Travis is reading Wonder after school. The thing is, because of the way my face is, people who don't know me very well don't always get that I'm smiling. My mouth doesn't go up at the corners the way other people's mouths do. It just goes straight across my face. But somehow Jack Will got that I had smiled at him. And he smiled back.

He is not sure that he understands what he is reading.

What will most help Travis understand the paragraph?

Travis can look online at pictures of smiling faces.
Travis can read an encyclopedia article about mouths.
Travis can reread the paragraph and create a mental picture of August’s smile.
Travis can keep reading the story and hope he understands later.

If I were Travis, I would try to reread the paragraph and create a mental picture of August's smile.

Explanation:

It has always helped me with reading to create a mental picture, sometimes I even forget i'm reading. Hopefully it helps with him.

everyman: morality play

which phrase in this excerpt from the play everyman refers to god's judgment of people's souls after their death?

messenger: . .

ye think sin in the beginning full sweet,

which in( the end) causeth thy soul to weep,

when the body lieth in clay.

here shall you see how fellowship and jollity,

both strength, pleasure, and beauty,

will fade from thee as flower in may.

for ye shall hear, how our heavenly king

calleth everyman to a (general reckoning):

give audience, and hear what he doth say.

god: i perceive here in my majesty,

how that all the creatures be to me unkind,

living without dread in worldly prosperity:

of (ghostly sight) the people be so blind,

drowned in sin, they know me not for their god;

in worldly riches is all their mind,

they fear not( my righteousness), the sharp rod;

(my law that i shewed), when i for them die

hopefully this !

the positive connotations of the words "pretty," "quiet," and "silence" give the excerpt a tone of nervousness. i think its this
