The Beggar and the King
by Winthrop Parkhurst
[A chamber in the palace overlooks a courtyard. The season is midsummer. The windows of the palace are open, and from a distance there comes the sound of a man's voice crying for bread.]
[THE KING sits in a golden chair. A golden crown is on his head, and he holds in his hand a sceptre which is also of gold. A SERVANT stands by his side, fanning him with an enormous fan of peacock feathers.]
THE BEGGAR: (outside) Bread. Bread. Bread. Give me some bread.
THE KING: (languidly) Who is that crying in the street for bread?
THE SERVANT: (fanning) O king, it is a beggar.
THE KING: Why does he cry for bread?
THE SERVANT: O king, he cries for bread in order that he may fill his belly.
THE KING: I do not like the sound of his voice. It annoys me very much. Send him away.
THE SERVANT: (bowing) O king, he has been sent away.
THE KING: If that is so, then why do I hear his voice?
THE SERVANT: O king, he has been sent away many times, yet each time that he is sent away he returns again, crying louder than he did before.
THE KING: He is very unwise to annoy me on such a warm day. He must be punished for his impudence. Use the lash on him.
THE SERVANT: O king, it has been done.
THE KING: Then bring out the spears.
THE SERVANT: O king, the guards have already bloodied their swords many times driving him away from the palace gates. But it is of no avail.
THE KING: Then bind him and gag him if necessary. If need be cut out his tongue. I do not like the sound of the fellow's voice. It annoys me very much.
THE SERVANT: O king, thy orders were obeyed even yesterday.
THE KING: (frowning) No. That cannot be. A beggar cannot cry for bread who has no tongue.
THE SERVANT: Behold he can—if he has grown another.
THE KING: What! Why, men are not given more than one tongue in a lifetime. To have more than one tongue is treason.
THE SERVANT: If it is treason to have more than one tongue, O king, then is this beggar surely guilty of treason?
THE KING: (pompously) The punishment for treason is death. See to it that the fellow is slain. And do not fan me so languidly. I am very warm.
THE SERVANT: (fanning more rapidly) Behold, O great and illustrious king, all thy commands were obeyed even yesterday.
THE KING: How! Do not jest with thy king.
THE SERVANT: If I jest, then there is truth in a jest. Even yesterday, O king, as I have told thee, the beggar which thou now hearest crying aloud in the street was slain by thy soldiers with a sword.
THE KING: Do ghosts eat bread? Forsooth, men who have been slain with a sword do not go about in the streets crying for a piece of bread.
THE SERVANT: Forsooth, they do if they are fashioned as this beggar.
THE KING: Why, he is but a man. Surely he cannot have more than one life in a lifetime.
THE SERVANT: Listen to a tale, O king, which happened yesterday.
THE KING: I am listening.
THE SERVANT: Thy soldiers smote this beggar for crying aloud in the streets for bread, but his wounds are already healed. They cut out his tongue, but he immediately grew another. They slew him, yet he is now alive.
THE KING: Ah! That is a tale which I cannot understand at all.
In The Beggar and the King, what do the servant's responses to the king reveal about the servant?
He believes that the king is unfit to rule.
He is baffled by the beggar's return.
He is protective of the king's feelings.
He feels badly for the beggar's fate.

Read the scenario below, evaluate the source, and answer the question that follows. Imagine that your teacher gives you the following writing prompt: "Write a persuasive essay articulating your position on the cloning of humans. Use specific examples and details to support your views." After brainstorming, imagine that you choose to address the topic of human cloning by focusing on genetic enhancements, which result from using science to alter the physical and mental characteristics of humans. After some initial research, you formulate the following research question: "Do the benefits of genetic enhancements outweigh the possible negative consequences of this technology?" This is the cover of a potential source: / Here is its table of contents: / Based on the title and table of contents of the source, is the topic relevant to the research question? No, it does not discuss genetic enhancements. No, the author is not qualified to discuss the topics in the book. Yes, the book is by an author who has written about cloning before. Yes, it addresses the topic of genetic enhancements.
Answer:
Explanation:
Twenty years ago this week, at the age of six months, Dolly the cloned sheep was unveiled to the world amid much controversy. Newspapers proclaimed the scientific community was "in an uproar"; others said the creation was "anticipated and dreaded" and the announcement prompted inevitable claims of human cloning being close to reality.
However, more than two decades since the sheep's "birth", full human clones are non-existent and cloning technology has remained, mostly, contained to scientific laboratories.
"When Dolly was announced, the media picked up on the fact we now have a clone and brought up science fiction-type scenarios, but the biology was really stunning," Lawrence Brody, from the National Human Genome Research Institute told WIRED. "The folks in Scotland had essentially figured out a way to reprogram the genome so it can make a whole organism, and renewed a very intense investigation into this area."
So where is the technology now, and, more importantly, where does it goes next?

What is cloning?
"The term cloning describes a number of different processes that can be used to produce genetically identical copies of a biological entity," explains the National Human Genome research group's website. At its simplest, cloning works by taking a genetic part of an organism and recreating it in another place.
Dolly was cloned using a process known as somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) which takes a somatic cell, such as a skin cell, and transfers its DNA to an egg cell with its nucleus removed. In the process, the DNA can be transferred by injection or through a process using electric currents.
Although revolutionary at the time, this method has since been largely superseded by the introduction of Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) , announced more than a decade ago. iPSCs are skin or blood cells that have been reprogrammed back into an embryonic-like pluripotent state, letting researchers develop them into any type of cell needed. For example, iPSCs can be used to treat diabetes, or iPSC blood cells can be used to create new blood free of cancer cells for a leukemia patient.
In 2006, Shinya Yamanaka, who is now a Nobel Prize winner, showed how mature cells in mice could be reprogrammed to become immature stem cells. A year later, research led by Drs. Kathrin Plath, William Lowry, Amander Clark, and April Pyle were among the first to create human iPSC.
"iPSCs have the potential to become multipurpose research and clinical tools to understand and model diseases, develop and screen candidate drugs, and deliver cell-replacement therapy to support regenerative medicine," researcher Charles Goldthwaite wrote about the potential of the method. iPSC stem cells can additionally be cre

I think you should add something that would be kinda funny like a dog trainer is scared of a dog, that is irony
The phrase that would add verbal irony to the paragraph is "aren't sufficiently brief".
What is verbal irony?Verbal irony is defined as a statement in which the speaker's words contradict the speaker's intent.
The speaker says one thing but means another, creating an ironic conflict between their intended meaning and their literal words.
A figure of speech in which words are used in such a way that their intended meaning differs from their literal meaning is known as verbal irony.
In this case, including the phrase "aren't sufficiently brief" would result in verbal irony because Jamile's summaries are so detailed that they are actually too long, despite his intention to keep them brief.
The phrase would be diametrically opposed to what is expected or reality, producing a humorous or sarcastic effect.
Thus, the answer is "aren't sufficiently brief".

Explanation:
Gale and Katniss have very different opinions when it comes to the plan and each puts up a good argument as to whether or not the people should be given the chance to surrender. Whose side do you agree with and why?
Answer:
The capitol wouldn't let them surrender, the point of the game is death, and fighting because the people "betrayed'' the capitol.
"surrendering" would just result in the capitol causing a gory, painful death.
The above question requires a personal answer, based on your interpretation of the story. For that reason, I can't answer the question for you, but I'll show you how to answer it.
Who are Gale and Katniss?They are young people forced to participate in the hunger games.They are victims of the oppression of the capital.They are people willing to rebel against the oppressive system in which they live.Although they both have promising plans, Katniss is shown to be more empathetic, she believes that civilians should not be sacrificed and all people deserve mercy when they surrender. Gale, on the other hand, doesn't believe this is correct. For him, those who stand against his ideals are enemies and should be treated as such, even amid redemption.
In this case, to answer your question, you must reflect on the positioning of the two and decide which one is closer to what you think is correct.

Read the excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone by James Cross Giblin.
The middle hieroglyph was unknown to him, but he guessed that the two at the left symbolized the sun.
From his studies of Coptic, Champollion knew that the Egyptian word for "sun" was pronounced rah. He wrote down the first two letters of that sound, RA. Next he put a question mark for the unknown middle hieroglyph. Then, at the end, he wrote SS, the sound of the last two hieroglyphs.
He studied the combination: RA ? SS. Suddenly he remembered a famous pharaoh whose name appeared in ancient Greek chronicles and also in the Biblical Book of Exodus: Rameses, or Ramesses. Could this be a hieroglyphic representation of Ramesses' name?
