Read the excerpt from “Tools of the Spymaster."

General Gates's troops held their ground. Benedict Arnold, one of Gates's generals, argued for a counterattack that would smash the British force. Gates, outraged that Arnold would challenge his order, took away his command. But the rash Arnold saw a chance to strike a crucial blow. He galloped through the crossfire of both armies, inspiring his men. A bullet struck his leg, but he rode on, leading the final assault that shattered the British fortifications. If he had died of his wounds that day, Arnold would be remembered as one of the great heroes of the Revolutionary War.

Read the excerpt from “Tools of the Spymaster."

Later, as Clinton's troops were heading up the Hudson Valley, Clinton used another device to pass the news of his whereabouts to Burgoyne. Clinton wrote a message on a piece of silk that he put in a silver ball about the size of a musket ball. (Clinton also sometimes cut a message into long, narrow strips and coiled them into the hollow quill of a large feather.) Clinton gave the silver ball to Daniel Taylor, a young officer, promising that Taylor would be promoted if he got the message to Burgoyne. If he were captured, he was to swallow the ball. Because it was made of silver, it could not harm him.

The author’s main purpose in this excerpt is to

persuade the reader that a spy named Daniel Taylor is a hero.
entertain the reader with a humorous story about a young officer.
prove that spying was the only way for the Americans to win the war.
give an example of creative spying during the American Revolution.

Write a poem that expresses a wish or a dream of yours. You may wish to contrast your wish with a real-life situation that you want to change or improve. Use a variety of sentence types and also include at least one shift in mood (in the grammatical sense), such as a shift between indicative and subjunctive mood.
