The Old Eagle Tree
John Todd
In a distant field stood a large tulip tree, apparently of a century's growth, and one of the most gigantic. It looked like the father of the surrounding forest. A single tree of huge dimensions, standing all alone, is a sublime object.
On the top of this tree, an old eagle, commonly called the "Fishing Eagle," had built her nest every year, for many years, and, undisturbed, had raised her young. A remarkable place to choose, as she procured her food from the ocean, and this tree stood full ten miles from the seashore. It had long been known as the "Old Eagle Tree."
On a warm, sunny day, the workmen were hoeing corn in an adjoining field. At a certain hour of the day, the old eagle was known to set off for the seaside, to gather food for her young. As she this day returned with a large fish in her claws, the workmen surrounded the tree, and by yelling and hooting, and throwing stones, so scared the poor bird that she dropped her fish, and they carried it off in triumph.
The men soon dispersed, but Joseph sat down under a bush nearby, to watch, and to bestow unavailing pity. The bird soon returned to her nest, without food. The eaglets at once set up a cry for food, so shrill, so clear, and so clamorous that the boy was greatly moved.
The parent bird seemed to try to soothe them; but their appetites were too keen, and it was all in vain. She then perched herself on a limb near them, and looked down into the nest in a manner that seemed to say, "I know not what to do next."
Her indecision was but momentary; again she poised herself, uttered one or two sharp notes, as if telling them to "lie still," balanced her body, spread her wings, and was away again for the sea.
Joseph was determined to see the result. His eye followed her till she grew small, smaller, a mere speck in the sky, and then disappeared. What boy has not thus watched the flight of the bird of his country!
She was gone nearly two hours, about double her usual time for a voyage, when she again returned, on a slow weary wing, flying uncommonly low, in order to have a heavier atmosphere to sustain her, with another fish in her talons.
On nearing the field, she made a circuit round it, to see if her enemies were again there. Finding the coast clear, she once more reached the tree, drooping, faint, and weary, and evidently nearly exhausted. Again the eaglets set up their cry, which was soon hushed by the distribution of a dinner, such as, save the cooking, a king might admire.
"Glorious bird!" cried the boy, "what a spirit! Other birds can fly more swiftly, others can sing more sweetly, others scream more loudly; but what other bird, when persecuted and robbed, when weary, when discouraged, when so far from the sea, would have done this?
"Glorious bird! I will learn a lesson from thee to-day. I will never forget hereafter, that when the spirit is determined it can do almost anything. Others would have drooped, and hung the head, and mourned over the cruelty of man, and sighed over the wants of the nestlings; but thou, by at once recovering the loss, hast forgotten all.
"I will learn of thee, noble bird! I will remember this. I will set my mark high. I will try to do something, and to be something in the world; I will never yield to discouragements."

The tennis players Venus and Serena Williams have gained widespread fame and recognition for their incredible talent The two sisters' accomplishments include multiple Grand Slam titles and four Olympic gold medals one each in singles' and three in doubles. (What is the one plural or possessive error?)
Answer: The two errors in a sentence are Change sisters to sisters' and Change singles to singles.
Explanation: What is an error in a sentence?
A sentence fragment is a specific grammar mistake that occurs when a collection of words are put together but do not fully represent the content of the phrase.
It happens when a phrase or dependent clause (subordinate clause) can stand on its own as though it were a whole sentence. Another example is when a sentence fragment is presented as a complete sentence.
When permitted to stand alone, a phrase—a group of two, three, or more words that do not contain a subject or verb—becomes a sentence fragment. Even though a dependent clause has a subject and verb, the same thing occurs.
Therefore, The two errors in the sentence are Change sisters to sisters' and Change singles to singles.

Choose a symbol from Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry and explain how its meaning changes.
Answer:
One symbol from Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry is the symbol of the "lynched man." This symbol represents the violence and injustice faced by African Americans during the time period of the novel, specifically in the form of lynchings. At first, the lynched man symbolizes fear and oppression for the characters in the novel, as they witness the hanging of a black man and understand the danger that they are all at risk of facing. However, as the novel progresses and the characters become more aware of their own strength and resilience, the lynched man symbol also becomes a symbol of resistance and defiance. The characters, particularly Cassie and her family, begin to actively fight against the injustices they face, and the lynched man becomes a symbol of their determination to stand up for their rights and dignity. In this way, the meaning of the lynched man symbol shifts from one of fear and oppression to one of strength and empowerment.

Pretend you have one hour to prepare to go into hiding.
You can NEVER return to your home.
You cannot carry a suitcase; it would be obvious you were going into hiding.
It is winter; therefore, it is VERY cold outside and there is limited food where you are going.
What items would you take with you?
How would you disguise these items and how would you carry them?
Answer:
If you were in a situation where you could never return to your home, could not carry a suitcase, and were facing cold weather and limited food, there are a few items that you might want to take with you. Some essential items for survival in this situation might include:
-Clothing to keep you warm, such as a coat, gloves, hat, and boots.
-A knife or multi-tool for cutting, opening containers, and other tasks.
-A flashlight or other light source, such as a headlamp, to help you navigate in the dark.
-A map or compass to help you navigate to your destination.
-Water and food, such as granola bars or other non-perishable items that are easy to carry.
To disguise these items and carry them with you, you could try a few different strategies. For example, you could wrap the items in a piece of cloth and tie them into a bundle that you could carry on your back. You could also use a backpack or other bag to carry the items, but be sure to disguise the bag by covering it with a coat or other clothing. Another option might be to hide the items in pockets or other inconspicuous places on your body, such as inside your coat or in the soles of your shoes. The key is to be creative and use whatever resources you have available to conceal and transport your essential items.
