[FONT="]Dear teachers,
[/FONT]
[FONT="]Would you tell me whether I am right with my interpretation of the expression in bold in the following sentence? [/FONT]
His glides ended not with the usual feet-down splash into the sea, but with a long flat wake as he touched the surface with his feet tightly streamlined against his body. (Jonathan Livingston Seagull)
wake = the wave that spreads behind a boat as it moves forward (at the present case behind Jonathan’s smoothly sliding body with his tightly bended feet )
Thanks for your efforts.
Regards,
V.
