In the days since she and her family had sailed away from Germany and the refugee camp, Liisi had spent many hours staring out at the ocean waves from the deck. Somehow, in the back of her mind, she had always believed they would return home to Estonia after the war. Yet, every time she had mentioned this to her parents, they just frowned and changed the subject. After they had escaped the Russians and fled to Germany, there had been no real home for them except the cramped apartment in the little German town of Geislingen where the U.S. Army housed Estonian refugees. Liisi had made good friends there—her Girl Scout troop of five had been inseparable—but now they were all scattered to the winds. Two of the girls had stayed in Germany, and the other two were going to Canada. Here she was all alone sailing to America.
Feeling mighty lonely, Liisi reached into the inside pocket of her coat and pulled out a photograph. On it was her Girl Scout troop, all dressed in traditional Estonian costumes for a dance they had organized at the refugee camp. The dress Liisi wore was too small, as she had worn it back in Tallinn when she was younger. Liisi ran her thumb over the image of herself and closed her eyes as she remembered.
"Liisi, hold still while I button your dress!" Her mother scolded.
But Liisi was so eager to join the other kids in Tallinn's town square, she could not stop moving. At 10, she was just old enough to join in the folk dances as the city celebrated Jaanipäev—John's Day, or Midsummer's Eve. The June 23 festival always made her giddy with delight, and as her mother finally released her, she gave her a swift hug and flew out the door.
The square was just a few blocks away, and Liisi could hear the cheers of the crowd as she raced down the cobblestone streets. As she rounded the last corner and entered the square, the dancing had already begun. She was so glad she had paid attention when her mom taught her the traditional steps. Making her way to the front of the crowd, Liisi's school friends waved to her. She caught up to them just as the band started playing, and they arranged themselves in a line for the next dance. At that moment, Liisi could not imagine ever living anywhere else.
The wind had picked up, and the ocean spray woke Liisi from her reverie. A tear had made its way down her cheek, and she wiped it away before replacing the photo in her pocket.
"That was then," she told herself sternly and pushed those other thoughts away. Then, she turned her back to the ocean as if to leave her entire past behind her and went to find her parents.

Read this excerpt from Emily Dickinson's “There Is Another Sky.” Which two lines show that the poem is addressed to a person the speaker knows well?

There is another sky,
Ever serene and fair,
And there is another sunshine,
((Though it be darkness there;
Never mind faded forests, Austin,))
Never mind silent fields -
Here is a little forest,
Whose leaf is ever green;
((Here is a brighter garden,))
Where not a frost has been;

I hear the bright bee hum:

Into my garden come!))

F1GUR3



John stepped out of the darkness with blood on his hands and ash on his face. The blast nearly killed him, but he must try again. The Constuction company needed this Master Robot to help. John slowly worked out the kinks and tried to bring his masterpiece online. (mumbles) “A cut here, put a transformer here.” He got up and pulled the lever one more time. Bright flashes of electricity shined above the table; the robot lay there waiting. Suddenly a bolt of electricity shot into the robot's access port on its neck. John knew it wouldn’t work; the town had given him a scarce amount of money for this project so that meant bad resources. A spark from the lever made John jump in pain, but it was too late. His entire body was engulfed in flames within a fraction of a second. He slowly died and fell onto the floor. After that, the electricity stopped running and the robot sat up and its face had an angry look as it stared at its creator. “SFPD Open Up!” The load yell made the robot jolt off the table and it just stood there staring out the door. Then, the door broke down and in came 10-armed San Fransisco Police officers. Who fired MK53-Tazers at the robot which made it fall to its knees. The robot woke up in a padded room filled with absolutely nothing technological. It spoke “just a small figure in a big room, I guess.” “yeah, that’s what I’ll call myself, The F1GUR3!” F1GUR3 put its hand up against the wall and unleashed a spark of energy, blowing away all the soft padding and the wall with it. It walked out into a small Laboratory with Master robots hanging by their wrists. A guard popped out of nowhere and shot the F1GUR3 in the head, but the bullet bounced right off. F1GUR3’s hands clenched around the guard's neck and tightened till the guard stopped struggling. F1GUR3 put its hand up once more and blew away the entrance door. It walked out with moonlight shining brightly and the stars behind it.
