How does this selection, an introduction, prepare readers for what they’re about to read in the rest of the book? Which details from the selection support your answer?
This introduction gives a lot of information about how storytelling is used by different cultures, communities, and families. It also shares information about how stories can give educational and emotional support to readers.
It doesn’t give away any of the stories in the book; instead it helps readers understand how what they’re about to read has been shared and used by others throughout history.
It also lets the readers know what to expect to gain from the stories they are about to read. The author shows this by writing, “Perhaps best of all, stories stretch the imagination.
The teller takes the listener to distant places where remarkable things happen. And once stretched, an imagination stays stretched.”

Which word best describes the mood in paragraph 20 of Ninth Ward?
No one is coming. All day and all night, we waited. Spot panted, slept. TaShon swatted at mosquitoes and his feet turned itchy red after he left them in the water to cool off. We are both sunburned. Funny, I didn't think black folks sunburned. But all day in the sun, no shade, has made me and TaShon red faced. My cheeks and shoulders hurt like someone touched them with a hot iron.
tired
bleak
bored
calm
