GIVE ME LIBERTY
The Struggle for Self-Government in Virginia
Thomas J. Wertenbaker

Chapter I: The Cornerstone of Liberty
Three little vessels-the Susan Constant, the Godspeed, and the Discovery-left England in December, 1606, under the command of Captain Christopher Newport, to found a colony on the distant shores of Virginia. Two decades earlier Sir Walter Raleigh had sent out a group of settlers to what is now North Carolina, and they had disappeared mysteriously. What had happened to them? men asked. Had they been killed by the Indians? Had they fallen victims to disease? Had they starved? Those who shared in this new venture must have wondered if a like fate awaited them in this strange new land.

But their spirits rose when they entered Chesapeake Bay. Landing parties were delighted with the "fair meddowes ... full of flowers of divers kinds and colors," the "goodly tall trees," and the streams of fresh water. It was a smiling country which seemed to bid them welcome. But when they entered the mouth of a broad river, which they called the James in honor of their King, and made their way up into the country, new doubts must have assailed them. They knew that savages lived in the dense forests which lined both banks; might not strange wild beasts live there also? Might there not be fatal diseases unknown in Europe?

What is the main point of the descriptive details at the beginning of the second paragraph? (5 points)

Question 4 options:

1)

To place the reader in the moment of the first landing

2)

To describe what the colonists were up against

3)

To create a sense of fear and anxiety

4)

To end the journey on a hopeful note

SHARKS' TEETH
Langston Carter

The day we found the sharks' teeth was foggy and cool. Moisture hung in the air so thick you could almost see it sparkling in the dim sunlight. There were days, early in the summer like this one, where it seemed there was more water in the air than in the bay. We had beached the boat and stepped out on the recently cleared spit of land. The ground had a light dusting of white sand over an under layer of dried black mud. It looked like a recently frosted chocolate cake, though the frosting was spread a bit thin for my taste. The ground was solid, but we knew from experience that it was full of fiddler crab holes, and would be underwater at the first super-high tide. Mysteriously, to us anyway, someone wanted to build a house there.

We often came to these spots to look for artifacts. Our beach, our summer home, had been a fishing camp for as long as anyone living could remember. The oldest stories told of travelers coming down to the edge of the sea, lining up to fill their wagon beds with salted fish to take back home. Old decaying cabins still lined the beach. Rotting nets, hung out to dry in the last century, decorated their weathered walls. Their broken faces spun stories in our minds. The fishermen who, tanned and wrinkled from sun and salt, hauled their nets full of splashing mullet in to cheers from the waiting crowds. The bounty of the sea lightened everyone's hearts, and the smell of roasting fish filled the damp air. Women fanned themselves from wagon seats. Children splashed in the shallow edges of the bay. It was a scene we had acted out as youngsters, building an imaginary bridge to a life we would never fully know.

Which of the following correctly describes the narrator of this excerpt, "Sharks' Teeth"? (5 points)

Question 22 options:

1)

First person recalling a past event

2)

Second person telling a present event

3)

Third-person limited recalling a past event

4)

Which THREE sets of lines in this excerpt from act II, scene IV, of Twelfth Night suggest that a woman is inconstant in love?
DUKE: [There is no woman's sides
Can bide the beating of so strong a passion
As love doth give my heart; no woman's heart]
So big, to hold so much; [they lack retention.
Alas, their love may be call'd appetite,
No motion of the liver], [but the palate,
That suffer surfeit, cloyment and revolt];
[But mine is all as hungry as the sea,
And can digest as much: make no compare
Between that love a woman can bear me]
And that I owe Olivia.

VIOLA: Ay, but I know—

DUKE: What dost thou know?

VIOLA: [Too well what love women to men may owe:
In faith, they are as true of heart as we.
My father had a daughter loved a man,]
As it might be, perhaps, were I a woman,
I should your lordship.

We should organize a student-run organic garden on our school grounds. Organic food is expensive, but one school in our region, Dickinson Middle School, was able to add an organic vegetable option to every meal while raising their food cost by only 1 percent. Nearby Browning Junior High did so with only a 2 percent increase. Students were healthier, and the administrators didn't have to fret about the budget. On the opposing side, some worry that students won't like the organic options, and we'll end up with a surplus of food and a problematic budget. The truth is that no nearby school that's tried such a program has ended up with any food surplus. Let's start a student-run organic garden today.​

Identifying Sensory Images
And though my head felt heavy,
I played on till dusk
Missing flies and pop-ups and grounders
And calling out in desperation things like
“Yours” and “take it,” but doing all right,
Tugging at my cap in just the right way,
Crouching low, my feet set.
“Hum baby” sweetly on my lips.

—“How I Learned English,”
Gregory Djanikan

1Poetry is a huge part of literary history. 2It is also a part of musical history. 3From the lyrics of ancient folk songs to those of modern-day rap, musicians have used words in their art to express life, love, and culture. 4Whether the melody comes first or the words do, it is a poet's job to make them work together. 5The music and words become partners in the goal of expressing ideas or affecting the listener in some way. 6We have all been turned into mush by a beautiful song with a sad message, and we have the musical poets to thank for that.

Read this excerpt from "Rules of the Game."

"Bite back your tongue," scolded my mother when I cried loudly, yanking her hand toward the store that sold bags of salted plums. At home, she said, "Wise guy, he not go against wind. In Chinese we say, Come from South, blow with wind—poom!—North will follow. Strongest wind cannot be seen." The next week I bit back my tongue as we entered the store with the forbidden candies. When my mother finished her shopping, she quietly plucked a small bag of plums from the rack and put it on the counter with the rest of the items.
