read the poem:
Come up from the fields father, here’s a letter from our Pete,
And come to the front door mother, here’s a letter from thy
dear son.

Lo, ’tis autumn,
Lo, where the trees, deeper green, yellower and redder,
Cool and sweeten Ohio’s villages, with leaves fluttering in the
moderate wind,
Where apples ripe in the orchards hang and grapes on the
trellis’d vines,
(Smell you the smell of the grapes on the vines?
Smell you the buckwheat where the bees were lately buzzing?)

Above all, lo, the sky so calm, so transparent after the rain, and with
wondrous clouds,
Below too, all calm, all vital and beautiful, and the farm
prospers well.

Down in the fields all prospers well,
But now from the fields come father, come at the daughter’s call,
And come to the entry mother, to the front door come right away.

Fast as she can she hurries, something ominous, her steps trembling,
She does not tarry to smooth her hair nor adjust her cap.

Open the envelope quickly,
O this is not our son’s writing, yet his name is sign’d,
O a strange hand writes for our dear son, O stricken
mother’s soul!

All swims before her eyes, flashes with black, she catches the
main words only,
Sentences broken, gunshot wound in the breast, cavalry
skirmish, taken to hospital,
At present low, but will soon be better.

Ah now the single figure to me,
Amid all teeming and wealthy Ohio with all its cities and
farms,
Sickly white in the face and dull in the head, very faint,
By the jamb of a door leans.

Grieve not so, dear mother, (the just-grown daughter speaks
through her sobs,
The little sisters huddle around speechless and dismay’d,)
See, dearest mother, the letter says Pete will soon be better.

Alas poor boy, he will never be better, (nor maybe needs to be
better, that brave and simple soul,)
While they stand at home at the door he is dead already,
The only son is dead.

But the mother needs to be better,
She with thin form presently drest in black,
By day her meals untouch’d, then at night fitfully sleeping,
often waking,
In the midnight waking, weeping, longing with one deep
longing,
O that she might withdraw unnoticed, silent from life escape
and withdraw,
To follow, to seek, to be with her dear dead son.

How does the language of the poem evoke a sense of a bygone time and place, specifically nineteenth century America?


The poem's references to places and people are ones that existed in that period, but which do not exist today.

The poem's depiction of the mother's sadness indicates a frailty or weakness that was commonly assigned to women in this period.

The poem's explanations of the family's reaction suggest an ignorance or an innocence that people today would not exhibit.

The poem's descriptions of the farm focus on natural elements, but make no mention of man-made tools or equipment.

A Formidable Hunter
I remember well the great horned owl that sat on the windowsill of my kindergarten classroom. It was stuffed, of course, but quite imposing nonetheless. This grand specimen was nearly two feet long — with brown, white and rusty red feathers. Its yellow eyes were large and perfectly round, giving it a wise look. Its talons were thick and sharp, and on its brow two curved feathers stuck up, looking just like two horns. I got the impression that this bird was a great hunter.

Of the 145 species of owl, the great horned is the largest. Owls live in most parts of the world, ranging from tropical to subarctic climates. The elf owl is the smallest at only six inches, but no matter what their size, all owls are good hunters. They hunt under cover of night, so their prey can't see them. Unlike other birds, owls have large, soft feathers that allow them to fly without making noise, which also makes them good predators. Farmers like owls because they keep pests such as mice, voles, rats and even rabbits from their crops and stores of grain. And they have hearty appetites. Henry Williamson, a farmer in England, had eleven barn owls on his farm. He kept careful watch on their hunting habits and was astounded to find that together they ate 150 mice each night! While farmers may be grateful to owls, owners of cats and small dogs should beware: owls have been known to pluck up small pets that unknowingly wander into the birds' hunting zones.


Select the correct answer.
Why might it be difficult to keep an owl as a pet?

A.
Owls need to eat a lot of fresh mice daily.
B.
Owl feathers need a great deal of care.
C.
Owls need to live in subarctic temperatures.
D.
Owls need to sleep during the day.
