Nights and Dragons—
From the memoir of author Abigail Prynne
I could have given up, but I thought about my grandmother. She always told me that "people who believe that science is the answer to everything are missing out on everything else." With her words in mind, I searched some more. There were many facts that hinted that dragons may not be fictional. I noticed that cultures across the world all described dragons in similar ways. This was odd because they had no way to communicate with each other. I found dragons mentioned in more than just stories. They appeared in old legal papers, in the travel logs of Marco Polo, and in the Bible. I saw that the Chinese calendar uses a different animal each year. Dragons are included along with eleven real animals. I began to believe it was a real possibility that all of these people were talking about a creature that actually existed.

List three details from the text that support the main idea. (5 points)

Answer:

Don't give up ("I could have given up")

Don't believe everything you here ("'people who believe that science is the answer to everything are missing out on everything else"')

All cultures are different ("I noticed that cultures across the world all described dragons in similar ways")

Even animals are different too ("Dragons are included along with eleven real animals")

Cultures are all over the place ("I began to believe it was a real possibility that all of these people were talking about a creature that actually existed")

Explanation:

Answer:

The first detail is "She always told me that "people who believe that science is the answer to everything are missing out on everything else." since science is not the answer to everything. The second one is "I noticed that cultures across the world all described dragons in similar ways. This was odd because they had no way to communicate with each other." showing that if they couldn't communicate with each other, then they might have seen/had evidence that dragons existed once if they described them in similar ways. The final one is "I saw that the Chinese calendar uses a different animal each year. Dragons are included along with eleven real animals." showing that if all the other animals were real, then it was a possibility that dragons were real once too.

What are the characteristics of absurdist literature

Act 1, Scene 2. Pgs. 42-44

Oh, that this too, too sullied flesh would melt,
130
Thaw, and resolve itself into a dew,
Or that the Everlasting had not fixed
His canon 'gainst self-slaughter! O God, God!
How weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable
Seem to me all the uses of this world!
135
Fie on ’t, ah fie! 'Tis an unweeded garden
That grows to seed. Things rank and gross in nature
Possess it merely. That it should come to this.
But two months dead—nay, not so much, not two.
So excellent a king, that was to this
140
Hyperion to a satyr. So loving to my mother
That he might not beteem the winds of heaven
Visit her face too roughly.—Heaven and earth,
Must I remember? Why, she would hang on him
As if increase of appetite had grown
145
By what it fed on, and yet, within a month—
Let me not think on ’t. Frailty, thy name is woman!—
A little month, or ere those shoes were old
With which she followed my poor father’s body,
Like Niobe, all tears. Why she, even she—
150
O God, a beast that wants discourse of reason
Would have mourned longer!—married with my uncle,
My father’s brother, but no more like my father
Than I to Hercules. Within a month,
Ere yet the salt of most unrighteous tears
155
Had left the flushing in her gallèd eyes,
She married. O most wicked speed, to post
With such dexterity to incestuous sheets!
It is not nor it cannot come to good,
But break, my heart, for I must hold my tongue.

Like a boil that can never be cured as long as it is covered up but must be opened with all its pus-flowing ugliness to the natural medicines of air and light, injustice must likewise be exposed, with all of the tension its exposing creates, to the light of human conscience and the air of national opinion before it can be cured.

Read the excerpt from "Fulton Fish Market."

Alfred was thrilled on his walk home. Passing the Brooklyn Bridge, which was just starting to be built, he almost yelped for joy. But he hadn't won the battle yet. For the next three weeks Alfred and Mr. Zanetti played out the same scenario. Alfred would wait for his chance to help when Mr. Zanetti was busy with something else, and then scurry back to the curb when Mr. Zanetti turned his cold, hard stare on him. But every night, Mr. Zanetti would flick a nickel at Alfred's feet.

Alfred and Mr. Zanetti are similar because

they are both looking for jobs.
they don't understand each other.
they aren't very interested in fish.
they both know what the other is doing.
