Read the excerpt from Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby.

I lived at West Egg, the—well, the less fashionable of the two, though this is a most superficial tag to express the bizarre and not a little sinister contrast between them. . . . Across the courtesy bay the white palaces of fashionable East Egg glittered along the water, and the history of the summer really begins on the evening I drove over there to have dinner with the Tom Buchanans.

Based on these descriptions, what inference can be made about the difference between West Egg and East Egg?
The wealthy residents of East Egg hide their unattractive qualities beneath light and dreamy appearances.
Because the residents of West Egg have only recently earned their money, they are more sophisticated.
West Egg is less fashionable because its residents have much less money than the residents of East Egg.
The residents of West Egg and East Egg are noticeably different from one another, but they often socialize together.

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The wealthy residents of East Egg hide their unattractive qualities beneath the light and dreamy appearances inference can be made about the difference between West Egg and East Egg. Thus option A is correct.

In his lifespan, Fitzgerald wrote four works of fiction and several short pieces, but The Great Gatsby (1925), a detached portrayal of the excess and greed that swept America in the 19th century the Great Depression—is the work for which he is best remembered.

East Egg's affluent inhabitants conceal their undesirable traits behind luminous, idyllic exteriors. The people of West Egg are highly educated because they have just acquired wealth. Residents of the affluent and stylish East Egg conceal their undesirable traits beneath airy, dreamlike appearances.

Therefore, option A is the correct option.

Where Do You Work? When Kids Had Adult Jobs

Imagine dragging yourself out of bed on a cold, dark morning before the sun has even risen. You dress quickly because you’re running late. But instead of a day filled with schoolwork, soccer practice, and a few chores around the house, you head over to the town’s mill where you will spend the next 10 to 12 hours. That’s what life was like for about 18 percent of American children ages 10 to 15 in the early twentieth century. Instead of going to school, they went to work.

Before the Industrial Revolution

From the early days of America until the late 1930s, there were few laws protecting children from work. In colonial times, children often worked alongside their parents. Girls worked with their mothers cooking, sewing, gardening, and milking cows. Boys worked on their fathers’ farms or in their shops. Boys from the ages of 10 to 14 often became apprentices. They worked under the care and direction of master craftsmen. In both farming and apprenticeships, children learned the skills of a job from beginning to end. Those in apprenticeships not only learned a trade from their masters, they were also taught basic arithmetic and how to read and write. Plus, they were given a place to live and a wage.

From Farms to Factories

By the time of the Civil War in the 1860s, however, the apprenticeship system had fallen by the wayside. The country was becoming more industrialized. Children worked to help support their families. Children were often hired to work in factories because factory owners found children easy to manage. They could be paid less than adults and were less likely to go on strike. An added benefit was their small size: children could easily move in tight spaces around machinery.

Factory workers, including children, generally learned one repetitive job. This made training fast and easy. Despite their age, children often worked in hazardous conditions. They worked in cotton mills in New England and in the South. The windows of the mills were kept shut to keep the cotton moist and warm so it wouldn’t break. Child workers would be covered in cotton lint that would fill their lungs. Towns grew around the mills. Families lived in houses owned by the mills. The mills provided a school. But the children usually didn’t have time to attend. A study done in the early twentieth century revealed that half the children under age 14 could not read or write.

In the early 1900s, children also worked in glass factories, canneries, cranberry bogs, and sugar beet fields. They went to work in the mines in Pennsylvania or West Virginia as a “breaker boy.” Breaker boys sat crouched over a coal chute. Their job was to pick out pieces of slate and rock as the coal rushed past them. The air was thick with coal dust, and many of the boys suffered from respiratory illnesses because of it. They earned 60 cents for a 10-hour shift of backbreaking work.

Champions for Change

Fortunately, some concerned citizens decided to stand up against child labor and to address the problems it created. In 1904, a group of reformers founded the National Child Labor Committee (NCLC) to abolish child labor. This committee hired investigators to gather evidence for their cause. One person they hired was Lewis Wickes Hine. Hine was a former teacher and photographer. He took pictures of children wherever they worked.

From 1908 to 1912, Hine snapped pictures of children at work. He would hide his camera and trick factory bosses into letting him get inside. Hine wrote notes on a pad hidden inside his pocket. He wanted to accurately describe what he saw without being caught. His photographs showed children working in coal mines, sweatshops, and mills and on farms. When many of Hine’s photographs were published, the public was shocked. People were finally motivated to address the issue of child labor.

Soon many states passed laws protecting children in the workplace. But despite these laws, children still worked hard. The NCLC pushed for a federal law for child workers. In 1916 and 1918, laws were passed. But those laws were overturned by the Supreme Court as being unconstitutional. In 1924, Congress passed an amendment to the Constitution. But not enough states ratified it, so it didn’t become law. In 1938, the Fair Labor Standards Act was passed. It set a national minimum wage and maximum hours to be worked in a day. More important, it set limitations on child labor.

Today, children are protected by child labor laws. The federal government has set the minimum working age at 14 for jobs other than babysitting or delivering newspapers. In some states the minimum working age may be higher. Children’s lives are much easier today than they were more than a century ago.

The Angry Lunchtime
by Tirzah Tyler

"I really wish this place had a lunch buffet," Kevin said while he cleaned his glasses with the restaurant's cloth napkin. "That way, we wouldn't have to spend time waiting for the chefs to cook our food."
"I don't mind waiting," Alex said while he read a menu and scratched his beard.
Kevin put his glasses on and wondered when Alex was going to shave. "You don't mind waiting because you don't care about getting back to the office on time after lunch," he said with a laugh.
Still reading the menu, Alex shrugged his shoulders.
Kevin took a deep breath and began to read the menu. He thought about how his bank account was almost out of money. He had bought Alex's lunch three times in a row, and he hoped that Alex would not expect him to buy his lunch again. "It's your turn, by the way," Kevin said.
"It's my turn for what?"
"To buy lunch for both of us," Kevin said, hoping he did not sound angry.
"I can't," Alex said while he continued to scratch his beard. "Payday isn't until Friday."
Kevin sighed and removed his glasses. "Then why are we here?"
Alex finally stopped scratching his beard and made eye contact with Kevin. "I thought we were here because it is lunchtime; therefore, we will eat lunch."
"I mean, why are we going to eat lunch here if we can't afford it?" Kevin asked. "You take advantage of my generosity all the time!" he exclaimed.
"Are you two ready to order?" a waitress asked.
"Why don't you people have a lunch buffet like all the other restaurants?" Kevin asked harshly.
"OK, I'll come back later," the waitress said before she walked away.
Alex reached over the table and gently placed a hand on Kevin's shoulder. "Hey, man, you didn't have to explode like that," he said.
Kevin sighed and put his glasses back on. "You're right. I'm sorry I yelled at you. I'll apologize to her, too, after she comes back. Sometimes I get crazy when I'm hungry and broke."
Alex reached into his back pocket and removed his wallet. "I have a couple of dollars and some change with me. I know of a burger place down the street that has a dollar menu. I would be happy to buy you lunch today," he said. Then he added with a grin, "I'm planning to shave my beard on payday, in case that was bothering you too."
Blushing, Kevin said, "Thanks, man."

Use details from the text to explain why Edwina and Marshall Johnson have trouble with the Montgomery bus laws.

Two youngsters from New Jersey-sixteen-year-old Edwina Johnson and her brother Marshall, who was fifteen-arrived in Montgomery to visit relatives during the summer of 1949. No one told them about the city’s segregation laws for buses, and one day they boarded a bus and sat down by a white man and boy. The white boy told Marshall to get up from the seat beside him. Marshall refused. Then the bus driver ordered the black teenagers to move, but they continued to sit where they were. Up North, they were accustomed to riding integrated buses and trains. They didn’t see now why they should give up their seats. The driver called the police, and Edwina and Marshall were arrested. Held in jail for two days, they were convicted at a court hearing of violating the city’s segregation laws. Judge Wiley C. Hill threatened to send them to reform school until they were twenty-one, but relatives managed to get them an attorney. They were fined and sent back to New Jersey.

action, nine months earlier than Parks, is less celebrated. Think about how Colvin's action influenced later events.
