answer

the day we found the sharks' teeth was foggy and cool. moisture hung in the air so thick you could almost see it sparkling in the dim sunlight. there were days, early in the summer like this one, where it seemed there was more water in the air than in the bay. we had beached the boat and stepped out on the recently cleared spit of land. the ground had a light dusting of white sand over an under layer of dried black mud. it looked like a recently frosted chocolate cake, though the frosting was spread a bit thin for my taste. the ground was solid, but we knew from experience that it was full of fiddler crab holes, and would be underwater at the first super-high tide. mysteriously, to us anyway, someone wanted to build a house there. we often came to these spots to look for artifacts. our beach, our summer home, had been a fishing camp for as long as anyone living could remember. the oldest stories told of travelers coming down to the edge of the sea, lining up to fill their wagon beds with salted fish to take back home. old decaying cabins still lined the beach. rotting nets, hung out to dry in the last century, decorated their weathered walls. their broken faces spun stories in our minds. the fishermen who, tanned and wrinkled from sun and salt, hauled their nets full of splashing mullet in to cheers from the waiting crowds. the bounty of the sea lightened everyone's hearts, and the smell of roasting fish filled the damp air. women fanned themselves from wagon seats. children splashed in the shallow edges of the bay. it was a scene we had acted out as youngsters, building an imaginary bridge to a life we would never fully know.

Read the passage. excerpt from "why equal pay is worth fighting for" by senator elizabeth warren, april 17, 2014 i honestly can't believe that we're still arguing over equal pay in 2014. when i started teaching elementary school after college, the public school district didn't hide the fact that it had two pay scales: one for men and one for women. women have made incredible strides since then. but 40 years later, we're still debating equal pay for equal work. women today still earn only 77 cents for every dollar a man earns, and they're taking a hit in nearly every occupation. bloomberg analyzed census data and found that median earnings for women were lower than those for men in 264 of 265 major occupation categories. in 99.6 percent of occupations, men get paid more than women. that's not an accident; that's discrimination. the effects of this discrimination are real, and they are long lasting. today, more young women go to college than men, but unequal pay makes it harder for them to pay back student loans. pay inequality also means a tougher retirement for women. . for middle-class families today, it usually takes two incomes to get by, and many families depend as much on mom's salary as they do on dad's, if not more. women are the main breadwinners, or joint breadwinners, in two-thirds of the families across the country, and pay discrimination makes it that much harder for these families to stay afloat. women are ready to fight back against pay discrimination, but it's not easy. today, a woman can get fired for asking the guy across the hall how much money he makes. here in the senate, sen. barbara mikulski (d-md.) introduced the paycheck fairness act to give women the tools to combat wage discrimination. it would ensure that salary differences have something to do with the actual job that they are doing, and not just because they are women. senator warren states that the effects of pay discrimination are long-lasting. is this a valid argument supported by accurate evidence? no; warren weakens her point by claiming that the paycheck fairness act would "give women the tools to combat wage discrimination." yes; warren supports her point by noting, "for middle-class families today, it usually takes two incomes to get by." yes; warren supports her point by noting, "pay inequality also means a tougher retirement for women." no; warren weakens her point by noting, "today, a woman can get fired for asking the guy across the hall how much money he makes."
