Too Fast

Batnik’s father was a great inventor. He had created many things that made people’s lives easier. One of his inventions was a car that could operate on both water and land; this car was Batnik’s favorite. On water, it could float and travel at speeds up to 80 miles per hour. But on land, it could travel at speeds over 200 miles per hour. Batnik’s father had created this special car to help people from their island get to the mainland and other islands faster. When Batnik's father was a boy, the only method of travel from one island to another was by ferry, and the trip often took hours. People who were sick and needed medical help from the mainland would have to endure the long crossing or not go at all because of delays. Batnik’s father loved his homeland and wanted to ease the burden on the people, so he created the water car.

When he showed the car to Batnik, Batnik’s father warned Batnik that the car should not be driven at the maximum speed on land or water because the engine could burst into flame. One day when his father was away, Batnik decided that he wanted to show the car to his friends. He drove it on the water, at first going only half the possible speed. Then, as his excitement grew, he increased his speed on the water and was nearing maximum speed. When he reached the land, he continued to accelerate. His exhilaration grew. Like the mythological Greek boy Icarus, who flew too close to the sun, Batnik forgot his father’s warning and pushed the gas pedal to the floor. When the car exceeded 200 miles per hour, it burst into flames.
How is the character of Batnik's father in “Too Fast” similar to Pan in "Pan: God of the Wild"?

Read Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken." What are two key themes of this poem?

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because (im covering this as a question but who has d!scord)it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

We are faced with choices between good and bad.
It is necessary to make choices in life.
Choices are not mandatory.
Choices shape a person’s life.

Read scenes 1 and 2 from the play The King of Sharks:

Scene 1

Princess is swimming in the ocean, singing.

Narrator: Once, long ago, there lived a beautiful princess on the island of Hawai'i. She loved the ocean, and every morning, she swam in the warm water. While she swam, she sang songs about her love for the deep, blue water and her gratitude for the gentle waves.

Princess: Oh, how I love the ocean. I never want to live anywhere else. If I could not see the beauty of the blue water or hear the sound of the waves, my heart would break.

Princess sees a huge shark fin approaching. Frightened, she swims for shore.

Narrator: One day, the king of the sharks heard the princess's song. Enchanted by her voice and her love for the ocean, he decided he must meet her. Seeing how frightened she was of his true form, the shark king transformed himself into a human, with a magical cloak of scales in all the colors of the sea.

Princess watches in amazement as a prince in a cloak of many-colored scales steps out of the water and offers her his hand.

Shark King: Dearest Princess, I am so pleased to finally meet you. I have heard your songs many times, and I, too, love the ocean. It is my home.

Princess: Please, come with me to meet my family. They will be amazed to see you.

Exit princess and shark king.

Scene 2

Princess sits by a deep pool on the beach. A large home built into a cliff face is behind her. She holds a baby on her lap. In the pool, a large shark circles.

Narrator: After some time, the shark king and the princess were married. They lived together happily, and they had a son. Sadly, the enchantment that made the shark king human could not last forever.

Shark king emerges from the pool in human form. He removes his cloak and lays it at the princess's feet.

Shark King: My dearest one, I must return home to the ocean now. I will leave this magical cloak for our son. Whenever he wears it, he will be safe from all harm. One day, he will come to find me in his true home, under the waves.

Shark king jumps back into the pool and disappears down into its depths. The princess wraps the baby in the cloak.
------------------------
If the shark king had decided not to transform himself into a human in scene 1, how might scene 2 change?

A. Instead of being about the shark king's marriage and son, scene 2 might be about the shark king's friendship with the fishermen.

B. Instead of being about the shark king's marriage and son, scene 2 might be about the shark king's loneliness.

C. Instead of being about the shark king's marriage and son, scene 2 might be about the shark king's love of the ocean.

D. Instead of being about the shark king's marriage and son, scene 2 might be about the shark king's marriage to the princess.
