Read the passage.
excerpt from “Mohandas Gandhi: Truth in Action” by Vanessa Wright
“Thief,” thought Mohandas Gandhi. “I am a thief.”
Fifteen-year-old Mohandas looked at the gold in his hand. He had stolen it from his brother. It was not his first theft: earlier, he had stolen coins from the family’s servants. But now, the gold in his hand burned like a hot coal. He sat down and wrote a letter of confession to his father.
Would his father punish him? Mohandas watched as his father read the note. Tears rolled down his father’s cheeks, wetting the paper. But there was no scolding. Silently, his father tore the letter into pieces. Later, Gandhi realized that, in his father’s response, he had seen the principle of Ahimsa—of nonviolence—in action. He dedicated his life to that principle.
Which statement best describes how the anecdote affects the text?
It shows that Gandhi is untrustworthy.
It reveals that Gandhi learns the importance of nonviolence.
It proves that gold is important to Gandhi.
It demonstrates that as a teen Gandhi has a permissive father.

The greedy neighbor, hearing of this new piece of good luck, was filled with envy as before, and called on the old man and asked to borrow the wonderful mortar for a short time, pretending that he, too, sorrowed for the death of Shiro, and wished to make cakes for a festival to the dog’s memory.
The old man did not in the least wish to lend it to his cruel neighbor, but he was too kind to refuse. So the envious man carried home the mortar, but he never brought it back.
Several days passed, and Shiro’s master waited in vain for the mortar, so he went to call on the borrower, and asked him to be good enough to return the mortar if he had finished with it. He found him sitting by a big fire made of pieces of wood. On the ground lay what looked very much like pieces of a broken mortar. In answer to the old man’s inquiry, the wicked neighbor answered haughtily:
“Have you come to ask me for your mortar? I broke it to pieces, and now I am making a fire of the wood, for when I tried to pound cakes in it only some horrid smelling stuff came out.”
Answer:
An old man's dog, Shiro had recently passed away and he mourned over the death of his dog. He had mortar, which was a piece of good luck. His neighbor came to his door one day and asked if he could borrow the old man's mortar.
The neighbor said that wanted to make cakes in memory of Shiro. The old man wanted to refuse, but he couldn't bring himself to say no. So he lent the mortar to his evil neighbor. Going on with his day, the old man waited until his neighbor would bring it back.
Several days has soon passed, and the old man wondered where his mortar was. He had asked the borrower to bring it back once he was finished but he hadn't. The older man went to look for the neighbor and found him by a big fire with pieces of wood. The old man saw that on the ground, it was broken pieces of mortar. He was in shock as the neighbor spoke to him. “Have you come to ask me for your mortar? I broke it to pieces, and now I am making a fire of the wood, for when I tried to pound cakes in it only some horrid smelling stuff came out.”

What do you think the most persuasive argument in the editorial about students texting at school is and why?
here's the story
Editorial: Let high school students use their cell phones outside class
Schools all over the nation are acknowledging that technology is a large part of students’ lives. While most schools continue to ban texting and calling during class time, some schools are allowing students to call and text in-between classes.
Students have been doing this in secret for a long time. Allowing students to use their phones between classes will cut down on this behavior.
Additionally, most parents want the option of being able to contact their child between classes during the school day. Cell phones have become an important parenting tool.
Sure, some people will say that students should be able to be “phone-free” during the school day, but that is probably not realistic in this day and age. If schools can help children and parents communicate without disrupting class, all the better! Let kids go mobile at school!
Answer:
If schools can help children and parents communicate without disrupting class, all the better! Let kids go mobile at school!
Explanation:
Answer:
We should let kids text in school, especially if their not disrupting the class. Sometime parents want to check on their kids in class and they should be able to!

“Have you come to ask me for your mortar? I broke it to pieces, and now I am making a fire of the wood, for when I tried to pound cakes in it only some horrid smelling stuff came out.”
Answer:
I couldn’t believe my neighbor’s luck. Why did good things always happen to him and not me? It wasn’t fair at all. I knew that I had to do something to make things more equal between us. I approached him one day and asked to borrow the mortar. I could see that he was suspicious of me. I lied to him about my intentions, saying that I wanted to make cakes for a feast in memory of his dog. I pretended to be plunged into sorrow at his dog’s death, even though I had secretly killed the dog. I had hoped doing so would make us equal in our misery.
The old man agreed to lend me his mortar, but I think he was just foolishly too weak to say no. I took the mortar home with absolutely no intention of returning it to him.
I immediately tried to make cakes with the mortar. Instead of the wonderful bounty I had heard about, I ended up with something foul smelling. I was enraged. I tried to use the mortar for a few days, but it continued to fail me. Once again, I felt like the victim. Why must I suffer, while my neighbor profited? I broke the mortar into pieces and began burning it in a fire. My neighbor came to my house at that time. He seemed shocked at the sight of his precious mortar burning to ashes. I was consumed by fury and said to him, “Have you come to ask me for your mortar? I broke it to pieces, and now I am making a fire of the wood, for when I tried to pound cakes in it only some horrid smelling stuff came out.”

Gottlieb Mittelberger was a schoolteacher who left Germany in May of 1750 to make his journey to America. He arrived at the port of Philadelphia in October of that year, and kept a diary detailing his experience on the journey. Read an excerpt from his firsthand account.
After reading the excerpt, briefly compare the man’s account of life on a ship to Avi’s portrayal of it in The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle. What are the main differences and similarities between each portrayal? Your response should be about 150 words.
Answer:
When the ships have for the last time weighed their anchors near the city of [Cowes] in Old England, the real misery begins with the long voyage. For from there the ships, unless they have good wind, must often sail 8, 9, 10 to 12 weeks before they reach Philadelphia. But even with the best wind the voyage lasts 7 weeks.
But during the voyage there is on board these ships terrible misery, stench, fumes, horror, vomiting, many kinds of sea-sickness, fever, dysentery, headache, heat, constipation, boils, scurvy, cancer, mouth-rot, and the like all of which come from old and sharply salted food and meat, also from very bad and foul water, so that many die miserably.
Add to this want of provisions, hunger, thirst, frost, heat, dampness, anxiety, want, afflictions and lamentations, together with other trouble, as c. v. the lice abound so frightfully, especially on sick people, that they can be. scraped off the body. The misery reaches the climax when a gale rages for 2 or 3 nights and days, so that every one believes that the ship will go to 'the bottom with all human beings on board. In such a-visitation the people cry and pray most piteously. . . .
I myself had to pass through a severe illness at sea, and I best know how I felt at the time. These poor people often long for consolation, and I often entertained and comforted them with singing, praying and exhorting; and whenever it was possible and the winds and waves permitted it, I kept daily prayer-meetings with them on deck. Besides, I baptized five children in distress, because we had no ordained minister on board. I also held divine service every Sunday by reading sermons to the people; and when the dead were sunk in the water, I commended them and our souls to the mercy of God.
Among the healthy, impatience sometimes grows so great and cruel that one curses the other, or himself and the day of his birth, and sometimes come near killing each other. Misery and malice join each other, so that they cheat and rob one another. One always reproaches the other with having persuaded him to undertake the journey. Frequently children cry out against their parents, husbands against their wives and wives against their husbands, brothers and sisters, friends and acquaintances against each other. But most against the soul-traffickers.
Many sigh and cry: "Oh, that I were at home again, and if I had to lie in my pig-sty!" Or they say: "0 God, if I only had a piece of good bread, or a good fresh drop of water." Many people whimper, sigh and cry piteously for their homes; most of them get home-sick. Many hundred people necessarily die and perish in such misery, and must be cast into the sea, which drives their relatives, or those who persuaded them to undertake the journey, to such despair that it is almost impossible to pacify and console them. In a word, the sighing and crying and lamenting on board the ship continues night and day, so as to cause the hearts even of the most hardened to bleed when they hear it. . . .

Answer the following questions from one of three points of view: a child’s, the poet’s, or your personal point of view.
What does Dickinson ask and tell the reader in the first stanza?
How does a “Somebody” behave like a frog?
What other ideas does the comparison suggest?
Answer:
Point of view: personal
In the first stanza, Dickinson, through the narrator, tells the reader that she’s “Nobody” and asks the reader who he or she is and whether he or she is a “Nobody” like her.
Just as a frog's constant croaking advertises its presence, a “Somebody” will grab attention through speaking and outward behavior. By comparing a “Somebody” to a frog, Dickinson suggests that this type of person does not really have any qualities or skills that make him or her worth noticing—this person is as dull as a croaking frog.
Being a modest and thoughtful “Nobody” is preferable to being a “Somebody” who simply makes a lot of noise to get attention.
