SHARKS' TEETH
Langston Carter

The day we found the sharks' teeth was foggy and cool. Moisture hung in the air so thick you could almost see it sparkling in the dim sunlight. There were days, early in the summer like this one, where it seemed there was more water in the air than in the bay. We had beached the boat and stepped out on the recently cleared spit of land. The ground had a light dusting of white sand over an under layer of dried black mud. It looked like a recently frosted chocolate cake, though the frosting was spread a bit thin for my taste. The ground was solid, but we knew from experience that it was full of fiddler crab holes, and would be underwater at the first super-high tide. Mysteriously, to us anyway, someone wanted to build a house there.

We often came to these spots to look for artifacts. Our beach, our summer home, had been a fishing camp for as long as anyone living could remember. The oldest stories told of travelers coming down to the edge of the sea, lining up to fill their wagon beds with salted fish to take back home. Old decaying cabins still lined the beach. Rotting nets, hung out to dry in the last century, decorated their weathered walls. Their broken faces spun stories in our minds. The fishermen who, tanned and wrinkled from sun and salt, hauled their nets full of splashing mullet in to cheers from the waiting crowds. The bounty of the sea lightened everyone's hearts, and the smell of roasting fish filled the damp air. Women fanned themselves from wagon seats. Children splashed in the shallow edges of the bay. It was a scene we had acted out as youngsters, building an imaginary bridge to a life we would never fully know.

e) write a down two topic that you think apply to the mighty ducks movie

Answers

Answer:

outh ice-hockey team The Mighty Ducks and their captain Charlie Conway are awarded the junior varsity hockey scholarships to Eden Hall Academy, a prestigious Minneapolis-area prep school that Coach Bombay attended. Charlie struggles with his transition from childhood to adolescence; he thinks he was abandoned by Bombay when the latter informs him that he intends to take a job with the Junior Goodwill Games, which would leave him unable to coach the Ducks; one of the Ducks' enforcers, Dean Portman, also decided not to attend the school after hearing about Bombay's leaving and Jesse Hall also does not attend. Bombay informs Charlie prior to the start of classes that the team will be in good hands under the tutelage of coach Ted Orion, a former NHL player.

The Ducks' start at the school begins inauspiciously; while the newer Ducks respectfully sit in at the headmaster's speech, the original teammates crash the ceremony on stage. The team then experience many early struggles: playing in the new "two-way hockey" defensive style of Coach Orion, Orion abandoning several Duck traditions and some of their youthful in-game 'trick' plays, and off-ice conflicts with the Varsity team. The Ducks' struggles continue, culminating in a tie in their first game after having a huge lead. Eventually, when Coach Orion restricts the old Ducks uniform after an unsanctioned early morning match with the Varsity team to settle their differences, Charlie decides to leave the team to return to public schools and seek a hockey career. Fulton follows, but considers quitting hockey much to Charlie's dismay. Sometime later, he ultimately returns to the team without Charlie.

Angry at Bombay's departure and at Orion's highly disciplined coaching style, Charlie's acting out alienates him from his mother, Hans (Gordon's old mentor and friend of the Ducks), and even his friends. Hans suddenly dies, and Bombay comes to Charlie's house the day following the funeral and takes him back to Eden Hall. He tells Charlie that Orion's career with the Minnesota North Stars ended when the team moved to Dallas and he stayed to care for his paraplegic daughter. Bombay tells Charlie the background story on how he first came to coach the Ducks and says he told Orion that Charlie was the heart and soul of the team, and it was his hope that both Orion and Charlie would learn something from each other. Bombay also admits telling Orion that Charlie was the real "Minnesota Miracle" man. Emotionally touched by his words, Charlie agrees to rejoin the team.

Arriving at the team bus for the next game, Charlie tells Orion he wants to play "two-way hockey". Surprised but pleased, Coach Orion welcomes him back. Before they depart, Dean Buckley, the school's headmaster, informs the team that its board of trustees wants to revoke the Ducks' scholarships and offers Orion a chance to start anew with a team of his choice. Satisfied with the team, Coach Orion balks at the news, threatening resignation. At a board meeting the following day, Bombay, who was an experienced lawyer before coaching the Ducks, acts as the Ducks' attorney and fights successfully for their case, and the board reinstates the Duck's scholarships.

Prior to the annual JV–Varsity game, Orion brings back the Duck jerseys, giving the team a renewed vigor. Throughout the game, the Varsity dominates on offense. However, the Ducks play good defense and manage to keep the game scoreless after two periods. During the second intermission, Dean Portman returns to the team (having finally accepted his scholarship), adding a needed spark. Late in the game, the Ducks get two penalties and must play 5 vs 3. During the time-out, Orion reinstates Charlie as captain and tells him to go for the win if the opportunity presents itself. With seconds left in the game, Charlie gets a breakaway and beats all the defensemen and goalie; he passes the puck back to Goldberg, now a defenseman, who scores into an wide-open net as time expires, securing a 1–0 victory for the Ducks.

Following the victory, Charlie embraces Orion and spots Bombay who has attended the game, and they both look across the rink to a newly-presented Eden Hall banner with the Ducks' logo. Bombay then departs the game amid a sea of cheering fans, with a smile.

Two Butterflies went out at Noon–
And waltzed above a Farm-
Then stepped straight through the
Firmament
And rested on a Beam-
And then-together bore away
Upon a shining Sea-
Though never yet, in any Port-
Their coming mentioned-be-
If spoken by the distant Bird
If met in Ether Sea
By Frigate, or by Merchantman-
No notice-was-to me

-capture the literal meaning of words not an analysis or figurative language representation of the poem! I’m really struggling with this!!!

Answers

Answer:

This poem describes two butterflies that went out at noon, And waltzed above a stream. Thereafter, they took an upward motion and headed towards the “shining sea,” a metaphorical reference to heaven. While reading this section, it seems that the description is some kind of dream vision the poet had. However, in the last section of the poem, Dickinson broods over where they had gone. She thinks a distant bird or a merchantman had seen them. But, she was not reported about their location.

What do you mean by compound word?

A compound in linguistics is a lexeme (more precisely, a word or sign) made up of more than one stem. The process of word construction that results in compound lexmes is known as compounding, composition, or nominal composition.

When two or more words or signs are combined to create a longer word or symbol, this is known as compounding. An open compound, also known as a spaced compound, is one that employs a space rather than a hyphen or concatenation; a closed compound is the opposite.

The meaning of the compound could be the same as or distinct from the meaning of its individual parts. A compound's component stems may belong to the same part of speech, as in the instance of the English word footpath, which is made up of the two component stems

A is the correct answer

Competition was fierce. People spoke of nothing else in the days that _________, admiring the winner and promising themselves that one day, their own kite would fly proudly over the town.

Answers

The correct word to complete the sentence is "followed." Therefore, the full sentence would be:

"Competition was fierce. People spoke of nothing else in the days that followed, admiring the winner and promising themselves that one day, their own kite would fly proudly over the town."

We can arrive at this answer because:

At the beginning of the sentence, we can see that the competition took place days ago.This is because the narrator uses the expression "was fierce" to refer to the competition and "was" is a verb that indicates that this occurred in the past.Therefore, people can only have commented on the competition after it was over, that is, in the days that followed the competition.

Therefore, the only word capable of completing the blank space and leaving the sentence coherent and correct would be "followed."
