Read the excerpt from "the scarlet ibis.” within a few months doodle had learned to walk well and his go-cart was put up in the barn loft (it’s still there) beside his little mahogany coffin. now, when we roamed off together, resting often, we never turned back until our destination had been reached, and to pass the time, we took up lying. from the beginning doodle was a terrible liar and he got me in the habit. had anyone stopped to listen to us, we would have been sent off to dix hill. what does this passage foreshadow? the journey the boys take doodle’s eventual death the troubles the boys faced doodle’s blossoming health

The excerpt presented foreshadows Doodle's eventual death.

Foreshadowing is a literary device in which the author gives a hint about what is to come in the story.

The excerpt mentions "his little mahogany coffin", which his family kept around in the event of Doodle's death due to his birth defects. Furthermore, it mentions Doodle's go-cart being put up in the loft (where it remains to this day). The narrator mentions his improvements on walking, but also says that they had to rest often, signaling Doodle's difficulty to complete the task at hand.

just took the test

hi there!

one thousand and one nights, also called the arabian nights is a collection of middle eastern tales compiled in arabic during the islamic golden age, dated from the 8th to the 14th century. this collection was compiled of largely middle eastern and indian stories with an uncertain date and autorship whose tales such as aladdin, ali baba and sinbad the sailor -these ones were the most popular ones, the ones that have almost become part of western folklore.

as in much medieval european literature, the stories contained in this collection are set within a frame story. its scene is central asia, as known as "the islands or peninsulae of india and china", where king shahryar kills his wife after discovering her infidelities and as well as any other who betrayed him.   then, loathing all womankind, he marries and kills his new wife each day until no more candidates could have been found. his vizier had two daughters, scheherezade and dunyazad. the elder one -scheherezade- having devised a scheme to save herself and the others insisted that her father needed to give her in marriage to the king. each evening, she used to tell a story leaving it incomplete and promising to finish it the following night. the stories kept the king very interested, so eager to hear evey ending of each story, that he puts off her execution from day to day and finally he decided to give up with his plan. these stories are contained within the collection of 1001 nights, the bulk of the text is in prose, although verse is usually used for songs and riddles to express better the heightened emotion of them.

the answer would be: it explains that at least one son must join the church

the expression ''as the tithe of his sons'' indicates how his father intended for at least one of his sons to serve the church. this phrase demonstrates that his father offered him as a last resort since none of his brothers chose to serve the church.

hope this answer you: )!
