Learning to Read and Write by Frederick Douglass
Why did the author’s mistress find his reading newspapers particularly threatening?

Answer:

The mistress was at one point teaching Douglass how to read, but threw it into discontinuance due to the warnings of her husband, which urged her to follow status quo of maintaining illiterate slaves. In the aftermath of this event, the mistress strongly upheld these practices, and exercised her beliefs through the increase of intensity of which she handled the slaves; almost as if to prove her understanding. She disliked when Douglass read newspapers--which he continued to do on his own, despite her break off--as she feared two major possibilites: he and the other slaves would become smart enough to plan a rebellion, paired with the fact that slave rebellions were written in the newspapers and Douglass could have easily read about them.

the film last week.

As the sun angled, the buttes and coulees, the cliffs and sculptured hills and ravines lost their burned and dreadful look and glowed with yellow and rich browns and a hundred variations of red and silver gray, all picked out by streaks of coal black. It was so beautiful that I stopped near a thicket of dwarfed and wind-warped cedars and junipers, and once stopped I was caught, trapped in color and dazzled by the clarity of the light.

This is an excerpt from John Greenleaf Whittier’s 1892 “Brown of Ossawatomie.”

“...The shadows of his stormy life that mo-
ment fell apart;
And they who blamed the bloody hand
forgave the loving heart.
That kiss from all its guilty means re-
deemed the good intent,
And round the grisly fighter's hair the
martyr's aureole bent!...”

This excerpt from Whittier’s poem is in reference to the scene shown in Document Four.

Rafael read the following information on the NASA website while researching for a report about the sun.
The sun is a star, a hot ball of glowing gases at the heart of our solar system. Its influence extends far beyond the orbits of distant Neptune and Pluto. Without the sun’s intense energy and heat, there would be no life on Earth. And though it is special to us, there are billions of stars like our sun scattered across the Milky Way galaxy. If the sun were as tall as a typical front door, the Earth would be the size of a U.S. nickel. The temperature at the sun’s core is about 27 million degrees Fahrenheit.
Which of the following is the best way for Rafael to accurately quote this information in his report while avoiding plagiarism?
Select one:

According to NASA, if you compare the size of the Earth with the size of the sun, the Earth is about the size of a nickel.

The sun is “scattered across the Milky Way galaxy.”

The sun is a “hot” star at the center of our solar system.

According to NASA, “if the sun were as tall as a typical front door, the Earth would be the size of a U.S. nickel.”

Read It!
People are searching the woods, looking through tall grass and under logs. Suddenly, a triumphant cry rings out:
"Turtle!" Then, a hand gently scoops up the creature. It is an eastern box turtle. This was the scene when a squad
of environmentalists, researchers, and others began working against the clock to save eastern box turtles outside
of Washington, DC. The turtles' habitat, hundreds of acres of woods, was scheduled to be paved over for a new
highway. The rescue squad scoured the woods. Turtles found on the expeditions were put on the safe side of a
mesh fence installed to keep them from returning to their old homes.
