Other people argue that players willingly trade their health for the money and fame that football might bring. They say football players view this as a risk worth taking. However, there would not be any money or fame if people did not watch football. If no one showed up to the stadiums or bought the merchandise, there would be no reason for these young men to play. There would be no reason for them to sacrifice their physical and mental health—and sometimes, their lives—for the sake of a sport.


Paragraph 3 argues that

A
Most football players think that it is worth it to put their health at risk; after all, football players make a lot of money and many become famous.

B
Football players do not get paid nearly enough to suffer such debilitating injuries; if they got paid more, it would offset the danger.

C
Since players get paid so much money to play, they are the ones who decide that it is worth it to risk injuring themselves.

D
Because fans provide the money and fame that lure players into this dangerous sport, fans are responsible for the injuries players suffer.

The killer clowns Chapter 3
One week after Rosa’s death, the clowns had the world completely under their control.


Estella had just heard the news of Rosa’s death and was devastated. “Oh Rosa,” Estella cried, looking forlorn “Why did you have to mess with Pennywise?” Then she went to a dusty trunk in the corner “I vowed never to open this chest ever again… but I have to save Rosa.” Estella pulled out a dusty spell book and set it on the table. She flipped to the page about bringing people back to life. “The blood of the killer poured into the mouth of the killed shall raise the dead man from his earthy bed.” Estella read. She went to Pennywise’s lair and collected a little bit of his blood.


Later, at the graveyard, Estella was pouring the blood of Pennywise into Rosa’s mouth. Rosa immediately opened her eyes, while her arms grew back, “Estella, where am I? what happened?” Rosa said, looking around. “Rosa, you must kill Pennywise, before EVERYONE dies!” “Ok,” said Rosa “ I will try.” Rosa then went home and gathered her weapons, put her brass knuckles on, and went to Pennywise’s lair.

When she got there, Rosa started to have second thoughts, but she kept on moving. There was blood splattered across the walls, dismembered body parts all over the place, and torture devices on a stage in the far corner. But she kept moving till she got to Pennywise’s throne. “HEY, PENNYWISE” Rosa yelled “ YOU ARE SO UGLY THAT WHEN YOU WERE BORN, THE DOCTOR SLAPPED YOUR MOTHER.” “Rosa” Pennywise snarled “didn’t I kill you already?” Rosa then conjured a whirlwind around her and flew to Pennywise, “yeah and you will have to do it again” she said and then stabbed Pennywise in the heart, took out all of the clowns, and saved anymore innocent people from a cruel death for the clowns entertainment.

Read this paragraph from I Never Had It Made.

Branch Rickey lost that fight, but when he became the boss of the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1943, he felt the time for equality in baseball had come. He knew that achieving it would be terribly difficult. There would be deep resentment, determined opposition, and perhaps even racial violence. He was convinced he was morally right, and he shrewdly sensed that making the game a truly national one would have healthy financial results. He took his case before the startled directors of the club, and using persuasive eloquence, he won the first battle in what would be a long and bitter campaign. He was voted permission to make the Brooklyn club the pioneer in bringing blacks into baseball.

What is the author’s purpose for including this paragraph?

to inform readers about Branch Rickey’s professional career
to inform readers about Branch Rickey’s determination

A Day on Mars
In the year 4791, two brave space explorers met on holodeck 2 of the starship “ Voyager”.

When Conner came to Holodeck 2 to look for Violet, he found a tropical rainforest. Hummingbirds were flying around heliconia stalks, Parrots were flying overhead, and macaw birds were singing in the treetops. It sounded like there was a waterfall nearby. It smelled like it had just rained, and there in the center of the room there was a large stone by a steady stream that Violet was meditating on. Violet suddenly saw Conner and said “ Computer, end program.” “Hey Violet,” said Conner “ we’ve got to go.” “”Where Conner?’ said Violet “ To mars silly,” said Conner “Conner,” Violet said, “ are you sure it’s safe on mars?” “ I’m positive Violet” said Conner “let us go tell the captain we are ready.” “Alright,” said Violet “Computer, teleport us to the Captain.”

Violet and Conner were instantly transported to the captains quarters. The captain looked surprised to see them at first but smiled when she saw it was Violet and Conner. “Hello Violet, Hello Conner,” said Captain Jane Picard “ I see you two must have made up your minds, what is your final answer?” “ We are going!” said Violet and Conner in unison. “Good” said Captain Picard “ Computer, Transport Violet and Conner to mars.” Suddenly there was a loud explosion, then Violet and Conner were on Mars.

Standing ever so elegantly in front of Violet and Conner was a palace made of blue and purple Martian crystals, with flags made of golden silk and embroidered with diamond thread that shined like the stars. Violet and Conner went inside the palace, and there were two thrones, one of pink Martian crystals with a white diamond heart engraved on it and one of blue Martian crystals with a red ruby sword engraved on it. “ what do those symbols mean Violet?” said Conner “They mean love and war.” said Violet “ weird” said Conner “why would thrones have the symbols of love and war.” “Who dares enter my palace?” a voice yelled, “who’s that?” said Conner “ who’s there?” said Violet. Then richly dressed male and female aliens came down the stairs. “I am king Gorg.” said the male alien “and I am Queen Kreeblim” said the female alien “ this is our son Prince Broxholm” said King Gorg “ he is looking for a young lady to marry. “hello” said Prince Broxholm, he looked at Violet “Who are you?” said Prince Broxholm “my name is Violet” said Violet “ it is a pleasure to meet you your majesties” said both Violet and Conner.

Then Prince Broxholm said to Violet “ You are the most beautiful lady I have seen; would you be my princess?” “ Yes!” said Violet “ I would love to!” “ then we must be married at once” said Prince Broxholm “What about me?” said Conner “ You shall be the wedding sacrifice.” said Prince Broxholm. “HooLan, take my bride to her chambers, and Fleef put the sacrifice in the dungeon. “No!, you can’t do this to me!” said Conner. “Conner!” yelled Violet

“ Violet, don’t worry” said Hoolan “there is a secret passageway in your chambers, I will show you, but you must use it with caution, we Martians are light sleepers.” “all right Hoolan” said Violet “ I will”. In the dungeon, Fleef was putting Conner in a cell when Fleef said “Conner there is a secret passage in this cell, though you must use it with caution, because we Martians are light sleepers and if the king and queen hear you they will kill both you and Violet.” “Oh no” said Conner “ I will keep that in mind.”

That night both Violet and Conner used the secret passageways and escaped the Martian castle. They managed to get back to the “voyager” without a problem. “ Conner.” Violet said. “Yes Violet?” Conner said, “ I have to tell you something” Violet said. “What is it Violet” Conner said. “ I don’t feel complete without you” said Violet “ I want to be with you forever, I love you.” “ I love you too Violet” said Conner.

Read the story Hayden and Henry Go to Fenwick Island:

When Hayden and Henry Holbrook were just 10 months old, their parents enrolled them in swimming lessons at the local pool. By the time they were 10 years old, both boys were excellent swimmers. Hayden was best at the backstroke, Henry at the forward crawl. They were identical twins but they were complete opposites in almost every way. While Hayden liked swimming at the pool where the water was warm and familiar, Henry preferred to swim outdoors. He loved to swim in the pond in their backyard or at the lake where they went to camp each summer. Henry liked to try new things and had recently enrolled in a sea swim race in Delaware, about 3 hours from the boys' home in Elizabethtown, PA.

Hayden and Henry had never been to the ocean before. They had travelled a lot in the Midwest, where their grandparents lived, and to upstate New York in the summertime, but they had never been to the coast. Hayden had learned a lot about the New England coast during his shipwreck phase, when he watched loads of documentaries and read every book in the library on the topic.

"The race is in May, right? According to my research, the temperature of the ocean at the time of year is a chilly 50 degrees," Hayden informed his brother. Henry couldn't be deterred. "Water's water. It's all the same," Henry replied to Hayden's doubts.

Henry trained hard. He swam every morning before school at the community pool since the pond was still frozen over. He knew the ocean would be different, but he was determined to take part in the race. Henry thought he even had a good chance of winning in his age category.

Soon, spring sprung in New England, and the Holbrooks set out for the sea race weekend on Fenwick Island. That evening, the whole family sat on the beach and watched the sunset as the waves rolled in. Hayden regaled everyone with stories of pirate buccaneers and long-lost shipwrecks, but Henry was unusually quiet. When they had walked along the boardwalk earlier, he had seen a sign warning swimmers about the possibility of jellyfish in the water. Henry never had to worry about jellyfish in the pool, pond, or lake. Perhaps water wasn't just water. One of the boys' favorite movies had a scene where the bad guy tried to flee the scene of a crime on a speedboat, only to fall off and get stung repeatedly by jellyfish. Every time they watched it, the brothers laughed and laughed. Henry wasn't laughing now. He couldn't stop thinking about how much it would hurt if he got stung by a jellyfish during the race. He wasn't sure if he wanted to compete anymore.

Hayden soon noticed the look of worry on his brother's face. As they strolled back toward their hotel in the pink twilight, Hayden asked his brother what was on his mind.

"Jellyfish," Henry responded.

Hayden laughed, "Yeah, I was thinking of that scene, too, when we walked past the boat rental place earlier. It cracks me up every time."

"I won't be laughing if I get stung during the race tomorrow," Henry said sharply. Then, looking at his brother, he said more softly, "I'm scared of them. I think I'm going to pull out of the race."

Hayden was surprised to hear his twin say this. Henry had always been the confident one, always up for taking risks. Giving up just wasn't his style. It upset Hayden to see his brother looking so down and upset, and he knew he had to do something to comfort his brother as Henry had done for him so many times before. Like bolts of lightning, facts that Hayden had read about jellyfish began to zigzag through his mind. 'Of course!' he thought.

"Henry, remember how I said that the average water temperature in the Atlantic would be around 50 degrees just now?"

"That's not helpful, Hayden," Henry sighed. "I'm prepared for the cold, just not the possibility of pain."

"No, no, that's not my point," Hayden continued excitedly, "Jellyfish prefer warm waters! It's far too cold for them to be out and about in the ocean right now. The probability that you'll see a jellyfish tomorrow, let alone be stung, is very low," he finished triumphantly.

A smile spread across Henry's face. "That's brilliant news, Hayden! Thanks so much. I can always count on you and your random knowledge to save the day!" he laughed, throwing his arm around his brother's shoulder.

Henry slept like a log that night. The next day, he dove head first into the ocean and swam with all his heart. Just as he had hoped, Henry won his race. When he took the podium to collect his medal, no one was cheering louder than Hayden. He was so happy for his brother and that his words had been so helpful.

How do the words used to describe the speaker's examination and reaction to the shark contribute to the tone of the passage?

Poem: Twice I walked With Dinosaurs
One summer we found
a dead baby shark
washed up on the beach,
cut it open with a dinner knife
from the house,
and performed an
outdoor autopsy
As we marveled at its
miniature anatomy,
reveled in the smallness
of each little organ,
seagulls circled overhead.
The ocean was quiet,
barely making waves.
It kept vigil for its tiny causality.

The spring prior,
an alligator wandered
onto the beach during my
uncle’s second wedding.
It was far enough away
to merit an absence of fear, but
nobody took photos or said
a word— we just stared
as it settled itself in the surf,
hoping to be cleansed.

this is part one
see im no good :(

The Killer Clowns
One dark and stormy night, a loud bang came from the garage. A 10 year old girl named Rosa went to see what it was. When Rosa opened the door the lights went out. She knew there was a flashlight near the door, but she couldn’t find it, and the breaker-box was on the other side of the house in the basement. Suddenly the lights started to flicker on and off. She heard footsteps coming down the hall. Rosa ran and hid is a closet across the hall, she whispered to herself “Please don’t come this way”. “Clump, Clump, Clump” She heard the footsteps getting closer, all of a sudden they stopped in front of the door and went back down the hall. Rosa let out a sigh of relief. Then she heard a clown car and thought “That’s odd, clown car’s don’t pass through this late” but realized there were killer clowns on the loose and the police couldn’t stop them, the clowns already killed the entire police force. She knew what she had to do. The kitchen was down the hall and it sounded like the intruder was upstairs in the attic. Rosa had found a bag and started towards the kitchen, she knew exactly where the kitchen knives were and grabbed some food and a large carving knife. She also grabbed her mother’s pistol and some ammo from the gun safe. She heard the front door rattling and knew to get to her room, because it was her and her puppy, Rose-Bud who was a pit bull, that night and it had no windows to get in through.
Rosa locked the room door and pushed the dresser and nightstand against the door to barricade the door. Rosa heard the honking of a rubber chicken, and she knew the clowns were here. Still instead of screaming she stayed silent, got the gun loaded and ready to fire then hid in her closet. She would be safe in there for the time being, suddenly she knew Chuckie had teamed up with the killer clowns. Who else would have the clowns teamed up with besides a haunted doll? Rosa heard a knife scraping against the wall, it was deafening. Rosa was still in her closet with Rose-Bud. “Bang, Bang, Bang” went the door, a clown had gotten in! The clown opened the closet door very slowly and got shot straight in the heart. The gunfire made Chuckie and all the clowns run, but they are still out there.
