Sharks' Teeth
By 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.

Part A

Based on "'Equal Justice Under Law': Thurgood Marshall," what can the reader infer about how segregation affected the self-image of African American children?


It was damaging because they were wrongly convinced that it was preferable to be white.

Children of different races played together outside of school, which boosted self-image.

It was dangerous because it caused negative feelings toward themselves and others.

Segregation only occurred in the South, so it had little effect on most African American children.
Question 2
Part B

What evidence from the text best supports the answer in Part A?


"Anything from a water fountain to a movie theater or public park might have a sign saying 'Whites Only.'"

"The facilities for black Americans, the Court said, simply had to be as good as those for whites—'separate but equal.'"

"The children said the white dolls were 'nice' and 'pretty.' The brown dolls, they said, were 'ugly' and 'dirty.'"

Original Quote:
Baleen whales ... have been around for about 30 million years. But for the vast majority of that time, they were modestly proportioned ... about one-third the length of the modern blue whale.

According to an article in Wired, baleen whales haven't always been as large as they are today.

"Wisdom"
by Sara Teasdale

It was a night of early spring,
The winter-sleep was scarcely broken;
Around us shadows and the wind
Listened for what was never spoken.
Though half a score of years are gone,
Spring comes as sharply now as then--
But if we had it all to do
It would be done the same again.
It was a spring that never came;
But we have lived enough to know
That what we never have, remains;
It is the things we have that go.

What is the rhyme scheme of the poem?

-ABCD
