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.

Answer:

My dude we didnt read the book so how are we supposed to answer??

Explanation:

Answer:

I believe that all screen time for adolescents is not harmful to their development. Adolescents can be exposed to new information and ideas by using several technological devices, such as cell phones and computers. Adolescents can also use devices to collaborate with other peers, especially when they cannot be together in one place. However, excessive screen time, especially before its time to sleep, can be harmful to the sleep cycles of adolescents. Therefore, it is clear that not all screen time is bad, but adolescents should know how to operate devices safely and in ways that help their mind and body.

Answer:

Steve get away as not guilty at the end :>

Explanation:

Read the excerpt from We Shall Not Be Moved.

The League, like Local 25, had expected a turnout of four or five thousand. They were bowled over by this army, utterly unprepared for it. They had organized strikes in the garment trade, small ones, usually confined to a single shop, but never before had they undertaken something on so vast a scale. They might fail, might be laughed at by the whole of New York as well as John Dyche and the ILGWU men, and all the same they knew this was the challenge they'd been hoping for — their chance to show the world they were more than highbrow butters-in, just as the shirtwaist makers were more than irresponsible little girls.

How would a careful rereading of this excerpt help a reader understand the “League” mentioned in the first sentence?

The reader could make the connection between the “League” and the word “bowled” in the second sentence to conclude that they are a bowling team.
The reader could make the connection between the “League” and “shirtwaist makers” in the last sentence to realize they are the same group of women.
The reader could make the connection between the “League” and the third sentence, which explains that they “organized strikes in the garment trade.”
The reader could make the connection between the “League” and the “ILGWU men” in the last sentence to note that they are both parts of the same group.

Answer:

A careful rereading of this excerpt would help a reader understand the "League" mentioned in the first sentence because:

C. The reader could make the connection between the “League” and the third sentence, which explains that they “organized strikes in the garment trade.”

Explanation:

According to the third line of the excerpt, the League had organized strikes in the garment trade. This same League, according to the first and second lines, had organized a new event and was surprised at the turnout of so many people now - so many that the speakers uses the word "army" to help readers visualize it. From that, we can infer that the League refers to a group of people who helped coordinate and organize protests and sit-ins in the pursuit of equality during the Civil Rights Movement.
