Picture this: a herd of elephants flies past you at sixty miles per hour, followed by a streak of tigers, a pride of lions, and a bunch of clowns. What do you see? It must be a circus train! One of the first uses of the circus train is credited to W.C. Coup. He partnered with P.T. Barnum in 1871 to expand the reach of their newly combined shows using locomotives. That's another word for train. You see, before trains, moving the circus was hard. They had to lug around all their animals, performers, and equipment with a team of more than 600 horses. Since there were no highways, these voyages were rough and took a long time. Circuses would stop at many small towns between the large venues. Performing at many of these small towns was not very profitable. Because of these limitations, circuses could not grow as large as the imaginations of the operators. After they began using circus trains, Barnum and Coup only brought their show to large cities. These performances were much more profitable and the profits went toward creating an even bigger and better circus. More stages or "rings" were added and the show went on. Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus relied on the train to transport their astounding show until they went defunct in 2017.

Summary (Put it all together!)

Read this excerpt from “What I Hope to Leave Behind.” If we have known happy homes, we want to reproduce the same type of thing we have had; and even though we may always be critical of some things in our past, time nearly always puts a halo around even a few of the disagreeable things, and most women dream, as they rock their babies or busy themselves in household tasks, that their daughters will do the same things someday. Which statement explains how this excerpt relates to the position of women during Eleanor Roosevelt’s time? Although some women may have raised sons and daughters, they lived during a time when they taught their daughters to work in the home. Although some women had difficult upbringings, they lived during a time when working in the home was their only option. Although some women may have had doubts about working in the home, they lived during a time when doing so was often taken for granted. Although some women had been raised to consider individual careers, they lived during a time when they often opted to work in the home.

Read the excerpt from "Atalanta, the Fleet-Footed Huntress."

With the warriors from the south came Atalanta, armed with bow and arrows and a long hunting spear.

“My daughters are having a game of ball in the garden,” said the king to the huntress. “Would you like to put away your arrows and your spear and go play with them?” Atalanta shook her head and lifted her chin in disdain.

“Perhaps you would rather stay with the queen, and look at the women spin and weave,” said the king.

“No,” answered Atalanta. “I am going with the warriors to hunt the wild boar in the forest.”

The men gasped. They had never heard of such a thing as a girl going out with heroes to hunt wild boars. “If she goes, then I will not,” muttered one. “Nor will I,” said another, a little more loudly. “Why, the whole world would laugh at us, and we should never hear the end of it.” “Nor will I,” exclaimed a third. “The hunt is for heroes, not for girls.”

Many of the men guffawed and hooted at the young huntress. But Atalanta only grasped her spear more firmly and stood tall and straight in the gateway of the palace.

Which detail best supports the inference that Atalanta struggles to overcome gender stereotypes?

“But Atalanta only grasped her spear more firmly and stood tall and straight in the gateway of the palace."

The Rainy Day and The Castle-Builder



Read the selections and choose the best answer for each question.



Poem 1: The Rainy Day

By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

The day is cold, and dark, and dreary;

It rains, and the wind is never weary;

The vine still clings to the mouldering1 wall,

But at every gust the dead leaves fall,

5 And the day is dark and dreary.



My life is cold, and dark, and dreary;

It rains, and the wind is never weary;

My thoughts still cling to the mouldering Past,

But the hopes of youth fall think in the blast,

10 And the days are dark and dreary.



Be still, sad heart! and cease repining2;

Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;

Thy fate is the common fate of all,

Into each life some rain must fall,

15 Some days must be dark and dreary.



Mouldering: decaying; rottingRepining: complaining





Poem 2: The Castle-Builder

By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow



A gentle boy, with soft and silken locks,

A dreamy boy, with brown and tender eyes,

A castle-builder, with his wooden blocks,

And towers that touch imaginary skies.



5 A fearless rider on his father’s knee,

An eager listener unto stories told

At the Round Table of the nursery,

Of heroes and adventures manifold.



There will be other towers for thee to build;

10 There will be other steeds for thee to ride;

There will be other legends, and all filled

With greater marvels and more glorified.



Build on, and make thy castles high and fair, ,

Rising and reaching upward to the skies;

15 Listening to voices in the upper air,

Nor lose thy simple faith in mysteries.
