Hard on the gas by Janet S Wong. My grandfather taught himself to drive rough, the way he learned to live. Push the pedal, hard on the gas, rush up to 50, coast a bit, rush, rest, rush, rest. When you clutch the bar above your right shoulder, he shoots you a look that asks, Who said the ride would be smooth? Rough, coast, and clutch are highlighted words. What emotions did you experience while reading this poem? Explain your answer.

i cant see the passage although i do know hyperbole means overly exaggerated such as "i can eat an enter horse"! i hope this you!

i have read the novel roll of thunder hear my cry by mildred d. taylor.

1. this isn't like any other story i've read or watched because it is about a black family in mississippi right after slavery in the u.s. had become illegal. most of the novels i have read were about slavery. another point is that the author of the novel used symbolism in a way i haven't seen before. for example she uses thunder as something negative meaning something bad will happen. but by the end of the novel, she made thunder a good thing.

2.   one character that changed during the novel was stacey. stacey is the eldest child of the black logan family. around the begging of the novel stacey was avoiding the white boy jeremy simms. he had a dislike for jeremy's family. but at the end of the novel stacey began to like jeremy.

3. the author starts the novel with the problem that the children of the logan family have to avoid the white kid school bus while walking to school.

showing or having an insensitive and cruel disregard for others. (so basically being heartless)

hope this : )
