Answer 3

There was great excitement in Smyrna, especially among the boys. Barlow's Great American Circus in its triumphal progress from state to state was close at hand, and immense yellow posters announcing its arrival were liberally displayed on fences and barns, while smaller bills were put up in the post office, the hotel, and the principal stores, and distributed from house to house.

It was the largest circus that had ever visited Smyrna. At least a dozen elephants marched with ponderous steps in its preliminary procession, while clowns, acrobats, giants, dwarfs, fat women, cannibals, and hairy savages from Tibet and Madagascar were among the strange wonders that were to be seen at each performance for the small sum of fifty cents, children half price.

For weeks the young people had been looking forward to the advent of this marvelous world of curiosities, and the country papers from farther east had given glowing accounts of the great show, which was pronounced greater and more gorgeous than in any previous year. But it may be as well to reproduce, in part, the description given in the posters:

BARLOW'S GREAT NORTH AMERICAN CIRCUS.
Now in its triumphal march across the continent, will
give two grand performances,
AT SMYRNA
on the afternoon and evening of May 18th.
Never in all its history has this
unparalleled show embraced a greater variety of attractions,
or included a larger number of world-famous
acrobats, clowns, bare back riders, rope walkers, trapeze
artists, and star performers,
in addition to a colossal menagerie, comprising
elephants, tigers, lions, leopards,
and other wild animals in great variety.
All this and far more, including a hundred
DARING ACTS,
can be seen for the trifling sum of fifty cents;
children half price.
COME ONE! COME ALL!

Two boys paused to read this notice, pasted with pictures of elephants and circus performers on the high board fence near Stoddard's grocery store. They were Dan Clark and Christopher Watson, called Kit for short.

Answer 8

The actual assignment is, "Write an original narrative featuring the two boys as characters and the circus as your setting. Be sure to use details from the text as you tell your story." Now, what you write will be shaped partially by "the Narrative Organization Chart," whatever that is. Since I do not have that chart and don't plan on doing your work for you, it is a bit impossible for me to just write things for you. However, if you need some ideas or proof reading, I can help with that.

>>> Read the following prompt based on what you just read and organize your ideas into the Narrative Organization Chart

Do you know what a Narrative Organization Chart is? Basically - you outline the cause, and connect effects, and those effects are the cause for other effects. @e.mccormick hit the nail on the head.

When you combine all the questions together, you'll have an outline.

No no no no no . you know what, i'll just have to ask my mom to help me

Answer 20

Hey, @kryssiibaee , it's asking for a Narrative Organization Chart, this will organize your thoughts and the plot of the story.

You will write details about the story after you've outlined the basic notions, concepts, and events. Show your mother this thread. Let her read over it, I'm sure she'll agree, too.

standing in awe is the climax i thought?

No, the climax was them seeing the ad and reading the pamphlet, the resolution was their waiting and anticipation.
