Read the excerpt from “A Journey West.”

It was all my fault. I'm the one who told Momma and Daddy that we should travel west. I saw the handbills, which said there was good land in Kansas. I heard a man say that if we could live on the land and improve it, we'd own it, which is not something a black family can do in Louisiana.

The man said that the people going to Kansas were like the slaves leaving Egypt in the biblical Exodus. He said we should all raise some dust and make our own exodus, out of the injustice of the South and into the freedom of the West! Well, my mind filled up with so many dreams and beautiful visions that I just about ran home to tell my folks.

The story’s first-person point of view tells the reader

how hard it was for the enslaved people to escape Egypt.
how to farm land that was available in Kansas.
about Nate’s thoughts when he discovers that land is available in Kansas.
about Nate’s parents and their hopes of escaping the injustices of the South.

Read the excerpt from "Damon and Pythias.''



Narrator: When Pythias was brought before the king, he showed no fear. He stood straight and quiet before the throne.


King: (Hard, cruel) So, Pythias! They tell me you do not approve of the laws I make.


Pythias: I am not alone, your majesty, in thinking your laws are cruel. But you rule the people with such an iron hand that they dare not complain.


King: (Angry) But you have the daring to complain for them! Have they appointed you their champion?


Pythias: No, your majesty. I speak for myself alone. I have no wish to make trouble for anyone. But I am not afraid to tell you that the people are suffering under your rule. They want to have a voice in making the laws for themselves. You do not allow them to speak up for themselves.


King: In other words, you are calling me a tyrant! Well, you shall learn for yourself how a tyrant treats a rebel! Soldier! Throw this man into prison!


Which detail best supports the inference that the king is afraid that his people will rise up against him?


A. "In other words, you are calling me a tyrant!"

B. "They tell me you do not approve of the laws I make."

C. "Well, you shall learn for yourself how a tyrant treats a rebel!"

Have you ever thought jellyfish were bad? Imagine a swarm of jellyfish came at you. What would you do? Jellyfish are becoming a concern; they are swarming fishing nets and affecting power plant pipes. These fish have reduced the number of fish and are clogging power plant pipes. These fish pose a threat to our economy, what will we do about it?



The jellyfish has ruined fish harvesting and drastically decreased fish numbers. The jellyfish have affected the fish population and ruined the power plants. The jellyfish sting and harm the fish, so they are swarming the fish away. The jellyfish continue to clog the pipes in the power plants, so they are forced to shut down the plant.



The fish have caused many problems for fishers and for power plant workers. The fish are dangerous and are becoming the pests of the ocean. The solution to some of these problems are to use some extra precaution and smaller nets. These fish are a harmful and pesty problem for today's Economy.

Help needed!!!!!!!!

How can interpreting an author’s information into your own words help your audience understand your topic?

Read the passage. First identify the text structure used in the passage, and then explain how this structure helps develop the writer's central idea. Use evidence from the text in your response.

Passage
The rise in popularity of farmers' markets has caused many people to rethink their use of regular grocery stores. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. Farmers' markets have fresh and local produce, and often you get a chance to meet the people who grow your food. This isn't the case with grocery stores, where you'll never get to meet the farmers. Grocery stores are starting to have more local products, though, and they have a better variety of goods. Another thing to consider is the setting itself. Farmers' markets are usually in more pleasant, open-air locations where there's often live music playing. Grocery stores, on the other hand, can be busy and uncomfortable if you don't like shopping. The pleasant atmosphere comes at a price, though, as your bill at a farmers' market is likely to be 25 percent more than at a grocery store. All in all, the freshness and quality of food is worth a little more money. Farmers' markets are the way to go.

Joe Traynor is a California bee broker. From a small office in a quiet side street in downtown Bakersfield, on the southern tip of Central Valley, he runs a lucrative business matching almond growers with beekeepers. I put to him that surely all this moving around of bees, confined to their hives for long periods, must be stressful for them. He admits that too much travel is not good for their health: "When you're trucking bees, they need sleep, just as humans do, and the bumping around in the truck for two to three days keeps them awake, and this lowers their resistance to pests and disease."
