expressions in constructing your evidence.

When I saw my sister, Delia, beating

my dog with a stick, I felt hate heave like a
caged, angry beast in my chest. Out in the
sun, the hair of my sister glinted like metal
and, in her brown dress, she looked like a
sheathed dagger. Biryuk hugged the earth
and screamed but I could not bound forward
nor cry out to my sister. She had a weak heart
and she must not be surprised. So I held
myself, my throat swelled, and I felt hate rear
and plunge in its cage of ribs… My sister was
the meanest creature I knew. She was eight
when I was born, the day my mother died.
Although we continued to live in the same
house, she had gone, it seemed, to another
country from where she looked at me with
increasing annoyance and contempt.
