Remembering by William Stafford
When there was air, when you could
breathe any day if you liked, and if
you wanted to you could run, I used to
climb those hills back of town and
5 follow a gully so my eyes were at
ground level and could look out through grass as the stems
bent in their tensile1 way, and see snow
mountains follow along the way distance goes.
Now I carry those days in a tiny box
10 wherever I go. I open the lid like this
and let the light glimpse and then glance away.
There is a sigh like my breath when I do this.
Some days I do this again and again.
What's the theme

just took the test;

argument: "it's time to wage a war against britain to secure american freedom."

claims: "america has tried every peaceful method available for seperating from england" & "the americans' petitions to the king have been turned away by him."

learning how to embrace the effects of colonialism is one of the central ideas of the play.

a. "to practice" is the best phrase to complete the sentence.

explanation:

during the summer, she likes to practice her soccer skills so that she is ready to play in the fall.

(note that : all the other options "the practicing of", "practice for" and "to do a practice on" are inappropriate as they make the sentence grammatically incorrect.)
