STORY: The Elevator by William Sleator

Answer:

THEME: It is better to face your fears than to avoid them.

The author encourages readers to confront their fears rather than avoid them. Martin's fear was able to track him down because he had fled from it.

Evidence:

Martin, a thin 12-year-old (written out and with hyphens). He lives on the 17th floor, is teased at school, and is constantly picked last for teams. He dislikes elevators. Martin's father definitely dislikes him. Martin dreads being alone in an elevator. He also feels nervous in the elevator with others.

The 14th floor elevator introduces the overweight woman. She wears a green blazer and dirty shoes. She fills the elevator entirely. She looks at Martin.

Martin dislikes the overweight woman. And why she's in the building, he wonders. Martin can't decide between the stairs and the elevator. The elevator portrays the big woman, while the stairs reflect his father's frailty. The big woman takes the next train up to the 18th level. Martin is stumped. He fears what will happen if the elevator gets trapped. He wants to go but feels he can't because of her. Martin asks his father about the big woman. His father accuses him of fear.

When Martin sees the overweight woman on his level, he takes the stairs. He trips and falls. He must now take the elevator. Martin takes the elevator with his father to the ninth level. The overweight woman boards the elevator on the tenth level. She calls him out and pushes STOP.

2. How to vote on election day in 12 easy steps
Step 1: Go to your assigned polling precinct from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. on May 9
The Commission on Election (Comelec) advises voters to come early and not wait until the last
minute. Look for your name in the voters list posted near the precinct. The Parish Pastoral
Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV) voter’s assistance desk in the polling place can also help
you look for your precinct, sequence, and room number.
Step 2: Fall in line in the holding area
Step 3: Give your name, valid I.D., and precinct number to the Board of Election Inspectors
(BEIs)
Step 4: Get your ballot, ballot secrecy folder, marker, and go to the voting area
Make sure your ballot is clean of any marks.
Step 5: Vote wisely
Under voting and abstaining is allowed; overvoting is not. If you overvote, the vote will not be
counted. Shade the entire oval corresponding to your candidate of choice. Cover your ballot
using the ballot secrecy folder; even the poll watchers and BEI cannot look at your ballot. Do
not make any other marks on the ballot.

House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros
We didn't always live on Mango Street. Before that we lived on Loomis on the third floor, and before that we lived on Keeler. Before Keeler it was Paulina, and before that I can't remember. But what I remember most is moving a lot. Each time it seemed there'd be one more of us. By the time we got to Mango Street we were six—Mama, Papa, Carlos, Kiki, my sister Nenny and me.
Chunk 1 annotation:


The house on Mango Street is ours, and we don't have to pay rent to anybody, or share the yard with the people downstairs, or be careful not to make too much noise, and there isn't a landlord banging on the ceiling with a broom. But even so, it's not the house we'd thought we'd get.
Chunk 2 annotation


We had to leave the flat on Loom is quick. The water pipes broke and the landlord wouldn't fix them because the house was too old. We had to leave fast. We were using the washroom next door and carrying water over in empty milk gallons. That's why Mama and Papa looked for a house, and that's why we moved into the house on Mango Street, far away, on the other side of town.
Chunk 3 annotation


They always told us that one day we would move into a house, a real house that would be ours forever so we wouldn't have to move each year. And our house would have running water and pipes that worked. And inside it would have real stairs, not hallway stairs, but stairs inside like the houses on TV. And we'd have a basement and at least three washrooms so when we took a bath we wouldn't have to tell everybody. Our house would be white with trees around it, a great big yard and grass growing without a fence. This was the house Papa talked about when he held a lottery ticket and this was the house Mama dreamed up in the stories she told us before we went to bed.
Chunk 4 annotation


But the house on Mango Street is not the way they told it at all. It's small and red with tight steps in front and windows so small you'd think they were holding their breath. Bricks are crumbling in places, and the front door is so swollen you have to push hard to get in. There is no front yard, only four little elms the city planted by the curb. Outback is a small garage for the car we don't own yet and a small yard that looks smaller between the two buildings on either side. There are stairs in our house, but they're ordinary hallway stairs, and the house has only one washroom. Everybody has to share a bedroom—Mama and Papa, Carlos and Kiki, me and Nenny.
Chunk 5 annotation


Once when we were living on Loomis, a nun from my school passed by and saw me playing out front.
The laundromat downstairs had been boarded up because it had been robbed two days before and the owner had painted on the wood YES WE'RE OPEN so as not to lose business.
Where do you live? she asked.
There, I said pointing up to the third floor.
You live there? There. I had to look to where she pointed—the third floor, the paint peeling, wooden bars Papa had nailed on the windows so we wouldn't fall out. You live there? The way she said it made me feel like nothing. There. I lived there. I nodded.

I knew then I had to have a house. A real house. One I could point to. But this isn't it. The house on Mango Street isn't it. For the time being, Mama says. Temporary, says Papa. But I know how those things go.

Which excerpt best reveals Edna’s doubts about Robert’s feelings for her in chapter 33 of The Awakening? "Mrs. Pontellier! How do you happen—oh! how well you look! Is Mademoiselle Reisz not here? I never expected to see you." "When did you come back?" asked Edna in an unsteady voice, wiping her face with her handkerchief. So he had come back because the Mexicans were not congenial . . . because of any reason, and not because he cared to be near her. A hundred times Edna had pictured Robert's return, and imagined their first meeting. It was usually at her home, whither he had sought her out at once.

Island life offers the best of all worlds. Take Lummi Island, for example, the smallest of the San Juan Islands in northwest Washington and still a well-kept secret. Though its meager population quadruples to 4,000 with the summer tourist season, it never feels the slightest bit crowded. One can always find a deserted beach to roam or a forest path to explore. The mainland is only a 12-minute ferry ride away, so city life is within reach. Bainbridge Island, near Seattle, is another prime choice for those wishing to live somewhere with peace and quiet but proximity to a city. Many Seattle employees live on the island and commute each day to their downtown jobs. Vashon Island, near Tacoma, might seem too small for some. There is no "town" to speak of, but a quiet little artists' community thrives there.
Family homes on the islands mentioned above are no more expensive than on the mainland. Such houses offer stellar views of surrounding landscape, including mountains, waterways, and other scenic islands. Otter, bald eagles, seals, and even whales are frequent visitors to Pacific coastal islands. They are a nature lover's paradise and also offer perfect settings for stargazers and photographers. Quite a few island inhabitants were once tourists who found they couldn't bear to leave and made the island their home.
If there are drawbacks, they are only these: there is usually a minimum of culture in terms of theater or music events. But all that means is an excursion into town now and then to get your fix. The same is true if you want a wide variety of food or like to eat in restaurants. The only other minor drawback is the ferry schedule, which can be sporadic. There are also periods of time each year when ferries are in "dry dock" and not running due to planned or unplanned repairs. Still, for those wanting to escape the noise and stress of city life, islands are a perfect choice. They are among the nation's few remaining unspoiled places to call home.

Which sentence best summarizes the author's attitude in this selection?
A.
