Use the paragraph to answer the question.
People fear wolves. While some of their fear is sensible, wolves actually have more to fear from people than people do from wolves. Although wolves are strong and fierce, wolf attacks on humans are very rare. In nearly all cases, they occur only when people provoke or corner wolves. People, on the other hand, have regularly baited and trapped wolves from the earliest of times. In North America, ranchers eliminated thousands of wolves to protect their livestock. Trappers trapped wolves for fur. Farmers poisoned them and hunted them with dogs. By 1950, there were almost no wolves left in the United States. Finally, in 1974, Congress granted gray wolves protected status.

Read this excerpt from the poem "Lincoln Looked.”
Lincoln looked forward and saw
a divided house cannot stand.
He looked ahead, beyond the brim
of his stovepipe hat, and where
there were many people, he saw one.
Lincoln looked up at the clouds
turning in the sky and knew that
the nation was doing the same thing
in time.
It was time for a change. Lincoln
looked deep within himself and searched
for the recipe for a new country made
from so many wild and unique ingredients.

The Trapeze Act
Toby McAlister was a third-generation circus performer. He had started juggling when he was three years old. At the age of five, Toby could ride a unicycle while juggling six balls. When Toby turned eight, his father decided to start training him on the trapeze.
Toby loved the trapeze. He quickly mastered swinging and transferring between trapeze bars. After only a few months of training, Toby was part of his father's act. As the years passed, Toby learned to do more stunts. The father-son trapeze act became increasingly exciting and dangerous.
One evening, Toby was especially excited about his performance. He was going to execute a triple somersault in mid-air without a net below him.
"You are going to be the biggest star of the circus! Here is a shiny gold suit to show the world how brilliant you are!" Toby's father said as he gave him a new costume to wear.
Toby's mother however was not supportive. She cried and begged Toby and his father to use the net.
"Mama, don't worry. I practiced this act a million times and never fell once!" Toby told his mother.
"Toby is a master. I would not let him do the trick if I had any doubts. The crowds will love it!" Toby's father said.
When it was time for the trapeze act, Toby turned to the audience and posed with his arms raised high. Then, he grabbed the first trapeze bar, and leaped from the platform. For the first few minutes, Toby did his usual tricks.
"Ladies and gentleman, please give me your undivided attention! Tonight, Toby McAlister is going to perform a death-defying stunt right before your very eyes. He will attempt the triple somersault without a net!" the ringmaster announced.
Then, several workers entered the ring and removed the safety net. The audience grew still and silent. Toby's mother sat in the front row and prayed that Toby would not fall. As Toby's feet left the platform, Toby's mother held her breath and closed her eyes.
Suddenly, the audience gasped. Toby's mom felt her heart stop for a moment. Then, the arena erupted with applause. Toby's mom opened her eyes to see that Toby's father was holding him by the feet as he hung upside down. Toby's mom let out her breath, stood to her feet, and cheered.
How do the differing points of view of Toby and his mother affect the story?
A.
It creates tension and suspense.
B.
It foreshadows the outcome of Toby's act.
C.
It characterizes Toby's mom as overbearing.

Voting for the Academy Awards. Have you ever wondered how the winners of the Academy Awards are selected? Did you know that the selection process actually starts months before the presentation of the awards in late February? First, in January, nomination ballots are sent to members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. For most award categories, five nomination are allowed. The Academy's philosophy is that only people who work in a particular part of the motion picture industry are qualified to make nominations for an award that relates to that part of the industry. So, for example, only directors can nominate their fellow directors. The Academy believes that people in the same field can make better decisions about who is best qualified for an award. Next, members return their secret nomination ballots. Protecting the secrecy of the members' ballots is an important rule behind the selection process. Then, a company called PricewaterhouseCoopers determines the nomination results. Shortly after that, at the end of January, the nomination results are announced. Early in February, final ballots are mailed to members of the Academy. Then, members vote and return their ballots to PricewaterhouseCoopers. Next, the company determines the final results, but they are kept a strict secret. Finally, the winners are revealed when their names are read from the famous envelopes opened at the Awards presentation in late February. the tense anticipation about who the winners are is over at last!

please read my narrative essay please
Me and Mr.jacks have just arrived in this huge town. It was busy and a lot of buildings and people.We were tired and wanted to find somewhere to rest.Escaping the force field and getting to this city was tiring. We were hungry but we didn't have anything to eat.We sat down on a bench to rest a little.
Mr.jacks said in a really tired voice, “We need food to keep going”
I said “i know but we don't have money and we didn't bring food”
They got up and walked around to find shelter but didn't find anything and it was turning dark fast.
They haven slept in days and they were losing hope everyday.
“Hey look is that an abandoned building over there?” I said with excitement in my voice.
“Ya it is Kate thank you so much” Mr.Jacks said with tiredness and a little happiness in his voice.”
They walked faster towards the building. Me and Mr.Jacks arrived and the door was stuck and Mr.Jacks and Kate got it open and then went inside and sat down on the floor.Then I saw in the corner of the room had food.
“Mr.Jacks! There is food in the corner” I said excited.
I heard something like humans walking towards them. All of a sudden 3 people walk in and they see Mr.Jack and me.
The man said in a deep raspy voice “wh0 are you and why are you in my home eating our food!”
“We are sorry we didn't kn0w it's yours we thought it was abandoned and we could stay” Mr.Jacks said saying scaredly
They surrounded the two madly. I was shaking scared when a huge male about 6’5 feet tall and scary grabbed me and took me into a different room and beat me, making me bleed alot and I was unconscious and laying on the floor. Mr.Jacks was beat to and the people picked both of them up and took them far away and dropped them off.
A Special Evening
I was a server at a fancy restaurant for about four years. I was pretty good at waiting tables, so I made good tips. People didn't take much notice of me as I refilled drinks or cleared empty plates. They just kept talking. Other times, a guest asked me to help make his or her loved one feel special. I always enjoyed helping people celebrate important occasions.
One evening, a young man brought his date to the restaurant. He treated her well—held the door open for her, slid her chair out, and pushed her chair in. I couldn't tell if it was their first date or not. The man seemed very anxious, but the woman seemed at ease. When the woman left the table, the man frantically waved for my attention. I rushed over and asked if he needed something.
"I'm going to propose to my girlfriend. I need your help. When you bring the dessert, put this ring on top of the cake. Then, I will get down on one knee. Please make sure that nothing happens to the ring. It cost a fortune," the man said.
"Sure thing, man. I'll take good care of the ring. Good luck," I said as I put it in my pocket.
I was happy when I saw the couple laughing and holding hands. I was pretty sure that the young woman would accept the proposal. Finally, it was time to bring the dessert. Eagerly, I went to the kitchen and placed the diamond ring on top of a slice of cheesecake. Then, I had a brilliant idea of how to make the presentation even more special. I went to the storage room to get a candle and a lighter. When I returned to the kitchen, the cheesecake with the diamond ring was gone. Just as I reached the front of the restaurant to see if another server had taken it, I heard, "Yes! Robert, I will marry you!"
Anxiously, I looked to see who had accepted the marriage proposal. I saw a happy-looking middle-aged woman admiring the diamond ring on her finger and a stunned-looking middle-aged man with his mouth hanging open in disbelief. Then, I noticed the guest who had given me the ring. He looked horrified. His face was pale and his eyes were bulging from their sockets. I glanced at his girlfriend. She was smiling and watching the woman with the diamond ring. She had no idea that the ring had been meant for her.
I wasn't quite sure what to do. I suppose that my flight or fight response kicked in. I untied my apron, ran out the door, and never went back.

Read this excerpt from Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll.
“I'm sure I'm very sorry,” was all Alice could say; for the words of the old song kept ringing through her head like the ticking of a clock, and she could hardly help saying them out loud:—
“Tweedledum and Tweedledee
Agreed to have a battle;
For Tweedledum said Tweedledee
Had spoiled his nice new rattle.
Just then flew down a monstrous crow,
As black as a tar-barrel;
Which frightened both the heroes so,
They quite forgot their quarrel.”
Shortly after Alice sings this song, Tweedledee and Tweedledum begin to battle. This is evidence that
walking backward means going forward in the looking-glass land.

What is the dialogue of the story called The Tell-tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe ?
Answer:In the short story “The Tell-Tale Heart,” the narrator carries the plot forward. All the events in the plot are either of his own doing or the result of his actions. At the start of the story, in the exposition, both the narrator and the old man are introduced to the reader through what the narrator says. The story starts with the narrator, who claims to be nervous. He then contradicts himself by “calmly” telling his story. There are several such contradictions throughout the story. The narrator claims he is not insane, but his speech and actions indicate otherwise. He claims to have loved the old man and to have been kind to him, but he murders him. His irrational fear of the old man’s “Evil Eye” is what sets the events of the story in motion. He fears and loathes the evil eye, so he decides to get rid of it. In the climax, he kills the old man. After killing the old man, the narrator dismembers him, apparently to separate the identity of the old man from his eye. Later, in the falling action, the narrator feels guilty about killing the old man. His guilt causes him to mistake his own thumping heart for the old man’s beating heart. He gives himself up to the police, providing the denouement. Thus, across all the parts of the plot, the narrator affects the story because he drives the action.

“The insane asylum on Blackwell’s Island is a human rat-trap. It is easy to get in, but once there it is impossible to get out.”
Those words, describing New York City’s most notorious mental institution, were written by journalist Nellie Bly in 1887. It was no mere armchair observation, because Bly got herself committed to Blackwell’s and wrote a shocking exposé called Ten Days In A Madhouse. The series of articles became a best-selling book, launching Bly’s career as a world-famous investigative reporter and also helping bring reform to the asylum.
In the late 1880s, New York newspapers were full of chilling tales about brutality and patient abuse at the city’s various mental institutions. Into the fray came the plucky 23-year Nellie Bly (born Elizabeth Cochrane, she renamed
