1. I thought I was prepare for what our family would expect on the wide-open planes of the frontier. I was wrong.

2. The letter from Father's brother arrived at our home in Philadelphia on May 1, 1867, coincidentally the Day Nebraska became the 37th state in the Union. Uncle Matthews have been searching for land in Nebraska for 2 years and have secured a land for our family, if we want it. Was father interested?

3. Of course he was interested! Ever since my uncle and his family mood West, it's been all father could talk about—the adventures, the awards of being reaped from working on the land, the freedom, the wide open space. Mother was not so sure about living on the prairie, but she had hitched her dreams to Father's long ago. So it was when we set off with everything we owned tied down to a solitary wagon covered with a large white canvas cloth.

4. weeks later we stood with Uncle Matthew by a small stream on our new land—anchors and anchors of earth blanket with the tall prairie grass. "The first chore," he said "is to build a house." But there was almost no stone to use for construction. The the few trees within sight were not suitable for lumber, Andy clay needed for bricks and scarce.

5. "What kind of house?" I posed out loud.

6. He chuckles ruffling my hair. "A soddie."

7 So a sod house it would be. I was set to cut the long grass short with help of scythe scythe swing back and forth over the land. Mother gather the grass and bundles and use for kindling. Uncle Matthew's hitched a plow called a "grasshopper" to one of the horses and begin cutting strips of sod about 18 in wide and 4 in thick further use an axe to hew bricks of sod.

8. We only cut as much sod as we could use each day and lay the bricks in a criss-cross pattern. We left gaps for the doors and windows. we fashioned the roof of twigs and branches woven together with straw pile on top, and we place more sod above as a final layer.

9. "The canvas from the wagon will come in handy," Uncle Matthew's remarks.

10. "For what." I asked.

11. "We'll hang it inside, under the ceiling. It'll catch dirt and critters that might drop down. unless you rather have them plop into your stew or fall on your bed," he laughed.

12. We hung a horse's like it in the entryway to serve as a door until we could fashion a real one wood, and we use paper grease with animal fat as Windows. The house was just one room, but it was our whole living area—parlor, kitchen, and bedrooms—all in a single place. Cozy was the only word I could think of to describe it at the moment.

13. But during that first year, I also learned that are soddie kept us warm in the winter and cool in the summer. It leaks when it rains and on hot days Mother could pour water on the floor once a week to keep the dust settled. The three of us were crowded but happy, and no one I knew from Philadelphia could walk outside on day in May and see wildflower springing from roof and walls of his house!

Read the excerpt from The Dark Game. Arthur Zimmermann had no idea that "Blinker" Hall had read his secret message. But now that Hall had read it, what could he do with this information? On one hand, he believed that President Wilson, faced with the information in the telegram, would declare war on Germany. On the other hand, to share the telegram with Wilson would surely alert Berlin that the British had been reading their secret messages. As he walked back to his office, Hall considered ways that he could share the intelligence in the Zimmermann telegram and establish its authenticity without letting Berlin know that Room 40 had intercepted and read hundreds of their secret messages. Why was Hall concerned that the Germans would learn about the British reading their secret messages? The Germans would begin reading British secret messages to get revenge. Reading an enemy’s secret messages is against the codes of war. The Germans would then find a different way of transmitting their messages. This knowledge would make the Americans sympathize with the Germans.

STORIES OF USEFUL INVENTIONS, excerpt
By S. E. Forman

1911

THE MATCH

There never was a time when the world was without fire, but there was a time when men did not know how to kindle fire; and after they learned how to kindle one, it was a long, long time before they learned how to kindle one easily. In these days we can kindle a fire without any trouble, because we can easily get a match; but we must remember that the match is one of the most wonderful things in the world, and that it took men thousands of years to learn how to make one. Let us learn the history of this familiar little object, the match.

Fire was first given to man by nature itself. When a forest is set on fire by cinders from a neighboring volcano, or when a tree is set ablaze by a thunderbolt, we may say that nature strikes a match. In the early history of the world, nature had to kindle all the fires, for man by his own effort was unable to produce a spark. The first method, then, of getting fire for use was to light sticks of wood at a flame kindled by nature—by a volcano, perhaps, or by a stroke of lightning. These firebrands were carried to the home and used in kindling the fires there. The fire secured in this way was carefully guarded and was kept burning as long as possible. But the flame, however faithfully watched, would sometimes be extinguished. A sudden gust of wind or a sudden shower would put it out. Then a new firebrand would have to be secured, and this often meant a long journey and a deal of trouble.

In 1827, John Walker, a druggist in a small English town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. The druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. It is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. Although Walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. It could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. In a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. The match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. It would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. This was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar.


What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
Early matches were dangerous and awkward.
John Walker made the first match.
Phosphorus was the key to the modern match.
Walker's match was better than what came before.

A: to highlight the number of Japanese attacks in the Pacific

B: to share information yet keep Americans feeling safe

C: to remind Congress that he previously warned of a possible attack

How does Roosevelt use rhetoric to advance the purpose identified in Part A?

1: He uses overstatement, such as the references to "hostilities" and "grave danger," to stress that he knew the country was in danger.

2: He uses figurative language, describing the day of the attack as one that will "live in infamy," to threaten the Japanese.

3: He uses logical fallacies, such as the phrase "premeditated invasion," to strike fear into the hearts of America's enemies.

4: He employs phrases with charged language, such as "righteous might" and "absolute victory," to make Americans feel secure and confident.

Use the "Day of Infamy" speech by Franklin Delano Roosevelt to answer the questions above.
