Read this excerpt from Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.

I knew I could never let Mom hear the messages, because protecting her is one of my most important raisons d’être, so what I did was I took Dad’s emergency money from on top of his dresser, and I went to the Radio Shack on Amsterdam. It was on a TV there that I saw that the first building had fallen. I bought the exact same phone and ran home and recorded our greeting from the first phone onto it. I wrapped up the old phone in the scarf that Grandma was never able to finish because of my privacy, and I put that in a grocery bag, and I put that in a box, and I put that in another box, and I put that under a bunch of stuff in my closet, like my jewelry workbench and albums of foreign currencies.

Which sentence best serves as evidence for this reason? the central idea in amy tan's "two kinds," the conflict between parent and child, is expressed by the daughter's retort, "you want me to be something i'm not." the main character in amy tan's "two kinds" has a mother who cleans houses for extra money, but fitzgerald's characters are usually wealthy socialites. amy tan writes fiction about chinese americans like herself, and many of her stories are inspired by her own childhood. fitzgerald's idea that the purpose of literature is to connect to readers is a common idea that is reflected in much of modern fiction and poetry, including the work of amy tan.

The use of apostrophe in the poem creates a detached effect, since the reader is not addressed directly. causes the reader to feel alienated if he or she does not have any brothers. helps define the speaker’s voice in relation to his "brothers," or community. allows the reader to visualize all of the poet’s family and friends.

Back in the late 1800s, Martin Stone was the most popular young fiddle player in northeastern Tennessee. In the summertime, Martin liked to take Sunday off and sit up on a rocky bluff near the top of Stone Mountain. There, he would play his fiddle and watch the sun come up over the green rolling hills.
One day, Martin was playing a slow, leisurely tune on his fiddle when a rattlesnake slithered out from under a rock, curled up in the sun, and watched him play. Before Martin knew it, the surrounding rocks were filled with rattlesnakes. Most people would have fainted dead away in terror at that point, but Martin was fascinated.
As the sun went down and dark shadows filled the valley, the snakes slithered back into their nests. Martin packed up his fiddle with a chuckle and made plans to come back next week—but with a surprise.
The next Sunday, Martin climbed to the rocky overhang and began to play his fiddle. Again, the rattlesnakes slithered out and listened to him, hypnotized. Martin then put down his fiddle and picked up a shotgun. He began blasting away at the rattlesnakes, picking them off one by one.
Every Sunday for the next few weeks, Martin returned to the bluff, played his fiddle until the snakes came out, and then began shooting. It became a sport to him, and soon, he became known around the county as the "Fiddlin' Snake Man."
One Sunday toward the end of summer, Martin returned to the bluff like he had done many times before. As the sun rose, he began to play a soft waltz on his fiddle. Once again, the rattlesnakes wiggled out from underneath the rocks and listened, swaying back and forth to the music.
Martin stopped playing, reached for his shotgun—then stopped. Something in the snakes' eyes caught his attention. The snakes glared at Martin with fiery red eyes, burning with intense hatred. Martin was hypnotized in their glare—as hard as he tried, he couldn't reach for his gun.
The snakes surrounded Martin and, one by one, began crawling up inside his pant legs. Martin was frozen with terror as he felt their scaly bodies wriggle around his legs, his chest, and his arms. All at once, the snakes started biting. As their icy venom flowed through his veins, all Martin could do was scream—a horrifying scream that resounded throughout the valley.
To this day, some Johnson County residents refuse to climb to the rocky overhang at the top of Stone Mountain, which they now call "Fiddler's Rock." In the lazy summer months, when the sun rises over the hills, they say you can hear the faint notes of a fiddle, followed by a high-pitched screeching sound.

Read the excerpt from “A Case Against Zoos.”

The idea of keeping any living creature behind barriers is difficult for some people to accept. It’s true that zoo animals receive medical care. But zoo supporters claim that animals in captivity are even healthier than those in the wild. Let’s consider a few problems with this argument. First, animals like polar bears live naturally cold climates. However, there are polar bear exhibits in warm and even tropical areas worldwide. It is very stressful for animals to adapt to different temperatures and this affects their health. Next, no matter how hard they try, zoos cannot provide the living space that animals need. Studies show that small enclosures prevent animals from getting enough exercise and carrying out normal routines. Lack of space even lowers infant survival rates. Zoo diets may not contain the nutrients animals get in the wild, causing disease and weight problems. Finally, the life span of some species, such as elephants, is shorter in zoos.

Javier is writing an essay about zoo habitats based on the article “The Importance of Zoos” and other online resources.

He wants to answer this question: Are there any negative effects of zoo habitats on the animals that live in them?

“...there are polar bear exhibits in warm and even tropical areas worldwide.”

"Lookyhere, Tom, do you know what day it is?"

"My! I never once thought of it, Huck!"

"Well, I didn't neither, but all at once it popped onto me that it was Friday."

"Blame it, a body can't be too careful, Huck. We might 'a' got into an awful scrape, tackling such a thing on a Friday."
