Answer 1

Answer:

“At first the rain had merely splotched the dust, which seemed to be rejoicing in its own resiliency and laughing at the heavy drops thudding against it; but eventually the dust was forced to surrender to the mastery of the rain and it churned into a fine red mud that oozed between our toes and slopped against our ankles as we marched miserably to and from school.” This is a paragraph that really stands out to me because it is so beautifully written. Summarizing the paragraph, The children are walking to school and it  has started raining. The rain is converting the dust in the air and the dirt on the ground into wet mud. The experience is more miserable when you find out the Logans are bare foot while walking too and from school.
