In a novel-in-verse that brims with grief and love, National Book Award-winning and New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Acevedo writes about the devastation of loss, the difficulty of forgiveness, and the bittersweet bonds that shape our lives.

Camino Rios lives for the summers when her father visits her in the Dominican Republic. But this time, on the day when his plane is supposed to land, Camino arrives at the airport to see crowds of crying people…

In New York City, Yahaira Rios is called to the principal’s office, where her mother is waiting to tell her that her father, her hero, has died in a plane crash.

Focus this part of your answer on the second half of the source, from line 20 to the end.

A student, having read this section of the text said: “The writer skilfully conveys the
bleakness of the flat and the street outside. It is as if you are actually in Winston’s apartment, looking out of the window with him.”

To what extent do you agree?

In your response, you should:
• write about your own impressions of the street
• evaluate how the writer has created these impressions
• support your opinions with quotations from the text.

Extract:
It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen. Winston Smith, his chin nuzzled into his breast in an effort to escape the vile wind, slipped quickly through the glass doors of Victory Mansions, though not quickly enough to prevent a swirl of gritty dust from entering along with him. The hallway smelt of boiled cabbage and old rag mats. At one end of it a coloured poster, too large for indoor display, had been tacked to the wall. It depicted simply an enormous face, more than a metre wide: the face of a man of about forty-five, with a heavy black moustache and ruggedly handsome features. Winston made for the stairs. It was no use trying the lift. Even at the best of times it was seldom working, and at present the electric current was cut off during daylight hours. It was part of the economy drive in preparation for Hate Week. The flat was seven flights up, and Winston, who was thirty-nine and had a varicose ulcer above his right ankle, went slowly, resting several times on the way. On each landing, opposite the lift-shaft, the poster with the enormous face gazed from the wall. It was one of those pictures which are so contrived that the eyes follow you about when you move. BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU, the caption beneath it ran. Inside the flat a fruity voice was reading out a list of figures which had something to do with the production of pig-iron. The voice came from an oblong metal plaque like a dulled mirror which formed part of the surface of the right-hand wall. Winston turned a switch and the voice sank somewhat, though the words were still distinguishable. The instrument (the telescreen, it was called) could be dimmed, but there was no way of shutting it off completely. He moved over to the window: a smallish, frail figure, the meagreness of his body merely emphasized by the blue overalls which were the uniform of the party. His hair was very fair, his face naturally sanguine, his skin roughened by coarse soap and blunt razor blades and the cold of the winter that had just ended. Outside, even through the shut window-pane, the world looked cold. Down in the street little eddies of wind were whirling dust and torn paper into spirals, and though the sun was shining and the sky a harsh blue, there seemed to be no colour in anything, except the posters that were plastered everywhere. The blackmoustachio'd face gazed down from every commanding corner. There was one on the house-front immediately opposite. BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU, the caption said, while the dark eyes looked deep into Winston's own. Down at streetlevel another poster, torn at one corner, flapped fitfully in the wind, alternately covering and uncovering the single word INGSOC. In the far distance a helicopter skimmed down between the roofs, hovered for an instant like a bluebottle, and darted away again with a curving flight. It was the police patrol, snooping into people's windows. The patrols did not matter, however. Only the Thought Police mattered.

Benefits of Frozen Food
In today's fast-paced life, having a freshly cooked meal every day may not be practical. To deal with this problem, people have the option of frozen food. Freezing is a good way to preserve the taste and color of most foods. Freezing stops microbes, which are small microorganisms, from growing on the food, and helps to keep food fresher for a prolonged period.
Frozen foods are also useful because supermarkets can store them for a long time, so one can buy frozen fruits and vegetables all year round, without seasonal boundaries. Furthermore, frozen foods make cooking much easier and quicker, because most frozen foods are already half-cooked, chopped, or cut. These half-cooked frozen foods often contain a lot of preservatives such as salt and sugar, which are bad for health. But, they also help make life simpler for those who do not have the time to cook food from scratch. For example, a frozen apple pie is already put together—all one has to do is bake it.
At home, people can cook a number of dishes when they have the time. In fact, there is no comparison to a delicious, hot meal cooked at home with the freshest ingredients. However, frozen foods can be stored for several weeks or months, making them the best choice if one wants to have meals that are instantly ready for consumption.
