Rewrite the following paragraph so that the resource material flows with the remainder of the paragraph. a person considering the cost of school athletics must first consider salaries of coaches, custodians, trainers, and band directors. james johnson said, "equipment is another major cost." equipment includes uniforms for athletes, marching band, pompom line, cheerleaders, and other groups whose function is tied to the athletics program. equipment includes balls, bats, nets, clubs, laundry and cleaning costs, first-aid supplies, and medical supplies. johnson also discusses utility costs. "some are directly related to the sports program such as lighting and air conditioning." water used by the team for showers should be included (26).

the excerpt from chapter 2 of "animal farm", by george orwell that is an example of foreshadowing is "these three (snowball, napoleon, and squealer) had elaborated old major's teachings into a complete system of thought to which they gave the name of animalism." animal farm is an allegory of how czarist russia developed into communist russia with all its corruption. old major's teachings represent marx's theories turned into communism, animalism, by the three pigs. this foreshadows the oppression and corruption that will follow this revolt.
