Read the sidebar titled “A Champion for the Soil” from Years of Dust.

"Of all the countries of the world," Hugh Bennett said, "we Americans have been the greatest destroyers of land of any race of people barbaric or civilized." Americans changed the land more than "the combined activities of volcanoes, earthquakes, tidal waves, tornadoes and all the excavations of mankind since the beginning of history." Bennett became the first chief of the Soil Conservation Service.

"Big Hugh," the son of a North Carolina cotton planter, was a graduate of the University of North Carolina specializing in soil science. He once asked an unwilling congressional committee to expand the soil conservation program. As he spoke, a cloud of plains dust enveloped Washington. "This, gentleman," he said, "is what I have been talking about." The committee approved his request.

HELPPPP MEEE


“How can something that old be right here in Illinois?” Rob asked himself. He had been using the Internet to research lost civilizations for a history project. Rob found a place called Cahokia.




He was amazed to find that Cahokia was about two hours from his home! Between 20,000 to 40,000 people once lived there and built 120 mounds, yet researchers disagree about the purpose of the mounds. The Cahokia people disappeared and left behind no written records.




Rob read that long ago Cahokia covered 4,000 acres and was the largest city north of Mexico. Living there were farmers, hunters, craftsmen, traders, and priests. Most researchers think that the city was settled before the year 1000. What really surprised Rob was that everyone abandoned the city about 300 years later, about 100 years before Columbus or any other Europeans arrived in North America.




“Why would people build a big city and then abandon it?” Rob wondered. He was excited to tell his parents about what he had learned. They had heard about Cahokia but hadn’t been there. His mom suggested that they visit it the following weekend.




On Saturday morning, they stopped at the Visitor Center. A model of the ancient city showed the mounds and hundreds of homes. Next, Rob wanted to explore the huge Monks Mound, which was ten stories high. Rob wondered how many trips it took to haul enough dirt to make a mound that big.


Several flights of steps are built into the dirt mound.


The family climbed 156 steps to the top of the mound. The view was astounding. It was more amazing than Rob had expected.




“I can see parts of a wooden wall around the city,” Rob said. “Maybe the people who lived here were attacked and killed by their enemies.”




“Maybe,” his mom agreed. “The ruler of Cahokia probably lived on this mound.”




“But no one knows for sure that this ruler existed,” Rob said. “Why didn’t the Cahokia people leave behind any records?”




His dad explained. “Long ago, many groups didn’t have a written language, so they couldn’t record their history. Instead, parents told stories to their children, and the children told the same stories to their own kids. That’s how they tried to preserve their history, yet those stories are lost now.”




“That’s too bad,” Rob said, “because I’d really like to know more about the people who lived here. After all, they were our neighbors!”

How does the experience of reading this scene from Act II of Twelfth Night differ from viewing the recording of the live version of the scene?

In the text, Sir Toby confronts Malvolio; in the live version he remains hidden.

The live version is more humorous because the characters hide behind statues and talk to each other.

The text version is more confusing because readers cannot tell who the characters are addressing.

Maria remains in the scene in the live version, but she leaves the scene in the text.

Read the poem.

The Whippoorwill
by Madison Julius Cawein

I.

Above lone woodland ways that led
To dells the stealthy twilights tread
The west was hot geranium red.
And still, and still,
Along old lanes the locusts sow
With clustered pearls the Maytime's know,
Deep in the crimson afterglow,
We heard the homeward cattle low,
And then the far-off, far-off woe
Of "whippoorwill!" of "whippoorwill!"

II.

Beneath the idle beechen boughs
We heard the far bells of the cows
Come slowly jangling towards the house;
And still, and still,
Beyond the light that would not die
Out of the scarlet-haunted sky;
Beyond the evening-star's white eye
Of glittering chalcedony,
Drained out of dusk the plaintive cry
Of "whippoorwill," of "whippoorwill."

III.

And in the city oft, when swims
The pale moon o'er the smoke that dims
Its disc, I dream of wildwood limbs;
And still, and still,
I seem to hear, where shadows grope
Mid ferns and flowers that dewdrops rope,
Lost in faint deeps of heliotrope
Above the clover-sweetened slope,
Retreat, despairing, past all hope,
The whippoorwill, the whippoorwill.
