Read the excerpt from “the scarlet ibis.” the knowledge that doodle’s and my plans had come to naught was bitter, and that streak of cruelty within me awakened. i ran as fast as i could, leaving him far behind with a wall of rain dividing us. the drops stung my face like nettles, and the wind flared the wet glistening leaves of the bordering trees. soon i could hear his voice no more. what best describes the purpose of the foreshadowing present in the narrator’s words, “soon i could hear his voice no more”?

It creates suspense as the reader wonders why the narrator can no longer hear Doodle's voice.

We later find out that the narrator can no longer hear Doodle's voice because Doodle is no longer breathing. Not only can the narrator not hear his voice in this moment, but he never hears Doodle's voice again. The other options can be eliminated because the strength of the storm should not be the focus of the reader. Also, the narrator being unable to hear Doodle does not give any clues as to what he will say when he arrives home. Additionally this detail of Doodle's voice fading away is not developed enough for the narrator to think about his life without Doodle.

free time is when all my homework and chores have been done for the day and i am "free" to do things that i enjoy doing.

usually i spend time watching television. as my favorite tv shows come on at specific times, i make sure that i finish my homework and chores well before the shows. otherwise i will have to miss them. mostly i manage to watch the shows but sometimes extra homework or chores may cause me to miss a show or two, but it is rare. anyhow if i know that i am definitely not able to catch a show in time, i will just set the video recorder to tape the show sothe evening when the weather is fine, i sometimes go for a stroll around the neighborhood with my friends. this is the time when most the neighbors have come home from work or school. we say hello to those whom we know. they are mostly friendly people and they acknowledge our greetings. once in a while we come upon unfriendly neighbors but we just ignore them and carry on. that i can watch it later.

explanation:

the silver bells of the sleds are merry and keep time in the winter nights while the sky twinkles happily. the golden bells of weddings are delightful in their peaceful happiness, foretelling a rapturous future. meanwhile, the brazen alarm bells scream frightfully in the night, with a discordant and desperate sound. in their clamor, these bells convey terror, horror, and anger. finally, the iron bells are solemn and melancholy, while those in the church steeple are like ghouls who feel happiness. the king of the ghouls, who rings the bells, cheerfully keeps time with the moaning and groaning bells.
