Meanwhile, Wash had arrived at Kelly Ingram Park to watch. “[W]e saw those people willingly turn themselves over to the police . . . ,” he said. His reaction: “Wow, they must be crazy.” Experience had taught Wash that “the police was vicious murderers.” He knew how much pain they could inflict on young black bodies – as Arnetta discovered the next day.

PAGE 2

Arnetta didn’t go to the mass meeting that night. She was disappointed she hadn’t been arrested. Somehow, she had gotten separated from the rest of the Peace Ponies, many of whom did get arrested and jailed. Instead, she went home and talked with her parents about the excitement of marching. They repeated their advice: “You’ve done your part. You need to leave this alone.”

Someday you'll have to go out into the world and get a job. Though that day may be a little far off, it's never too early to practice professional communication. This project will give you the opportunity to do just that. You will write a business letter and a memo.

OBJECTIVES
Write a business letter and a memo.
Instructions:
As you write your business letter and memo, be sure to include all the proper elements. Refer to the list below as you begin writing. Remember, before you begin writing, be sure to choose which business where you want your letter received, and choose a person for which you'll write a memo.

Date--indicates the date the letter was written
Sender's address--considered an optional feature; it includes the address of the sender. It does not list the sender's name or position.
Inside address--includes the name of the person who will receive the letter and the complete address. Include the person's title such as Dr., Mr., or Ms. when unaware of a woman's title preference.
Greeting/salutation--includes the title and full name, followed by a colon
Body--provides details of the purpose for the letter. The first paragraph introduces the main idea. The middle of the letter or second paragraph explains the main idea. The end or last paragraph summarizes the main purpose for the letter and explains any required action. The writer must weigh the purpose for the letter against the length of the final copy of the letter. If the writer is seeking information or a job, then the letter is generally three paragraphs in length. It should not be too long or troublesome to read, but if the letter conveys specific information that the reader requested or needs, it may be longer.
Closing--"Sincerely" is the standard closing. It should be brief and followed by a comma.
Signature--The signature includes the signed and printed name of the writer.
Notations--includes additional information, depending on the purpose of the letter
enclosures: provides a signal that other material is included with the letter
continued pages: informs the reader that the letter extends beyond one page
typist's initials: tells the reader who typed the letter; original writers do not include initials.
cc: When carbon copies were used to create duplicates, cc indicated that a carbon copy was made and other people would receive the same letter. Today, the process of copying documents has certainly changed, but the name means the same.

Which statement describes the point of view of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer?
A.
A narrator is telling the story.
B.
A family member is telling the story.
C.
Sid is narrating the story.
D.
Tom is narrating the story.

Text:
Monday morning found Tom Sawyer miserable. Monday morning always found him so—because it began another week's slow suffering in school. He generally began that day with wishing he had had no intervening holiday, it made the going into captivity and fetters again so much more odious.
Tom lay thinking. Presently it occurred to him that he wished he was sick; then he could stay home from school. Here was a vague possibility. He canvassed his system. No ailment was found, and he investigated again. This time he thought he could detect colicky symptoms, and he began to encourage them with considerable hope. But they soon grew feeble, and presently died wholly away. He reflected further. Suddenly he discovered something. One of his upper front teeth was loose. This was lucky; he was about to begin to groan, as a "starter," as he called it, when it occurred to him that if he came into court with that argument, his aunt would pull it out, and that would hurt. So he thought he would hold the tooth in reserve for the present, and seek further. Nothing offered for some little time, and then he remembered hearing the doctor tell about a certain thing that laid up a patient for two or three weeks and threatened to make him lose a finger. So the boy eagerly drew his sore toe from under the sheet and held it up for inspection. But now he did not know the necessary symptoms. However, it seemed well worth while to chance it, so he fell to groaning with considerable spirit.
But Sid slept on unconscious.
Tom groaned louder, and fancied that he began to feel pain in the toe.
No result from Sid.
Tom was panting with his exertions by this time. He took a rest and then swelled himself up and fetched a succession of admirable groans.
Sid snored on.
Tom was aggravated. He said, "Sid, Sid!" and shook him. This course worked well, and Tom began to groan again. Sid yawned, stretched, then brought himself up on his elbow with a snort, and began to stare at Tom. Tom went on groaning. Sid said:
"Tom! Say, Tom!" [No response.] "Here, Tom! TOM! What is the matter, Tom?" And he shook him and looked in his face anxiously.
