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.

Read the excerpt from the story Hayden and Henry Go to Camp:

Hayden and Henry Holbrook were twins. People often think that identical twins are the same in every way, but this couldn't be further from the truth when it came to Hayden and Henry. The boys were exact opposites. Sure, they both had the same mane of golden, floppy curls, the same piercing, blue eyes, and the same cheeky smile, but that was where the similarities ended.

Hayden was the brainy one; he was a walking encyclopedia. His main areas of expertise included computer coding, dinosaurs, and British folktales (Robin Hood was his favorite), but in general, he knew a lot about a lot of things. Hayden always had his nose in a book and loved to watch documentaries on the TV. He was painfully shy and hated being outdoors in nature. Henry, on the other hand, preferred joke books to informative ones. He was always clowning around and making others laugh. Henry had a real heart of gold and was always willing to help others. He also loved sports and was a champion swimmer.

Select the detail that shows how the two brothers are similar.

A Hayden was the brainy one; he was a walking encyclopedia.
B Henry had a real heart of gold and was always willing to help others.

How does Gary Paulsen create
suspense at the beginning of chapter 8? in hatchet

Answers

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.
