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.

Maes Howe: A Twofold Treasure
"Maes Howe, a chambered tomb located in Scotland's Orkney Islands, is older than the pyramids. Built from
enormous stones, the tomb has one long, narrow entrance with a ceiling so low that visitors must hunch over as
they pass through it. The entrance faces toward the winter sun's location at sunset around the shortest day of the
year.Ancient rituals were performed there. Long after it was abandoned by its builders, Vikings broke into Maes
Howe and left runes carved in its walls. The collection of runes—Viking graffiti-shares sentiments familiar in any
time: "Ingigerth is the most beautiful of women"; "Haermund Hardaxe carved these runes." What looks from the
outside to be simply a round, grassy hill on a small, wind-swept island represents an amazing historical find for
two different eras.
Explain why the following inference is true or false.
"The builders of Maes Howe considered the winter sun important."

Read the excerpt from "A Case for Restricting Hate Speech," by Laura Beth Nielsen. These negative physical and mental health outcomes—which embody the historical roots of race and gender oppression—mean that hate speech is not "just speech." Hate speech is doing something. It results in tangible harms that are serious in and of themselves and that collectively amount to the harm of subordination. The harm of perpetuating discrimination. The harm of creating inequality. What is the purpose of Nielsen’s repetition of the word harm? to emphasize the very real damage hate speech inflicts to show how many people repeatedly use hate speech against others to detail the negative physical health outcomes that arise from hate speech to demonstrate that inequality hurts those suffering from gender and race oppression
