Nonfiction: In mid-November, 1805, Lewis and Clark and their Corps of Discovery finally reached the Pacific Ocean. The expedition had left St. Louis over a year and a half earlier in order to locate the mythical "Northwest Passage," supposedly a series of rivers that would connect the east and west coasts of North America. But it didn't exist, and instead they came upon the jagged peaks of the Rocky Mountains and found only great hardship and suffering. But they persevered and pushed forward to the Pacific, where they hoped to find passage home by ship. With none to be found, they constructed Fort Clatsop and waited through another bitter winter, suffering more misery and sickness, until the weather broke and the Corps of Discovery headed east for St. Louis in late March 1806.
Fiction: The men of the Corps of Discovery scrambled down the sandy dune like children romping in a snowstorm. They charged toward the endless expanse of grey, churning water, as if touching it could erase the struggle and suffering of the last eighteen months. One by one, though, their heads moved from the hypnotic, lapping surf to the space just above the horizon line, searching for a mast or a sail, or any sign of a sailing vessel moving in the distance. And when none could be found, each face glazed over with the understanding that the journey they thought was complete was only halfway done. One by one they turned from the rhythmic, lulling Pacific and faced east, looking at the thick forests and angry mountains they had hoped never to enter again.

First, identify a way in which both accounts are similar. Then explain how information is presented differently in the fictionalized account and what effect the different presentation of events has on the reader.

Explanation:

. A parable is a story that teaches us a life lesson. Write your own parable below that teaches a life lesson. This should include a short story and what the moral of the story is.

In the cold northlands of the Vikings, a child named Sigurd is born. Even before he has come into the world, his father, the king, dies in battle against Odin, one of the gods of the Vikings. Sigurd then becomes the stepson of the new king. When Sigurd is young, the king sends him to live with one of his stepfather’s barons, Regin. Regin is a dwarf, a race of magical creatures who live underground and always want more gold than they can get.
One day in the stables, Regin says, "Sigurd, you are the son of the first king; you are strong. Take your inheritance by force, and you will be king."
Sigurd says, "But the king is kind to me. He gives me whatever I ask."
Regin laughs at Sigurd. He asks, "If this is true, then where is your horse? You cannot be a knight without a horse."
Sigurd says, "It will be easy to get a horse. I will show you." So he sets out to find one.
While selecting a horse to buy, Sigurd is approached by an old man.
"You are Sigurd, son of the king; you must choose this great white stallion. He will never fail you."
Sigurd listens to the old man and picks the horse named Grani, a magical steed. After Sigurd leaves with Grani, the old man reveals himself to be none other than Odin. He has disguised himself so that he could help Sigurd without the young warrior's knowledge.
When Sigurd returns with a magical horse, Regin is furious. Regin devises a plan to rid himself of Sigurd. He tells Sigurd, "This proves nothing. Anyone can buy a horse. Kill the dragon Fafnir and all will know of your valor. And you will have riches beyond any other king."
In order to slay Fafnir, Sigurd asks Regin to make him a wondrous sword. When Regin hands him the sword, Sigurd tests it by striking the anvil on which it was made. The sword breaks, so Sigurd asks for another. The second sword also breaks. Sigurd then asks Regin to make him a sword from the broken pieces of the first two. When Sigurd tests the third sword, it slices through the anvil cleanly.
With his sword, his magical steed, and his strength and wisdom, Sigurd gathers his courage and enters battle against Fafnir. Odin, disguised as the old man, appears before Sigurd and says, "You cannot face him head on; you will be slain. Dig a hole. If you do this, you will defeat him easily."
Once again, Sigurd listens to the old man. When the hole is dug, Sigurd hides in it and yells out a challenge to Fafnir. The dragon comes charging. The ground trembles under the fearsome beast, but Sigurd does not run. When the dragon is over the hole, Sigurd strikes and slays Fafnir with one blow. After his victory, some of the dragon’s power spills into Sigurd. The hero becomes even stronger and goes on to accomplish even greater deeds so that his legend still lives on many years later.

excerpt adapted from
Early Factory Labor in New England
by Harriet H. Robinson

In 1832, Lowell was little more than a factory village. Five "corporations" were started, and the cotton mills belonging to them were building. Help was in great demand and stories were told all over the country of the new factory place, and the high wages that were offered to all classes of work-people. These stories reached the ears of mechanics' and farmers' sons and gave new life to solitary and dependent women in distant towns and farmhouses.

The working hours of all the girls extended from five o'clock in the morning until seven in the evening, with one half-hour each, for breakfast and dinner.

Those of the mill-girls who had homes generally worked from eight to ten months in the year. The rest of the time was spent with parents or friends. A few of these girls taught school during the summer months. Their life in the factory was made pleasant to them. In those days, there was no need of advocating the doctrine of the proper relation between employer and employed. Help was too valuable to be ill-treated.

Passage 2

excerpt from
The Spirit of Discontent
by anonymous

"I will not stay in Lowell any longer; I am determined to give my notice this very day," said Ellen Collins, as the earliest bell was tolling to remind us of the hour for labor.

"Why, what is the matter, Ellen? It seems to me you have dreamed out a new idea! Where do you think of going? and what for?"

"I am going home, where I shall not be obliged to rise so early in the morning, nor be dragged about by the ringing of a bell, nor confined in a close noisy room from morning till night. I will not stay here; I am determined to go home in a fortnight."

"And so, Ellen," said I, "you think it unpleasant to rise so early in the morning and be confined in the noisy mill so many hours during the day. And I think so, too. All this, and much more, is very annoying, no doubt. But we must not forget that there are advantages, as well as disadvantages, in this employment, as in every other. If we expect to find all sunshine and flowers in any station in life, we shall most surely be disappointed. We are very busily engaged during the day; but then we have the evening to ourselves, with no one to dictate to or control us.

Which sentence in the passage uses the definition to help explain the meaning of the word Celts?
Halloween

Halloween is one of the oldest celebrations in the world. In fact, it dates back to before Christianity began. Today, Halloween mainly is celebrated by wearing scary costumes and asking for treats. However, its primary purpose was to remember the dead. It was said to be a day when the spirits would cross over to the next world. Also, the day was originally used to mark the beginning of winter. This tradition was followed by the Celts. This ancient group of people lived in the Bronze Age. Halloween, for them, was rather glum and not a day for rejoicing. Over the years, the holiday became less grim. People began seeing it as a day of celebration. Today, families carve pumpkins to decorate their houses. They also play games, such as bobbing for apples.

“Say your name in Spanish, oh, please say it!” I had made mouths drop one day by rattling off my full name, which, according to Dominican custom, included my middle names, Mother’s and Father’s surnames for four generations back.
