How does Gary Paulsen create
suspense at the beginning of chapter 8? in hatchet
With this in mind, Paulsen uses the third person omniscient voice to display to the reader what is happening in Brian's mind. In the process, this brings out suspense because the reader is made to feel as if they are experiencing the harrowing process of survival within Brian's mind as well as their own.
Answer:The slithering sound continues, and Brian can see a vague shape going toward the door of the shelter and moving outside. He feels his leg and finds that there are needles in it—the intruder was a porcupine, and its quills are stuck in his calf.
One by one, although it hurts a lot, Brian pulls all eight quills out of his leg. When he's finally finished, he sits in the dark, crying and thinking that he just can't take any more. He puts his head down and cries until he's all cried out.
Later, the narrator tells us, Brian would look back on this time as the point where he learned "the most important rule of survival, which was that feeling sorry for yourself didn't work" (8.12). Wow, and here Shmoop thought it was "always bring an extra pair of underwear." You learn something new every day.

How do the words used to describe the speaker's examination and reaction to the shark contribute to the tone of the passage?
Poem: Twice I walked With Dinosaurs
One summer we found
a dead baby shark
washed up on the beach,
cut it open with a dinner knife
from the house,
and performed an
outdoor autopsy
As we marveled at its
miniature anatomy,
reveled in the smallness
of each little organ,
seagulls circled overhead.
The ocean was quiet,
barely making waves.
It kept vigil for its tiny causality.
The spring prior,
an alligator wandered
onto the beach during my
uncle’s second wedding.
It was far enough away
to merit an absence of fear, but
nobody took photos or said
a word— we just stared
as it settled itself in the surf,
hoping to be cleansed.
Answer:
Hello

The writer puts an emphisis on how marvelously small everyrthing is inside the baby shark, which correlate with the second passage by telliung us about the time an alligator walked to his uncles second wedding (which correlates to the story as is the second time he saw a "dinosaur") on the same beach.

the poems are the mending wall by robert frost and we real cool by Gwendolyn brooks
Answer:
"Mending Wall" by Robert Frost and "We Real Cool" by Gwendolyn Brooks are two poems that explore different themes and employ distinct literary techniques and structures.
In "Mending Wall," Frost delves into the theme of human connection and the boundaries that exist between individuals. The poem depicts a conversation between two neighbors who meet every spring to repair a stone wall that separates their properties. The conflict arises from the contrasting views of the two characters regarding the necessity of the wall. One character firmly believes in the tradition of maintaining the wall, while the other questions its purpose. This conflict highlights the broader theme of division and the tendency of humans to create barriers even when unnecessary.
In terms of characterization, Frost utilizes the first-person point of view, with the speaker representing the questioning neighbor. This point of view allows readers to empathize with the narrator's skepticism and curiosity. The literary technique of dialogue is also employed, as the conversation between the two neighbors serves as the primary vehicle for expressing their differing perspectives. Through their dialogue, the poet reveals their distinct personalities and beliefs.
In contrast, "We Real Cool" by Gwendolyn Brooks explores the theme of youth rebellion and the consequences of reckless behavior. The poem presents a group of young individuals who engage in defiant activities, such as skipping school and engaging in vices. The setting of the poem is a pool hall, symbolizing a space where these rebellious actions take place. The poem's title itself is an example of word choice, as it presents a defiant and self-assured attitude.
Brooks employs a unique poetic structure in "We Real Cool." The poem consists of a series of seven two-line stanzas, each beginning with the phrase "We real cool." This repetition creates a rhythmic pattern and emphasizes the rebellious and confident nature of the characters. The use of enjambment, where lines run into each other without punctuation, further enhances the flow and urgency of the poem.
In summary, "Mending Wall" and "We Real Cool" differ in their themes, characterizations, literary techniques, and poetic structures. While Frost's poem focuses on the concept of division and human connection through a dialogue-driven narrative, Brooks' poem explores youth rebellion and its consequences through concise and rhythmic stanzas. Both poems showcase the versatility and power of poetry in conveying complex ideas and emotions.

After his first emotional reaction to the porcupine attack, he figures out the most important rule of survival. What is it? (Hatchet)
Answer:
He's down in the dumps about being stranded and now stung by a porcupine, but then ''he learned the most important rule of survival, which was that feeling sorry for yourself didn't work. '' It won't get the quills out of his leg and won't make fire, so Brian decides to stop it entirely and get to work.
Explanation:
Answer: The slithering sound continues, and Brian can see a vague shape going toward the door of the shelter and moving outside. He feels his leg and finds that there are needles in it—the intruder was a porcupine, and its quills are stuck in his calf.
One by one, although it hurts a lot, Brian pulls all eight quills out of his leg. When he's finally finished, he sits in the dark, crying and thinking that he just can't take any more. He puts his head down and cries until he's all cried out.

The killer clowns Chapter 3
One week after Rosa’s death, the clowns had the world completely under their control.
Estella had just heard the news of Rosa’s death and was devastated. “Oh Rosa,” Estella cried, looking forlorn “Why did you have to mess with Pennywise?” Then she went to a dusty trunk in the corner “I vowed never to open this chest ever again… but I have to save Rosa.” Estella pulled out a dusty spell book and set it on the table. She flipped to the page about bringing people back to life. “The blood of the killer poured into the mouth of the killed shall raise the dead man from his earthy bed.” Estella read. She went to Pennywise’s lair and collected a little bit of his blood.
Later, at the graveyard, Estella was pouring the blood of Pennywise into Rosa’s mouth. Rosa immediately opened her eyes, while her arms grew back, “Estella, where am I? what happened?” Rosa said, looking around. “Rosa, you must kill Pennywise, before EVERYONE dies!” “Ok,” said Rosa “ I will try.” Rosa then went home and gathered her weapons, put her brass knuckles on, and went to Pennywise’s lair.
When she got there, Rosa started to have second thoughts, but she kept on moving. There was blood splattered across the walls, dismembered body parts all over the place, and torture devices on a stage in the far corner. But she kept moving till she got to Pennywise’s throne. “HEY, PENNYWISE” Rosa yelled “ YOU ARE SO UGLY THAT WHEN YOU WERE BORN, THE DOCTOR SLAPPED YOUR MOTHER.” “Rosa” Pennywise snarled “didn’t I kill you already?” Rosa then conjured a whirlwind around her and flew to Pennywise, “yeah and you will have to do it again” she said and then stabbed Pennywise in the heart, took out all of the clowns, and saved anymore innocent people from a cruel death for the clowns entertainment.

Read this paragraph from I Never Had It Made.
Branch Rickey lost that fight, but when he became the boss of the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1943, he felt the time for equality in baseball had come. He knew that achieving it would be terribly difficult. There would be deep resentment, determined opposition, and perhaps even racial violence. He was convinced he was morally right, and he shrewdly sensed that making the game a truly national one would have healthy financial results. He took his case before the startled directors of the club, and using persuasive eloquence, he won the first battle in what would be a long and bitter campaign. He was voted permission to make the Brooklyn club the pioneer in bringing blacks into baseball.
What is the author’s purpose for including this paragraph?
