Read the poem below and answer the question that follows.
“Hanging Fire”
by Audre Lorde
I am fourteen
and my skin has betrayed me
the boy I cannot live without
still sucks his thumb
in secret
how come my knees are
always so ashy
what if I die
before the morning comes
and momma’s in the bedroom
with the door closed.
I have to learn how to dance
in time for the next party
my room is too small for me
suppose I die before graduation
they will sing sad melodies
but finally
tell the truth about me
There is nothing I want to do
and too much
that has to be done
and momma’s in the bedroom
with the door closed.
Nobody even stops to think
about my side of it
I should have been on Math Team
my marks were better than his
why do I have to be
the one
wearing braces
I have nothing to wear tomorrow
will I live long enough
to grow up
and momma’s in the bedroom
with the door closed.

How is the story of the flood in the epic of gilgamesh similar to the flood story from the bible
Answer:
The story of the flood can be found in many ancient nations' mythology. Here will be given some of the striking similarities between versions of this story from The Epic of Gilgamesh and from The Bible.
Firstly, the flood was sent as a punishment for people's sins and misbehavior. One man was informed about the disaster; in The Bible it was Noah, in the Gilgamesh it was Utnapishtim. Both men built an ark containing many compartments and only one door. All animal species were brought on the boat. Although the flood didn't last the same amount of time in the two stories, its consequences were the same: the water covered the ground and the ark passengers were the only ones left alive.
Also, both boats landed on a mountain peak and both protagonists sent birds to check for nearby land.
Finally, both man offered sacrifice after the flood was over.
Of course, these are only some of the biggest similarities between the two stories. After more careful reading of the stories, one will surely be able to find few similarities more.

Read the quotes from a character in The Princess Bride. Which of the following statements is false about this character?
Now, engage in a 10-minute freewriting exercise. Brainstorm and write about anything that comes to mind when thinking about why this character is relatable to readers. Consider these questions while brainstorming: Hunger Games
Answer:
Hunger Games is relatable to readers because...
Explanation:
The Hunger Games invite readers to think about family, friendship, love, community, and society as a whole. Set in a dystopian society where the main character sacrifices herself for the good of her family. She allows the readers to put themselves in her place and what they would do to help their family-offer up their own life to save her sisters life. It is a story of life and death, ups and downs, a love story of sorts but mainly sacrifice. The community is set in a time when they have sacrificed so much and are barely able to survive but once a year they sacrifice one of their own. The games introduce us to other sectors, this shows us class structure, similar to society now. Some rich and some poor. We see just what people are willing to do to live. We see how corrupt the system behind the game is by adding in and changing up the game to fit their needs. All of the things in the Hunger Games are relatable to todays society and some of the things people of different race, class and ethnicities experience. People love a good story about overcoming things. This is one of those stories. We want to go see the good girl win. Hunger Games evolves with each book and we see the main character evolve as well. But each book keeps us coming back for more- we want to know what happened where we left off. We recognize Katness's struggle and we want her to beat they system and the "man". It gives people a possible glimpse into our future as a society on Earth if we dont focus on the issues we have at hand.

Analyze the quote from Section 3-Burning Bright, then make three connections (text - to this text, text to world, text to self)
"Montag tried to see the men’s faces, the old faces he remembered from the firelight, lined and tired. He was looking for a brightness, a resolve, a triumph over tomorrow that hardly seemed to be there. Perhaps he had expected their faces to burn and glitter with the knowledge they carried, to glow as lanterns glow, with the light in them. But all the light had come from the campfire, and these men had seemed no different than any others who had run a long race, searched a long search, seen good things destroyed, and now, very late, were gathered to wait for the end of the party and the blowing out of the lamps".
Answer:
Text to text: The text shows several times how the faces of men looked downcast, like people who lost their strength and hope. Text to world: The text portrays a link about the idea of tiredness that affects human beings in the most varied spheres of society. This fatigue may not be physical, but mental and psychological. Text to self: The text reminds me of situations where I did not reach a certain goal that I had and I felt that it was no longer worth insisting on, because I had been defeated. Although I went back on some goals, others I let die.Explanation:
When you read a text it is possible to make three types of connections that are called Text-to-self, Text-to-text and text-to-world.
The connection called Text-to-self refers to the connections between the ideas shown in the text and the reader's experiences in his personal life. The connection called Text-to-text refers to the exposure of recurring ideas in the text, which are repeated by reinforcing the main theme being exposed. Finally, the text-to-world connection refers to the connection between the ideas in the text and other areas of knowledge.

Life of Jacqueline B. Kennedy
adapted from John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum
Jacqueline Lee Bouvier was born on July 28, 1929, in Southampton, New York. Her father, John, was a wealthy stockbroker on Wall Street whose family had come from France in the early 1800s. Her mother, Janet, had ancestors from Ireland and England.
Janet Bouvier was an accomplished rider, and Jackie was only a year old when her mother first put her on a horse. By age 11, she had already won several national championships. Jackie also enjoyed reading. Before she started school, she had read all the children's books on her bookshelves. Her heroes were Mowgli from Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book, Robin Hood, Little Lord Fauntleroy's grandfather, Scarlett O'Hara from Gone With the Wind, and the poet Byron. Mrs. Bouvier wondered if Jackie might one day be a writer.
After kindergarten, Jackie started first grade at Miss Chapin's School on East End Avenue in New York. One of her teachers, Miss Platt, thought Jackie was "a darling child, the prettiest little girl, very clever, very artistic, and full of the devil." At times she did get into mischief and would be sent to the headmistress, Miss Ethel Stringfellow, who wrote on her report card: "Jacqueline was given a D in Form because her disturbing conduct in her geography class made it necessary to exclude her from the room."
In June 1947, Jackie graduated from Miss Porter's School, a boarding school for girls in Connecticut. She continued her education at Vassar College in New York, where she studied history, literature, art, and French.
Jacqueline started her first job in the fall of 1951 as the "Inquiring Camera Girl" for the Washington Times-Herald newspaper. Roving around the city, she took pictures of people she encountered, asked them questions on the issues of the day, and wove their answers into her newspaper column. Among those she interviewed for her column was Richard M. Nixon. She also covered the first inauguration of Dwight D. Eisenhower and the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.
During this time, Jacqueline met John F. Kennedy, who was a congressman and soon to be elected a Senator from Massachusetts. On September 12, 1953, they married at St. Mary's Church in Newport, Rhode Island. After their honeymoon in Mexico, the Kennedys returned to Washington D.C. Early on in their marriage, Senator Kennedy suffered crippling pain in his back from football and wartime injuries and had two operations. While recovering from surgery, Mrs. Kennedy encouraged him to write a book about several U.S. senators who had risked their careers to fight for the things they believed in. The book, called Profiles in Courage, was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for biography in 1957. That same year, the Kennedys' first child, Caroline, was born.
In January 1960, Senator John F. Kennedy announced his candidacy for the presidency of the United States. He began traveling all around the country and Jacqueline often accompanied him. During the campaign, she learned that she was pregnant and her doctors instructed her to remain at home. From there, she answered hundreds of campaign letters, taped TV commercials, gave interviews, and wrote a weekly newspaper column, Campaign Wife, which was distributed across the country. On November 8, 1960, John F. Kennedy beat Republican Richard M. Nixon in a very close race. Two and-a-half weeks later, Mrs. Kennedy gave birth to their second child, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Jr. On January 20, 1961, John Fitzgerald Kennedy took the oath of the office to become the nation's 35th president. At age 31, Jacqueline Kennedy was the first lady.
