02.02 The Great North American Circus

There was great excitement in Smyrna, especially among the boys. Barlow's Great American Circus in its triumphal progress from state to state was close at hand, and immense yellow posters announcing its arrival were liberally displayed on fences and barns, while smaller bills were put up in the post office, the hotel, and the principal stores, and distributed from house to house.
It was the largest circus that had ever visited Smyrna. At least a dozen elephants marched with ponderous steps in its preliminary procession, while clowns, acrobats, giants, dwarfs, fat women, cannibals, and hairy savages from Tibet and Madagascar were among the strange wonders that were to be seen at each performance for the small sum of fifty cents, children half price.
For weeks the young people had been looking forward to the advent of this marvelous world of curiosities, and the country papers from farther east had given glowing accounts of the great show, which was pronounced greater and more gorgeous than in any previous year. But it may be as well to reproduce, in part, the description given in the posters:
BARLOW'S GREAT NORTH AMERICAN CIRCUS.
Now in its triumphal march across the continent, will
give two grand performances,
AT SMYRNA
on the afternoon and evening of May 18th.
Never in all its history has this
unparalleled show embraced a greater variety of attractions,
or included a larger number of world-famous
acrobats, clowns, bare back riders, rope walkers, trapeze
artists, and star performers,
in addition to a colossal menagerie, comprising
elephants, tigers, lions, leopards,
and other wild animals in great variety.
All this and far more, including a hundred
DARING ACTS,
can be seen for the trifling sum of fifty cents;
children half price.
COME ONE! COME ALL!
Two boys paused to read this notice, pasted with pictures of elephants and circus performers on the high board fence near Stoddard's grocery store. They were Dan Clark and Christopher Watson, called Kit for short.

Explain how "Indian" reveals a contrasting point of view of life in early America
1 Indian
2 by Rosemary and Stephen Vincent Benét
3
4 I don't know who this Indian is,
5 A bow within his hand,
6 But he is hiding by a tree
7 And watching white men land.
8 They may be gods -- they may be fiends --
9 They certainly look rum.
10 He wonders who on earth they are
11 And why on earth they've come.
12
13 He knows his streams are full of fish,
14 His forests full of deer,
15 And his tribe is the mighty tribe
16 That all the others fear.
17 -- And, when the French or English land,
18 The Spanish or the Dutch,
19 They'll tell him they're the mighty tribe
20 And no one else is much.
21
22 They'll kill his deer and net his fish
23 And clear away his wood,
24 And frequently remark to him
25 They do it for his good.
26 Then he will scalp and he will shoot
27 And he will burn and slay
28 And break the treaties he has made
29 -- And, children, so will they.
30
31 We won't go into all of that
32 For it's too long a story,
33 And some is brave and some is sad
34 And nearly all is gory.
35 But, just remember this about
36 Our ancestors so dear:
37 They didn't find an empty land.
38 The Indians were here.

Read this excerpt from Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll.

"You might make a joke on THAT,” said the little voice close to her ear: "something about ‘you WOULD if you could,’ you know.”

"Don't tease so,” said Alice, looking about in vain to see where the voice came from; "if you're so anxious to have a joke made, why don't you make one yourself?”

The little voice sighed deeply: it was VERY unhappy, evidently, and Alice would have said something pitying to comfort it, "If it would only sigh like other people!” she thought. But this was such a wonderfully small sigh, that she wouldn't have heard it at all, if it hadn't come QUITE close to her ear. The consequence of this was that it tickled her ear very much, and quite took off her thoughts from the unhappiness of the poor little creature.

What question should a reader ask to clarify what is happening in the story?

Who or what is the voice speaking to Alice?
When will Alice attempt to share a joke?
What secret will Alice share with the new character?
Why do whispers tickle the listener

Read this excerpt from Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll.

She was rambling on in this way when she reached the wood: it looked very cool and shady. “Well, at any rate it's a great comfort,” she said as she stepped under the trees, “after being so hot, to get into the—into WHAT?” she went on, rather surprised at not being able to think of the word. “I mean to get under the—under the—under THIS, you know!” putting her hand on the trunk of the tree. “What DOES it call itself, I wonder? I do believe it's got no name—why, to be sure it hasn't!”

She stood silent for a minute, thinking: then she suddenly began again. “Then it really HAS happened, after all! And now, who am I? I WILL remember, if I can! I'm determined to do it!” But being determined didn't help much, and all she could say, after a great deal of puzzling, was, “L, I KNOW it begins with L!”

Which question might a reader ask to gain a better understanding of this excerpt?

Why does Alice choose to step through the looking glass?
Why does Alice forget the name of the woods and her own name?
Why does Alice want to play chess with all the others in the garden?
Why does Alice talk to the gnat about the looking-glass insects?

Read the passage. What is a similarity between the narrator and her best friend, Karen?

Karen and I had been best friends since first grade. But I was a little jealous of her. Karen always seemed smarter and prettier than everyone. One day, we both put our names in for a dance contest. I practiced hard for weeks. I wanted to win the dance contest and beat Karen. On the day of the contest, I went on stage. I danced like I’d never danced in my life. The crowd clapped loudly. Then it was Karen’s turn. She missed some steps and even lost her balance at one point. I knew something was wrong—Karen was no klutz. I ended up winning the contest, but that didn’t even matter to me anymore. After the contest, I ran to Karen and asked her what was wrong. Karen told me that she had been dancing with a sprained ankle. I asked her why she did it. Karen looked ashamed. Then she said, “Because I wanted to beat you and prove that I’m just as good as you!” I was shocked. Here I was so jealous of her, and she wanted to beat me so badly that she went on stage with a sprained ankle!
