Answer the following questions from one of three points of view: a child’s, the poet’s, or your personal point of view.
What does Dickinson ask and tell the reader in the first stanza?
How does a “Somebody” behave like a frog?
What other ideas does the comparison suggest?
Answer:
Point of view: personal
In the first stanza, Dickinson, through the narrator, tells the reader that she’s “Nobody” and asks the reader who he or she is and whether he or she is a “Nobody” like her.
Just as a frog's constant croaking advertises its presence, a “Somebody” will grab attention through speaking and outward behavior. By comparing a “Somebody” to a frog, Dickinson suggests that this type of person does not really have any qualities or skills that make him or her worth noticing—this person is as dull as a croaking frog.
Being a modest and thoughtful “Nobody” is preferable to being a “Somebody” who simply makes a lot of noise to get attention.

Read the story "Memories Of A Memory" and answer the questions.
Have you ever witnessed something amazing, shocking or surprising and found when describing the event that your story seems to change the more you tell it? Have you ever experienced a time when you couldn't really describe something you saw in a way that others could understand? If so, you may understand why some experts think eyewitness testimony is unreliable as evidence in scientific inquiries and trials. New insights into human memory suggest human memories are really a mixture of many non-factual things.
First, memory is vague. Imagine your room at home or a classroom you see every day. Most likely, you could describe the room very generally. You could name the color of the walls, the floors, the decorations. But the image you describe will never be as specific or detailed as if you were looking at the actual room. Memory tends to save a blurry image of what we have seen rather than specific details. So when a witness tries to identify someone, her brain may recall that the person was tall, but not be able to say how tall when faced with several tall people. There are lots of different kinds of "tall."
Second, memory uses general knowledge to fill in gaps. Our brains reconstruct events and scenes when we remember something. To do this, our brains use other memories and other stories when there are gaps. For example, one day at a library you go to quite frequently, you witness an argument between a library patron and one of the librarians. Later, when telling a friend about the event, your brain may remember a familiar librarian behind the desk rather than the actual participant simply because it is recreating a familiar scene. In effect, your brain is combining memories to help you tell the story.
Third, your memory changes over time. It also changes the more you retell the story. Documented cases have shown eyewitnesses adding detail to testimony that could not have been known at the time of the event. Research has also shown that the more a witness's account is told, the less accurate it is. You may have noticed this yourself. The next time you are retelling a story, notice what you add, or what your brain wants to add, to the account. You may also notice that you drop certain details from previous tellings of the story.
With individual memories all jumbled up with each other, it is hard to believe we ever know anything to be true. Did you really break your mother's favorite vase when you were three? Was that really your father throwing rocks into the river with you when you were seven? The human brain may be quite remarkable indeed. When it comes to memory, however, we may want to start carrying video cameras if we want to record the true picture.

3. Which line from the text best explains what happens when witnesses repeat their accounts of an event?
Human memories are really a mixture of many non-factual things
Memory tends to save a blurry image of what we have seen
Our brains use other memories and other stories when there are gaps
Documented cases have shown eyewitnesses adding detail to testimony
4. Which of the following best summarizes the main point of the essay "Memories of a Memory"?
Humans cannot recall their earliest memories accurately.
Humans have interesting brains that do many things to memories.
Humans have trouble recalling details of spaces.
Human memory is unreliable because it is not factual.
Answer:
Which line from the text best explains why the author suggests we start carrying video cameras?
=The next time you are retelling a story, notice what you add
Which line from the text best explains why we may not know how true our memories are?
=Most likely, you could describe the room very generally
Which line from the text best explains what our brains do when there are blanks in a story?
=Our brains use other memories and other stories when there are gaps

Read the passage.
Art education must receive funding in Pleasantville Public Schools. We must have funding because it is so necessary. Who could be against funding for art? Unfortunately, our mayor does not support art funding and will not vote for it. She is uncultured and does not care about art. She probably does not allow art even in her own house.
Which phrases from the passage represent the logical fallacy known as begging the question?
“art education must receive funding” and ”we must have funding”
“it is so necessary” and “will not vote for it”
“She is uncultured and does not care about art.”
“She probably does not allow art even in her own house.”
Answer:
D.
Explanation:
"A logical fallacy is a flaw in the structure of a deductive argument which renders the argument invalid."
At the beginning of this passage, the speaker has more of a point, but by saying "She probably does not allow art even in her own house" shows that the speaking is just making assumptions even if they are not true. In conclusion, this renders the argument is invalid.

Gottlieb Mittelberger was a schoolteacher who left Germany in May of 1750 to make his journey to America. He arrived at the port of Philadelphia in October of that year, and kept a diary detailing his experience on the journey. Read an excerpt from his firsthand account.
After reading the excerpt, briefly compare the man’s account of life on a ship to Avi’s portrayal of it in The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle. What are the main differences and similarities between each portrayal? Your response should be about 150 words.
Answer:
When the ships have for the last time weighed their anchors near the city of [Cowes] in Old England, the real misery begins with the long voyage. For from there the ships, unless they have good wind, must often sail 8, 9, 10 to 12 weeks before they reach Philadelphia. But even with the best wind the voyage lasts 7 weeks.
But during the voyage there is on board these ships terrible misery, stench, fumes, horror, vomiting, many kinds of sea-sickness, fever, dysentery, headache, heat, constipation, boils, scurvy, cancer, mouth-rot, and the like all of which come from old and sharply salted food and meat, also from very bad and foul water, so that many die miserably.
Add to this want of provisions, hunger, thirst, frost, heat, dampness, anxiety, want, afflictions and lamentations, together with other trouble, as c. v. the lice abound so frightfully, especially on sick people, that they can be. scraped off the body. The misery reaches the climax when a gale rages for 2 or 3 nights and days, so that every one believes that the ship will go to 'the bottom with all human beings on board. In such a-visitation the people cry and pray most piteously. . . .
I myself had to pass through a severe illness at sea, and I best know how I felt at the time. These poor people often long for consolation, and I often entertained and comforted them with singing, praying and exhorting; and whenever it was possible and the winds and waves permitted it, I kept daily prayer-meetings with them on deck. Besides, I baptized five children in distress, because we had no ordained minister on board. I also held divine service every Sunday by reading sermons to the people; and when the dead were sunk in the water, I commended them and our souls to the mercy of God.
Among the healthy, impatience sometimes grows so great and cruel that one curses the other, or himself and the day of his birth, and sometimes come near killing each other. Misery and malice join each other, so that they cheat and rob one another. One always reproaches the other with having persuaded him to undertake the journey. Frequently children cry out against their parents, husbands against their wives and wives against their husbands, brothers and sisters, friends and acquaintances against each other. But most against the soul-traffickers.
Many sigh and cry: "Oh, that I were at home again, and if I had to lie in my pig-sty!" Or they say: "0 God, if I only had a piece of good bread, or a good fresh drop of water." Many people whimper, sigh and cry piteously for their homes; most of them get home-sick. Many hundred people necessarily die and perish in such misery, and must be cast into the sea, which drives their relatives, or those who persuaded them to undertake the journey, to such despair that it is almost impossible to pacify and console them. In a word, the sighing and crying and lamenting on board the ship continues night and day, so as to cause the hearts even of the most hardened to bleed when they hear it. . . .

Was you in the crowd,
And how made me laugh.

And dances with the daffodils.

Which sentence from the passage best describes a conflict in this passage?
As soon as Curtis woke up, he knew something was wrong. His face seemed like it was on fire and itched something awful! He jumped out of bed and rushed to the bathroom and splashed water on his face, but it really didn’t help. He looked closely in the mirror, and the whole right side of his face was red. Alarmed, he yelled for his mother, who rushed into the bathroom. “What’s wrong?” she asked. “Why are you screaming?”
“Look at my face,” Curtis said and turned to her.
His mother put her glasses on and bent down to examine his face. She touched the red area and pushed his hair back. “It itches like crazy,” he said.
She turned his head to one side so the light was better and touched the red area again. “Try not to scratch it,” she said, “that’ll just make it worse.”
“Don’t you have something you can put on it?”
“Come into my bathroom, and I’ll put some lotion on it,” she said.
The lotion helped a little; at least Curtis didn’t feel like he wanted to scratch his face off. “What do you think it is?” he asked his mother.
“Well, it looks like something bit you,” she said, “maybe a spider.”
“In my bed?” he asked and shivered involuntarily.
“Maybe, but weren’t you and Trevor playing in the woods yesterday?” she asked.
“That’s right, we were, but nothing bit me.”
She turned his face to get a better look. “Whether it was in the woods or in your bed, something definitely bit you right there on your cheekbone,” she said. “I can see the mark clearly in this light. We’re going to have to take you to the clinic.”
“But I have school today, and I haven’t missed school all year. Can’t I go to the school nurse? I think the lotion is really working,” he added hurriedly. This last statement was not really true as his face was still hot and itchy, but Curtis was determined to get a perfect attendance award at the awards assembly in May.
“I’d feel better if Dr. Cline looked at it. She can recommend a skin cream that will help you feel better. Go get dressed while I call the clinic. Maybe they can see you first thing and you can go to school a little late.”
A.
"He looked closely in the mirror, and the whole right side of his face was red."
B.
"She touched the red area and pushed his hair back."
C.
"The lotion helped a little; at least Curtis didn't feel like he wanted to scratch his face off."

"She turned his head to one side so the light was better and touched the red area again."

What do you think the most persuasive argument in the editorial about students texting at school is and why?
here's the story
Editorial: Let high school students use their cell phones outside class
Schools all over the nation are acknowledging that technology is a large part of students’ lives. While most schools continue to ban texting and calling during class time, some schools are allowing students to call and text in-between classes.
Students have been doing this in secret for a long time. Allowing students to use their phones between classes will cut down on this behavior.
Additionally, most parents want the option of being able to contact their child between classes during the school day. Cell phones have become an important parenting tool.
Sure, some people will say that students should be able to be “phone-free” during the school day, but that is probably not realistic in this day and age. If schools can help children and parents communicate without disrupting class, all the better! Let kids go mobile at school!
Answer:
If schools can help children and parents communicate without disrupting class, all the better! Let kids go mobile at school!
Explanation:
Answer:
We should let kids text in school, especially if their not disrupting the class. Sometime parents want to check on their kids in class and they should be able to!

Read these paragraphs and answer the question that follows:
In 2008, more than one million American students gave nearly 20 million service hours to their communities. They made a difference in people's lives and learned some important life lessons in the process. Organizations, including schools, are actively promoting service for all citizens as a way to be involved, help others, and improve themselves.
Service is helping other people and being active in your community. For example, one group of teens planted a community garden with their friends. They grow a variety of vegetables. The garden requires regular care. The teens donate the produce to a local soup kitchen. Workers there use the produce to help feed people in the community. By tending the garden and donating their produce, the teens are actively helping make life a bit better for others in their community.
Service is valuable in ways that cannot be measured in dollars. People volunteer or serve others without expecting money or gifts in return. Service is not about earning money. It is not just collecting money to give to a group. It is about action and contributing to the common good. The people who serve as well as those who receive help benefit in many ways that are more important than money or gifts. For example, a soup kitchen provides essential food to people who may otherwise go hungry. The soup kitchen is extremely valuable for those struggling to get enough to eat. Those serving learn about compassion and how helping others can improve life for all.
Millions of Americans are making society better for themselves and for others. They are participating citizens in their community, raising up those who are less fortunate. In return, they become better people who can understand the perspectives and needs of others, which are invaluable and important qualities of good citizens.

The greedy neighbor, hearing of this new piece of good luck, was filled with envy as before, and called on the old man and asked to borrow the wonderful mortar for a short time, pretending that he, too, sorrowed for the death of Shiro, and wished to make cakes for a festival to the dog’s memory.
The old man did not in the least wish to lend it to his cruel neighbor, but he was too kind to refuse. So the envious man carried home the mortar, but he never brought it back.
Several days passed, and Shiro’s master waited in vain for the mortar, so he went to call on the borrower, and asked him to be good enough to return the mortar if he had finished with it. He found him sitting by a big fire made of pieces of wood. On the ground lay what looked very much like pieces of a broken mortar. In answer to the old man’s inquiry, the wicked neighbor answered haughtily:
“Have you come to ask me for your mortar? I broke it to pieces, and now I am making a fire of the wood, for when I tried to pound cakes in it only some horrid smelling stuff came out.”
Answer:
He only wanted it for himself instead of telling him something was wrong with it he smashed it to pieces making the neighbor shiros owner exreammly upset so the point of view from the greedy neightbor is that he didnt care about others feelings and he was just being selfish
