Extra! extra! backyard birding
many schools, families, and young birders across the country participate in the "great backyard bird count." while not as long as a "big year," the "great backyard bird count" happens every year. it depends on birders and families across the country to watch feeders and other areas in their yards and count the number of birds they see. unlike the "big year," the goal is not to see who can count the most birds. instead, participants in this event work together to bird experts get a good idea of how birds are doing. participants are given checklists and enter their sightings on a website. called a "citizen-science" project, this event is open to anyone, requires no travel, and happens every year over one weekend in february.

Read the following excerpt from life on the mississippi by mark twain. no girl could withstand his charms. he "cut out" every boy in the village. when his boat blew up at last, it diffused a tranquil contentment among us such as we had not known for months. but when he came home the next week, alive, renowned, and appeared in church all battered up and bandaged, a shining hero, stared at and wondered over by everybody, it seemed to us that the partiality of providence for an undeserving reptile had reached a point where it was open to criticism. how does twain's use of understatement serve his purpose? be sure to use specific details from the text to support your answer.
