Diana Nyad—Marathon Swimmer
(1) On August 19, 1979, Diana Nyad began her historic swim from Bimini, Bahams, to Jupiter, Florida, 89 miles away. (2) Nyad, a veteran of several marathons swims, wants to set a new world record for the longest open-water swim. (3) In 1974 she swam across Lake Ontario from north to south—a difficult crossing because of the swift current of the Niagara river. (4) A year later she completed a swim of more than 25 miles around New York City’s Manhattan Island, she had battled dangerous currents for nearly eight hours. (5) The swim from the Bahamas to Florida, however, would be far more treacherous than anything she had previously attempted. (6) It would require exceptional physical and mental strength.
(7) Nyad, like other long-distance swimmers, knew that every marathon swim is a grueling physical experence. (8) In earlier marathons she had become delirious from the fatigue of continuous stroking, kicking, and breathing. (9) She also knew that her senses would become impaired. (10) Her dark goggles would fog over, making it impossible for her to see. (11) Even though her coach and crew were in a support boat only twenty feet away, the tight rubber swim cap that covered her ears would prevent her from hearing the
coach’s whistle. (12) The salt water would even affect her senses of taste, touch, and smell.
(13) In addition to extreme physical exhaustion, Nyad was aware of the many dangers she would face in the water. (14) During earlier marathons schools of jellyfish had repeatedly stung her. (15) On Nyad’s Bahamas-to-Florida swim, a shark appeared.
(16) Nyad’s crew was prepared with an electronic shark shield. (17) Crew members sent out a wave of electricity that did not harm Nyad but affected the shark and cause them to turn away. (18) Electricity can be used to repel many other kinds of animals. (19) Despite all the obstacles she faced, Nyad successfully reached her goal. (20) She was exhausted but happy. (21) She waded onto the Florida shore. (22) She had endured 28 hours of nonstop swimming. (23) The world record for the longest open water swim was hers!

Weekends is a different story. On weekends, we would go to Farrell, Pennsylvania, just over the state line, where my father would meet us. We lived with my father's sister there.

Warren G. Harding Elementary School was just across the street from Aunt Rozella's home, and Rayen High, the only public high school on the entire Northside, was a few blocks away.
A large number of kids from poorer neighbourhoods attended. Rayen was Harriett's first choice. She could be there until she was enrolled, even though we were able to find affordable accommodation.

How do the narrator and her mother view flying? Cite evidence from the text to support your answer.
To answer your question, I would describe the author's view of flying as a positive one that may be described as "liberating".
Throughout the text, the narrator describes being an avid fan of Supergirl, a superhero commonly known to have the ability to fly. The author references Supergirl's ability to fly more than any other. From this, we can infer that her view of flying is a positive one.
During the story, the author makes remarks such as:
"From up there, over the rooftops, i could see everything""I had a recurring dream in those days"In reference to flying, which can lead the reader to believe that she finds the thought of flying as a liberating experience.
The text does not offer direct insights as to the views of her mother, however, we can often use even the smallest of context clues to infer information about a story. In this story, for example, the author mentions that her mother chose to buy her princess-themed furniture, despite knowing her love for comic books about Supergirl. This may imply that her mother did not share her enthusiasm for flying or comic books.
For more info on using context clues to infer information see: https://brainly.com/question/2437273?referrer=searchResults
which one of these sentences contains a emotional phrase
He drives a racecar 80 miles per hour. He motivates audiences of hundreds. He's earned awards for his performance on and off the racetrack, and he's traveled the country to compete. Did we mention that he's 13 years old? One look at his accomplishments and it is easy to see that Noah "Little Gator" Cornman is on the fast track to success.
