dentified theme.
A Shepherd Boy was tending his flock near a village, and thought it would be great fun to hoax the villagers by pretending that a Wolf was attacking the sheep. So, he shouted out, "Wolf! Wolf!" and when the people came running up he laughed at them for their pains. He did this more than once, and every time the villagers found they had been hoaxed, for there was no Wolf at all. At last a Wolf really did come, and the Boy cried, "Wolf! Wolf!" as loud as he could, but the people were so used to hearing him call that they took no notice of his cries for help.

The theme of this excerpt is that a boy is joking around and when the time came to actually cry out wolf, no one listened. " At last a Wolf really did come, and the Boy cried, "Wolf! Wolf!" as loud as he could, but the people were so used to hearing him call that they took no notice of his cries for help." This quote from the story explains how the bots misbehaving got him no where but being ignored.

Which clue best helps readers know that the first two paragraphs of My Story are structured chronologically?
stira [4]

Answer:The author includes the years events happened.

When we tell a story in chronological order, we are describing the events in the order of occurrence in time. Most stories are arranged in this way in order to make the chain of cause and effect clear to readers. Events are also arranged chronologically in areas of studies such as history. In this case, the fact that the author includes the years events happened indicates that he is writing following a chronological structure.

The simile compares the ugly words to a group of buzzards.

Buzzards are a scavenger bird, preying on things that are dead or near dead. They are not considered good or kind animals. The buzzards sitting in a tree are just waiting to swoop down and devour the meal. The words are similar in that they get into his thoughts and mind, picking at whatever is left. It reminds the reader that Mr. Shiftlet is a damaged soul. He is not who the women think he is.
