Explanation:

Hazel shares with Augustus the Emily Dickinson poem where Peter Van Houten had found the title of his book. Read the poem. Explain how the line and the poem, itself, represents Van Houten’s book (the title of his book: An Imperial Affliction - talks about cancer).


There's a certain slant of light,

On winter afternoons, That oppresses, like the weight

Of cathedral tunes.


Heavenly hurt it gives us;

We can find no scar,

But internal difference

Where the meanings are.


None may teach it anything,

'Tis the seal, despair,-

An imperial affliction

Sent us of the air.


When it comes, the landscape listens,

Shadows hold their breath;

When it goes,'tis like the distance

On the look of death.

Read the excerpt from "Opening Ceremonies of the New York and Brooklyn Bridge" by Hon. Seth Low, Mayor of the City of Brooklyn.


In the course of the construction of the Bridge a number of lives have been lost. Does it not sometimes seem as though every work of enduring value, in the material as in the moral world, must needs be purchased at the cost of human life? Let us recall with kindness at this hour the work of those who labored here faithfully unto the death, no less than of that great army of men who have wrought, year in and year out, to execute the great design. Let us give our meed of praise to-day to the humblest workman who has here done his duty well, no less than to the great engineer who told him what to do.


Which of the following best summarizes the central idea of this excerpt?


The mayor gently lectures on the importance of speaking kindly about those who have died.

The mayor commemorates and gives praise to those who were killed while building the bridge.

Low gives a monotonous explanation of the costs of the materials that were purchased for the bridge.

Low remembers those humble men who labored intensely and faithfully to execute this dream.

I am fourteen

and my skin has betrayed me

the boy I cannot live without

still sucks his thumb

in secret

how come my knees are

always so ashy

what if I die

before morning

and momma's in the bedroom

with the door closed.



I have to learn how to dance

in time for the next party

my room is too small for me

suppose I die before graduation

they will sing sad melodies

but finally

tell the truth about me

There is nothing I want to do

and too much

that has to be done

and momma's in the bedroom

with the door closed.



Nobody even stops to think

about my side of it

I should have been on Math Team

my marks were better than his

why do I have to be

the one

wearing braces

I have nothing to wear tomorrow

will I live long enough

to grow up

and momma's in the bedroom

with the door closed

How is alliteration helpful to understanding the theme of a text?

The idea of invisible ink had been around for a long time. Write using lemon juice as ink, for instance, and the writing will be invisible. Heat the paper, and the writing will appear, looking as if it were written in brown ink. British agents used two types of ink. One could be made visible by holding the paper over the flame of a candle; the other could be read by applying a common chemical. Major John Andre, the chief British intelligence officer in New York, told his agents to put an F in the corner of letters containing invisible ink needing fire to read and A for those needing acid.

The author’s main purpose in this excerpt is toexplain the use of invisible ink during the American Revolution.

Read the excerpt from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's "I Have a Dream" speech.


[1] I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.


[2] Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.


[3] But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free; one hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination; one hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity; one hundred years later, the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself in exile in his own land.


Which phrase from the text provides the best context clue to determine the meaning of "manacles" in paragraph 3?


One hundred years later

Chains of discrimination

Lonely island of poverty

Vast ocean of material prosperity
