adapted excerpt from To Be Famous We Must Be Ambitious
by Rosetta Dunigan
Much of the advancement of the world can be traced to the efforts of those who were moved by ambition to become famous. However, be forewarned: ambition is like fire. It is an excellent servant, but a poor master. Used for the wrong ends, it may burn and destroy. As long as it is used strictly in service of integrity, honor, and justice, there is but little danger in having too much ambition.
Which uses of the excerpt are acceptable and which are not?
Ambition can be “an excellent
servant, but a poor master” in life.
As long as it is used strictly in
service of integrity, honor, and
justice, there is but little danger
in having too much ambition.
If ambition is “used for the wrong
ends,” such as pride or greed, it
may “burn and destroy” those
around it “like fire” (Dunigan).
Ambition is a useful and good
quality when applied to valuable
goals, but if it is used for the
wrong purposes, it can be very
problematic (Dunigan).

Identify What universal themes does Homer explore in the Odyssey? Choose two events from either Part One or Part Two, and explain how Homer conveys theme, or central message, in each.
Answers
Answer and Explanation:
As you may already know, "Odyssey" is an epic story written, probably, by Homer. The story takes place in Greece, during the Trojan War and we learn about the achievements and adventures of the hero Odysseus and his attempts to return home.
In part I of this story, we are introduced to topics such as cunning and fidelity. Cunning is presented through Odisseuy's deeds, which is the main characteristic of this hero. Cunning is presented at all times in the work, pointing Odysseus as someone who is courageous, daring and intelligent. Fidelity, on the other hand, is presented through Odysseus' remorse for not being faithful to his wife during many moments in his adventures.
Part II of this work presents other themes such as character flaws and hospitality. The character flaw is also a great feature of Odysseus and shows how imperfect the hero is, in addition to humanizing him and allowing readers to identify with him. The hospitality is due to Odisseu's wife, who needs to receive in her home many suitors who bother her and destroy her family's patrimony.
Summarize: Screech! When a driver pushes on the brake pedal, it starts a process that causes the vehicle to stop. You literally trust braking systems with your life every time you get into a vehicle or cross a busy intersection, but how does this process work? It begins when the pedal is pushed. At this moment brake fluid is released into the area where the braking mechanisms are located. As the fluid collects, leverage is created, which causes a friction to be applied. If the braking system is functioning properly, this friction will create a force that will cause the wheels to stop and allow you to reach your destination safely.

Answer:
Well for writing you should really do your own work, it's VERY apparent to a good teacher when you haven't. But we've all had times where we're simply at a loss, so here would be my suggestions to be able to get in the headspace for this story:
1. You can probably pad with some talk of your dream location. It's first-person I presume, so maybe a sentence or two of your narrator daydreaming. Perhaps them snapping out of it is when they realize they don't seem to be on the right track.
2. What would cause the plane to be going somewhere else? Is this a scenario that's more fantastical like some sort of science fiction? Or is it more grounded, like a hijacking? I mean is it even going the wrong way, I think (depending on how cool your teacher is and how loose the prompt) it could be more interesting to write a story about how you simply think that you're off course. That can be the foundation for a cute little comedy short story, or even a slightly dramatic short story about anxiety or something along those lines.
3. Finally if this is a very major grade and none of that helped, consider reaching out to other people in the class that you know and ask what theirs is about. Plagiarism is bad, but with a more simple assignment like this, your teacher is probably going to be getting some pretty samey answers anyways so it'll be hard to tell.
Although, all that said, if you really want to impress your teacher, then do something a bit unexpected with your story. It's creative writing, so get creative! I can't tell you how many times I've walked out of an assignment like that with a high grade just because I went against the grain and put a little effort into it.
Not sure if this is what you were looking for, but I hope it helped.

On pages 131-133, Marta is using kittens as a metaphor for the farmers. How are the farmers like the kittens? How does Marta suggest they fight being "like kittens"? Use specific evidence form the text in your answer.
Answers
Answer:
1. The farmers are like kittens because they do not speak up for their rights and this is comparable to the timidity of the kittens.
Evidence: Holding up a kitten Marta said, "This is us small meek animals we don’t speak up.”
2. Marta suggests that they go on strike in two weeks to protest for their rights to "higher wages and better housing".
Explanation:
In page 132 of the book Las Almendras, Marta is unhappy with the treatment meted onto the farmers as well as their inability to speak up and demand their rights to food and proper housing. Using a metaphor to drive home her point, Marta holds up a kitten and compares the farmers to it.
Just as this animal was "small and meek", so were the farmers who appeared small in the eyes of their oppressors. She encouraged them to snap out of this timidity by protesting for their rights.

Read the sentence “It is but due to the sex, however, to state that their impropriety was professional, and it was only in such easily established standards of evil that Poker Flat ventured to sit in judgment". How is the phrase “To state that their impropriety was professional” an example of euphemism.
Answers
Answer: This statement can be considered blunt or rather rude, not only that, but the topic is somewhat of an unpleasant one. Since it would be rather rude or blunt, terms like impropriety and professional were used, to keep the subject and discussion civil.
Explanation: A euphemism is a mild or indirect word or expression substituted for one considered to be too harsh or blunt when referring to something unpleasant or embarrassing.
