LUCK by Mark Twain GIST statement for paragraphs 11-14
HELP PLEASE

The Crimean war had just broken out. Of course there had to be a war, I said to myself: we couldn’t have peace and give this donkey a chance to die before he is found out. I waited for the earthquake. It came. And it made me reel when it did come. He was actually gazetted to a captaincy in a marching regiment! Better men grow old and gray in the service before they climb to a sublimity like that. And who could ever have foreseen that they would go and put such a load of responsibility on such green and inadequate shoulders? I could just barely have stood it if they had made him a cornet; but a captain—think of it! I thought my hair would turn white.

Consider what I did—I who so loved repose and inaction. I said to myself, I am responsible to the country for this, and I must go along with him and protect the country against him as far as I can. So I took my poor little capital that I had saved up through years of work and grinding economy, and went with a sigh and bought a cornetcy in his regiment, and away we went to the field.

And there—oh dear, it was awful. Blunders? why, he never did anything but blunder. But, you see, nobody was in the fellow’s secret—everybody had him focused wrong, and necessarily misinterpreted his performance every time—consequently they took his idiotic blunders for inspirations of genius; they did honestly! His mildest blunders were enough to make a man in his right mind cry; and they did make me cry—and rage and rave too, privately. And the thing that kept me always in a sweat of apprehension was the fact that every fresh blunder he made increased the lustre of his reputation! I kept saying to myself, he’ll get so high that when discovery does finally come it will be like the sun falling out of the sky.

He went right along up, from grade to grade, over the dead bodies of his superiors, until at last, in the hottest moment of the battle of.... down went our colonel, and my heart jumped into my mouth, for Scoresby was next in rank! Now for it, said I; we’ll all land in Sheol in ten minutes, sure.

Hello. You forgot to ask the question to which this text refers. The question is:

4. In the passage, the Reverend takes two actions that, more than any others, propel the plot forward in an unexpected way. Which of these quotations present Reverend's justification for joining the regiment Scoresby leads?

Answer:

“I am responsible to the country for this, and I must go along with him and protect the country against him”

Explanation:

The reverend decides to participate in the war and join the regiment because he recognizes that it is his duty, as a citizen, to help the nation win. Even though his religious beliefs do not support the stimulation of war, as it promotes chaos, pain and destruction and encourages disunity among the children of God, he accepts his responsibility as a man who needs to promote the integrity and respect of his country, because he is committed to his nation.

The Whippoorwill

by Madison Julius Cawein


I.


Above lone woodland ways that led

To dells the stealthy twilights tread

The west was hot geranium red;

And still, and still,

Along old lanes the locusts sow

With clustered pearls the Maytimes know,

Deep in the crimson afterglow,

We heard the homeward cattle low,

And then the far-off, far-off woe

Of "whippoorwill!" of "whippoorwill!"


II.


Beneath the idle beechen boughs

We heard the far bells of the cows

Come slowly jangling towards the house;

And still, and still,

Beyond the light that would not die

Out of the scarlet-haunted sky;

Beyond the evening-star's white eye

Of glittering chalcedony,

Drained out of dusk the plaintive cry

Of "whippoorwill," of "whippoorwill."


III.


And in the city oft, when swims

The pale moon o'er the smoke that dims

Its disc, I dream of wildwood limbs;

And still, and still,

I seem to hear, where shadows grope

Mid ferns and flowers that dewdrops rope,

Lost in faint deeps of heliotrope

Above the clover-sweetened slope,

Retreat, despairing, past all hope,

The whippoorwill, the whippoorwill.


Whippoorwill - a nocturnal bird with a distinctive call that is suggestive of its name

In "The Whippoorwill," what is the speaker's viewpoint of the whippoorwill’s call?

It makes him wish that more birds lived near him.

He finds it annoying and disruptive to the calm.

It makes him feel sad that the day is coming to an end.

It is beautiful, and he wishes he could hear it more.

Screen time can have positive effects and can be used for learning, but it can also be negative and toxic to teens. At home, teens use screen time to connect with others, watch videos, and play games, but also to engage in social media banter and sharing. At school, students may watch educational videos that connect to a lesson.

Either way, teens are getting more screen time than ever before. Both parents and teachers need to set limits. Just because the technology is available does not mean it is always helpful, experts say.

Which detail best supports the argument that screen time can be beneficial at school?

“At home, teens use screen time to connect with others, watch videos, and play games, but also to engage in social media banter and sharing.”
“At school, students may watch educational videos that connect to a lesson.”
“Either way, teens are getting more screen time than ever before.”
“Just because the technology is available does not mean it is always helpful, experts say.”
