The Choice

1 Two more weeks was all that stood between Jesse and his tenth birthday! He felt taller just thinking about it. Being double digits was a big deal, and so was the epic birthday party Jesse was hoping to have with all of his friends. Stronger, popular, excited, older. ANSWWER BOTH PWEASE

2 The party was such a big deal that Jesse had been in his bedroom for an eternity debating who he should invite. Should it be a massive party with everyone he knew, or should he keep it small so that he could spend more time with each of his closest friends?

3 It wasn't long before Jesse was summoned by his mom. "Do you have that list for me yet, Jesse?" she called up the stairs. He hurriedly wrote down the final name—Tim, a friend he had been playing soccer with for two years. Then, clutching the list like a prized possession, he sprinted down the stairs, relieved to deliver the news to his mom. She scrutinized it, and Jesse could almost read her mind. "What's wrong, Mom?"

4 "Well," she began, "I see that you invited all of the boys in your class except Michael, the boy who just moved here from Indiana."

5 "I know," Jesse began to explain, getting defensive, "but I don't know him very well at all. He probably wouldn't like the activities we have planned and wouldn't have any fun."

6 His mom was quiet for a moment. "It's your party," she said, "but I want you to spend the next day giving that some additional consideration. In all probability, Michael doesn't know many people here yet, and he may appreciate being included. Also, what if he finds out that he was the only boy not invited?"

7 "Fine," Jesse said, heading back up to his room to play video games, not intending to give it much thought at all. But, later that day, he reluctantly found that he was not only thinking about his new classmate, Michael, but also about when he himself first started playing soccer.

8 That first day, he was anxious and hesitant to step out on the field. He wasn't exactly an introvert, but it did take him some time to get accustomed to new situations and make friends. Plus, he knew that most of the team had been playing longer, and they had already developed connections. Lucky for him, Tim was on his team. Even though no one was rude, it was Tim who made sure he was included in all of the goofing around that occurred after practice and always called him over to sit next to him when the team went out for food after a big win. Two years later, it was this same Tim he considered his closest friend.

9 So, when Jesse distributed the invitations at school the following day, his stack included one for Michael. As the class proceeded outside for recess, his teacher, Mrs. Marks, requested that Jesse remain behind for a minute. "Great," thought Jesse, "what did I do wrong now?" But Mrs. Marks wore a big smile when he approached.

10 "I noticed that you invited Michael to your party," she said.

11 "Yes, "Jesse replied, feeling slightly unaccustomed to such positive attention from his teacher. He knew that Mrs. Marks felt that he needed to work harder from time to time.

12 "Well, I think that was a wonderful and gracious thing to do for someone who is new," she continued. "You probably don't realize this, but Michael's dad is still working in Indiana and will be there for a few more months. I know that's been difficult for Michael, and I'm sure this invitation will mean a lot to him and his mom."

13 Jesse had no idea about Michael's dad, or why Michael's mom would care about a party, but Jesse felt good knowing that Mrs. Marks was proud of him. In fact, Michael's mom was the first to call and accept the invitation to the party. She said that Michael was really looking forward to it.

14 When the day of the party came, Jesse felt like he was going to explode with excitement. Tim was the first to arrive, and he and Jesse started playing basketball in the driveway. Michael came next, and he stood off to the side watching them. Looking at Tim, and then Michael, Jesse remembered that first season of soccer. He tossed the ball to Michael, who surprised them by making a nearly impossible shot from where he was standing! "Whoa! How did you do that?" Jesse exclaimed. From then on the party flew by. By the time everyone went home, Jesse was thankful that he had been given the push he needed to find a new friendship.

Part A: B an outside observer

Part B: "That first day he was anxious and hesitant to step out of the field"

I say this bc a narrator is also known as an outside observer, and when an narrator is reading the story they would say he/she/they if it was a first pov story it would use things like "I" being in the main characters prospective

Lady Freedom Among Us
by Rita Dove
(1) don't lower your eyes
or stare straight ahead to where
you think you ought to be going
(2) don't mutter oh no
not another one
get a job fly a kite
go bury a bone
(3) with her oldfashioned sandals
with her leaden skirts
with her stained cheeks and whiskers and heaped up trinkets
she has risen among us in blunt reproach
(4) she has fitted her hair under a hand-me-down cap
and spruced it up with feathers and stars
slung over her shoulder she bears
the rainbowed layers of charity and murmurs
all of you even the least of you
(5) don't cross to the other side of the square
don't think another item to fit on a tourist's agenda
(6) consider her drenched gaze her shining brow
she who has brought mercy back into the street
and will not retire politely to the potter's field
(7) having assumed the thick skin of this town
its gritted exhaust its sunscorch and blear
she rests in her weathered plumage
bigboned resolute
(8) don't think you can forget her
don't even try
she's not going to budge
(9) no choice but to grant her space
crown her with sky
for she is one of the many
and she is each of us
In Lady Freedom Among Us Dove wants readers to recognize that people experiencing homelessness in America are no different than homed citizens.

Kites: Birds of Glory

As a rule, raptors, or birds of prey, are among the most admired and adored birds in the world. From the California condor to the snowy owl, few birds compare to the tigers of the air: the great hunters whose beauty and skill have inspired art and literature for centuries. The most glorious feathers of the peacock or the vibrant plumage of a bunting cannot compete with the power of a peregrine falcon or the determination of an osprey. Included in this group of hunters, however, is one bird of prey that is little known but equally impressive. The kites of the world are generally smaller than most raptors, but just as astonishing in skill and grace as any other hunter of the skies.

Most people think of paper or cloth structures flown with string from the ground when the word 'kite' is used. In addition to these popular toys, kite can also refer to a type of raptor. Kites have a small head, a short beak and long narrow wings and tail. Kites can be found all over the world in mostly warm regions. Kites live on a variety of prey—from insects to small rodents or reptiles. Some kites eat only one kind of prey. Kites are generally masterful in the air and represent a group of birds that are among the most acrobatic of fliers.

Two of the most familiar kites in the Southern United States are the swallow-tailed kite and the Mississippi kite. The Mississippi kite is rather plain to look at: a light brown and gray body with a buff or white colored head. But to watch a Mississippi kite fly is to watch a ballet in the air. These raptors eat primarily flying insects, so they do most of their hunting on the wing. As you might imagine, catching flying insects requires a great deal of agility and speed. If you are lucky enough to see one in flight, you will be amazed at the quick turns, graceful moves, and speedy pursuits of this bird. Look for them above large fields, especially during the summer.

The swallow-tailed kite, also common in the South, is more easily identifiable and often seen flying over roads. With black wings and tail, white head and body, and a forked or swallow-like tail, this raptor is just as acrobatic as the Mississippi kite. Swallow-tailed kites like flying over highways in the summer as they can take advantage of the thermals, or columns of warmed air, that rise above the pavement. Once they have climbed to sufficient height, swallow-tails will glide, looking for snakes and reptiles and insects. They also eat small rodents, frogs, and other birds on occasion. Watching a swallow-tail fly is a lot like watching a gymnast perform a floor routine. Rarely flapping its wings, it uses its forked tail to make sharp turns, trace circles in the sky, or simply maintain a heading. Skilled, accomplished, and graceful, this bird is as entertaining as it is beautiful.

Both kites are known to eat while flying, unlike most other birds of prey. This practice conserves energy and allows them to hunt almost continuously. While these kites are not listed as endangered, they are rare and in some states are listed as critical. Loss of habitat is the main reason for the decline. If you are lucky enough to see one, count yourself among the few. These magnificent birds are a sight you won't soon forget.

Based on this article, how would you describe kites to someone who has never seen one? Use details and quotations from the text to support your answer.
