ok, so 11-15 are written. Here's some guidance, but make sure to rewrite it so it's "unique" and ur not copying.
11. LaShawn is competing in a competition and is preparing herself for it. LaShawn most likely competed in gymnastics. The paragraph mentions LaShawn would do countless backflips every morning at 5 A.M.
12. pt 1: A good summary should include the story's main idea, key points, and moral/theme.
12. pt 2: A good summary should not include your own opinions, and should not have irrelevant details. This can make your summary wordy, and hard to read. It's best to have a short summary that explains only a few things to keep the reader attached and wanting to read more.
13. Using figurative language can help the reader understand what they are reading. A simile compares two entities using 'like' or 'as'. For example, "He is as fast as a Cheetah!" would be the use of a simile. A metaphor is being more upfront. and comparing two or more entities without the use of 'like' or 'as'. For example, "He is a Cheetah!" would be the use of a metaphor.
14. The repetitive use of the "b" sound in the excerpt is an alliteration. Alliterations are used for providing an emotive effect.
15. The difference between a theme and a central idea is that a theme is a lesson while a central idea is a main topic.
A theme is a moral or lesson learned throughout a story. A central idea is the main idea or topic of the story.
Hope this helps! Remember, change your answers so its "unique"
