“You O.K. for a youngster,” the old man said as he tied the strings around his leg, “better than those scalawags what come here looking for my treasure. That’s for sure.”

“You really think that treasure of yours was worth fighting for?” Greg asked. “Against a pipe?”

“What else a man got ’cepting what he can pass on to his son, or his daughter, if she be his oldest?” Lemon Brown said. “For a big-headed boy you sure do ask the foolishest questions.”

We all like judging the covers of books do we not? When was the last time you judged a book, someone or something, by its cover? I know for me it hasn’t been that long ago. But we also like judging pictures too right? Well I bet I can judge a movie clip and a picture and compare the two. I will be comparing a picture of the balcony scene from romeo and juliet and a movie clip of the romeo and juliet balcony scene. I honestly think that the movie clips were more useful

The movie clips that were played out from Shakespeare's script were pretty tremendous I must say. The acting was almost like if the story was not written by Shakespeare and instead was recorded by him. But the picture doesn't have Romeo in it. It also doesn't have words so if someone saw it for the first time not knowing that it was Juliet and the balcony scene then they would not think of it as Juliet in the balcony.

In other words, the video clip gives you more explanation because there is feeling and changed emotion and there are also words that back up those emotions. On the other hand for the picture, there are only lines and curves and it's just a drawing although it does show a romantic feeling we don’t know this for sure but the roses do symbolize Romeo when it comes to the picture.

1 One of the most interesting birds who ever lived in my Bird Room was a blue jay named Jakie. He was full of business from morning till night, scarce­ly ever a moment still.


2 Poor little fellow! He had been stolen from the nest before he could fly, and reared in a house, long before he was given to me. Of course he could not be set free, for he did not know how to take care of himself.


3 Jays are very active birds, and being shut up in a room, my blue jay had to find things to do, to keep him­self busy. If he had been allowed to grow up out of doors, he would have found plenty to do, planting acorns and nuts, nesting, and bring­ing up families.


4 Sometimes the things he did in the house were what we call mischief because they annoy us, such as hammering the woodwork to pieces, tearing bits out of the leaves of books, working holes in chair seats, or pounding a cardboard box to pieces. But how is a poor little bird to know what is mischief?


5 Many things which Jakie did were very funny. For instance, he made it his business to clear up the room. When he had more food than he could eat at the moment, he did not leave it around, but put it away carefully, not in the garbage pail, for that was not in the room, but in some safe nook where it did not offend the eye. Sometimes it was be­hind the tray in his cage, or among the books on the shelf. The places he liked best were about me—in the fold of a ruffle or the loop of a bow on my dress, and sometimes in the side of my slipper. The very choicest place of all was in my loosely bound hair. That of course I could not allow, and I had to keep a very close watch of him for fear I might have a bit of bread or meat thrust among my locks. In his clearing up he always went carefully over the floor, picking up pins or any little thing he could find, and I often dropped burnt match­es, buttons, and other small things to give him something to do. These he would pick up and put nicely away.


6 Pins, Jakie took lengthwise in his beak, and at first I thought he had swallowed them, till I saw him hunt up a proper place to hide them. The place he chose was between the leaves of a book. He would push a pin far in out of sight, and then go after another. A match he always tried to put in a crack, under the baseboard, between the breadths of mat­ting, or under my rockers. He first placed it, and then tried to hammer it out of sight. He could seldom get it in far enough to suit him, and this worried him. Then he would take it out and try another place.


7 Once the blue jay found a good match, of the parlor match variety. He put it between the breadths of matting, and then began to pound on it as usual. Pretty soon he hit the unburnt end and it went off with a loud crack, as parlor matches do. Poor Jakie jumped two feet into the air, nearly frightened out of his wits; and I was frightened, too, for I feared he might set the house on fire.


8 Often when I got up from my chair a shower of the bird’s playthings would fall from his various hiding-places about my dress-nails, matches, shoe-buttons, bread-crumbs, and other things. Then he had to begin his work all over again.


9 Jakie liked a small ball or a marble. His game was to give it a hard peck and see it roll. If it rolled away from him, he ran after it and pecked again; but sometimes it rolled toward him, and then he bounded into the air as if he thought it would bite. And what was funny, he was always offended at this conduct of the ball, and went off sulky for a while.


10 He was a timid little fellow. Wind or storm outside the windows made him wild. He would fly around the room, squawking at the top of his voice; and the horrible tinhorns the boys liked to blow at Thanksgiving and Christmas drove him frantic. Once I brought a Christmas tree into the room to please the birds, and all were delighted with it except my poor little blue jay, who was much afraid of it. Think of the sadness of a bird being afraid of a tree.

And what was funny, he was always offended at this conduct of the ball, and went off sulky for a while."




How does the author's description of the bird as "offended at this conduct of the ball" support her description of the bird in Passage 1 as a whole?



It supports the idea that the bird had some human-like qualities.



It explains how the bird's behavior was typical of birds from the wild.



It reinforces the idea that the bird would have been un able to survive in the wild.



It suggests that the bird was significantly smarter than other birds in the house.

Which two words enhance the setting in this poem? War by Ellen Glasgow Ripples of ribbons borne on high, Bloodstains upon a brazen sky; From cannon belching on the plain, Fire that by fire is fought again. A flash where steel by steel is met; A fume of smoke and blood and sweat. Sharp from the smeared and trodden gorse The death-cry of a wounded horse. Dust of a plain ground into red By armies of majestic dead. Gaunt shadows on the changeless sky, A flock of vultures swarming nigh. Mid ashes where a hearth has stood, Children that cry aloud for food. Where green the peaceful highways run, A woman ravished in the sun. And far across the reeking sod A Nation sounding thanks to God.
