Excerpt: The start of school on the reservation was always hectic. I couldn't hear myself think above the talking and laughing, and it didn't seem like any of us were ready to trade our summers for book reports and math worksheets. What started as a chorus of whispers from desk to desk cranked up to almost a roar, with no teacher in sight. When the door opened, all conversation stopped. A tall, bearded man strode into the room and slapped a lesson planner onto his desk. The entire class sucked in their breath, and I could hardly believe my eyes. It was my uncle Mahkah.
Answer: Some dialogue that helps to develop the character of Uncle Mahkah.
An introduction describing the life of Takoda and Uncle Mahkah.
Explanation:
Takoda can use these two options and it will help him to make the narrative more interesting and exciting to readers. He is using personal narrative that is written in the first person.
He is describing an event from the author's life which is including the start of school and his feelings about that. At the end of the excerpt, there is Uncle Mahkah that is mentioned but since we don't know anything about him <u>it would be good for writer to develop his character with dialogue, description of his life or some interesting details so it can be also more understandable for the readers. </u>
