5 page story on Contemporary Literature

Read the excerpt from Flannery O'Connor's "The Life You Save May Be Your Own."
The daughter could not see far in front of her and continued to play with her fingers. Although the old woman
lived in this desolate spot with only her daughter and she had never seen Mr. Shiftlet before, she could tell,
even from a distance, that he was a tramp and no one to be afraid of. His left coat sleeve was folded up to
show there was only half an arm in it and his gaunt figure listed slightly to the side as if the breeze were
pushing him. He had on a black town suit and a brown felt hat that was turned up in the front and down in the
back and he carried a tin tool box by a handle. He came on, at an amble, up her road, his face turned toward
the sun which appeared to be balancing itself on the peak of a small mountain.
What technique does O'Connor use in the paragraph to create compelling characters?
detailed descriptions
vivid dialogue
multiple settings
believable motivations

Read the passage from an article about gravity.

Imagine riding in an elevator to the top floor of a very tall building. At the top, the cables supporting the car break, causing the car and you to fall to the ground. (In this example, we discount the effects of air friction on the falling car.) Since you and the elevator car are falling together, you feel like you are floating inside the car. In other words, you and the elevator car are accelerating downward at the same rate due to gravity alone. If a scale were present, your weight would not register because the scale would be falling too. The ride is lots of fun until you get to the bottom! NASA calls this floating condition microgravity. The condition is experienced in orbit and in transit between planetary bodies.

Which words used in the passage are domain-specific terms?

Select all that apply.
elevator
accelerating

Memories of a Memory

Have you ever witnessed something amazing, shocking or surprising and found when describing the event that your story seems to change the more you tell it? Have you ever experienced a time when you couldn't really describe something you saw in a way that others could understand? If so, you may understand why some experts think eyewitness testimony is unreliable as evidence in scientific inquiries and trials. New insights into human memory suggest human memories are really a mixture of many non-factual things.

First, memory is vague. Imagine your room at home or a classroom you see every day. Most likely, you could describe the room very generally. You could name the color of the walls, the floors, the decorations. But the image you describe will never be as specific or detailed as if you were looking at the actual room. Memory tends to save a blurry image of what we have seen rather than specific details. So when a witness tries to identify someone, her brain may recall that the person was tall, but not be able to say how tall when faced with several tall people. There are lots of different kinds of "tall."

Second, memory uses general knowledge to fill in gaps. Our brains reconstruct events and scenes when we remember something. To do this, our brains use other memories and other stories when there are gaps. For example, one day at a library you go to quite frequently, you witness an argument between a library patron and one of the librarians. Later, when telling a friend about the event, your brain may remember a familiar librarian behind the desk rather than the actual participant simply because it is recreating a familiar scene. In effect, your brain is combining memories to help you tell the story.

Third, your memory changes over time. It also changes the more you retell the story. Documented cases have shown eyewitnesses adding detail to testimony that could not have been known at the time of the event. Research has also shown that the more a witness's account is told, the less accurate it is. You may have noticed this yourself. The next time you are retelling a story, notice what you add, or what your brain wants to add, to the account. You may also notice that you drop certain details from previous tellings of the story.

With individual memories all jumbled up with each other, it is hard to believe we ever know anything to be true. Did you really break your mother's favorite vase when you were three? Was that really your father throwing rocks into the river with you when you were seven? The human brain may be quite remarkable indeed. When it comes to memory, however, we may want to start carrying video cameras if we want to record the true picture.

Which word from the text best describes memories from our childhood?
