Answer:
When Laurie first starts kindergarten, he is a real terror. His parents have no idea that he is misbehaving, because they never talk directly to the teacher and the teacher never talks to them. Although Laurie misbehaves at home, they never seem to make the connection that he may be misbehaving at school.
Laurie makes up a little boy named Charles that he tells his parents behaves badly at school. His parents believe every word of it, and even seem to enjoy the stories of the bad behavior Charles does at school. They do not notice that Laurie is a problem at home and may be the one who is the problem at school.
It is clear from the beginning that Laurie is a brat. He is rude to his parents and they do not seem to be able to control him.
At lunch he spoke insolently to his father, spilled his baby sister’s milk, and remarked that his teacher said we were not to take the name of the Lord in vain.
As his journey to kindergarten continues, Laurie brings home stories of how Charles is punished. Obviously the teacher does not ignore his behavior. He is spanked several times, forced to miss recess, and made to “to stand in a corner during storytime” for being disruptive, rude, or violent.
In each case, Laurie does not appear to be resentful or contrite. Then again, he is telling his parents that someone else is the one being punished, so he may not want to give too much detail. Just making up a story shows that he has some feelings about. It is his way of trying to communicate with his parents.
Laurie’s parents worry that “Charles” is a bad influence on their child. Laurie comes home one day saying that "Charles" and the whole class had to stay after school. The incident seems to upset him more than the other punishments, but he continues to get in trouble. His mother misses the Parent-Teacher meeting, so she still knows nothing. Too bad! If she had gone, she would have learned what was going on that much sooner.
Laurie seems to realize that he is not going to get kicked out of school for being bad. About a month into kindergarten the teacher begins to ask him to help her, and he “grimly” determines that he might as well. He gets into trouble a few more times, but less often, and when Laurie’s mother goes to the meeting, his teacher confirms that he is mostly better.
“We had a little trouble adjusting, the first week or so,” she said primly, “but now he’s a fine little helper. With occasional lapses, of course.”
It seems that Laurie has accepted his lot. He is in school to stay. He is not going to get himself kicked out. He seems to like being the teacher’s helper. There are only so many ways he can be bad. With the occasional relapse, he has settled in to behaving himself and being socialized to school.
This story is a good example of an ironic twist ending. You do not realize the first time you read it that Charles is not real. There is a lot of judging going on by the mother. Of course, it is easy for the reader to judge her too. If you look carefully though, you will notice that she is probably just overwhelmed. She has a young son who is a handful, and a baby too. The reader would do well not to make the same mistake she does, and be too judgmental of her either.

It was ridiculous and ungainly, lying there on his back with legs sprawling in the air. Besides, it was a position of such utter helplessness that White Fang's whole nature revolted against it. He could do nothing to defend himself. If this man-animal intended harm, White Fang knew that he could not escape it. How could he spring away with his four legs in the air above him? Yet submission made him master his fear, and he only growled softly. This growl he could not suppress; nor did the man-animal resent it by giving him a blow on the head. And furthermore, such was the strangeness of it, White Fang experienced an unaccountable sensation of pleasure as the hand rubbed back and forth.

1. Reread paragraph 2 of "The Fall of the House of Usher." Mark
independent and dependent clauses. Then, classify each sentence as
simple, compound, complex, or compound-complex.
I inferred this to be paragraph 2 of the "The Fall of the House of Usher";
"Nevertheless, in this mansion of gloom I now proposed to myself a sojourn of some weeks. Its proprietor, Roderick Usher, had been one of my boon companions in boyhood; but many years had elapsed since our last meeting. A letter, however, had lately reached me in a distant part of the country—a letter from him—which, in its wildly importunate nature, had admitted of no other than a personal reply. The MS. gave evidence of nervous agitation. The writer spoke of acute bodily illness—of a mental disorder which oppressed him—and of an earnest desire to see me, as his best and indeed his only personal friend, with a view of attempting, by the cheerfulness of my society, some alleviation of his malady. It was the manner in which all this, and much more, was said—it was the apparent heart that went with his request—which allowed me no room for hesitation; and I accordingly obeyed forthwith what I still considered a very singular summons".
Explanation:
Note, A simple sentence is one that contains one independent clause; a clause refers to a group of words that has both a subject and a predicate.
Here are examples from the paragraphs;
"The MS. gave evidence of nervous agitation".A Compound sentence contains two or more independent clauses joined either by a comma and a coordinating conjunction (and, but, or) or by a semicolon. Here are some examples from the paragraphs;
"A letter, however, had lately reached me in a distant part of the country—a letter from him—which, in its wildly importunate nature, had admitted of no other than a personal reply". "Its proprietor, Roderick Usher, had been one of my boon companions in boyhood; but many years had elapsed since our last meeting".A Complex sentence is one containing one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. Here are some examples from the paragraphs;
"Nevertheless, in this mansion of gloom I now proposed to myself a sojourn of some weeks".A Compound-complex sentence usually contains two or more independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses. Here are some examples from the paragraphs;
"The writer spoke of acute bodily illness—of a mental disorder which oppressed him—and of an earnest desire to see me, as his best and indeed his only personal friend, with a view of attempting, by the cheerfulness of my society, some alleviation of his malady"."It was the manner in which all this, and much more, was said—it was the apparent heart that went with his request—which allowed me no room for hesitation; and I accordingly obeyed forthwith what I still considered a very singular summons".

Read the passage. Enrique raced down the cracked sidewalk as fast as he could. The hot sun was beating down on him mercilessly. Streams of sweat trickled down his face, and his drenched shirt clung to his chest and back, but he didn’t care. The school day had gone by very slowly, and now he was determined to get home. In his right hand, he firmly held on to his rolled-up certificate. For three long months, he had faithfully gone to the library every three days to check out new books to read. In the evenings, he and his mom had curled up on the couch and read to each other. For every book they completed, the librarian, Mrs. Sato, had put a stamp in one of the squares of his reading chart. Today, she had filled in the very last square. She had also presented him with a certificate of completion. His name was at the top, beautifully written in red cursive. “You did it, Enrique,” Mrs. Sato had said, “and way before any of your classmates. Congratulations!” Enrique couldn’t wait to see his mom’s face when he showed her the paper. He knew she would be proud. He also knew she would be eager to get started on the new book he carried in his other hand. Which descriptive sentence best indicates that Enrique is eager to show his mom the certificate? “Enrique raced down the cracked sidewalk as fast as he could.” “In his right hand, he firmly held on to his rolled-up certificate.” “His name was at the top, beautifully written in red cursive.” “He also knew she would be eager to get started on the new book he carried in his other hand.”

Read this passage from Jack London’s White Fang.
But it did not all happen in a day, this giving over of himself, body and soul, to the man-animals. He could not immediately forego his wild heritage and his memories of the Wild. There were days when he crept to the edge of the forest and stood and listened to something calling him far and away. And always he returned, restless and uncomfortable, to whimper softly and wistfully at Kiche’s side and to lick her face with eager, questioning tongue.
This passage is an example of conflict between
White Fang and the “man-animals.”
White Fang and Kiche.
White Fang and his desires.
White Fang and the growing-up process.
Answer:

Read the excerpt from "An Image of Africa: Racism in Conrad’s Heart of Darkness.” It might be contended, of course, that the attitude to the African in Heart of Darkness is not Conrad's but that of his fictional narrator, Marlow, and that far from endorsing it Conrad might indeed be holding it up to irony and criticism. Certainly, Conrad appears to go to considerable pains to set up layers of insulation between himself and the moral universe of his history. He has, for example, a narrator behind a narrator. The primary narrator is Marlow, but his account is given to us through the filter of a second, shadowy person. But if Conrad's intention is to draw a cordon sanitaire between himself and the moral and psychological malaise of his narrator, his care seems to me totally wasted because he neglects to hint, clearly and adequately, at an alternative frame of reference by which we may judge the actions and opinions of his characters. It would not have been beyond Conrad's power to make that provision if he had thought it necessary. Conrad seems to me to approve of Marlow, with only minor reservations—a fact reinforced by the similarities between their two careers. What is Achebe’s purpose in this passage? to explain that Conrad’s inclusion of multiple narrators confuses readers and leads them to misinterpret the text to explain that Conrad provides an alternative frame of reference of the narrator’s perception, actions and beliefs to explain that, even though Conrad is trying to separate himself from his characters’ morals, he most likely approves of them to explain that Conrad disapproves of Marlow’s actions and beliefs, and hopes to show the dangers of Marlow’s way of thinking
Answer:
to explain that, even though Conrad is trying to separate himself from his characters’ morals, he most likely approves of them (C)
Explanation:
When it is about Achebe’s purpose in the given passage it is "to explain that, even though Conrad is trying to separate himself from his characters’ morals, he most likely approves of them.” Hence, Option C is correct.
Who is Conrad?Conrad was a character in a novel called "An Image of Africa" by Chinua Achebe. Some of the most famous sayings of Conrad in the context of Africa’s portrayal were "the other world," the antithesis of Europe and therefore of civilization.
An attribute was given by Achebe to Conrad's statement as a "residue of antipathy to black people". The expression "Heart of Darkness" alludes to the interior of Africa (which was still being explored at the time) and the black people who still lived in the savagery.
Therefore, Option C is correct.

B. "But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt."
C. "It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity."
D. "We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation."
Answer:
Answers below:
Explanation:
Part A: Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. claimed that black people are still not truly free one hundred years after the Emancipation Proclamation.
Part B: The above claim is supported by the statement "...the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination."
The speech "I Have a Dream" was made by Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. about the injustice suffered by the black people in America despite the nation proclaiming itself to be independent and a democracy. The speech highlighted and boldly asserts the discrimination against the blacks and why racism is to be removed.
King claimed that despite the Emancipation Proclamation, black people are still not truly free. They are still discriminated against and even treated the same way as before. He stated that "the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation" and discrimination chains still have a strong hold on them.His famous speech "I Have A Dream" asserts the issues of discrimination and racism that his people, the blacks, are subjected to. And it was this speech that also brought a bigger focus on the rights of the blacks. Thus, the correct answers are option D for Part A and option A for Part B.
