So I walked onto the stage and said, "The police are here to talk to you, Mr. Jaspers," and "I wouldn't try to get out the back way if I were you." Then I went back to my lighting booth and pulled levers up and down for the rest of the show.

Again I was faced with choices I did not like, but I finally agreed. After all, my hate for my father was not so great and urgent as my hate for the orphan home. My mother held to her idea and one night a week or so later I found myself standing in a room in a frame house. My father and a strange woman were sitting before a bright fire that blazed in a grate. My mother and I were standing about six feet away, as though we were afraid to approach them any closer.

What three characters die in act 5 of Macbeth?

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd,
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course untrimm'd:
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st,
Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st,
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
—“Sonnet 18,”
William Shakespeare

adapted from Madame Bovary
by Gustave Flaubert
She thought, sometimes, that, after all, this was the happiest time of her life—the honeymoon, as people called it to taste the full sweetness of
it, it would have been necessary doubtless to fly to those lands with thundering names where the days after marriage are full of
laziness most pleasant... It seemed to her that certain places on earth must bring happiness, as a plant peculiar to the soil, and that cannot
thrive elsewhere. Why could not she lean over balconies in Swiss chalets, or enshrine her melancholy in a Scotch cottage, with a husband
dressed in a black velvet coat with long tails, and thin shoes, a pointed hat and frills? Perhaps she would have liked to confide all these things to
someone. But how tell an undefinable uneasiness, variable as the clouds, unstable as the winds? Words failed her--the opportunity, the
courage
If Charles had but wished it, if he had guessed it, if his look had but once met her thought, it seemed to her that a sudden generosity would have
gone out from her heart, as the fruit falls from a tree when shaken by a hand. But as the familiarity of their life became deeper, the greater
became the gulf that separated her from him.
Charles's conversation was commonplace as a street pavement, and everyone's ideas trooped through it in their everyday garb, without exciting
emotion, laughter, or thought. He had never had the curiosity, he said, while he lived at Rouen, to go to the theater to see the actors from Paris.
He could neither swim, nor fence, nor shoot, and one day he could not explain some term of horsemanship to her that she had come across in a
novel

Read the paragraph.
Do you realize that your lead pencil is not lead at all? if it were. It would cost more. Today, pencils are made of graphite, which is cheaper,
darker, and harder than lead. Pencils used to cost about a nickel. Now, each one costs closer to 20 cents. But it is still a bargain, for one pencil can
draw a line 39 miles long. Not many ballpoint pens that cost two dollars and more would last that long!
What is the main idea of this paragraph?
01. Pencils are a bargain for the money.
02. Pencils are no longer made of lead.
O 3. Graphite pencils make darker lines.
O 4. Pencils cost about 20 cents each today.
