My first impression of the novel titled “a small free kiss in the dark”was ,that it would be a bit weird. Because the title made absolutely no sense to me, and it still doesn't make sense to me in chapter 11. Aside from that after reading the prologue I knew that there were going to be some people named Billy and Max. The narrator was still unknown. As we begun reading I understood well what was going on, and I thought it would be one of those books were something unexpected happens. I just did not know what.…

The strategies that Dimmesdale uses while juggling two rhetorical situations are his high standings in the community as a source of credibility and authority, his purpose as a minister to help convince the sinner to come forward and reveal the truth, and his ability to convey underlying messages to the reader. His effectiveness of communication is successful for the reader but not for the characters in the story.…
Section 1: Manatees belong to the order Sirenia, which also includes the manatee’s relative in the Pacific, the dugong, (Dugongdugon). Sirenians evolved from four-footed land mammals more than 60 million years ago. The presence of tiny pelvic bones in manatees, shaped differently in males and females, is evidence of their terrestrial ancestry. The closest modern relatives of the Sirenia are elephants, aardvarks, and hyraxes, small furry mammals that resemble rodents. These animals are large, fully aquatic, mostly herbivorous marine mammals sometimes known as sea cows. They are varied in color from dull gray to brown or black. They all have stout, tapered bodies ending in a flat, rounded tail used for forward propulsion. The forelimbs are modified into flippers; there are no hind limbs. There are three accepted living species of Trichechidae, representing three of the four living species in the order Sirenia: the Amazonian manatee (Trichechus inunguis), the West Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus), and the West African manatee (Trichechus senegalensis.…

These people would rejoice for a boy and mourn for a girl. I understand this is their way of life and this is within their culture but if girls were never born, then who would give birth to any boys later on in life? Men are very important to a tribe because its strength measured by its number of men. As a whole, women and men share this preference for the birth of a son, but women are very much so emotionally connected with their daughters and rely on them to help with housework. There are various symbols for both women and men. Women are linked with modesty, dependency, rain, life, etc. Men are linked to honor, strength, and even death. They are linked to death because males are the only ones allowed to slaughter an animal. If a woman finds an animal she wishes to have slaughtered, she must hold it and run to find a man.…
