night it is 8.57 so night

PARAGRAPH 126 - “Seaward Pines is a d**b school,” I blurt. “I’ll hate it. And I hate Papi, too.” PARAGRAPH 127- Roli sighs. He’s quiet for a long while, which makes me uncomfortable. My brother has always been strangely good at reading my mind. Can’t he see how awful it felt to be unimportant, to watch Papi stand there like a chump? PARAGRAPH 128- “What did you want Papi to do, Merci? Pitch a fit and blow your free ride?” PARAGRAPH 129-Without warning, tears spring to my eyes. He pretends not to notice. Instead, he cups my scalp with his enormous hand and gives a squeeze. “Try to let this idea into your thick cranium. Papi chose to be invisible today so that you won’t ever have to be.” QUESTION: What character traits best describes Merci? Use R.A.C.E.C.E to respond.

In 2008, more than one million American students gave nearly 20 million service hours to their communities. They made a difference in people’s lives and learned some important life lessons in the process. Organizations, including schools, are actively promoting service for all citizens as a way to be involved, help others, and improve themselves. Service is helping other people and being active in your community. For example, one group of teens planted a community garden with their friends. They grow a variety of vegetables. The garden requires regular care. The teens donate the produce to a local soup kitchen. Workers there use the produce to help feed people in the community. By tending the garden and donating their produce, the teens are actively helping make life a bit better for others in their community. Service is valuable in ways that cannot be measured in dollars. People volunteer or serve others without expecting money or gifts in return. Service is not about earning money. It is not just collecting money to give to a group. It is about action and contributing to the common good. The people who serve as well as those who receive help benefit in many ways that are more important than money or gifts. For example, a soup kitchen provides essential food to people who may otherwise go hungry. The soup kitchen is extremely valuable for those struggling to get enough to eat. Those serving learn about compassion and how helping others can improve life for all. Millions of Americans are making society better for themselves and for others. They are participating citizens in their community, raising up those who are less fortunate. In return, they become better people who can understand the perspectives and needs of others, which are invaluable and important qualities of good citizens. Which sentence best represents the main idea of paragraph (2), the first body paragraph? They made a difference in people's lives and learned some important life lessons in the process.

Ethan was playing with his dog, Tim, in the backyard, when Tim's eyes caught some movement in the bushes near the fence. Ethan slowly moved toward the bushes and was surprised to see a furry brown kitten hiding among them. Ethan picked up the kitten and went indoors, and inquisitive Tim, who was curious to know what Ethan had found, followed. Ethan fed the kitten some warm milk and placed it inside a cardboard box.
For the next few days, Ethan looked after the kitten with the utmost care, while Tim remained alert and carefully observed from a distance with his vigilant eyes. Initially, the kitten was quiet and seemed scared, and Tim, who did not look very pleased, kept sniffing around it. But within a couple of days, the kitten became friendly and playful, and Tim, too, seemed happy to have found a playmate.

Passage 1

Orpheus and Eurydice
adapted from Old Greek Folk Stories Told Anew by Josephine Preston Peabody

1 When gods and shepherds piped and the stars sang, that was the day of musicians! But the triumph of Apollo himself was not so wonderful as the triumph of a mortal man who lived on earth. This was Orpheus, that best of harpers, who went with the Grecian heroes of the great ship Argo in search of the Golden Fleece.
2 After returning from the quest, he won the lovely Eurydice for his wife, and they were as happy as people can be who love each other and everyone else. The very wild animals loved them, and the trees clustered about their home. But one day misfortune came upon that harper Orpheus whom all men loved to honor.
3 Eurydice, his lovely wife, as she was wandering, unwittingly trod upon a serpent in the grass. She died of the sting, and was lost to him in the Underworld.
4 For days he wandered around despondently, singing the story of his loss and his despair to the helpless passers-by. His grief moved everyone and roused the hearts of savage beasts. Even the gods on Mount Olympus gave ear, but they held no power over the darkness of Hades.
5 Wherever Orpheus wandered with his lyre, no one had the will to forbid him entrance; and at length he found unguarded that cave that leads to the Underworld where Pluto rules the spirits of the dead. He went down without fear. He crossed the river Styx, and Charon, the harsh old ferryman who takes the Shades across, forgot to ask of him the coin that every soul must pay. For Orpheus sang. There in the Underworld the song of Apollo would not have moved the poor ghosts so much. But here was a human singer, and he sang of things that grow in every human heart, youth and love and death, the sweetness of the Earth, and the bitterness of losing aught that is dear to us.
6 Even the Furies were moved to pity. So, among a crowd of eager ghosts, Orpheus came, singing with all his heart, before the king and queen of Hades. And the queen Proserpina wept as she listened and grew homesick, remembering the fields of Enna and the growing of the wheat, and her own beautiful mother, Demeter. Then Pluto gave way.
7 They called Eurydice and she came, like a young guest unused to the darkness of the Underworld. She was to return with Orpheus, but on one condition. If he turned to look at her once before they reached the upper air, he must lose her again and go back to the world alone.
8 Filled with joy to finally be with his wife, Orpheus hastened on the way, thinking only of Eurydice, who was following him. Past Lethe, across the Styx they went, he and his lovely wife. But the place was full of gloom, the silence weighed upon him, he had not seen her for so long; her footsteps made no sound; and he could hardly believe the miracle. When the first gleam of daylight broke through to the dismal world, he forgot all, save that he must know if she still followed. He turned to see her face, and the promise was broken!
9 She smiled at him forgivingly, but it was too late. He stretched out his arms to take her, but she faded from them, as the bright snow, that none may keep, melts in our very hands. A murmur of farewell came to his ears,—no more. She was gone.
10 He would have followed, but Charon, now on guard, drove him back. Seven days he lingered there between the worlds of life and death, but after the broken promise, Hades would not listen to his song. Back to the Earth he wandered, though it was sweet to him no longer. He died young, singing to the last her name, and round about the place where his body rested, nightingales nested in the trees.


Passage 2


adapted from Orpheus
by William Shakespeare

Orpheus with his lute made trees
And the mountain tops that freeze
Bow themselves when he did sing:
To his music plants and flowers
Ever sprung; as sun and showers
5 There had made a lasting spring.
Every thing that heard him play,
Even the billows of the sea,
Hung their heads and then lay by.
In sweet music is such art,
10 Killing care, and grief of heart
Fall asleep, or hearing, die.
