Read this excerpt from "Birdfoot's Grampa.” The old man
must have stopped our car
two dozen times to climb out
and gather into his hands
the small toads blinded
by our lights and leaping,
live drops of rain.

Why does the author describe the toads as "leaping, live drops of rain”?

to show how wet they are
to prove they are unimportant
to indicate they are full of life
to demonstrate that they are not alive

Is the slightly humorous tone of kristof's essay inappropriate for a discussion of deliberately killing wild animals? why or why not?

Which best describes the suspense technique of flashback? an image, color, object, or similar is shown early in the film. it later reappears in a pivotal scene or plot point. details of the story outside of the chronological storyline are provided to the audience, often as a memory. illusions of explosions and other events are presented, often using computer-generated imagery to seem realistic. the screenwriter lets the audience know something the main character does not, usually something important to the plot.
