Read this excerpt from “President Ronald Reagan's Address to the Nation” following the explosion of the Challenger space shuttle. I've always had great faith in and respect for our space program, and what happened today does nothing to diminish it. We don't hide our space program. We don't keep secrets and cover things up. We do it all up front and in public. That's the way freedom is, and we wouldn't change it for a minute. We'll continue our quest in space. There will be more shuttle flights and more shuttle crews and, yes, more volunteers, more civilians, more teachers in space. Nothing ends here; our hopes and our journeys continue. I want to add that I wish I could talk to every man and woman who works for NASA or who worked on this mission and tell them: “Your dedication and professionalism have moved and impressed us for decades. And we know of your anguish. We share it.” There's a coincidence today. On this day 390 years ago, the great explorer Sir Francis Drake died aboard a ship off the coast of Panama. In his lifetime the great frontiers were the oceans, and an historian later said, “He lived by the sea, died on it, and was buried in it.” Well, today we can say of the Challenger crew: Their dedication was, like Drake's, complete. Which line from the excerpt is an example of evidence in a persuasive speech? Your dedication and professionalism have moved and impressed us for decades. On this day 390 years ago, the great explorer Sir Francis Drake died aboard a ship off the coast of Panama. Well, today we can say of the Challenger crew: Their dedication was, like Drake's, complete. I've always had great faith in and respect for our space program, and what happened today does nothing to diminish it.

Read the text and answer the following question(s).

Painter of Light

Thomas Kinkade is known for his gift of painting light. Splashes of light ranging in color from creamy white to sunny yellow litter his paintings. No other artist has captured light in its many forms, hues, and patterns like the inimitable Thomas Kinkade. Because of his talent, he is recognized as America's most collected artist.


In 1958, Thomas Kinkade was born in Sacramento, California. From 1976 to 1978, Kinkade attended the University of California, receiving his formal training at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. The summer after graduation, he embarked on a sketching tour with a college friend, James Gurney. In 1982, he married his childhood sweetheart, Nanette, and co–authored The Artist's Guide to Sketching with Gurney. He and Gurney went on to be employed by Ralph Bakshi Studios to create background art for the animated feature Fire and Ice. From 1984 to 1989, Kinkade published many paintings, so that by 1994, he was a published artist in his own right. That year, he earned the honorary title of Artist of the Year from the National Association of Limited Edition Dealers (NALED). An era in landscape artistry had begun that would make a lasting impression in art history. He went on to publish more art books and receive more recognition, collecting fans as rapidly as they collected his works.


One of the unique qualities of Kinkade's work is that he hides messages to his wife and daughters in each painting. For example, for his wife Nanette, he paints a hidden letter "N" in each piece. His four daughters' names, as well as their faces, also appear in his works. Some people say that Kinkade is a passing craze of the twenty–first century; however, it is clear that he has staying power in the art world. His works soothe the senses and inspire the mind because he captures the essence of light, the force on which human life thrives.


Landscape Art

Landscape art is a form of escapism. That is, it allows the viewer to escape into another world of beautiful scenery that is easy on the eyes and induces peace of mind. Thomas Kinkade is a good example of a landscape artist whose work has this effect. His ability to paint light shows his profound understanding of what is lovely to the human eye.


Modern Art Critics

Thomas Kinkade's influence on modern art will be minimal. His art is merely decorative and faddish and will only be a flash in the pan of art history. The only reason he is so popular is that he captures on canvas the scenes that relax and pacify us during a turbulent time in American history .Which sentence from the text best reveals the cause of Thomas Kinkade’s Popularity?

Every morning I lay on the floor in the front parlour watching her door. The blind was pulled down to within an inch of the sash so that I could not be seen. When she came out on the doorstep my heart leaped. I ran to the hall, seized my books and followed her. I kept her brown figure always in my eye and, when we came near the point at which our ways diverged, I quickened my pace and passed her. This happened morning after morning. I had never spoken to her, except for a few casual words, and yet her name was like a summons to all my foolish blood.

Her image accompanied me even in places the most hostile to romance. On Saturday evenings when my aunt went marketing I had to go to carry some of the parcels. We walked through the flaring streets, jostled by drunken men and bargaining women, amid the curses of labourers, the shrill litanies of shop-boys who stood on guard by the barrels of pigs’ cheeks, the nasal chanting of street-singers, who sang a come-all-you about O’Donovan Rossa, or a ballad about the troubles in our native land. These noises converged in a single sensation of life for me: I imagined that I bore my chalice safely through a throng of foes. Her name sprang to my lips at moments in strange prayers and praises which I myself did not understand. My eyes were often full of tears (I could not tell why) and at times a flood from my heart seemed to pour itself out into my bosom. I thought little of the future. I did not know whether I would ever speak to her or not or, if I spoke to her, how I could tell her of my confused adoration. But my body was like a harp and her words and gestures were like fingers running upon the wires.

One evening I went into the back drawing-room in which the priest had died. It was a dark rainy evening and there was no sound in the house. Through one of the broken panes I heard the rain impinge upon the earth, the fine incessant needles of water playing in the sodden beds. Some distant lamp or lighted window gleamed below me. I was thankful that I could see so little. All my senses seemed to desire to veil themselves and, feeling that I was about to slip from them, I pressed the palms of my hands together until they trembled, murmuring: “O love! O love!” many times.

At last she spoke to me. When she addressed the first words to me I was so confused that I did not know what to answer. She asked me was I going to Araby. I forgot whether I answered yes or no. It would be a splendid bazaar, she said she would love to go.

“And why can’t you?” I asked.

While she spoke she turned a silver bracelet round and round her wrist. She could not go, she said, because there would be a retreat that week in her convent. Her brother and two other boys were fighting for their caps and I was alone at the railings. She held one of the spikes, bowing her head towards me. The light from the lamp opposite our door caught the white curve of her neck, lit up her hair that rested there and, falling, lit up the hand upon the railing. It fell over one side of her dress and caught the white border of a petticoat, just visible as she stood at ease.

“It’s well for you,” she said.

“If I go,” I said, “I will bring you something.”

What innumerable follies laid waste my waking and sleeping thoughts after that evening! I wished to annihilate the tedious intervening days. I chafed against the work of school. At night in my bedroom and by day in the classroom her image came between me and the page I strove to read. The syllables of the word Araby were called to me through the silence in which my soul luxuriated and cast an Eastern enchantment over me. I asked for leave to go to the bazaar on Saturday night. My aunt was surprised and hoped it was not some Freemason affair. I answered few questions in class. I watched my master’s face pass from amiability to sternness; he hoped I was not beginning to idle. I could not call my wandering thoughts together. I had hardly any patience with the serious work of life which, now that it stood between me and my desire, seemed to me child’s play, ugly monotonous child’s play.
