What Katie is worried about at the beginning of The Shakespeare Mix-Up is the speech she has to give tomorrow.
She is learning some facts about Shakespeare and is frightened about what her speech is going to look like the following day. She says to her mom that it is a very important speech and that her school career depends on it.
This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:
The text evidence in this excerpt best supports the idea that Squeaky:
A. is tired of running and would rather coach.
B. appreciates the strength of her competitor.
C. is proud because she won the race.
D. thinks people only smile a real smile when they win.
Answer:
The evidence supports the idea that Squeaky:
B. appreciates the strength of her competitor.
Explanation:
"Raymond's Run" is a short story by Toni Cade Bambara. It is narrated from Squeaky's perspective. She is Raymond's sister and is beautifully loyal to her brother, not accepting anyone saying anything to him about his being different. <u>She is brave and feisty, ready to pick up a fight with anyone, including the girl mentioned in the excerpt we are analyzing here.</u>
<u>Once they compete, Squeaky begins to admire Gretchen. Squeaky, being strong and honest herself, admires those same qualities in others. Gretchen put up a fight and tried her best during the race. For that reason, she has gained Squeaky's respect.</u>
The answer is: smell
In “Two Kinds” by Amy Tan, when the age of Old Lady Chong, the piano teacher's mother, is being describe, the author uses two similes she smells "like a baby that done something in his pants” and has skin "like an old peach" appealing to the smell sense.
Can you give me a sentence or something that shows them interacting?
