Adapted from The Cave of Gold
by Everett McNeil

I was up at dawn and found everybody up and awaiting eagerly the moment when there would be sufficient light in the canyon to make the climbing of the Big Tree and the entrance into Crooked Arm Gulch safe. At last Mr. Conroyal declared that the great moment had come.
"But," and he glanced around the group of eager faces, "we need one man here to stand guard. Who is willing to stay behind?"
For a moment, no one appeared willing to make this sacrifice. Then, with a smile on his face, Frank Holt offered.
"Reckon I'll stay," he said. "I'm not as young as I once was, and crawling along that rock is dangerous to legs as old as mine."
We set off to climb Big Tree. You may be sure that there were no laggards among us.
When we reached the gulch, Ham said, "Now, the first thing to do is to get down to the bottom."
"That looks easy! Right this way!" Thune began excitedly clambering down the rocks.
Soon, we all stood at the bottom of Crooked Arm Gulch. We excitedly looked around for the entrance to the Cave of Gold, looking in vain. In front of us the wall of the gulch had been hollowed out into a great overhanging arch, seventy-five or more feet in height and some fifteen feet deep.
Could this be the miner's Cave of Gold?
In a minute more, we all were searching for the hidden entrance to the cave on the back wall of the arch.
Thune stopped in front of a large flat rock that had fallen so that it stood nearly on edge, leaning against the back wall of the arch. "Come, give me a hand, Bud," he said to me, "and let's see what is behind this rock."
In a moment, we were tugging at the huge slab of rock and, at last, with a mighty effort, we pulled it away from the wall, revealing a black opening in the solid rock.
"Bravo!" I yelled.
"Found!" shouted Thune, and both of us made a dive for the hole, but Ham stopped us.
Ham thrust his body into the opening and began cautiously working his way forward.
In about five minutes, Ham came backing hurriedly out.
"Who's got the candles?" he cried excitedly. "There's a cave, but we must have lights."
Ham caught up one of the candles and, quickly lighting it, crawled into the hole again, holding the candle out in front of him.
Thune followed.
"The rest of us had better wait outside until we hear from Ham," Mr. Conroyal said, staring anxiously into the hole.
For perhaps ten minutes we waited, although to the uneasy and excited watchers outside it seemed more like an hour, because not a sound came from the hole. Then, suddenly, the excited voice of Thune was heard, booming out through the hole.
"It's the cave, the Cave of Gold!" he cried exultantly, his voice trembling with excitement. "Come in, all of you. There is room for all. I will hold my candle so that you can see."
In five minutes, we were staring wonderingly around us. The bottom of the cave was level and composed of a very coarse gravel, mixed with little rounded chunks of a yellowish metal that glowed in the light of the candles like thousands of dull yellow coals of fire.
Ham knelt down. In a voice hardly above a whisper, he said, "It is gold!"
At long last, we had found the old miner's lost cave of gold.

How would this story be different from Ham's point of view?
A.
There would be more details about what is inside the rock's opening.
B.
There would be more details about how Thune helped him reach the cave.
C.
There would be more details about the people waiting outside the cave.

STORIES OF USEFUL INVENTIONS, excerpt

THE MATCH

PLESE HELP WITH IT !!
There never was a time when the world was without fire, but there was a time when men did not know how to kindle fire; and after they learned how to kindle one, it was a long, long time before they learned how to kindle one easily. In these days we can kindle a fire without any trouble, because we can easily get a match; but we must remember that the match is one of the most wonderful things in the world, and that it took men thousands of years to learn how to make one. Let us learn the history of this familiar little object, the match.


Fire was first given to man by nature itself. When a forest is set on fire by cinders from a neighboring volcano, or when a tree is set ablaze by a thunderbolt, we may say that nature strikes a match. In the early history of the world, nature had to kindle all the fires, for man by his own effort was unable to produce a spark. The first method, then, of getting fire for use was to light sticks of wood at a flame kindled by nature—by a volcano, perhaps, or by a stroke of lightning. These firebrands were carried to the home and used in kindling the fires there. The fire secured in this way was carefully guarded and was kept burning as long as possible. But the flame, however faithfully watched, would sometimes be extinguished. A sudden gust of wind or a sudden shower would put it out. Then a new firebrand would have to be secured, and this often meant a long journey and a deal of trouble.


In 1827, John Walker, a druggist in a small English town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. The druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. It is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. Although Walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. It could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. In a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. The match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. It would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. This was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar.

In the 1800s, the United States was still a very young nation, trying to solidify its identity. The Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain, a fast development of society following the introduction of machines. The United States was slower than Great Britain to fully embrace the changes. Yet key technological developments caused a rapid growth in American urban areas.

Better farming methods and tools in the 1800s increased food production. Americans were able to grow enough food for their families as well as to sell. The abundance caused food prices to fall.

The expansion of cotton and the growth of textile factories in northern states helped produce the first wave of American industry. More people turned to work in northern factories as a way to support their families. Thousands of immigrants to the United States also settled in or near port cities, looking for work. Even today, the need for work is a common reason people move to urban areas.

As a result, cities grew in numbers of people and physical space. As more people and businesses moved in, they needed buildings for living and working. They needed ways to move around the city. We call this process urbanization.

In 1820, the United States had only a few cities of 10,000 residents or more. About seven percent of U.S. residents lived in urban areas. The number of cities with more than 10,000 people grew quickly over the next 40 years, especially in the Northeast and Midwest. By 1860, about 20 percent lived in cities. Philadelphia and New York City were the most populated cities in 1860 and would soon reach one million residents.

The urbanization of the United States quickened due to technology improvements. Without innovations in food production, the factories could not have grown so quickly. The trend quickened after 1860 and continued throughout the 21st century as well. By 2007, more Americans lived in or near cities than they did in rural areas.

Reasons why people move

Crack! Thunder struck and rain poured. Max stared blankly out the window, trying to contain his emotions that raged like the weather. He was beginning to lose it. Dropping the kite from his hand, Max broke out into full sobs. His mother comforted him, “There, there, Max. We’ll just find something else to do.” She began to unpack the picnic basket that was on the counter and offered him a sandwich.

Read the poem “The Sky is Low, the Clouds are Mean” below and the question that follows.

The sky is low, the clouds are mean,
A travelling flake of snow
Across a barn or through a rut
Debates if it will go.

A narrow wind complains all day
How some one treated him;
Nature, like us, is sometimes caught
Without her diadem.

As a reader, you need to be aware that authors make word choices. As an author, you are responsible for choosing your words carefully. Why is word choice so important? Note the following list of words. Each one means a shade of the color red.

red:scarlet blood rust maroon flame cherry ruddy



NARRATOR: Look at the word red. It’s a good word for illustrating the importance of word choices. You could use the word red in a sentence, but you could also use other words that mean the color red. Such words could be found in a thesaurus, which is similar to a dictionary but contains synonyms of words. There you might find words like: scarlet, blood, rust, maroon, flame, cherry, and ruddy.

The moon was blood red. The moon was rust colored. The moon was a great cherry in the sky.

All three sentences mean the same thing, but they each have a different connotation, which means emotional impact, feeling, or mood. A moon described as “blood red” has a creepy kind of feeling. A “rust colored” moon could mean that the year is aging like a rusting piece of metal. A “cherry moon” is a happy moon, making the reader think of warm summer evenings.







There are even more words out there that mean the color red. Such words can be found in a reference book called a thesaurus. A thesaurus is similar to a dictionary except that instead of definitions, it contains synonyms of words. A thesaurus is a great way to add sparkle to your writing.



Why are so many different words necessary? To find out, read the following sentences:

1 –The moon was blood red.

2 –The moon was rust colored.

3 –The moon was a great cherry in the sky.



All three sentences mean the same thing, but they each have a different connotation. Connotation just means emotional impact, feeling, or mood. A moon described as “blood red” has a creepy kind of feeling—the feeling that something has or is just about to go very wrong. A “rust colored” moon indicates more of a fall feeling, and could mean that the year is getting old like a piece of metal left out to rust in the rain. A cherry moon is a happy moon; it makes the reader think of summer time and warm evenings. Are you starting to understand the power of choosing just the right word to describe the moon?

Look back at the beginning of Poe’s “The Cask of Amontillado.” Poe starts the story with the sentence, “The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could; but when he ventured upon insult, I vowed revenge.”

Why do you think Poe wrote that? Why didn’t he just write, “Fortunato insulted me, so I decided to get even”? Think about the connotations of the words “injuries,” “insult,” and “revenge.” These words were chose to create a particular feeling at the beginning of this dark story.



Answer the following questions.
1)
Word Choice Exercise 1

Write ONE word or phrase that Poe uses to create the mood of "The Cask of Amontillado." Then explain the effect the word has on the audience.

4. What does the caption on page 22 (“The Time Period”) help you understand?

C The portrayal of India as a mysterious and magical place was common in England when “The Monkey’s Paw” was written.
D In the early 1900s, magical monkey paws were popular in India.

What is Zumbox?
A. an innovative network that allows the messages of citizens to reach congress
