In the book Elijah of Buxton, on page 96 it says "Then I said 'em, I said those words that made it so the lesson 'bout familiarity and contemp'll be fixed in my mind for's long as I live, even if that's to fifty. I said, 'And me and all 'em other little nigg-'" Then as you know, Mr.Leroy backhands Elijah. He blackouts for a moment too. I think we all know what word Eli was going to say after Mr.Leroy's lecture. I hope this answer helps! I'm in 6th grade and because I'm reading this for school I am going to draw a picture of this!

What are the different types of frisbees?

i would say the three most popular throws are backhand, forehand, and a hammer. The backhand is the typical throw everyone knows, the forehand is just like the backhand except there is a different grip and you don't cross your arm over your body, and the hammer is like a tomahawk over your head. The forehand and backhand can be tricky, but useful once mastered.

What are the 4 tennis strokes?

There is a regular forehand, then a top spin forehand (top spin spins the ball forward which makes it drop in the court faster), a slice forehand ( slicing spins the ball left, right, or back) , a volley ( a small slice where the ball didn't touch the floor), a overhead ( pretty much slam). The backhand has all the same strokes except maybe backhand overhead.

Do you have to know how to do a back hand spring or back tuck to get into southern high school team?

I'd say yes, you'd have to have a backhand spring atleast. A back tuck would obviously give you more points to get you on the squad. It would depend on how good your tumbling is if you don't do a back tuck or backhand spring. Let's say you do a backwalkover. If it is really well and you do it 3 times in a row, then that could bump up your points to get on. Hope this helped!
