In Raymond’s run How does the author develop the rising action of the story?

The exposition takes place at the beginning of the story and provides the audience with important background information regarding relevant events, settings, and characters. In Toni Cade Bambara's short story "Raymond's Run," the exposition includes Squeaky's description of herself and her mentally disabled older brother, Raymond. The audience learns that Squeaky is a fast runner and esteemed sprinter, who lives in Harlem, New York. Squeaky enjoys practicing running. She is in charge of watching Raymond, who follows her everywhere and who is rather difficult to look after.

The rising action includes Squeaky's tense interaction with Mary Louise, Rosie, and Gretchen, which takes place while Squeaky is strolling down Broadway with Raymond. Squeaky sticks up for Raymond when the girls make snide remarks. She is determined to beat her new rival Gretchen at the May Day races. The rising action also includes Squeaky arriving at the local May Day celebration to participate in the fifty-yard dash. The rising action continues as Squeaky makes her way to the starting line and ends when the climax begins.

The climax includes Squeaky racing against Gretchen in the fifty-yard dash. During the race, Squeaky notices that Raymond is running stride-for-stride with her on the outside of the fence and is impressed by his speed. The falling action includes Squeaky hearing the results of the race and thinking about coaching Raymond. Squeaky believes that Raymond could become an excellent runner, and she is willing to help him achieve his potential. The denouement includes Squeaky smiling at Gretchen and entertaining the idea of asking her to help coach, Raymond.

Tyger, tyger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare seize the fire?
And what shoulder and what art
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And, when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand and what dread feet?
What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?
When the stars threw down their spears,
And watered heaven with their tears,
Did He smile His work to see?
Did He who made the lamb make thee?
Tyger, tyger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?
What are some of the examples of the use of fire as an image in “The Tyger”? How does this imagery affect the mood of the poem? Your response should be at least two complete paragraphs.
Answer:

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.

How does the poem "Make A Fist", use of alliteration(including consonance and assonance) impact the meaning of the text?

If you can dream – and not make dreams your
master;

If you can think – and not make thoughts your
aim;

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

And treat those two impostors just the same

—“If,”
Rudyard Kipling
