TWICE I WALKED WITH DINOSAURS One summer we found

a dead baby shark

washed up on the beach,

cut it open with a dinner knife

[5]from the house,

and performed an

outdoor autopsy.1

As we marveled2 at its

miniature anatomy,

[10]reveled3 in the smallness

of each little organ,

seagulls circled overhead.

The ocean was quiet,

barely making waves.

[15]It kept vigil4 for its tiny causality.

The spring prior,

an alligator wandered

onto the beach during my

uncle’s second wedding.

[20]It was far enough away

to merit an absence of fear, but

nobody took photos or said

a word— we just stared

as it settled itself in the surf,

[25]hoping to be cleansed.

Question:
How do the words used to describe the speaker’s examination and reaction to the shark contribute to the tone of the passage?

Study the editorial cartoon mars probe by mike keefe. how does the alien with the baseball bat contribute to the effectiveness of the political cartoon? it suggests that aliens are like people because they play baseball, a human sport. it uses humor to show that unknown factors keep damaging the probes humans send. it shows how to cope with the surface of mars, which is rocky and full of craters. it exaggerates the size of the bat in relation to the mars probe in the cartoon.
