Sometimes i can even see timmy skating with linda
under the yellow floodlights. i'm young and happy. i'll never die.
i'm skimming across the surface of my own history, moving fast,
riding the melt beneath the blades, doing looſs and spins, and when i
take a high leap into th dark and come down thirty years later, i realize
it is as tim trying to save timmy's life with a story. (from, the lives
of the dead)

Who are the antagonists in the story "ali baba and the 40 thieves", and are they're bad guys?

Identity the three types of language

Part a which statement best describes a central idea in this narrative? in times of tragedy, it is difficult to determine how best to be of service. in times of crisis, people prefer to be alone. young people tend to look to older people to take action in times of tragedy. when people publicly commit to being of service, they are more likely to follow through. part b which detail from the text best to shape the central idea in part a? "'i thought you might have too much going on already. i saw everyone post online.' martin said, 'i don’t think anyone wanted to be in the way today, so i’m glad you came.'" "finally, he said, 'i don’t know what to do. i guess i should tell him to let me know if he needs anything, but that doesn’t feel like enough.'" "he wondered how many people would actually show up to out and how many would simply hope that enough others did." "he explained to her that martin’s mom had died, and told her how he felt about his friend’s loss. 'what do you plan to do for him? ' his mother asked."
