Excerpt from A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens

“Humbug!” said Scrooge; and walked across the room. After several turns, he sat down again. As he threw his head back in the chair, his glance happened to rest upon a bell, a disused bell, that hung in the room, and communicated for some purpose now forgotten with a chamber in the highest story of the building. It was with great astonishment, and with a strange, inexplicable dread, that as he looked, he saw this bell begin to swing. It swung so softly in the outset that it scarcely made a sound; but soon it rang out loudly, and so did every bell in the house. This might have lasted half a minute, or a minute, but it seemed an hour. The bells ceased as they had begun, together. They were succeeded by a clanking noise, deep down below; as if some person were dragging a heavy chain over the casks in the wine merchant’s cellar. Scrooge then remembered to have heard that ghosts in haunted houses were described as dragging chains. The cellar-door flew open with a booming sound, and then he heard the noise much louder, on the floors below; then coming up the stairs; then coming straight towards his door. “It’s humbug still!” said Scrooge. “I won’t believe it.”

college, or a new job, in a month. Sure, you could sit en
your sofa and play video games for that entire month,

friend's house all month, lounging by the pool, growing
bronzed and bleary. But you could also hit the road. There
are over 4 million miles of road in the United States =
paved and unpaved, straight and winding, through canyons
of orange sandstone and canyons of steel and glass high-
rises, over vast rivers and lakes and sagebrush-studded
desert, from the surfing waves of the Pacific to the
boardwalks of the Atlantic. Go forth, young person! And
bring a friend

I Stayed Home From School Today
I"m staying home from school today
I'd rather be in bed
pretending that I have a pain
that's pounding in my head.
I'll say I have a stomach ache
I'll claim I have the flu
I'll shiver like I'm cold
and hold my breath until I'm blue.
I'll fake a cough. I'll fake a sneeze.
I'll say my throat is sore
If necessary I can throw
a tantrum on the floor
I'm sure I'll get away with it
Of that, there's little doubt
But, even so, I really hope
my students don't find out

Stephon is writing an essay that compares and contrasts the way in which characters from two different texts face obstacles in their lives. The two characters he is comparing and contrasting are Manjiro from Heart of a Samurai and William, the narrator of The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind. One similarity he notes is that Manjiro and William are both courageous. Which quotation from The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind would be most relevant for Stephon to include in his notes to support the idea that William is courageous? The preparation was complete, so I waited. The muscles in my arms still burned from having worked so hard, but now I was finished. They spun slowly at first, then faster and faster, until the force of their motion rocked the tower. My knees buckled, but I held on. I started wasting time in the trading center playing bawo. Someone also taught me a wonderful game called chess, which I started playing every day. No more skipping breakfast; no more dropping out of school. With a windmill, we’d finally release ourselves from the troubles of darkness and hunger
