I need help with an introductory paragraph that is due or I will fail this class with a 27% it needs to be 3 to 4 sentences.

How does the donkey change? What is happening to the girls?

Practice reading the following excerpt for fluency and give a summary of the intended meaning of the paragraph:

Joe Traynor is a California bee broker. From a small office in a quiet side street in downtown Bakersfield, on the southern tip of Central Valley, he runs a lucrative business matching almond growers with beekeepers. I put to him that surely all this moving around of bees, confined to their hives for long periods, must be stressful for them. He admits that too much travel is not good for their health: "When you're trucking bees, they need sleep, just as humans do, and the bumping around in the truck for two to three days keeps them awake, and this lowers their resistance to pests and disease."

Please answer soon! Thanks!

Read this excerpt from A Short Walk around the Pyramids and through the World of Art by Philip Isaacson.

The traditional art of African nations is a wonderful part of the world's art. Like the art of all people who live in groups called tribes—the people of the Pacific islands, the Native Americans, the Eskimos, the Indians of the Northwest Coast of Canada—it was once called primitive art. But it isn't primitive. It isn't primitive in its shape or in the way it is made or in the deep feelings it expresses.

Isaacson's purpose is

A. to inform the reader about traditional art; his tone is formal.
B. to persuade the reader to buy traditional art; his tone is formal.
C. to entertain the reader with humorous traditional stories; his tone is informal.
D. to convince the reader to create traditional art; his tone is informal.

2 “Now, Valentine,” said the warden, “you’ll go out in the morning. Brace up, and make a man of yourself. You’re not a bad fellow at heart. Stop cracking safes, and live straight.”

3 “Me?” said Jimmy, in surprise. “Why, I never cracked a safe in my life.”

4 “Oh, no,” laughed the warden. “Of course not. Let’s see, now. How was it you happened to get sent up on that Springfield job? Was it because you wouldn’t prove an alibi for fear of compromising somebody in extremely high-toned society? Or was it simply a case of a mean old jury that had it in for you? It’s always one or the other with you innocent victims.”

5 “Me?” said Jimmy, still blankly virtuous. “Why, warden, I never was in Springfield in my life!”

6 “Take him back, Cronin!” said the warden, “and fix him up with outgoing clothes. Unlock him at seven in the morning, and let him come to the bull-pen. Better think over my advice, Valentine.”

1) Choose the best answer.

What inference can you make from paragraphs 2-6?

The warden wants Jimmy to stay in prison because they get along.

Jimmy really believes he is innocent.

The warden is trying to frame Jimmy.

Jimmy is using verbal irony, or sarcasm, by saying he has never cracked a safe.

1 A guard came to the prison shoe-shop, where Jimmy Valentine was assiduously [diligently] stitching uppers, and escorted him to the front office. There the warden handed Jimmy his pardon, which had been signed that morning by the governor. Jimmy took it in a tired kind of way. He had served nearly ten months of a four year sentence. He had expected to stay only about three months, at the longest. When a man with as many friends on the outside as Jimmy Valentine had is received in the “stir” it is hardly worthwhile to cut his hair.

8 The clerk handed him a railroad ticket and the five-dollar bill with which the law expected him to rehabilitate [restore] himself into good citizenship and prosperity. The warden gave him a cigar, and shook hands. Valentine, 9762, was chronicled on the books, “Pardoned by Governor,” and Mr. James Valentine walked out into the sunshine. [Pardon means to release from the penalty of an offense]

2) Choose the best answer.

Putting together the clues in paragraphs 1 and 8, how did Jimmy get out of jail after serving only ten months of a four-year sentence?

The warden was worried for Jimmy's safety in the prison, so they released him early.

He was proven to be innocent.

He convinced the warden to let him out early.

Jimmy has influential "friends" who got the governor to pardon him.

9 A week after the release of Valentine, 9762, there was a neat job of safe-burglary done in Richmond, Indiana, with no clue to the author. A scant eight hundred dollars was all that was secured. Two weeks after that a patented, improved, burglar-proof safe in Logansport was opened like a cheese to the tune of fifteen hundred dollars, currency; securities and silver untouched. That began to interest the rogue-catchers [criminal-catchers]. Then an old-fashioned bank-safe in Jefferson City became active and threw out of its crater an eruption of bank-notes amounting to five thousand dollars. The losses were now high enough to bring the matter up into Ben Price’s class of work. By comparing notes, a remarkable similarity in the methods of the burglaries was noticed. Ben Price investigated the scenes of the robberies, and was heard to remark:

3) Choose the best answer.

What inference can you make from paragraph 9?

Jimmy has resumed his old ways of safecracking.

Ben Price has given up searching for Jimmy Valentine.

Someone else has taken Jimmy's place as expert safecracker.

Jimmy Valentine has reformed his ways.

Write a gist statement for paragraph 1 for "The Medicine Bag"

My kid sister Cheryl and I always bragged about our Sioux grandpa, Joe Iron Shell. Our friends, who had always lived in the city and only knew about Indians from movies and TV, we're impressed by our stories. Maybe we exaggerated and made Grandpa and the reservation sound glamorous, but when we’d return home to Iowa after our yearly summer visit to Grandpa, we always had some exciting tale to tell.

Read the legend titled "The Bird Chief."

All the birds were called together. To them was said, “Whichever one of you can fly farthest into the sky shall be chief.”

All the birds flew to a great height. But Wren got under the thick feathers of Eagle and sat there as Eagle flew. When all the birds became wing-tired, they flew down again; but Eagle flew still higher. When Eagle had gone as far as he could, Wren flew still higher.

When all the birds reached the ground, Eagle alone returned, after a great while. Behold! Wren only was absent. So they awaited him. At last he returned. Eagle had too highly been thinking of himself, being sure of being made chief; and behold! Wren was made chief.

The purpose of this legend is most likely to teach a lesson related to

the intelligence of different birds.
the dangers of being too proud.
the importance of doing your best.
the thrill of getting ahead in life.

Read this excerpt from Blanca Flor by Angel Vigil.

THE NARRATOR
When Blanca Flor saw Don Ricardo, she reached into her bag and took out a mirror, the final object in the bag. She threw the mirror into the middle of the road. Instantly, the mirror became a large lake, its waters so smooth and still that it looked like a mirror as it reflected the sky and clouds. When Don Ricardo got to the lake, all he saw was two ducks, a male and a female, swimming peacefully in the middle of the lake. Suddenly, the ducks lifted off the lake and flew away. As they flew away, Don Ricardo knew that the ducks were Juanito and Blanca Flor, and that they were beyond his grasp.

Which theme does this excerpt support?

Blanca Flor and Juanito escape with the use of magic.
Magic happens in folktales.
Blanca Flor and Juanito have escaped Don Ricardo.
Good will triumph over evil.
