Answer:

This story revolves around two step brothers and their mother. One of the brother Alexis lives with his father and other brother is Aaron who lives with his mother. Both of the brothers have never seen each other.

Alexis returns to meet his mother since his father is going to India for some religious matters. When Alexis reaches the airport he meets his step brother Aaron for the first time.

During their journey from airport to home Alexis shows off his seventeen scars to Aaron and tells a story for each scar. Aaron is not interested in these stories and does not believes in the stories narrated by Alexis.

Alexis has a habit of using abusive language but his mother interrupts and forbade him to use these type of words but he continues using this language without letting his mother know as he then speaks in lower tone so that his mother doesn't notices his abusive language.

They stop their car at Burger King for dinner but Alexis does not eat anything except for fries since he is vegan. When they return to car due to some issue his mother starts crying and worrying about the problem but Alexis helps his mother in fixing the issue.

11. Each stanza of “Hanging Fire” ends with a period, but there are no commas or other punctuation elsewhere. What is the effect
Vladimir79 [104]

Unclear question, however I inferred you are referring to the poem "Hanging Fire".

Answer:

Gives the reader opportunity to absorb reached each thought.

Explanation:

In the poem it gives the reader an brief moment to absorb or reflect on thought expressed in each stanza.

Since there are no commas or other punctuation elsewhere, the reader would have to, or is expected to read through at a fast pace until the end of each stanza where he/she then reflects.
