James and Noel sat on the steps of their new house. It was going to be a hot day, but the boys preferred sitting outside to unpacking more boxes inside. Their mom was unpacking kitchen stuff, and the boys had grown tired of hearing her exclaim every time she unwrapped another of the teapots she hadn't seen in months.
"You'd think she'd have enough teapots by now," said James.
"Yeah," said Noel, "I don't get that excited about my Godzilla collection and that is way more interesting than any teapot."
"And I'm sorry," said James, "but I know way too much about teapots for a boy my age."
James then started listing all the things he knew about teapots. "There's the spout and the pouring angle," he began. But Noel had already tuned James out. The heat was rising and as tired as he was of his mother's teapots, he was more tired of James' complaining.
Besides, there was a raggedy old dog down the street. Noel could tell, even from far away, this was a dog that belonged to no one. Its coat was matted. It had no collar. All he could see of the dog's face was its nose sticking out. Its coat was all brown, but a dirty, grayish brown, not the deep dark warm brown that made you feel safe.
"And there's that teapot with the flowers. The brown one with the little dots all in a row," James continued on his rant, now listing all the teapots he had unwrapped for Mom. Noel continued ignoring James and watched the dog.
It was moving slowly in their general direction. It stopped at various spots along the curb to smell things. Sometimes the smelling took a very long time. Every now and then it would sit down to scratch behind its ear. Noel wondered if it was looking for something to eat.
James jabbered on and Noel began to wonder how a dog came to be in such a sad condition as this one. Did no one ever want it? Even as a puppy, was this fellow not cute enough to find a good family? Had it always been this ugly? Hadn't anyone ever been kind to it? The dog was across the street now, one house over. It seemed to be particularly attracted to mailboxes and the plants around them. To Noel's mind, it appeared that the dog was greeting each family on the street.
Noel watched the dog cross the street heading in their direction. He hadn't noticed it before, but the dog's head seemed rather large. It swung back and forth in front of its body, much like the bears Noel had seen at the zoo and on television. Noel could not see any eyes through all the matted hair. He could see gnats and flies hovering over the poor thing, waiting for it to sit down again.
It lumbered toward them. Noel noticed that James had stopped talking. He looked over at his brother. Staring at the dog, James seemed to be a bit shocked or surprised, maybe even stunned.
"What is that?" James whispered.
Instead of sniffing their mailbox and moving on like before, the dog started up the sidewalk toward the steps where they were sitting. Noel could hear the flies buzzing and see not just a few gnats, but a whole swarm around the dog. Bits of leaves and twigs hung in its hair. The dog continued toward them. Was it going to stop, wondered Noel. Should I get up and get in the house? But then, just when Noel felt a twinge of panic, the dog sat down, wagged its tail, and smiled. Noel had never seen anything like it before. It was as if the dog, flies and all, were posing for a photographer. It is going to be an interesting summer, thought Noel.

Which of the following best summarizes the character of James as presented in this excerpt? (4 points)

Confused
Grouchy
Honest
Patient

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.

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.

The engine falls into the water because the storm has washed away the tracks.PLZ HELPPP

What social and cultural conflict is O'Connor describing? a. Science vs. Religion c. Past vs. the Present b. Technology vs. People d. Science vs. the Future
