Thinking about the bell ringing at 8:40 Explanation: I'm not quite sure what context this is used in but it seem like the best foreshadowing choice, hope it helps :)
The Medicine bag, on the text, represents the family's "coming of age" tradition for the boys, acting as a token for protection and a way to remember the self-discovery journey of the family's great-great-grandfather.
What conveys that the medicine bag is a symbol of manhood is the following excerpt:
<em> “I sent your mother and sister away. What you will hear today is only for a man’s ears. What you will receive is only for a man’s hands.” </em>
The statement is supported by the tales about the other male members of the family enduring hard times and finding support on the medicine bag, on the belief of the guiding spirits that once provided the symbol.
Answer:
The <u>first</u> theme statement "The author believes that Johnny Cade is not ready to die, and doesn't want his time to be up yet. He feels as if he has not lived his life to the fullest, and has not got to do or pursue the things he wished to".
The <u>second</u> theme statement "The author believes that the characters have pride in who they are. They are proud and happy to be a greaser, even though others may see them as bad".
The <u>third</u> theme statement "The author believes that Ponyboy feels as if pity is taken upon him, although the character he is speaking to states that she/he doesn't feel that way and really believes that Ponyboy is a good person".
The <u>fourth</u> theme statement "The author believes that Randy feels bad for what he did to upset/disappoint his father. It also seems to surprise Randy that these feelings have taken place".
Explanation: I hope this helps! ^-^ I tried to answer it as fast as I could, and I have also read the book so it made it a little easier to answer since I know the back story. I really tried on this lol so I hope it is good enough, good luck!
The <span>excerpt from "Daughter of Invention" which reveals Laura’s Dominican origin through unique pronunciation is definitely </span><span>B) "Remember that time we took the car to Bear Mountain, and we re-ah-lized that we had forgotten to pack an opener with our pick-a-nick?"
You can even see in the excerpt itself that one word is graphically written differently than the rest of the text. Laura pronounces the word realized as re-ah-lized, which is apparently not the usual pronunciation of the word, but something native to the Dominican Republic.
