Read the excerpt from The Odyssey.

The wind that carried west from Ilium
brought me to Ismarus, on the far shore,
a strongpoint on the coast of Cicones.
I stormed that place and killed the men who fought.
Plunder we took, and we enslaved the women,
to make division, equal shares to all—
but on the spot I told them: 'Back, and quickly!
‘Out to sea again!' My men were mutinous,
fools, on stores of wine. Sheep after sheep they
butchered by the surf, and shambling cattle,
feasting,—while fugitives went inland, running
to call to arms the main force of Cicones.
This was an army, trained to fight on horseback
or, where the ground required, on foot. They came
with dawn over that terrain like the leaves
and blades of spring. So doom appeared to us,
dark word of Zeus for us, our evil days.
My men stood up and made a fight of it—60
backed on the ships, with lances kept in play,
from bright morning through the blaze of noon
so holding our beach, although so far outnumbered;

IRead the excerpt from Gary Soto’s short story "Like Mexicans.”

My grandmother gave me bad advice and good advice when I was in my early teens. For the bad advice, she said that I should become a barber because they made good money and listened to the radio all day. “Honey, they don’t work como burros,” she would say every time I visited her. She made the sound of donkeys braying. “Like that, honey!” For the good advice, she said that I should marry a Mexican girl. “No Okies, hijo”—she would say— “Look, my son. He marry one and they fight every day about I don’t know what and I don’t know what.” For her, everyone who wasn’t Mexican, black, or Asian were Okies. The French were Okies, the Italians in suits were Okies. . . . she lectured me on the virtues of the Mexican girl.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

Passage A
When Dorothy stood in the doorway and looked around, she could see nothing but the great gray prairie on every side. Not a tree nor a house broke the broad sweep of flat country that reached to the edge of the sky in all directions. The sun had baked the plowed land into a gray mass, with little cracks running through it. Even the grass
was not green, for the sun had burned the tops of the long blades until they were the same gray color to be seen everywhere. Once the house had been painted, but the sun blistered the paint and the rains washed it away, and now the house was as dull and gray as everything else.

Passage B
The road was smooth and well paved, now, and the country about was beautiful, so that the travelers rejoiced in leaving the forest far behind, and with it the many dangers they had met in its gloomy shades. Once more they could see fences built beside the road; but these were painted green, and when they came to a small house, in which a farmer evidently lived, that also was painted green.
They passed by several of these houses during the afternoon, and sometimes people came to the doors and looked at them as if they would like to ask questions; but no one came near them nor spoke to them because of the great Lion, of which they were very much afraid. The people were all dressed in clothing of lovely emerald-green color and wore peaked hats like those of the Munchkins.

Questions :
1- What is the most common color of the area around Dorothy’s home?
2-What is the most common color of the surroundings in this passage?
3-What do you think the author is trying to say about the differences in these two places?

My essays were the epitome of good work and they would be read to the
whole class. I was probably proud of myself, even though I didn't really give it
any serious thought. Somehow, my academic success did not do much for my
confidence or give me any self love. I thought I was very ugly and the fact
that my hair was so hard to manage did not make things easier. I used to
describe it as dry grass in winter. After a while, I even stopped combing it. I'd
wash it and dry it, get dressed in my black skirt and white shirt, which were
not as nice as those of the other girls, and off I'd go to school. To top it all,
had knock-knees and big feetil I was just so ugly and awkward I hated
myself. And, my God - I sat in the front desk! Miss-ugly-top-of-the-class.
Our school was one of the blggest high schools in the Eastern Cape and
we had a great school choir that simply collected trophies. I remember
Bulelwa's voice every time I think of our choir. I used to close my eyes and
enjoy listening to her sing. I don't know how many times I wished I had a tape
recorder so that I could tape her voice and have the pleasure of listening to
her for the rest of my life. I must say, I felt great on those rare afternoons
when Bulelwa would come and study with me under the black wattle tree near
the teachers' cottages. I loved that spot. And I also remember that Bulelwa
would stand by me when some of the girls in dormitory teased me about boys.
