"ONE TODAY" BY RICHARD BLANCO
One sun rose on us today, kindled over our shores,
peeking over the Smokies, greeting the faces
of the Great Lakes, spreading a simple truth
across the Great Plains, then charging across the Rockies.
One light, waking up rooftops, under each one, a story
told by our silent gestures moving across windows.
My face, your face, millions of faces in morning's mirrors,
each one yawning to life, crescendoing into our day:
the pencil-yellow school buses, the rhythm of traffic lights,
fruit stands: apples, limes, and oranges arrayed like rainbows
begging our praise. Silver trucks heavy with oil or paper–
bricks or milk, teeming over highways alongside us,
on our way to clean tables, read ledgers, or save lives–
to teach geometry, or ring-up groceries as my mother did
for twenty years, so I could write this poem for all of us today.
All of us as vital as the one light we move through,
the same light on blackboards with lessons for the day:
equations to solve, history to question, or atoms imagined,
the "I have a dream" we all keep dreaming,
or the impossible vocabulary of sorrow that won't explain
the empty desks of twenty children marked absent
today, and forever. Many prayers, but one light
breathing color into stained glass windows,
life into the faces of bronze statues, warmth
onto the steps of our museums and park benches
as mothers watch children slide into the day.
One ground. Our ground, rooting us to every stalk
of corn, every head of wheat sown by sweat
and hands, hands gleaning coal or planting windmills
in deserts and hilltops that keep us warm, hands
digging trenches, routing pipes and cables, hands
as worn as my father's cutting sugarcane
so my brother and I could have books and shoes.
The dust of farms and deserts, cities and plains
mingled by one wind–our breath. Breathe. Hear it
through the day's gorgeous din of honking cabs,
buses launching down avenues, the symphony
of footsteps, guitars, and screeching subways,
the unexpected song bird on your clothes line.
Hear: squeaky playground swings, trains whistling,
or whispers across café tables, Hear: the doors we open
each day for each other, saying: hello, shalom,
buon giorno, howdy, namaste, or buenos días
in the language my mother taught me–in every language
spoken into one wind carrying our lives
without prejudice, as these words break from my lips.
One sky: since the Appalachians and Sierras claimed
their majesty, and the Mississippi and Colorado worked
their way to the sea. Thank the work of our hands:
weaving steel into bridges, finishing one more report
for the boss on time, stitching another wound
or uniform, the first brush stroke on a portrait,
or the last floor on the Freedom Tower
jutting into a sky that yields to our resilience.
One sky, toward which we sometimes lift our eyes
tired from work: some days guessing at the weather
of our lives, some days giving thanks for a love
that loves you back, sometimes praising a mother
who knew how to give, or forgiving a father
who couldn't give what you wanted.
We head home: through the gloss of rain or weight
of snow, or the plum blush of dusk, but always–home,
always under one sky, our sky. And always one moon
like a silent drum tapping on every rooftop
and every window, of one country–all of us–
facing the stars
hope–a new constellation
waiting for us to map it,
waiting for us to name it–together.

Which of the following sentences contains an action verb? My father was late this morning. David bought a new CD. Mrs. Ramirez is my science teacher. The roses smell sweet.
The sentence 'David bought a new CD' contains an action verb ('bought') as it represents an action carried out by the subject, David. Action verbs are essential for indicating the action performed by the subject in a sentence.
The sentence that contains an action verb is: David bought a new CD. The verb 'bought' is an action verb because it represents an action that the subject, David, performed. Action verbs express physical or mental actions that the subject of the sentence carries out.Examples of identifying action verbs:'The cat sounds ready to come back inside' - 'sounds' is a linking verb, not an action verb.'We have not eaten dinner yet' - 'have eaten' is a past participle used with 'have' to form the present perfect tense, which is an action verb phrase.'It took four people to move the broken-down car' - 'took' is an action verb that indicates what 'it' (the situation or effort) did.'We walked from room to room, inspecting for damages' - 'walked' and 'inspecting' are both action verbs showing physical actions.Action verbs are vital components in sentences as they indicate the action done by the subject and can be used with or without a direct object. Direct objects receive the action of transitive action verbs, while intransitive action verbs do not have a direct object.

Which of the following passages contains a good example of sensory imagery? “The distant sound of a church clock is borne faintly on the wind. You question with yourself, half seriously, whether it has stolen to your waking ear from some gray tower, that stood within the precincts of your dream. While yet in suspense, another clock flings its heavy clang over the slumbering town, with so full and distinct a sound, and such a long murmur in the neighboring air, that you are certain it must proceed from the steeple at the nearest corner.” “She seemed to have an idea that if a person wanted brown paper he must be wanting to tie up parcels; which was the last thing I wanted to do; indeed, it is a thing which I have found to be beyond my mental capacity. Hence she dwelt very much on the varying qualities of toughness and endurance in the material. I explained to her that I only wanted to draw pictures on it…” “It shall be my work this evening to prove to you that in thus voting, I not only committed no crime, but, instead, simply exercised my citizen's rights, guaranteed to me and all United States citizens by the National Constitution, beyond the power of any state to deny.” “Its clientele, though fairly large, consists mostly of ‘regulars’ who occupy the same chair every evening and go there for conversation as much as for the beer. If you are asked why you favour a particular public-house, it would seem natural to put the beer first, but the thing that most appeals to me about the ‘Moon Under Water’ is what people call its ‘atmosphere.’

How did your prior knowledge help you better understand "Civil Disobedience"? Give specific examples, and include a quotation from the passage that your pre-reading thought process helped you understand.
Thoreau writes about the justification on revolution. He gives a reference to the early works on this issue which the proves the inefficiency of such acts. Thoreau's argument lies on the the government's acts, not on the majority's. When government is acting unjustly, it has to be fixed, it has to be resisted. This point puts an interesting question even in today's political agenda. How the revolution has to be and why the revolution has to be is simply explained in Thoreau's essay. Thoreau backs up his argument with Mexican-American war. He says, "This people must cease to hold slaves, and to make war on Mexico, though it cost them their existence as a people." and condemns government's acts.
Thoreau was the proponent of Civil Disobedience and this helped him to:
Form his theory about rebellion and civil disobedience to an unjust government.Civil DisobedienceThis refers to the theory which was made by Thoreau where he stated that an unjust government did not deserve the cooperation of the people.
With this, we can see that prior knowledge of this concept helped me to understand that I did not owe allegiance to an unjust government. One example of civil disobedience was shown in his argument about the Mexican-American War and how the people needed to rebel.

In the last line of the poem “On Shakespeare,” what does Milton mean when he writes that kings would "wish to die"?
John Milton praises Shakespeare’s writing style and literary works through the poem “On Shakespeare.” He feels that Shakespeare’s invaluable works have created a place in readers’ hearts, and his fame and glory increase with the rise in the number of his readers. He also states that readers' immense love of Shakespeare's work has made those readers Shakespeare’s monument (“tomb”):
Dost make us Marble with too much conceaving
And so Sepulcher'd in such pomp dost lie,
That Kings for such a Tomb would wish to die.
Milton suggests that even kings would wish for such a monument from their subjects and would rather reside in their hearts than be forgotten. (PLATO)

The Railway Train
Emily Dickinson, 1896
I like to see it lap the miles,
And lick the valleys up,
And stop to feed itself at tanks;
And then, prodigious, step
Around a pile of mountains,
And, supercilious, peer
In shanties by the sides of roads;
And then a quarry pare
To fit its sides, and crawl between,
Complaining all the while
In horrid, hooting stanza;
Then chase itself down hill
And neigh like Boanerges1;
Then, punctual as a star,
Stop—docile and omnipotent—
At its own stable door.
1The name of a thoroughbred race horse famous in North America in the late 19th century
Which of the following best describes the form of Emily Dickinson's "The Railway Train"?
Ballad
Sonnet
Free verse
Haiku
Answer:
Free verse
Explanation:
Free verse is a type of poetry that does not have a regular meter or rhythm. Moreover, this type of poetry does not follow regular rules of poetry, such as a rhyme scheme. This is the type of poetry that Dickinson presents here. However, although she does not use regular meter, she still employs a variety of literary devices that give the text rhythm and cadence.
1. Identify the number of independent and subordinate clauses in the following group of words. Early bicycles had one very large wheel and one very small wheel Early bicycles had onryg whel and one vey smalleel
Both sentences presented contain one independent clause and no subordinate clauses, as each consists of a subject and verb forming a complete thought.
The sentence 'Early bicycles had one very large wheel and one very small wheel' contains one independent clause. This clause has a subject ('Early bicycles') and a verb ('had') and expresses a complete thought, so it can stand alone as a sentence. The sentence 'Early bicycles had only one wheel and one very small wheel', despite the typos, also contains one independent clause with the same subject and verb as the first sentence.
There are no subordinate clauses (or dependent clauses) in either sentence, because each sentence expresses a complete thought and does not include any words that would introduce a subordinate clause, such as 'although', 'because', or 'when'.
The romantic character of the place delighted me; I was very much amused by the air of adventure and intrigue that prevailed in this region of masks and gondolas; and I was exceedingly smitten by a pair of languishing black eyes, that played upon my heart from under an Italian mantle. So I persuaded myself that I was lingering at Venice to study men and manners. At least I persuaded my friends so, and that answered all my purpose. What statement best describes the narrator in this excerpt? The narrator is satisfied with his studies in Venice. The narrator is not entirely truthful about his reasons for staying in Venice. The narrator has established lasting friendships during his stay in Venice. The narrator is unfamiliar with the Italian culture in Venice.
Answer:
The narrator is not entirely truthful about his reasons for staying in Venice.
Explanation:
The narrator speaks, at the beginning of the excerpt that they are delighted with Venice and with a girl with a pair of black eyes that is playing with his heart. These are the real reasons for the narrator this in Venice.
And we know this, because shortly afterwards he says, "Then I became convinced that I was delaying in Venice to study men and manners." When we need to convince ourselves something is because our thoughts are elsewhere, that is, the author had to convince himself that he was in Venice to study, when in fact he was because that place, and a person, charmed him.

Describe an important piece of the backstory from your novel or short story.
Provide a quotation from the text to support your answer.
The story I read was "To Build a Fire," by Jack London.
The circumstances just preceding the "narrative" and its story form are referred to as the "backstory." The introduction of background information into a story or narrative is known as narrative exposition. This information can relate to the place, the history of the characters, earlier narrative developments, the historical background, etc.
What is a backstory?A background is a collection of made-up occasions that are presented as happening before and in the lead-up to a storyline. It is a literary device that presents a narrative history that begins chronologically before the main plot. While an actor prepares, they establish the character's backstory, which occurs before the play starts.
The condition that exists at the outset of the main storyline is based on the history of the characters and other factors. Even completely historical works only provide the spectator with a portion of the backstory. The backstory is a common literary element used to give the main story depth or plausibility. Aristotle acknowledged the value of having a dramatic revelation in Poetics.

The backstory of 'To Build a Fire' involves the protagonist's ignorance of the Yukon's dangers, pivotal to his struggle for survival as highlighted by the quote that shows his lack of imagination.
An important piece of the backstory from Jack London's short story To Build a Fire is the protagonist's lack of understanding of the harsh environment of the Yukon and the risks associated with it. This lack of understanding is critical to the plot, as it leads to the man's struggles against nature. A supporting quotation from the text is, "The trouble with him was that he was without imagination."

What is the best way to revise this sentence?
Served on paper plates, Mrs. Saint-Claire during the party gave pizza to the children.
Mrs. Saint-Claire, during the pizza party, served the children on paper plates.
During the party, Mrs. Saint-Claire served pizza on paper plates to the children.
The sentence is correct as written.
During the party, Mrs. Saint-Claire served pizza on paper plates to the children.
The original sentence is wrong because it makes it sound as though Mrs. Saint-Claire put children on paper plates and served the children as a meal to someone. This is also the same problem with the second option. The first option is wordy and unclear. The third option fixes the error by clarifying that pizza was put on the plate and then given to the children.
The best way to revise the sentence is: "During the party, Mrs. Saint-Claire served pizza on paper plates to the children." Therefore, option (C) is correct.
What is sentence revision?Sentence revision is the process of making changes to a sentence in order to improve its clarity, accuracy, and effectiveness.

In Shakespeare’s plays, lower class characters often speak in _____. blank verse free verse purple prose prose
Answer: Free verse
In Shakespeare's plays, lower class characters often speak in free verse. This is an important distinction that reflects the social order of Shakespeare's time. At that time, the line between lower and upper classes was a well-defined one. Moreover, it was one that greatly affected all aspects of your life. Therefore, the use of free verse is a way in which Shakespeare reflects the real social differences between characters.
Final answer:
In Shakespeare's plays, lower-class characters often speak in prose, which contrasts with the blank verse typically used by noble characters.
Explanation:
In Shakespeare’s plays, lower class characters often speak in prose. Unlike the noble characters who frequently speak in blank verse, specifically iambic pentameter, common characters are often given lines in a more straightforward, conversational style of language which aligns with prose.
This differentiation in speech patterns serves a purpose beyond mere convention; it reflects and reinforces the social hierarchies of Elizabethan society.
The usage of different speaking styles for characters of different classes adds depth to the plays and allows for various levels of interpretation, especially when the pattern is intentionally broken, such as when a noble character is disguised or when madness is depicted.
A celebrity is being interviewed on television about a new weight-loss program that is named for her. What is the MOST likely implicit purpose of this interview? A. to sell the program B. to inform people about the program C. to evaluate the program's success D. to analyze the way the program works
The implicit purpose of a celebrity interview about a weight-loss program is mainly to sell the program, using the celebrity's influence to persuade viewers to purchase it. Essential factors such as health consequences, effectiveness, and program sustainability should be considered before joining a weight-loss program.
The implicit purpose of a celebrity being interviewed about a new weight-loss program on television, especially one named after the celebrity, is most likely A. to sell the program. The interview is likely a form of marketing, meaning that while it may provide some information about the program, the ultimate goal is to persuade viewers to purchase it. This aligns with how companies and celebrities often market health-related products or services to an audience that already shows interest in such lifestyle changes.
When considering a weight-loss program, it is essential to look at various aspects, such as the health consequences, sustainability, cost, and evidence of success. You would want to review scientific studies or verified consumer reports about the program's effectiveness and safety. Additionally, understanding the program's approach and whether it encourages healthy and sustainable lifestyle changes rather than short-term solutions is critical.
