Read the excerpt from “Run, Kate Shelley, Run.”

It was nearly eleven o’clock when Kate heard Number 11’s whistle. Long, short—long, short—screaming into the wind. The rumble of the engine grew louder as it crept along the line from Moingona to Boone, checking for washouts on the track. Suddenly Kate heard a crack like thunder, and another and another. With a sound like cannon fire, the Honey Creek trestle bridge, the engine, and four terrified crewmen crashed into the roaring water twenty feet below.

Kate pulled on her barn coat and a battered straw hat. “I’m going,” she said.

Kate’s mother gripped her arm. “No, Kate. You could be killed in that storm!”

Kate grabbed Pa’s railroad lantern. “If Pa were out there, I’d go,” she said. “I have to do it, Ma.” With shaking hands, she lit the lantern and ran into the downpour and darkness to Honey Creek.

What inference can be made based on the details in the excerpt and what the reader has learned so far?

The memory of her father gives Kate strength to try to help.

The bridge collapses because it is struck by lightning.

Kate’s mother respects her daughter’s decision to act and is sure she will succeed.

Identifying Theme 2
Directions: read each short story and determine the theme or message in the story. Remember
that a good answer will focus on big world lessons, not small world details of the story.
Even though they were sisters, Suzie and June were nothing alike. If Suzie wanted to jump rope,
June wanted to play hopscotch. If June wanted to watch soap operas, Suzie wanted to watch talk
shows. Tensions rose to the point that the girls could no longer stand one another’s company. It
seemed that they had nothing in common, until the day that progress reports went home. On the
bus the girls were startled by how upset the other looked. They realized that they were both
failing a subject. Suzie was failing math and June was failing reading. Since both girls wanted to
pass their classes, they agreed to help one another. So after school for the next few weeks, Suzie
tutored June in reading and then June tutored Suzie in math. By the time report cards were
distributed, Suzie and June were passing all their classes. The girls were delighted, but their
mother was happiest of all. Not just because her daughters had passed their classes, but because
they learned to be good sisters.

All Victor ever wanted to do with his life was be a singer. He didn't pay attention in school, and
he spent all his time at home listening to music and impersonating his idols. His mother tried to
teach him the value of getting an education and having a backup plan. But Victor would respond
the same way every time, "Mom, I won't need to know any of that boring old stuff when I'm
famous. You'll see." There was one major problem with Victor's plan: he wasn't any good at
singing. Victor enjoyed singing so much that he didn't notice the pained look on the faces of
those who endured his singing. Some lied to him and said they liked his singing. Other people
told him to find something else to do with his life. Victor accused those people of being "jealous
haters" and ignored their advice. Soon Victor dropped out of high school to focus on his music
career. The years passed and the doors never opened.
