With a partner, discuss whether you agree with Torrence’s ideas about scary tales. Cite specific evidence from the text to support your ideas. (Scary Tales Collaborative Discussion) The first correct answer gets brainliest.

Answer:

I do

Explanation:

I do agree with Torrence's view of scary stories. I believe that fear should be exercised. It is a natural feeling, and you sometimes must be hesitant. As the text says " Children need to be frightened. We all do. It's an emotion that was given to all of us and it should be exercised.  When you don't exercise it, you lose your sense of fear. "

( also i don't really think that it is something with a right or wrong answer, just saying)

Read this excerpt from Immigrant Kids, by Russell Freedman. Now the examinations began. First, the immigrants were examined by two doctors of the United States Health Service. One doctor looked for physical and mental abnormalities. When a case aroused suspicion, the immigrant received a chalk mark on the right shoulder for further inspection: L for lameness, H for heart, X for mental defects, and so on. The second doctor watched for contagious and infectious diseases. He looked especially for infections of the scalp and at the eyelids for symptoms of trachoma, a blinding disease. Since trachoma caused more than half of all medical detentions, this doctor was greatly feared. He stood directly in the immigrant's path. With a swift movement, he would grab the immigrant's eyelid, pull it up, and peer beneath it. If all was well, the immigrant was passed on.
Which detail best supports the idea that only immigrants with good health were allowed entrance into the United States?
(a) One doctor drew chalk marks on immigrants with health problems.
(b) The two doctors worked for the United States Health Service.
(c) An H mark on an immigrant meant he or she had heart problems.
(d) Trachoma is a blinding and very contagious eye disease.

Definition:

Fluoride is a mineral that is added to public drinking water supplies in much of the United States in order to reduce levels of tooth decay. When a tooth is forming, fluoride strengthens the enamel, or outside coating of the teeth. The fluoride mixes with the enamel, making it harder. In addition, when fluoride mixes with saliva, it can protect teeth from sugars, further reducing tooth decay. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) states that drinking fluoridated water provides additional protection even for people who simply brush with fluoride toothpaste. Reports on the impacts of fluoridated drinking water have concluded that it reduces tooth decay by about twenty-five percent.

Read the excerpt from the play Apple Picking:

Characters:
- Mischa
- Luke
- Mom
- Dad



Scene One


On an overcast autumn afternoon in the middle of a field with many apple trees. A brother and a sister have a ladder up against an apple tree. One is picking apples and placing them in a sack tied around her waist. The other is holding the ladder steady.


Mischa: (standing on the ladder and looking at an apple) I'm not so sure about these. They have a ton of spots and are not quite ripe.

Luke: That's alright, we're just making a pie for Sunday dinner anyway. No one will see the spots, and we can add sugar to sweeten them up.

Mischa: (Nodding in approval) Yeah, I guess you're right. Mom always likes her pie apples to be a little firm anyways.


Suddenly, the wind begins to blow strongly making the ladder tip back and forth slightly.


Mischa: (With an alarmed look on her face.) What's going on? There isn't supposed to be a storm today! We'll never make it back to our house before it hits!

Luke: (Holding onto the ladder as hard as he can) You need to come down! I can't hold the ladder much longer!

Mischa carefully but swiftly climbs down the ladder while the wind is still blowing. Luke holds on to the ladder as it sways back and forth. Mischa makes it to the bottom. They both look toward dark clouds rolling in quickly with thunder and lightning.


Luke: (Yelling over the storm) We'd better find some shelter! (Pointing toward a rundown old farmhouse.) I think there's an old farm house that way!

Mischa: (Also yelling) You lead the way. I'm too scared!

Luke: (Grabbing her by the hand) It's going to be okay! Run with me!

Both children run to the old farmhouse holding each other's hand. When they make it there, they enter through an open window.



Scene Two


In the kitchen of the old farmhouse. There is an old dusty table and chairs, but everything else including the stove is gone. The windows are broken, the curtains tattered, and the wallpaper peeling. The wind is picking up and blowing through. The children are calming down. Mischa looks out the broken window where a large dead tree sits close to the house, while Luke sits at the old table. The sack of apples sits on the table.


Mischa: It's almost here Luke. The branches on the trees are swaying all over the place.

Luke: (Looking at the old tree through the window) Come away from the window Mischa. It's a really bad storm, that's for sure.

Mischa: (sitting down in the chair opposite Luke.) I think it's a tornado.

Luke: It's not a tornado, but those are some heavy winds.


The wind picks up and the curtains sway violently. Something smacks up against the side of the house.


Luke: What was that? It's picking up.

Mischa: Where are Mom and Dad? Why aren't they here to help us?

Luke: Never mind that. We need to worry about ourselves right now. I think we should go down to the ...


Suddenly, a tree branch hits the window smashing it even more than it was. Luke and Mischa scream.


Mischa: (Yelling) To the basement!


The children run toward the basement when Mischa stops and turns back.


Luke: (Still yelling) What are you doing? Come back!

Mischa: (Still yelling) The apples! I need to grab the apples!

Luke: Mischa no!

Mischa runs to grab the apples. She gets a hold of the sack and turns around toward the basement again. As she gets to the basement door, the old large tree snaps, cracks, and falls through the kitchen wall. She is okay, but shaken.

Read the following excerpt from President Obama's 2009 speech on education, and then write an objective summary of it in the space provided.

Passage: Maybe you could be a great writer, maybe even good enough to write a book or articles in a newspaper — but you might not know it until you write that English class paper assigned to you. Maybe you could be an innovator or an inventor — maybe even good enough to come up with the next iPhone or the new medicine or vaccine — but you might not know it until you do your project for your science class. Maybe you could be a mayor or a senator or a Supreme Court justice — but you might not know that until you join student government or the debate team.And no matter what you want to do with your life, I guarantee that you'll need an education to do it. You want to be a doctor, or a teacher, or a police officer? You want to be a nurse or an architect, a lawyer or a member of our military? You're going to need a good education for every single one of those careers. You cannot drop out of school and just drop into a good job. You've got to train for it and work for it and learn for it.And this isn't just important for your own life and your own future. What you make of your education will decide nothing less than the future of this country. The future of America depends on you. What you're learning in school today will determine whether we as a nation can meet our greatest challenges in the future.
—President Barack Obama, "Remarks by the President in a National Address to America's Schoolchildren"
