Explanation:

“my mother and grace”

1. "So my mother

is home to her, in a way her own kids

can’t understand." this is my favourite line because to me, it sounds like the mother has a unique ability to connect with her mother and provide her with a sense of home, belonging, and security that her other children are not able to provide.

2. The poem praises the mother's strength and ability to provide comfort while exploring complex family relationships and bonds. This is based on an analysis of the language and themes used in the poem.

3. The poem suggests that home is not necessarily a physical place but a feeling of belonging, security, and connection to others.

4. How does the poem explore the concept of grace and its role in human relationships and interactions?      

“each winter”

1. "To my mother, Ohio will never be home,

no matter how many plants she brings

indoors each winter, singing softly to them"

This line captures the longing and sense of displacement that the speaker's mother feels, despite her efforts to create a sense of home in Ohio by bringing plants indoors and caring for them with tenderness. The line highlights the deep emotional connection between a person and their sense of home, and how that connection cannot always be replicated in a new place.

2. It tells the story of a mother's longing for her South Carolina home and attempts to create a sense of home in Ohio.

3. The poem suggests that home is a place of emotional connection, belonging, and comfort, deeply rooted in one's culture, family, and experiences, and can be created through care and actions.

4. What is the significance of the mother's connection to her home in South Carolina?

“home”

1. "Welcome home, my grandparents say" emphasizes the importance of family and the role of grandparents in creating a sense of home and belonging. The inclusion of the new baby symbolizes the continuity of family and the passing down of traditions and love.

2.  It tells the story of a family returning to their grandparents' home and being welcomed with open arms.

3.  The sensory details of the red stone house, front porch swing, blooming azaleas, and pine trees create a vivid picture of the home, evoking a sense of warmth and familiarity. The line "Welcome home, my grandparents say" highlights the importance of family and the role of grandparents in creating a sense of home and belonging.        

4. What is the importance of the pot of blooming azaleas and the pine tree in creating a sense of home?

“the cousins”

1. My favourite line in the poem "It’s my mother’s birthday and the music is turned up loud" is "You belong here with us." This line captures the sense of belonging and acceptance that the speaker's mother feels with her cousins, and it highlights the importance of family and community in defining one's sense of home.    

2. It tells the story of a woman celebrating her birthday with her cousins, who she used to play with when she was a girl in South Carolina. As they reminisce about their past adventures and dance to music, the woman is transported back to her childhood and feels a sense of belonging and homecoming. The poem explores themes of nostalgia, memory, and the importance of family and community.

3. It's my mother's birthday and the music is turned up loud" suggests that home is a place where one feels a sense of belonging and connection to their family and community. Through the memories shared by her cousins and the joy she experiences while dancing to music from her youth, the speaker's mother is able to reconnect with her roots and feel like her younger self again. The warmth and acceptance of her family members also suggest that home is a place where one feels loved and accepted for who they are.

4. How does the experience of returning to a childhood home differ from visiting a new place?

What information from “The Really Clean Plate Club” would most likely be included in “Gluttons for Punishment”

The Curse of the Bambino

(1) On December 26, 1919, the owner of the Boston Red Sox, Harry Frazee, made a decision that would haunt fans of the club for 86 years. He sold his best player, Babe Ruth, to the New York Yankees. This transaction marked the beginning of the "Curse of the Bambino." The Curse of the Bambino was the belief that, because the Red Sox sold Babe Ruth, they would never win another World Series.
(2) Ruth helped the Red Sox win the World Series in 1915, 1916, and 1918. However, his demands for a higher salary and his poor attitude caused Frazee to look for a chance to trade him. He chose an offer from the Yankees to sell Ruth for cash.
(3) Unfortunately for the Red Sox, Ruth would go on to become the greatest player in the history of the game. After purchasing Ruth, the Yankees would go on to become the most successful baseball club in history. They won their 26th World Series title in 2000.
(4) However, the worst part of the curse was that the Red Sox came very close to winning the championship several times but suffered heartbreaking losses. For Sox fans, seeing their team suffer heartbreaking losses was worse than the fate of teams like the Chicago Cubs, who were usually too bad to even get close.
(5) Finally, in 2004, Red Sox fans were rewarded for their loyalty. The Red Sox were able to defeat their rivals, the Yankees, to advance to the World Series. Then, they easily defeated the St. Louis Cardinals. While Red Sox fans suffered for 86 years, they would say that their victory in 2004 was sweeter because they had longed for it for so many years.

Which of the following sentences would best introduce paragraph 4?
A.
At least the Red Sox were still a good team for many of those years.
B.
Meanwhile, the Red Sox failed to win a single title since the day they sold Ruth.
C.
In addition, Roger Clemens won a Cy Young award for both the Red Sox and the Yankees.
D.
The Yankees and Red Sox now have a historic rivalry.
