Read this excerpt from “President Ronald Reagan's Address to the Nation” following the explosion of the Challenger space shuttle. I've always had great faith in and respect for our space program, and what happened today does nothing to diminish it. We don't hide our space program. We don't keep secrets and cover things up. We do it all up front and in public. That's the way freedom is, and we wouldn't change it for a minute. We'll continue our quest in space. There will be more shuttle flights and more shuttle crews and, yes, more volunteers, more civilians, more teachers in space. Nothing ends here; our hopes and our journeys continue. I want to add that I wish I could talk to every man and woman who works for NASA or who worked on this mission and tell them: “Your dedication and professionalism have moved and impressed us for decades. And we know of your anguish. We share it.” There's a coincidence today. On this day 390 years ago, the great explorer Sir Francis Drake died aboard a ship off the coast of Panama. In his lifetime the great frontiers were the oceans, and an historian later said, “He lived by the sea, died on it, and was buried in it.” Well, today we can say of the Challenger crew: Their dedication was, like Drake's, complete. Which line from the excerpt is an example of evidence in a persuasive speech? Your dedication and professionalism have moved and impressed us for decades. On this day 390 years ago, the great explorer Sir Francis Drake died aboard a ship off the coast of Panama. Well, today we can say of the Challenger crew: Their dedication was, like Drake's, complete. I've always had great faith in and respect for our space program, and what happened today does nothing to diminish it.

Poetry Means The World To Me What is effect of repeating "used" in line 15? Poetry means the world to me
it’s how I laugh and sing
how I cry and ask why

like a statue
They should be

[15]used used used
to say what you like
or don’t like
what you see think
or feel —

hate and unnecessary
suffering

Poetry is what I use
to say
[25]I love you

"Grandpa, don't die!" Emma Abrams choked with deep conviction. "You mean everything to me. I can't live without you!" This was the part of the script where Emma was supposed to burst into real tears, yet her big blue eyes were like a desert. Emma tried to think of something despairing, like the time her toddling brother sliced his finger on a piece of broken glass while she was watching him, or the devastation she felt when learning that her cat had run away. These sad reflections did nothing to moisten her eyes. "Well, don't panic, Emma," she coached herself. "When it counts in the audition today, you'll cry real tears. You've just got to!"

2

It was difficult to study the script in the car with all of the bumps, turns, and sudden stops typical of trips into New York City, but Emma was determined to make sure that she had each line memorized word for word. She had studied every line nonstop since her agent had called with the good news. It was her first Broadway audition and her entire family had helped her to prepare. Her older sister helped her choreograph a dance, her father improvised with her by playing the part of Grandpa at the dinner table, and her little brother listened to her read her lines. No one was more constant in helping Emma realize her thespian ambitions than her mother, though. Mom was the one who accompanied Emma to her piano, voice, dance, and drama lessons each weekday after school. She went to every audition and performance with Emma, and Emma wished with all her heart that Mom was here with her now.

3

Emma appreciated her mother's constant companionship and support of her acting career. Her mother was always present backstage at the Dutch Apple Dinner Theater where Emma was currently starring in Annie on Friday and Saturday nights. Mom was the driving force behind her daughter's acting career, but she refused to drive in New York City. The big city frightened Mrs. Abrams and made her jittery. Since she was already nervous about Emma's big audition, Mrs. Abrams thought it best if she just stayed home. Emma tried to behave like a grown-up when her mother told her she wouldn't be going, but inside Emma felt panicky and alone.

4

Emma's father continued to navigate through the heavy traffic streaming into the city. As the skyline of New York City came into view, Emma started to cry. She knew she should have begged her mother to come with her but now it was too late! Her father looked into the rearview mirror and said, "Wow, honey! If you can do that during the audition, you're a shoo-in." He was genuinely impressed and didn't realize that her tears were real. Emma stared out the window, feeling sorry for herself.

5

Emma watched her dad hand his car keys to the parking attendant. They walked in silence for several blocks, with Emma holding her father's arm. She wanted to ask her father to come in to the audition with her, but she knew he'd be uncomfortable around a bunch of stage mothers. Emma soon found herself being escorted into a crowded lobby. She waved good-bye to her father and disappeared inside the theater.

6

When she emerged from the audition several hours later, Emma was exhausted but triumphant. "I don't ever want Mom to come to an audition where I have to cry again!" she declared as they left the theater together.

7

Knowing his daughter's flair for the dramatic, Mr. Abrams quickly said, "Now don't be angry with your mother because she couldn't come today, Emma. That's not fair."

8

Emma realized her father misunderstood her, so she explained that when she'd cried in the car earlier, it wasn't an act; she was genuinely upset that her mother wasn't with her. "When I went into the audition, all the other girls' mothers were there, but I was all alone. I was terrified without Mom there, so when they called on me to read my lines, I was on the verge of tears anyway. I just thought about how alone I felt without Mom there, and the tears came pouring down. It was perfect timing, and I think I just might get the part! Mom is the secret to my success." She bowed and curtsied to an imaginary audience, saying "Thank you, Thank you."

9

Mr. Abrams smiled and said, "I'm not sure, but I think that just this once, your mother will be extremely happy to hear that she made you cry."



How does the resolution of the story develop the theme?

A. Emma was able to make herself cry with hard work and dedication.

B. Emma finally realized she did not need anyone else to be successful.

C. Emma concluded that her father was just as supportive as her mother.

D. Emma understood that it was not right for her to be angry with her mother.

Answer NOW!
The day had been one of those unbearable ones, when every sound had set her teeth on edge like chalk creaking on a blackboard, when every word her father or mother said to her or did not say to her seemed an intentional injustice. And of course it would happen, as the end to such a day, that just as the sun went down the back of the mountain and the long twilight began, she noticed that Rollie was not around.



Tense with exasperation—she would simply explode if Mother got going—she began to call him in a carefully casual tone: "Here, Rollie! He-re, boy! Want to go for a walk, Rollie?" Whistling to him cheerfully, her heart full of wrath at the way the world treated her, she made the rounds of his haunts; the corner of the woodshed, where he liked to curl up on the wool of Father's discarded old windbreaker; the hay barn, the cow barn, the sunny spot on the side porch—no Rollie.



Perhaps he had sneaked upstairs to lie on her bed where he was not supposed to go—not that she would have minded! That rule was a part of Mother's fussiness, part too of Mother's bossiness. It was her bed, wasn't it? But was she allowed the say-so about it? Not on your life. They told her she could have things the way she wanted in her own room, now she was in her teens, but—her heart raged against the unfairness as she took the stairs stormily, two steps at a time, her pigtails flopping up and down on her back. If Rollie was on her bed, she was just going to let him stay right there, and Mother could shake her head and mumble all she wanted to. But he was not there. The bedspread and pillow were crumpled, but not from his weight.



Earlier that afternoon, she had flung herself down to cry there. And then she couldn't. Every nerve in her had been twanging, but she couldn't cry. She could only lie there, her hands doubled up hard, furious that she had nothing to cry about. Not really. She was too big to cry just over Father's having said to her severely, "I told you if I let you take the chess set you were to put it away when you got through with it. One of the pawns was on the floor of our bedroom this morning. I stepped on it. If I'd had my shoes on, I'd have broken it."



Well, he had told her to be sure to put them away. And although she had forgotten and left them, he hadn't forbidden her ever to take the set again. No, the instant she thought about that, she knew she couldn't cry about it. She could be, and she was, in a rage about the way Father kept on talking, long after she'd got his point, "It's not that I care so much about the chess set," he said, just leaning with all his weight on being right, "it's because if you don't learn how to take care of things, you yourself will suffer for it later . . . . If we . . ." on and on, preaching and preaching.
