I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,
And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,
And a gray mist on the sea’s face and a grey dawn breaking
I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.
I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull’s way and the whale’s way, where the wind’s like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn¹ from a laughing fellow-rover²,
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.

02.02 The Great North American Circus
There was great excitement in Smyrna, especially among the boys. Barlow's Great American Circus in its triumphal progress from state to state was close at hand, and immense yellow posters announcing its arrival were liberally displayed on fences and barns, while smaller bills were put up in the post office, the hotel, and the principal stores, and distributed from house to house.
It was the largest circus that had ever visited Smyrna. At least a dozen elephants marched with ponderous steps in its preliminary procession, while clowns, acrobats, giants, dwarfs, fat women, cannibals, and hairy savages from Tibet and Madagascar were among the strange wonders that were to be seen at each performance for the small sum of fifty cents, children half price.
For weeks the young people had been looking forward to the advent of this marvelous world of curiosities, and the country papers from farther east had given glowing accounts of the great show, which was pronounced greater and more gorgeous than in any previous year. But it may be as well to reproduce, in part, the description given in the posters:
BARLOW'S GREAT NORTH AMERICAN CIRCUS.
Now in its triumphal march across the continent, will
give two grand performances,
AT SMYRNA
on the afternoon and evening of May 18th.
Never in all its history has this
unparalleled show embraced a greater variety of attractions,
or included a larger number of world-famous
acrobats, clowns, bare back riders, rope walkers, trapeze
artists, and star performers,
in addition to a colossal menagerie, comprising
elephants, tigers, lions, leopards,
and other wild animals in great variety.
All this and far more, including a hundred
DARING ACTS,
can be seen for the trifling sum of fifty cents;
children half price.
COME ONE! COME ALL!
Two boys paused to read this notice, pasted with pictures of elephants and circus performers on the high board fence near Stoddard's grocery store. They were Dan Clark and Christopher Watson, called Kit for short.
Answer the following questions.
1>What is the rising action?
2>what is the climax?
3>what is the Resolution of Conflict?
4>what is the Reflection?
Answer:
Rising action: The circus being advertised to be coming to Smyrna.
Climax: The circus comes to town!
Resolution: The boys, Dan Clark and Christopher Watson real the poster.
Select three quotes that support the central idea in Part A.
A)"'Ultimately we hope to have advertisements on every bus to maximize our income,' said Robin Adair, D-38 spokeswoman.” (paragraph 23)
B)“Like Lewis-Palmer most districts that allow advertising on their buses choose to put the money in general funds to help with such things as higher fuel and utility expenses and increased contributions to pension funds and student activities.” (paragraph 24)
C)“'It’s being part of the community, helping out the schools. They need funds. I thought it was neat to use dollars to support the community as well as the community supporting us.'” (paragraph 27)
D)“The districts report that the ads are approved by administrators before they are placed on the buses. There are none inside the buses to entice kids.” (paragraph 28)
E)“Advertisers can choose to run their ads only on certain bus routes to ensure coverage in certain neighborhoods and audiences, said Leigh Howe, of Brilliant Outdoor Media.” (paragraph 33)

Explanation:
Good authors choose their words very carefully. Take a few minutes to write a short paragraph describing an experience you have recently had. Pick a location you went to or an event you attended. Once you have finished, read over what you have written. Now, write a second paragraph. In it, you will repeat the information from the first paragraph, but you will choose your words more carefully. Ask yourself questions like: What words capture this image exactly? What is the best word to convey how something looked, or how I felt? Take more time with the second paragraph. Your response should be at least 150 words in total.

Wild Plum Jelly
Tracy Wilson
1 In the winter of 1976, when I was only four years old, my family moved into a modest home in a growing Greenville neighborhood. Upon a slope on one side of the house, stood a dozen tree sprigs looking rather bald and barren. By springtime, however, the little trees began growing taller and bushier by the day. Upon exploring the hillside in mid-July, I noticed hundreds of quarter-sized, pinkish orbs dangling, daring me to pick just one. Of course, I did.
2Plums? I questioned. Yes, plums. she reiterated. She explained that these were not the same as the deeply colored, voluptuous kind I had seen in the market. These were a smaller and much sourer variety.
3 Knowing that they were safe, I ate enough that one afternoon to give me a stomach ache that lasted two days. As the plums became riper and sweeter, my grandma and I picked enough to fill two enormous buckets. She taught me to make jelly from the tiny fruits which we could enjoy all winter long.
4 Years later, I was driving down a long, winding highway when I noticed several wild plum trees lining the hedgerow. I had to pull over. I picked a heaping handful. As I sat there on the side of the highway, I basked in the tartness of my childhood fruit and in the sweetness of the memory of making jelly with the greatest woman I have ever known.
Read the passage on the left to answer the following questions:
7)
Wild Plum Jelly (Another Point of View)
When Tracy was just a little girl, maybe four years old, she came to visit my home just around the time my wild plum tree was bearing fruit. The plums were pinkish little spheres just begging for Tracy's little hands to pick them. When she grabbed one, I explained to her that the plums were edible and safe, but that they didn't taste like the rich, delicious plums at the grocery store. They were a little sour!
But their sour taste didn't stop little Tracy at all. She ate so many plums that she got a stomach-ache! Mercy! After she got better, I taught Tracy to make wild plum jellies. I hope that one day she can remember the good times we had together when she was young.
What do these two accounts of an early event in Tracy's life have in common?
A) Tracy's story is tinted with a tone of sadness, but the grandmother's story is mostly happy in tone.
B) The grandmother's story mentions that they picked apples instead of plum, but Tracy's story mentions only plums.
C) Tracy's story is a memory of picking plums with her grandmother, and the grandmother's story is a similarly happy memory.
D) The grandmother's story shows that she didn't enjoy picking plums, but Tracy's account shows that she had a really good time.

Passage 2: "Columbus"
Behind him lay the gray Azores,
Behind the Gates of Hercules;
Before him not the ghost of shores;
Before him only shoreless seas.
5 The good mate said: "Now must we pray,
For lo! the very stars are gone.
Brave Adm'r'l, speak; what shall I say?"
"Why, say, 'Sail on! sail on! and on!'" "My men grow mutinous day by day;
10 My men grow ghastly, wan and weak."
The stout mate thought of home; a spray
Of salt wave washed his swarthy cheek.
"What shall I say, brave Adm'r'l, say,
If we sight naught but seas at dawn?"
15 "Why, you shall say at break of day:
'Sail on! sail on! sail on! and on!'"
They sailed and sailed, as winds might blow,
Until at last the blanched mate said:
"Why, now not even God would know
20 Should I and all my men fall dead.
These very winds forget their way,
For God from these dread seas is gone.
Now speak, brave Adm'r'l, speak and say"-
He said: "Sail on! sail on! and on!"
25 They sailed. They sailed. Then spake the mate:
"This mad sea shows his teeth to-night.
He curls his lip, he lies in wait,
He lifts his teeth, as if to bite!
Brave Adm'r'l, say but one good word:
30 What shall we do when hope is gone?"
The words leapt like a leaping sword:
"Sail on! sail on! sail on! and on!"
Then, pale and worn, he kept his deck,
And peered through darkness. Ah, that night
35 Of all dark nights! And then a speck-
A light! A light! At last a light!
It grew, a starlit flag unfurled!
It grew to be Time's burst of dawn.
He gained a world; he gave that world
40 Its grandest lesson: "On! sail on!"

1 The day of Josephine and Cora's campout had finally arrived. The two friends had been planning the campout for more than two weeks. They picked out a spot for the tent in Josephine's backyard. They chose the games they wanted to play. Now they were at the store with Josephine's dad buying camping food. "This campout is going to be perfect," Cora said as she dropped a bag of marshmallows into the cart. "We have the perfect tent, the perfect games, and the perfect food!"
2 Just then a loud clap of thunder sounded outside. The wind whipped as a bright flash filled the dark sky.
3 "But not the perfect weather," Cora moaned.
4 "That was thunder and that means rain. Rain means no camping," Josephine groaned.
5 "I guess we can stop shopping!" Cora snapped. She began taking food out of the cart.
6 As Josephine's father placed the food back in the cart, he told the girls not to give up on their campout. They paid for the food and went back to Josephine's house to wait out the storm.
7 At dinnertime the sky remained dark gray as the rain continued to pour down outside. The girls sat in silence while they ate. Cora looked out the window and said sadly, "I can't believe it's still raining. Our campout was supposed to be perfect."
8 Josephine nodded as she looked from her plate to the window. Josephine's father told the girls that just because something seems impossible doesn't mean it can't happen. He told them to finish eating, go upstairs, and get ready for the campout.
9 They looked out the window and wondered how they could still have a campout. How would they stay dry? How would Josephine's father build a fire with wet wood? It was not possible that they could camp in the backyard. Josephine and Cora gathered their sleeping bags and games anyway. They walked slowly down the stairs.
10 When the girls got to the bottom of the steps, they smiled. Josephine's living room looked like a forest. The chairs and tables were gone, and potted plants took their place. A fire crackled in the fireplace. Strings of tiny lights glittered like fireflies on the walls. Best of all, the tent was set up in the middle of the room. Josephine and Cora were going to camp after all!
11 Josephine and Cora learned that the rain didn't have to spoil their fun. They didn't need to be outside to camp. They didn't need a real campfire to cook hot dogs or marshmallows. Josephine and Cora's indoor campout was perfect because they didn't give up on it.

But what did the passages in Egyptian mean? Did they contain exactly the same message as the Greek passage? The last sentence of the Greek text said, "This decree shall be inscribed on a stela [slab] of hard stone in sacred [hieroglyphic] and native [demotic] and Greek characters," so it seemed clear that the inscription was the same in all three languages. That way, the priests' statement could be read by Egyptians who understood Greek, as well as by those who knew only one or both of the Egyptian languages. But the scholars were still far from being able to decipher either the hieroglyphs or the demotic writing.

The British scholars explained that the inscription was the same.
They deciphered the demotic writing, which told them the inscription was the same.

In paragraph 23 of Selection 1, the author uses the word dissipated to mean
A)vanished.
B)threatened.
C)gathered.
D)enlarged.
(the paragraph)
Sofia felt much obliged for their help. When she turned to leave, she felt as though the shop had become much brighter, as if a dark cloud had suddenly dissipated.
Answer:
Its answer is option A
Vanished
The author uses the term "dissipated" which means vanished. Therefore, option A is correct.
What is the meaning of the word "dissipated"?The word "dissipated" has several meanings, but the most common one is to disperse or scatter in different directions or to disappear gradually over time. It can also mean squandering or wasting something, such as money or energy, by using it in a frivolous or unproductive way.
Additionally, it can refer to a person who behaves recklessly or irresponsibly, such as someone who drinks excessively or engages in other forms of self-destructive behavior.
This sense of "dissipated" is similar to the first, but refers specifically to something gradually disappearing rather than being spread out. The author uses the term "dissipated" which indicates vanished. Therefore, option A is correct.

Through many of the early chapters of Little Women, the March girls make reference to the allegorical Pilgrim’s Progress. Explain how one of the girls, or the family as a whole, relates to the characters and themes in Pilgrim’s Progress. Include details that indicate comparisons that Louisa May Alcott makes between Little Women and Pilgrim’s Progress.
Answer:
This book is prefaced by the novel The Pilgrim's Progress that is a symbol of how to live as a Christian. In this preface it is included the females character of the book, MERCY, no its male character, so it is a sign that this book is a guide for young girls, it is a guide to get the salvation and the self-improvement.
Alcott wants to emphasize that religion is more important that everyday details of life. The four March sisters have to follow saintly feet and have a spiritual journey through their lives, in spite their situation as "little tripping maids".
"Tell them of Mercy; she is one
Who early hath her pilgrimage begun.
Yea, let young damsels learn of her to prize
The world which is to come, and so be wise;
For little tripping maids may follow God
Along the ways which saintly feet have trod."

Read the excerpt from Immigrant Kids, and then answer the question.
But the journey was not yet over. Before they could be admitted to the United States, immigrants had to pass through Ellis Island, which became the nation's chief immigrant processing center in 1892. There they would be questioned and examined. Those who could not pass all the exams would be detained; some would be sent back to Europe. And so their arrival in America was filled with great anxiety. Among the immigrants, Ellis Island was known as "Heartbreak Island."
What best paraphrases the central idea of the excerpt?
Ellis Island was known as “Heartbreak Island” because so many had heart and medical problems while there.
Ellis Island was an important step on the way to American citizenship. Not everyone made it through the examinations.
In 1892, Ellis Island became the nation’s immigrant processing center. Lots of questions and exams were given there.
Immigrants who couldn’t pass examinations felt a lot of anxiety and were sent to live on Ellis Island.

And Greg remembered spending a few afternoons at the skate park perfecting his kick-flips. Now he knew that Mom would say no to spending the weekend at Dawson's for some video game tournaments. Plus, he was sure Dad would add, "Time sure flies when you are having fun, but some fun should be saved until after the hard work gets done."

The theme of the text is that putting tasks off can ultimately cause you to miss out on fun. C. The author's purpose is to inform readers of the reasons for completing homework on time. D.

Answer:
B. The theme of the text is that putting tasks off can ultimately cause you to miss out on fun.

The text states "Now he knew that Mom would say no to spending the weekend at Dawson's for some video game tournaments. Plus, he was sure Dad would add, 'Time sure flies when you are having fun, but some fun should be saved until after the hard work gets done.'" This supports that the theme of the text is that putting tasks off can ultimately cause you to miss out on fun, because now he will miss out on all of that fun because he put fun before work.
