Answer 1

What are your questions?

Answer 2

there are three essays on the test and there driving me crazy i have no clue how to answer them, i've been stuck on this test for days...

Answer 3

If they're on a test, the material must have been introduced in some way during the class itself, even if the teacher is now asking you to take those ideas a little further or to apply them in new ways or to a different piece of writing.

Or at least, that's the way it's supposed to work.

This is a take-home test, I see. Are you allowed to use any resources whatsoever, including asking tutors for help? My style at any rate would be to help you answer those questions yourself, but if this is a test, I am not sure how far your teacher wants you to be working with another person on it.

Answer 4

“The Swimming Contest” ends with the word “losers.” What do you think the author means for readers to understand was lost?
this is the one im stuck on

Answer 5

Who is the author? I'm not finding it online.

Answer 6

benjamin tammuz

Answer 7

Ah, yes, found it. I've not read the story, am just looking it over quickly now.

You don't have any sense of what it was the narrator and the "all of us" he refers to at the end may have lost? What was it they were striving for? What's the story about? Is there an actual contest? Or is this a figurative use of "contest"?

Answer 8

Could they have lost some chance for reconciliation? (I see that this is Arab-Hebrew lit.)
