passengers. Reached by steep, slippery stairways, the

smelling compartments. They slept in narrow punks
stacked three high. They had no showers, no lounges,
and no dining rooms. Food served from huge kettles
was dished into dinner pails provided by the steamship
company. Because steerage conditions were crowded
and uncomfortable, passengers spent as much time as
possible up on deck.

Read the passage below. First, identify Pepper's motivation in this passage and explain how his motivation causes conflict for Iggy. Then, explain how Iggy's response to the conflict helps to move the story forward.


Every year, each class at Davis Middle School elects a class representative to participate in important school events. Iggy has been his class rep for the last two years. He takes the responsibility seriously and wants to keep the job, but he also feels guilty no one else has had a chance, so he's pretty sure he won't run again. Then it is announced that the class rep will get to meet action star Bud Delum, and Pepper, the meanest kid in school, suddenly becomes interested in the job. Pepper knows he'd be a terrible representative, but Bud Delum is his hero. And with Iggy stepping down, he'll cruise to victory. Iggy can't stand for a bad representative to take office, so he pushes his guilt aside and reenters the election, winning by a landslide. As his first act as representative, Iggy asks Pepper to take his place at the event with Bud Delum, helping Pepper understand what it means to be kind to others.

Excerpt from Richard Cory Edward Arlington Robinson Whenever Richard Cory went down town, We people on the pavement looked at him: He was a gentleman from sole to crown, Clean favored, and imperially slim. And he was always quietly arrayed, 5 And he was always human when he talked; But still he fluttered pulses when he said, "Good-morning," and he glittered when he walked. And he was rich, -- yes, richer than a king, -- And admirably schooled in every grace: 10 In fine, we thought that he was everything, To make us wish that we were in his place. So on we worked, and waited for the light, And went without the meat, and cursed the bread; And Richard Cory, one calm summer night, 15 Went home and put a bullet through his head.
