“Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout Would Not Take the Garbage Out” by Shel Silverstein

Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout Would not take the garbage out!
She’d scour the pots and scrape the pans,
Candy the yams and spice the hams,
5 And though her daddy would scream and shout, She simply would not take the garbage out. And so it piled up to the ceiling:
Coffee grounds, potato peelings, Brown bananas, rotten peas, 10 Chunks of sour cottage cheese.
It filled the can, it covered the floor,
It cracked the window and blocked the door
With bacon rinds and chicken bones,
Drippy ends of ice cream cones,
15 Prune pits, peach pits, orange peel,
Gloppy glumps of cold oatmeal,
Pizza crusts and withered greens,
Soggy beans and tangerines,
Crusts of black burned buttered toast,
20 Gristly bits of beefy roasts…
The garbage rolled on down the hall,
It raised the roof, it broke the wall…
Greasy napkins, cookie crumbs,
Globs of gooey bubblegum,
25 Cellophane from green baloney,
Rubbery blubbery macaroni,
Peanut butter, caked and dry,
Curdled milk and crusts of pie,
Moldy melons, dried up mustard,
30 Eggshells mixed with lemon custard, Cold French fries and rancid meat, Yellow lumps of Cream of Wheat. At last the garbage reached so high That finally it touched the sky.
35 And all the neighbors moved away,
And none of her friends would come to play.
And finally Sarah Cynthia Stout said,
“OK, I’ll take the garbage out!”
But then, of course, it was too late
40 The garbage reached across the state,
From New York to the Golden Gate
And there, in the garbage she did hate,
Poor Sarah met an awful fate,
That I cannot right now relate
45 Because the hour is much too late. But children, remember Sarah Stout And always take the garbage out!

PLZ HURRY
Read the opening paragraph of Megan’s short story: I was eleven years old when I first realized that I was different from everyone else. As a girl growing up with only brothers, I could slug a baseball, hold my own in a rough-and-tumble game of tag football, and skate backward like my older brother. Sure, I played with dolls, too, and I really liked my dancing lessons. But most of all, I felt okay about me. Then something happened. I became the new kid in a new school; I became the kid nobody liked. And I didn’t know why.
Which of the following sentences is a conclusion that points back to the introduction of Megan’s story?

A. I left school without a backward glance, knowing I’d never have to go back. “Goodbye and good riddance” was all I could say.
B. By my last year of high school, things had started to turn around. But by then, I no longer cared. I knew where I was going and what I was going to be.
C. I learned that being an outsider isn’t necessarily all bad. I’m now stronger for it. I know and like who I am. I’m not sure my tormentors can say the same about themselves.
D. The air smelled like freedom on that last day of school. I emptied my locker, packed up my stuff, and sprinted off toward home on feet that barely touched the hot sidewalk.
