Read the excerpt from "Justin Lebo.”

It was a BMX bike with a twenty-inch frame. Its original color was buried beneath five or six coats of gunky paint. Now it showed up as sort of a rusted red. Everything—the grips, the pedals, the brakes, the seat, the spokes—were bent or broken, twisted and rusted.

The author most likely included these details in order to

highlight the amount of money Justin had to spend to restore the bicycle.
illustrate why Justin wanted to give the bicycle away to someone else.
emphasize how hard Justin had to work to restore the bicycle.
show why Justin may have made a mistake in buying this bicycle.

Remembering Chris/Alex's letter to Ron Franz, how do you think Chris felt about his parents' lifestyle?

I remember when the world broke in,
To rip apart my soul,
For years after that one event,
I thought myself not whole,
My hours were spent with trying,
To fix it up with tape and glue,
Until one day I discovered,
Everyone else was broken too,
Here we were with pieces,
Of ourselves in both our hands,
So fragile and so open,
That I began to understand,
Maybe I'd been greedy,
To want my soul all to myself,
When it could be a lot more helpful,
In the palms of someone else,
Now every time I go somewhere,
I leave part of me behind,
And collect all of the pieces,
Of others' souls that I can find,
So when I'm meeting someone new, It's not just me they get,
But also tiny fragments,
Of all the others that I've met,
And my life's become much bigger,
Now that it's home to things so small, And if this is what "broken" means,

I do not mind at all.​

will see two lovers lose their lives: she was

who bear the guilt for this. O my poor girl,
it's I who led you to your death; I said
you were to reach this fearful place by night;
I let you be the first who would arrive.
O all you lions with your lairs beneath
this cliff, come now, and with your fierce jaws feast
upon my wretched guts!

Read the excerpt from a text about online learning. "Virtual schools were growing quite quickly," said Christina Martin, a policy analyst at the Cascade Policy Institute, a free-market think tank based in Portland, Ore. . . . The big issue, she said, was fairness. Some students have access to virtual schools because they have a learning coach to stay home with them, while others don’t. Also, Internet connections can be costly, and not every family has one. And families have to pay for their own printing. . . . "An adult must stay with a child during the day and make sure they’re doing their work. " This information would best support a claim about students’ need for personal coaches. Internet supervision. High-tech gadgets. Equal access to technology.

excerpt from "First Love"
Judith Ortiz Cofer

The lights had been turned off in the hallway and all I could see
was the lighted stairwell, at the bottom of which a nun would be
stationed. My father would be waiting just outside. I nearly
screamed when I felt someone grab me by the waist. But my
mouth was quickly covered by someone else's mouth. I was
being kissed. My first kiss and I could not even tell who it was. I
pulled away to see that face not two inches away from mine. It
was he. He smiled down at me. Did I have a silly expression on
my face? My glasses felt crooked on my nose. I was unable to
move or to speak. More gently, he lifted my chin and touched his
lips to mine. This time I did not forget to enjoy it. Then, like the
phantom lover he was, he walked away into the darkened
corridor and disappeared

Give three clues that indicate that the poet is taking a humorous tone in this poem.

“Macavity the Mystery Cat” – by T.S. Eliot

Macavity's a Mystery Cat: he's called the Hidden Paw -
For he's the master criminal who can defy the Law.
He's the bafflement of Scotland Yard, the Flying Squad's despair:
For when they reach the scene of crime - Macavity's not there!

Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity,
He's broken every human law, he breaks the law of gravity.
His powers of levitation would make a fakir stare,
And when you reach the scene of crime - Macavity's not there!
You may seek him in the basement, you may look up in the air -
But I tell you once and once again, Macavity's not there!

Macavity's a ginger cat, he's very tall and thin;
You would know him if you saw him, for his eyes are sunken in.
His brow is deeply lined with thought, his head is highly domed;
His coat is dusty from neglect, his whiskers are uncombed.
He sways his head from side to side, with movements like a snake;
And when you think he's half asleep, he's always wide awake.

Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity,
For he's a fiend in feline shape, a monster of depravity.
You may meet him in a by-street, you may see him in the square -
But when a crime's discovered, then Macavity's not there!

He's outwardly respectable. (They say he cheats at cards.)
And his footprints are not found in any file of Scotland Yard's.
And when the larder's looted, or the jewel-case is rifled,
Or when the milk is missing, or another Peke's been stifled,
Or the greenhouse glass is broken, and the trellis past repair -
Ay, there's the wonder of the thing! Macavity's not there!

And when the Foreign Office find a Treaty's gone astray,
Or the Admiralty lose some plans and drawings by the way,
There may be a scrap of paper in the hall or on the stair -
But it's useless to investigate - Macavity's not there!
And when the loss has been disclosed, the Secret Service say:
`It must have been Macavity!' - but he's a mile away.
You'll be sure to find him resting, or a-licking of his thumbs,
Or engaged in doing complicated long-division sums.

Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity,
There never was a Cat of such deceitfulness and suavity.
He always has an alibi, and one or two to spare:
At whatever time the deed took place - MACAVITY WASN'T THERE!
And they say that all the Cats whose wicked deeds are widely known
(I might mention Mungojerrie, I might mention Griddlebone)
Are nothing more than agents for the Cat who all the time
Just controls their operations: the Napoleon of Crime!
