Who else is in the half term and can’t be asked to do their homework

What is the phrase a tiny shoot of phase prikled by the mind

1. in the bold portion of the narrative, the author tries to use a flashback to develop tension. however, the flashback does not create tension. rewrite the flashback scene so it develops tension right at the beginning of the story. (15 points)

Is the book the outsiders a realistic story? plz explain. asap!
