returns to Horsell Common to discover an even larger crowd, all pushing to be able to see the cylinder. All, that is, except for one poor guy who fell into the crater and is trying to push his way back out. (Which is always the way – the grass is always greener on the other side of the crater.)Then the cylinder opens, and out comes something that no one expects. The narrator admits that he expected something sort of like a man to emerge, but instead what comes out is snake-like tentacles and a body about the size of a bear and skin that glistens like "wet leather" (1.4.12, 1.4.14). (You can only imagine our facial contortions right now.)Everyone runs away from the Martian just because it looks horrible, what with its saliva-dripping, lipless mouth and big, luminous eyes. Oh, and tentacles. Can't forget the tentacles.Since all of the people have for cover (they've found places to hide and watch), the area by the crater is now a human-free zone, with just some horses and carts.Oh, and remember the man who fell in the crater before? He's still down there. Dun dun dun!

How do Kevin’s interactions with his father and his teacher, Waldo, help develop the theme within the story? Provide evidence fr

docker41 [41]

One theme of this story is coming of age, which is revealed through Kevin’s experiences at school and home. In the story, Kevin feels caught between his interactions with his father at home and his teacher at school. Waldo, Kevin’s teacher, humiliates Kevin because his father helped him complete his homework, which is incorrect. Consider the character interaction at the end of the story between Kevin and his father:

“How did it go today?” his father asked.

“All right.” They kept silent until they reached the corner of their own street.

“What about the Latin?”

Kevin faltered, feeling a babyish desire to cry.

“How was it?”

“OK. Fine.”

“Good. I was a bit worried about it. It was done in a bit of a rush. Son, your Da’s a genius.” He smacked him with the paper again. Kevin laughed and slipped his hand into the warmth of his father’s overcoat pocket, deep to the elbow.

Kevin has the “babyish desire to cry,” but he doesn’t let his father know about the problems at school. His restraint shows that through this experience Kevin has matured, and he is protecting his father from feeling the humiliation from his school experience.

Hey there!

We are going to find which sentence carries the strongest noun, this would mean that we would have to find a sentence that would contain these aspect's . . .

♦Person

♦Place

♦Or thing

Based on my understanding of your options, your best answer would be (Jim knew his wife would like tulips)

In this sentence, we are looking at the word (tulips), which this would be a noun and in this, it would be considered and (Thing).

Your correct answer would be . . . .

 $\boxed{\boxed{Jim \ knew \ his \ wife \ would \ like \ tulips}}$

Hope this helps
