Informed Voting
When I hear a politician making a broad statement about wanting everyone's vote, I feel a little sick to my stomach. Generally about half the
eligible citizens vote, and as far as I'm concerned, that's far too high. The proportion of uninformed and ill-informed votes in most elections has to
be staggering
Case in point: look at the quality of ads employed by the candidates. They are rife with distortions, catchy jingles, and lofty-sounding but
empty rhetoric. In short, what people end up voting for is the best campaigner, not the most able senator, representative, or president.
I feel that it is not in our best interest to have politicians trying to appeal to everyone, and that is what would happen even more than now
with mandatory voting. Messages would become even more "watered down and vague. I don't want elected officials owing a lot of service to those
who don't care about the system in the first place.
Let's quiz people on the essential principles of government before they are allowed to register. Thomas Jefferson said that democracy
depends on an informed public, and I agree. Let's make every vote an informed vote, and then we'll have a truly representative government.
What is the central idea of the passage?
01. The quality of campaign ads is very poor.
02. Those who vote need to be well informed.
O 3. Voters are easily swayed by vague messages.
04. People deserve a truly representative government.

A Letter from the Atlantic

Dear Hannah,

I’ve never seen so much water before—everywhere I look, all I can see around me is placid blue. I’m grateful for the calm water today because it enables me to ascend to the top level of the SS Frisia and look at the Atlantic Ocean that stretches before us until it meets the horizon. I feel the warm air on my face and smell the salty sea air, but there’s a pit in my stomach when I think about how different life in New York will be.

When we first set sail on August 21st, I watched until Hamburg became a miniscule speck in the distance. When I squinted and couldn’t see the familiar buildings with their smoke spewing into the air anymore, Papa told me to look the other way. “You can’t look back,” he said as he walked me to the other side of the ship, his strong arm supporting my shoulders. “Home is there now.” He pointed to a place that was shimmering waves of blue, and I had a hard time visualizing a home that was 6,000 kilometers of water. He told me to close my eyes and picture the skyline that would soon materialize on the horizon. I couldn’t even fathom 6,000 kilometers of water, just like I couldn’t fathom that our new home wouldn’t be Hamburg anymore.

Most of the days at sea have been turbulent; tall waves reach up from the bottom of the sea and smack into the ship, sending us to the ground whenever we are standing. We are jettisoned from one side of the ship to the other like billiard balls; we emigrants glance off one another before moving in separate directions. It was entertaining at first, but now the ship’s rocking motion makes me feel sick, so I descend back to the bottom level where my family’s room is. Through the tiny oval porthole, I watch as the rough water laps the glass.

We play games and read and sleep to pass the time—sometimes there’s violin music that drifts into our room at night. My brother and I step out into the hallway in our socks and dance to the fast beat together, and it makes the boat’s rocking seem bearable. Most nights, we practice some English words with one another peppered in with the German that I will soon use less and less. “I am from Germany,” I practice over and over again, elongating my mouth around vowels that are pronounced differently in English than in German. I still think in German, dream in German, feel German words fly off my tongue with a comfort and speed that I worry I’ll never feel when I speak English. What will happen to me if the English all around me displaces the German of my youth?

There are people on this ship from everywhere: The Kowalski family in the room next to ours is from Poland, while the Ivanov family on the other side is from Russia. We practice basic English with one another: “Good morning. How are you?” Behind the closed doors of strangers’ rooms, I hear unfamiliar consonant sounds making up the lyrics to lilting songs. I can only imagine that these melodies are about feeling adrift; though we come from different places, nostalgia and homesickness know no borders or boundaries.

When I write these letters to you, I wonder where you are and what you are doing. Are you still walking along the canals of the Speicherstadt the way we used to after school? Do you still hear the bells of St. Michael’s Church resounding through the air? Does the bakery on the corner still serve our favorite Brötchen when it comes right out of the oven?

I miss you more than I can say in this letter. Say hello to everyone for me and tell them that my family is doing well. By the time I get on land to mail this letter, I will be at Ellis Island!

Love,

Liesl

Read this passage from Liesl's brother's diary.

I draw pictures of New York in my diary every night. Every time I think about New York, my legs jitter with excitement. Everything will be so new and different! I practice English with everyone I know, even with my family who still wants to speak to me in German. I'm starting to think in English and can't wait until English is all I speak. People walk around here like they are sad, but I couldn't be happier. I think I've already forgotten my life in Hamburg. Ellis Island, here we come!

In the fourth paragraph of "A Letter from the Atlantic," Liesl wonders what will happen "if the English all around [her] displaces the German of [her] youth."

How does Liesl's viewpoint conflict with that of her brother?


Liesl fears she will not speak English well, while her brother is confident in his English skills.

Liesl worries about losing ties to her home culture, while her brother looks forward to joining a new culture.

Liesl plans to remain proficient in German, while her brother plans to embrace English.

Liesl is certain she will be able to embrace two cultures, while her brother thinks he must choose one.

Read the following excerpt from Passage 1. 1 Annie found the whirr and sway of the vacuum cleaner over the thick, faded blue carpet comforting as she recalled this morning’s events. She didn’t mind cleaning, generally, but today she felt even more driven to scrub, sweep, and vacuum away the cloud of hurt feelings that seemed to have engulfed her. Her two older sisters Sadie and Rebecca, had barely helped clear the breakfast dishes before scrambling to get out the front door and taking off for the beach in Sadie’s car. 2 Annie understood why her older sisters left to hang out with kids their own age, singing along to the radio as they pulled out of the driveway, but it still stung a little. Today, though, Annie was especially frustrated because it was the first Saturday of the summer—the day they typically spent with Mom to celebrate another year of her teaching. What’s more, yesterday marked the end of Mom’s twentieth year as a teacher. While Annie had looked forward to celebrating together, Sadie and Rebecca had rushed off with their friends, but not before presenting gifts that made Annie’s seem childish. How does the author’s choice to show Annie’s point of view affect the meaning of the excerpt? Select two options. by elaborating on why Annie dislikes the gift she chose by illustrating how inferior Annie feels to her two sisters by exhibiting how Annie did not plan ahead as her sisters had done by presenting Annie’s bitterness over how this day is being recognized by commenting on why Annie chose to clean the house instead of buying a gift
