A student plans to write a literary analysis about “Saved by a Seal” by Theodore A. Cutting. The essay will focus on how the main character’s experience with Nab affected him. Which two sentences from the story give information that will help the student form a thesis statement for the essay?

A. The liveliest seal that father and I ever caught, and the only one that ever got away from us after we had housed it, was Nab.

B. It was my vain attempt to recapture him that terminated in the most exciting experience I ever had with a seal.

C. Our seal-shed, which stood at the edge of the rocks fifteen feet above the surf, held in Nab's day eight occupants, all nearly full-grown.

D. The circus seals, which are caught and trained while young, had all been sold; and these we expected to place in the zoological gardens at Philadelphia and Cincinnati.

E. He would eye a shad in my hand as closely as he had once watched the young salmon darting about in the waters of Monterey Bay

c -invasion by the moroccans.

we would need to be able to read the passage in question to determine which factor allowed david believe he could defeat goliath. post the passage, and i'd love to out.

21 balloons is the story of professor william sherman's travels.

in 1883, he set off from san francisco for a balloon ride over the pacific and was found a month later floating with 21 balloons in the atlantic ocean. this seemed an astounding feat and everyone wanted to know what had happened.    

professor sherman was loyal, however, and said he would tell his tale first to the western american explorers club in san francisco, of which he was a member. this built up suspense for several chapters before he began to tell of the wonders of his adventures and the amazing island of krakatoa, an island which had just been blown up by a volcano.  

the residents of krakatoa are all millionaires who live under a "gourmet government" of their own devising. we get to see all the incredible adventures that creative people with unlimited resources would create according to the author.

i’m confused as to what your asking ?
