Analyze the meaning of this excerpt from a poem by William Stafford:

“And some books ought to burn, trying for character, but just faking it. More disturbing than book ashes are whole libraries that no one got around to writing.
Desolate Towns, miles of unthought in cities, and the terrorized countryside where wild dogs own anything that moves. If a book isn’t written- no one needs to burn it. Ignorance can dance in the absence of fire.”

WILL SUM1 PLS ANSWER THIS QUESTION I HAVE LIKE 2 MINSSS
from President John F. Kennedy's Inaugural Address, 1961

…In your hands, my fellow citizens, more than in mine, will rest the final success or failure of our course. Since this country was founded, each generation of Americans has been summoned to give testimony to its national loyalty. The graves of young Americans who answered the call to service surround the globe.

Now the trumpet summons us again—not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need; not as a call to battle, though embattled we are—but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in and year out, "rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation"—a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease, and war itself.

Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance, North and South, East and West, that can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind? Will you join in that historic effort?

In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility—I welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it—and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.

And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.

My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.

Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own.

Consider this sentence from the text:

The graves of young Americans who answered the call to service surround the globe.

What figure of speech is Kennedy using in this sentence, and what does he want to make his listeners feel?

He is using irony to suggest sympathy for Americans who have died in battle over the years.
He is using hyperbole to make listeners feel inspired by the sacrifices of those who have gone before them.
He is using personification to compare live Americans with those who have died fighting for their country.
He is using simile to compare audience members with Americans who have fought and died for their country.

In the story, what causes the conflict between the narrator and the old man?

According to neighborhood legend, what terrible things did Boo and his gang do?
What did they do one night to get in trouble with the law?

Science Mysteries: Why Do People Yawn?

Science has given humans many amazing devices and useful bits of knowledge. We know so much about our bodies and how to stay healthy, for example. We also know how to make machines and devices that make life easy for us. Scientists dedicate their lives to knowledge, but even with a lifetime commitment, sometimes scientists fail to find all the answers. One mystery that still remains unsolved is why we yawn—what makes us yawn and what purpose it serves.

Recent studies suggest that we yawn when we get tired as a way to encourage our brains. The theory is that yawning helps cool the brain, allowing it to work more efficiently. According to WebMD's article about these studies, when you yawn, your jaw muscles get stretched, increasing blood flow to your neck, face, and head. Also a deep breath during the yawn forces spinal fluid and blood down from the brain. The cool air then cools down these fluids.

Other scientists believe, however, that yawning is a form of communication. This theory attempts to explain why yawning seems to spread from person to person. This kind of behavior is called "contagious yawning" and carries with it a possible social message. Scientists are not yet sure what exactly the message is, but they believe people who have more social empathy are more likely to start yawning when they see someone else yawning.

Scientists will continue to investigate the mystery of the yawn. Is it a leftover behavior from before humans had language? Was it a "Hey, I'm sleepy. Let's go to sleep" message? Or is it really just a way to keep our brains cool? While this behavior still is largely a mystery, one thing is certain: you are probably fighting the urge to yawn right about now.

Which word from the text best describes scientists' understanding of the yawn?
a. Mystery
b. Breath
c. Language
d. Message

All over the world, animal habitats bump up against human development. Where these two worlds collide, animals almost never fare well. Highways, where humans speed by large tracts of natural habitat like missiles of doom, are especially dangerous for wild creatures. They can also be deadly, not just for individual animals but for entire species. The Florida panther, for example, has such a low population that each time one is killed on a highway, it is a catastrophic loss.

There is hope, however, in a new way of helping animals cross through highway areas unharmed. Wildlife overpasses give animals a way to cross highways without risking their lives. These look and work like bridges but are usually covered with grass and trees that make animals like deer feel welcome. The cars drive through a tunnel under the bridges. Fences along the top edges keep the animals safe.

These overpasses also connect habitats, so along with deer, the coyotes who hunt them can cross. This allows both species to have a larger range, which also helps their long-term survival. To the animals in these habitats, the overpasses may be like an extra safety net that helps them survive a drought. The bridges are especially important for animals that migrate. For centuries, animals like elk and buffalo migrated on trails that still, now, lead right up to the edges of major highways. With the help of these bridges, migrating animals can still follow their long-used paths unharmed.

In some cases, these overpasses benefit humans directly as well. In these cases, the overpasses are part of a green space or park that people use for cycling, backpacking, or jogging. The overpasses give humans access to areas they may not have been able to see but also provide safety for animals.

The next time you are traveling on a highway, keep a lookout for a wildlife passage. With attention to how our lives affect the natural world, we can find clever solutions, like wildlife passages, that help animals and improve our lives, too.

Extra! Extra!
Not all wildlife accommodations for highways are overpasses. In some cases, certain species are so important that underpasses or underground tunnels are built. In Florida, two such underpasses help turtles, snakes, and alligators that often migrate from one body of water to another. Since these creatures do not have much speed, crossing a highway for them is even more deadly than it is for swift animals like deer. Working like a large funnel, these underpasses usually require a barricade or fence alongside the highway that forces animals toward a tunnel. Aquatic turtles especially benefit from these tunnels as they lay eggs in holes dug in dry ground, away from the lake they live in.

Geckos are small to average-sized lizards which are found in warm climates all over the world. They are unique among lizards because of the way they sound. They make chirping sounds to communicate with other geckos. The name gecko comes from the Indonesian word gekok which imitates the sound of their chirps. Many species of gecko have special toe pads which enable them to climb smooth surfaces easily, even indoor ceilings. In some parts of the world, geckos are commonly allowed to live indoors because they eat insects and other pests. There are 1,196 different species of geckos! Here are just a few: Leopard gecko: Leopard geckos are commonly kept as pets. Unlike most geckos, they have claws rather than tow pads and cannot climb the grass of their terrariums. Ptychozoon: Native to southeast Asia, these tree-dwellers are known as Flying or Parachute geckos. They have wing-like flaps from their neck to upper legs which help them provide lift when jumping. Crocodile gecko: Known as crocodile geckos because of their spiky skin, these geckos are heavy and large (up to 6 inches long). They are found in Mediterranean regions. Top right, This Gold-Dust Day gecko is just one of the 1,196 species of gecko.

In what type of text might you find this box feature?
a.
A novel about a talking gecko
c.
A textbook about reptiles
b.
A newspaper article about an infestation of geckos
d.
A magazine article about a car insurance company

Researchers Charles Buffum and Craig Harger say that the destruction of the USS Revenge changed the course of
history. After the ship sank, the Navy demoted Oliver Perry, the ship's commander. Because of this demotion,
Perry was denied another high seas command. Instead, he was assigned to the Great Lakes during the War of
1812. Perry assembled and commanded a small American naval force. In the 1813 Battle of Lake Erie, with two
battleships and 500 men, he defeated the British and retained control of the Great Lakes. After the battle, Perry
was promoted to captain and awarded a medal by Congress. Buffum and Harger assert that ultimately the
shipwreck of the USS Revenge played a direct role in shaping U.S. history and Perry's career.
