In the table, list at least two purposes you identified in “Taming the Bicycle” and present supporting evidence from the text for each purpose. List the main purpose first.

1)Purpose: to entertain

Evidence :  It is not like studying German, where you mull along, in a groping, uncertain way, for thirty years; and at last, just as you think you've got it, they spring the subjunctive  on you, and there you are.

2)Purpose: to inform

Evidence: Mine was not a full-grown bicycle, but only a colt—a fifty-inch, with the pedals  shortened up to forty-eight—and skittish, like any other colt.

Explanation:

I got the answer from Plato

his tongue, i believe, was bloody and hanging out of his mouth.

he looked as if he were hungry.

he has several wolf-like qualities; a gray coat, sharp claws and yellow fangs.

those eyes made me feel, dear reader, like the end was near.

as i reached for a stick, he moved to the other side of the hill.

panting and hungry, he looked at me, a defenseless human and he snarled.

well i said my prayers, however, he simply turned and limped off.
