Ead this story, which is in chronological order. Last May, I decided to swim a mile without stopping. I knew I would need to be able to do it to join the Coast Guard, so I spent every morning practicing with my father.

I thought of giving up many times. "I could be sleeping right now," I would cry out as my muscles ached.

One morning, I started to doubt myself, so I imagined swimming to a person in need. Before I knew it, I could hear my dad clapping. I had done it!

Write a version of the same story, this time starting the story in the middle.

i think the answer is either c or d

im thinking d might make more sense though

sorry if im wrong

the figurative meanings of these lines are questioning the tyger's strength and beauty. the meaning contributes to the overall message of them poem because it is explaining how strong the tyger is.

now just elaborate off of that. : )

the third paragraph is your answer,

"but, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate — we can not consecrate — we can not hallow — this ground. the brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. the world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. it is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. it is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us— that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under god, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. "

the sound a train makes as it blows it horn is the correct answer i believe
