Explain how a video might help you research about a specific period of time in history.

Read this excerpt from “What I Hope to Leave Behind.”

In all the ages there have been people whose hearts have been somehow so touched by the misery of human beings that they wanted to give their lives in some way to alleviate it. We have some examples of women like this today: Lillian Wald and Mary Simkhovitch in New York, Jane Addams in Chicago.

Why does Eleanor Roosevelt refer to these women in her speech?

They were women who became friends with Eleanor Roosevelt.
They were three women who had pursued successful careers.
They were women who agreed to help Eleanor Roosevelt educate the public.
They were well-known examples of women who had worked to help others.

Second, it is incredibly narrow-minded to assume that the only service libraries offer is book lending.
Libraries have a multitude of benefits, and many are only available if the library has a physical location.
Some of these benefits include acting as a quiet study space, giving people a way to converse with their neighbors, holding classes on a variety of topics, providing jobs, answering patron questions, and
keeping the community connected. One neighborhood found that, after a local library instituted
community events such as play times for toddlers and parents, job fairs for teenagers, and meeting
spaces for senior citizens, over a third of residents reported feeling more connected to their community. Similarly, a Pew survey conducted in 2015 found that nearly two-thirds of American adults feel that closing their local library would have a major impact on their community. People see libraries as a way to connect with others and get their questions answered, benefits tablets can’t offer nearly as well or as easily.

This is the second paragraph in the body of an essay arguing against the closure of local libraries. Critically evaluate whether the support evidence is relevant, sufficient and valid.

How does his mother's accident change Travis?

I was sitting on the couch, mindlessly watching one of my shows when the phone rang. I thought it was going to be my mom, asking whether I'd changed my mind and wanted to go out to dinner with her, but it wasn't.
"Hello, may I speak to Travis Colburn?"

Passage A: Andrew Carnegie: A Friend of the People
1 What makes a successful life? A look at the life of Andrew Carnegie offers some clues. Carnegie was a nineteenth-century industrialist who rose from poverty to build a steel empire. He ultimately became the richest man in the world. His success was largely a product of his study of business and industrial trends and of his management of his relationships with well-connected people.

2 Carnegie was poor when he arrived in the U.S. at the age of 13, but his habits of study and personal skills enabled him to rise quickly. He worked long days and weeks in a textile mill, but read widely and applied himself to the study of bookkeeping at night. At 14, he landed a job as a messenger in a telegraph office. He again studied to get ahead, memorizing a street map of Pittsburgh, the locations of local businesses, and the faces of important businessmen. He also became one of only three people in the U.S. at the time to learn to decipher Morse code by ear. His work paid off when he was promoted to the position of telegraph operator, and his skills soon made him the fastest operator in his office. At 17, Carnegie caught the attention of a railroad superintendent, Thomas A. Scott, who hired him as his personal secretary. In this quick succession of events, it is easy to see how Carnegie used his immense drive and skill to lay a foundation for his later success.

3 As a developing and eventually successful businessman, Carnegie advanced through a continued close attention to relationships and to his era’s business and industrial trends. He worked closely at Scott’s side. There he learned about stocks and making sound investments. At the close of the Civil War, he left the railroad. He’d decided that he could better realize his goal of attaining a “fortune” by building upon his interests in iron. When he later expanded into the steel industry, Carnegie assessed the current technology and decided to apply what is known as the Bessemer process to his production method. This enabled him to increase production while keeping his prices low. Ultimately, this allowed him to rule the industry. As he built his companies, he carefully maintained and grew his relationships with Scott and the railroad’s president, J. Edgar Thomson. He named his first steel mill after Thomson, and he offered both men opportunities to invest in his ongoing ventures.

4 Beyond his business achievements, he was a man who gave much to others. He donated hundreds of millions of dollars to education, the arts, free public libraries, and foundations dedicated to world peace. His generosity has improved the lives of generations of people. He died a rich man, in more ways than one.
Based on the first text, what did Carnegie's relationship with Thomas A. Scott contribute to his eventual success?
A.
business sense and connections
B.
an entry into the steel business
C.
telegraphing and secretarial skills
D.
a fortune to invest in stocks

In those days he really didn’t know what he was talking about; that is to say, he was a young jailkid all hung-up on the wonderful possibilities of becoming a real intellectual, and he liked to talk in the tone and using the words, but in a jumbled way, that he had heard from “real intellectuals”—although, mind you, he wasn’t so naïve as that in all other things, and it took him just a few months with Carlo Marx to become completely in there with all the terms and jargon.

Billy was seventeen years old. He was wearing a new navy-blue overcoat, a new brown trilby hat, and a new brown suit, and he was feeling fine. He walked briskly down the street. He was trying to do everything briskly these days. Briskness, he had decided, was the one common characteristic of all successful businessmen. The big shots up at Head Office were absolutely fantastically brisk all the time. They were amazing. excerpt from The Landlady by Roald Dahl S T E A L
