THE VOYAGES OF DOCTOR DOLITTLE
By Hugh Lofting
Chapter 1: The Cobbler's Son
My name was Tommy Stubbins, son of Jacob Stubbins, the cobbler of Puddleby-on-the-Marsh; and I was nine and a half years old. At that time Puddleby was only quite a small town. A river ran through the middle of it; and over this river there was a very old stone bridge, called Kingsbridge, which led you from the market-place on one side to the churchyard on the other.
Sailing-ships came up this river from the sea and anchored near the bridge. I used to go down and watch the sailors unloading the ships upon the river-wall. The sailors sang strange songs as they pulled upon the ropes; and I learned these songs by heart. And I would sit on the river-wall with my feet dangling over the water and sing with the men, pretending to myself that I too was a sailor.
For I longed always to sail away with those brave ships when they turned their backs on Puddleby Church and went creeping down the river again, across the wide lonely marshes to the sea. I longed to go with them out into the world to seek my fortune in foreign lands—Africa, India, China and Peru! When they got round the bend in the river and the water was hidden from view, you could still see their huge brown sails towering over the roofs of the town, moving onward slowly—like some gentle giants that walked among the houses without noise. What strange things would they have seen, I wondered, when next they came back to anchor at Kingsbridge! And, dreaming of the lands I had never seen, I'd sit on there, watching till they were out of sight.

Explanation:
What type of government was chosen in South Africa? a) Racial government b) Democratic government c) Non-racial democratic government d) Racial democratic government
Answer:
b) Democratic government
Explanation:
South Africa was an English colony for many years. However, in 1910, with an organization to seek independence among Africans, the British overthrew the colony system and transformed South Africa into something called a "union," which was basically the same thing as a colony, but which it allowed a small domination by the Africans. However, the movement for independence became increasingly strong, which allowed South Africa to become an independent country in 1931. After a period of political organization, it was decided that the African government would be a representative parliamentary democratic republic. Which means that the population would choose its rulers, who would represent all citizens in political matters.
Find the error with subject-verb agreement. Select the incorrect verb and type it correctly. The Cedarburg Environmental Association have worked for decades with one clearly defined goal to reduce the negative impact of human activity on the natural world.
Answer:
The incorrect verb is "have", and should be replaced with "has". The Cedarburg Environmental Association has worked for decades with one clearly defined goal to reduce the negative impact of human activity on the natural world.
Explanation:
A subject-verb agreement means the subject and verb must correspond with each other. If the subject is plural, the verb must also be plural, and the same applies to if the subject is singular. In this case, the subject (The Cedarbug Environmental Association) is singluar, since they are referring to the assicoation as a whole. Therefore, the verb must also be singular. "Have" is plural; "has" is singular. I hope this helps!

The lamprey actually latches on to its victims, specifically sucking the life out of them.
Answer:
The lamprey has the ability to latch on and ultimately weaken its prey.
Explanation:
A concise statement is one that is not too wordy but is rather straightforward and retains the original meaning intended by the author. When sentences are too wordy, the real meaning being conveyed could be lost.
Concise statements are expressed in as few words are possible so as to retain the interest of the reader. This will also prevent the reader from skipping around in order to get the main point. With these in mind, the first option is the most concise statement.
The lamprey has the ability to latch on and ultimately weaken its prey.

Explanation:
What is the significance of the Valley of the Ashes? What images does Fitzgerald use to describe the landscape? How does the setting seem to affect the people who live there? There is a remarkable contrast in the atmosphere of the “valley of the ashes” with the atmosphere of West Egg and East Egg as well as that of Manhattan.
Answer:
The valley of ashes represents the moral and social decay that results from the uninhibited pursuit of wealth, as the rich indulge themselves with regard for nothing but their own pleasure. The valley of ashes also symbolizes the plight of the poor, like George Wilson, who live among the dirty ashes and lose their vitality as a result.

2. The snake bragged that he could send people back to earth from, "whence they came." What
did he mean?
(14 Points)
The snake means people will go back to their childhood homes.
The snake means that he can send people back to the past.
The snake means that his poison can kill the body and allow the soul to return to where it came from.
Answer:
The snake means that his poison can kill the body and allow the soul to return to where it came from.
Explanation:
The children's classic "The Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupery revolves around the story of a stranded pilot's encounter with a "Little Prince" from the planet "Asteroid B-612".
The Little Prince's encounter with the "coil of gold" on the barren desert is found in chapter 17. Here, the Little Prince did not know about snakes nor about anything but was courteously conversing with the reptile. When he commented on how powerless the snake is, "u haven't even any feet. You cannot even travel. . ." the snake remarked that "Whomever I touch, I send back to the earth from whence he came."
This reference is to the Biblical notion of man coming from dust and returning to dust when one dies. So, when he said "whence they came" he's talking about the poison that can kill and send men back to the earth.
Thus, the correct answer is the third option.

Answer:

Explanation:
In this part of the activity, you will evaluate your three critiques of the poem. You will first need to recall what you learned about intentional and affective fallacies in this unit. W. K. Wimsatt and Monroe Beardsley coined both terms. The term intentional fallacy refers to the idea that an author’s purpose or intention in writing a work of literature has no importance in appreciating or critiquing that work. The term affective fallacy refers to the idea that how a work affects a reader or what emotions it arouses in the reader have no importance in appreciating or critiquing that work. Read this Knowledge Article to learn more about New Criticism and the affective and intentional fallacies.
Evaluate your response to part A. Explain the disadvantages of emphasizing background information, such as historical context when critiquing a poem. Be sure to include examples from your analyses.
My answer to Part A:
Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of being and ideal grace. I love thee to the level of every day's Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light. I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
Answer
Historical/Biographical Approach
Advantages: Works well for some which are obviously political or biographical in nature. Places allusions in their proper classical, political, or biblical background.
Disadvantages: "The intentional fallacy". Tends to reduce art to the level of biography and make it relative rather than universal.
Moral/Philosophical Approach
Advantages: Useful for works that present an obvious moral philosophy. Useful when considering the themes. Doesn't view literature merely as "art" isolated from all moral implications. Recognizes that literature can affect readers and that the message is important.
Disadvantages: "Judgmental"
Formalism/New Criticism
Advantages: Can be performed without much research. Emphasizes the value instead of the context of literature. Virtually all critical approaches must begin here.Disadvantages: Text is seen in isolation. Ignores the context. Cannot account for allusions.
