“In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart” From The Diary of Anne Frank: “In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can't build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery, and death.

Think about this quote. Do you agree or disagree? Use text based evidence to support your thinking.

Answer:

I do agree with this quote because history has proven that even the most horrific human doings fade over time and are defeated by an inherent human tendency to empathy and solidarity.

Explanation:

Anne´s diary offers a hopeful perspective during the most horrific setting imaginable. Despite her impending demise during the German occupation of the Netherlands, she maintains an unyielding belief in human goodness. There are many quotes with the same hopeful approach, like: "I don't think of all the misery, but of the beauty that still remains." Probably the best example for her was the fact that her family could hide in the secret annex thanks to non-Jewish friends who put their lives at risk for them.  

And I can´t help but agree with this hopeful approach because I´ve read about this kind of courage in many of the most gruesome chapters of history. Brave souls giving their lives to save others, to make the world better.

Anne may not have survived the Holocaust, but her story became a source of inspiration for those who wanted to learn from that awful period. And despite her death and without her even knowing about it she did become the great writer she hoped to be, thanks to many others who also showed their commitment to ensuring her words were not forgotten.

They weren't really very good—no better than anybody else would have been, anyway. They were burdened with sashweights and bags of birdshot, and their faces were masked, so that no one, seeing a free and graceful gesture or a pretty face, would feel like something the cat drug in.
Answer choices for the above question

A. The ballerinas are the only people left who are allowed to be beautiful.

B. Dance is the last remaining art form.

C. Shielding high intelligence or good looks keeps the public from feeling inferior.

D. People are forced to wear their handicaps in order to encourage them to become even stronger.

Becoming a Dragon Champion (excerpt) Lotta Carl “I’ll never get Remus ready for the competition at this rate!” Jada said. Jada stood up and wiped the dust off her cloak. She had fallen onto the ground after Remus, her pet dragon, had accidentally knocked her over with his tail. Remus was still a young dragon and had not yet mastered taking off, landing, or other important dragon skills. Remus walked over to Jada and put his head down. “It’s okay, buddy,” she said. “Miguel, can you help me put Remus back into the barn? I don’t want to be late for the first-day banquette.” “Come on, Remus,” said Miguel. “Follow Igor back to the barn.” Remus obeyed Miguel’s command and followed Igor, whose dragon skills were a little more developed, back to the barn. “Don’t be discouraged, Jada,” said Miguel. It takes a long time for these dragons to learn to fly properly. Igor is a little more advanced because he is a few months older than Remus.” “I know. But the Dragon Championship is only a month away, and I’ve already seen some dragons soaring over the school and even breathing fire!” she said. “Well, we had better go in and join the banquet. Everyone will be wondering where we are.” By the time the friends walked into the hall, most of the students had already started eating. Jada and Miguel walked through the line, filled their plates with food, and took a seat at one of the long tables. Jada and Miguel were second-year students at the Greenhaven Academy. Jada was one of only thirty students accepted to the school last year.

Which is the best description of the relationship established between Jada and Miguel? A) Jada is jealous of Miguel. B) Miguel is jealous of Jada. C) Jada is supportive of Miguel. DE) Miguel is supportive of Jada.

Read the text and answer the following question(s).

Painter of Light

Thomas Kinkade is known for his gift of painting light. Splashes of light ranging in color from creamy white to sunny yellow litter his paintings. No other artist has captured light in its many forms, hues, and patterns like the inimitable Thomas Kinkade. Because of his talent, he is recognized as America's most collected artist.


In 1958, Thomas Kinkade was born in Sacramento, California. From 1976 to 1978, Kinkade attended the University of California, receiving his formal training at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. The summer after graduation, he embarked on a sketching tour with a college friend, James Gurney. In 1982, he married his childhood sweetheart, Nanette, and co–authored The Artist's Guide to Sketching with Gurney. He and Gurney went on to be employed by Ralph Bakshi Studios to create background art for the animated feature Fire and Ice. From 1984 to 1989, Kinkade published many paintings, so that by 1994, he was a published artist in his own right. That year, he earned the honorary title of Artist of the Year from the National Association of Limited Edition Dealers (NALED). An era in landscape artistry had begun that would make a lasting impression in art history. He went on to publish more art books and receive more recognition, collecting fans as rapidly as they collected his works.


One of the unique qualities of Kinkade's work is that he hides messages to his wife and daughters in each painting. For example, for his wife Nanette, he paints a hidden letter "N" in each piece. His four daughters' names, as well as their faces, also appear in his works. Some people say that Kinkade is a passing craze of the twenty–first century; however, it is clear that he has staying power in the art world. His works soothe the senses and inspire the mind because he captures the essence of light, the force on which human life thrives.


Landscape Art

Landscape art is a form of escapism. That is, it allows the viewer to escape into another world of beautiful scenery that is easy on the eyes and induces peace of mind. Thomas Kinkade is a good example of a landscape artist whose work has this effect. His ability to paint light shows his profound understanding of what is lovely to the human eye.


Modern Art Critics

Thomas Kinkade's influence on modern art will be minimal. His art is merely decorative and faddish and will only be a flash in the pan of art history. The only reason he is so popular is that he captures on canvas the scenes that relax and pacify us during a turbulent time in American history .Which sentence from the text best reveals the cause of Thomas Kinkade’s Popularity?
From 1976 to 1978, Kinkade attended the University of California, receiving his formal training at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena.


He and Gurney went on to be employed by Ralph Bakshi Studios to create background art for the animated feature Fire and Ice.


One of the unique qualities of Kinkade's work is that he hides messages to his wife and daughters in each painting.


His works soothe the senses and inspire the mind because he captures the essence of light, the force on which human life thrives.
