THE VOYAGES OF DOCTOR DOLITTLE
By Hugh Lofting

Chapter 1: The Cobbler's Son
My name was Tommy Stubbins, son of Jacob Stubbins, the cobbler of Puddleby-on-the-Marsh; and I was nine and a half years old. At that time Puddleby was only quite a small town. A river ran through the middle of it; and over this river there was a very old stone bridge, called Kingsbridge, which led you from the market-place on one side to the churchyard on the other.

Sailing-ships came up this river from the sea and anchored near the bridge. I used to go down and watch the sailors unloading the ships upon the river-wall. The sailors sang strange songs as they pulled upon the ropes; and I learned these songs by heart. And I would sit on the river-wall with my feet dangling over the water and sing with the men, pretending to myself that I too was a sailor.

For I longed always to sail away with those brave ships when they turned their backs on Puddleby Church and went creeping down the river again, across the wide lonely marshes to the sea. I longed to go with them out into the world to seek my fortune in foreign lands—Africa, India, China and Peru! When they got round the bend in the river and the water was hidden from view, you could still see their huge brown sails towering over the roofs of the town, moving onward slowly—like some gentle giants that walked among the houses without noise. What strange things would they have seen, I wondered, when next they came back to anchor at Kingsbridge! And, dreaming of the lands I had never seen, I'd sit on there, watching till they were out of sight.

Which element of the description of Puddleby is most significant to the plot of the story so far?

That it had a marketplace and a cemetery
That it had an old stone bridge named for a king
That a river ran through the middle of it
That it was quite small in size

A very important element of the description is the old stone bridge with the name of a king, as shown in the second answer option.

The narrator of the text has a great interest in pirates and the scenario of this narrator's city stimulated this interest by having an old bridge where the narrator could observe the pirates and admire them.

Many kids want to have social media accounts, but adults worry that
social media access may lead to bullying or put kids into online
situations they don't know how to deal with. Do you think that there
should be an age limit for social media access? Prepare a presentation
to your local parenting group explaining why there should or should not
be an age limit for social media accounts.
Which claim most appropriately responds to the requirements of the prompt?
O A. There should be an age limit for social media accounts, because
nothing you do online can be totally erased, and young kids need
the freedom to experiment offline without creating a permanent
record.
B. There are good arguments on both sides of the debate about kids
and social media, and families and online communities need to
decide for themselves whether to restrict kids' access, allow kids
with supervision, or just let anyone join without checking their age.
C. The Internet can be a chaotic and challenging place, and most
kids do not yet have the maturity to know how to behave in ways
that keep them safe and avoid doing harm to others.
D. The question of age limits for social media services is a new one,
and adults in previous generations never had to decide whether
kids should be allowed to have active social lives online.

What images does Thomas create with his words in this stanza (what do you see in your head based on his descriptions)?:

DO Not Go Gentle poem

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
