Answer hurry ! read the excerpt from “how i learned english.”
someone said “shin” again,
there was a wild stamping of hands on the ground,
a kicking of feet, and the fit
of laughter overtook me too,
and that was important, as important
as joe barone asking me how i was
through his tears, picking me up
and dusting me off with hands like swatters,
and though my head felt heavy,
i played on till dusk
missing flies and pop-ups and grounders
and calling out in desperation things like
“yours” and “take it,” but doing all right,
tugging at my cap in just the right way,
crouching low, my feet set.
“hum baby” sweetly on my lips.
how do things change for the speaker after he laughs with the other boys?
he tries harder to impress others.
he finally has a sense of belonging.
he no longer cares about fitting in.
he no longer avoids playing baseball.

He finally has a sense of belonging.

In this excerpt from "How I Learned English", by Gregory Djanikian, things change for the speaker after he laughs with the other boys because He finally has a sense of belonging. The narrator feels an outsider in a baseball game in the neighborhood until he falls down and cries "oh my shin". All the boys laugh at him, and when someone says "oh my shin" he laughs too and they are all in the ground laughing. He now has a sense of belonging.

a biography is a genre that mainly accounts somebody's life and that is written by somebody else. this genre supports sonia nazario's desire to share enrique's life because she can fully inform readers of his entire emotional journey.

in a biography, an author can share the readers almost everything about a person's life, or just one key event or personal aspect the author is interested in telling, like in this specific case in which sonia nazario is centered in enrique's emotional journey.

it wants you to read whatever it gave you. then compare it to the others you read. you need to use textual evidence, and cite anything you do!

hope this !
