From The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain

There was a rustling of dresses, and the standing congregation sat down. The boy whose history this book relates did not enjoy the prayer, he only endured it—if he even did that much. He was restive all through it; he kept tally of the details of the prayer, unconsciously—for he was not listening, but he knew the ground of old, and the clergyman's regular route over it—and when a little trifle of new matter was interlarded, his ear detected it and his whole nature resented it; he considered additions unfair, and scoundrelly. In the midst of the prayer a fly had lit on the back of the pew in front of him and tortured his spirit by calmly rubbing its hands together, embracing its head with its arms, and polishing it so vigorously that it seemed to almost part company with the body, and the slender thread of a neck was exposed to view; scraping its wings with its hind legs and smoothing them to its body as if they had been coat-tails; going through its whole toilet as tranquilly as if it knew it was perfectly safe. As indeed it was; for as sorely as Tom's hands itched to grab for it they did not dare—he believed his soul would be instantly destroyed if he did such a thing while the prayer was going on. But with the closing sentence his hand began to curve and steal forward; and the instant the "Amen" was out the fly was a prisoner of war. His aunt detected the act and made him let it go.

The minister gave out his text and droned along monotonously through an argument that was so prosy that many a head by and by began to nod—and yet it was an argument that dealt in limitless fire and brimstone and thinned the predestined elect down to a company so small as to be hardly worth the saving. Tom counted the pages of the sermon; after church he always knew how many pages there had been, but he seldom knew anything else about the discourse. However, this time he was really interested for a little while. The minister made a grand and moving picture of the assembling together of the world's hosts at the millennium when the lion and the lamb should lie down together and a little child should lead them. But the pathos, the lesson, the moral of the great spectacle were lost upon the boy; he only thought of the conspicuousness of the principal character before the on-looking nations; his face lit with the thought, and he said to himself that he wished he could be that child, if it was a tame lion.

I will give brainlest. Read the excerpt from “Tears of Autumn.”

She was thin and small, her dark eyes shadowed in her pale face, her black hair piled high in a pompadour that seemed too heavy for so slight a woman. She clung to the moist rail and breathed the damp salt air deep into her lungs. Her body seemed leaden and lifeless, as though it were simply the vehicle transporting her soul to a strange new life, and she longed with childlike intensity to be home again in Oka Village.

Which words from the excerpt best create an uneasy tone?


heavy, leaden, shadowed


slight, lifeless, dark


childlike, clung, longed

Read this excerpt from "Schenck v. U.S., 249 U.S. 47 (1919)" and answer the question that follows:
The document in question upon its first printed side recited the first section of the Thirteenth Amendment, said that the idea
embodied in it was violated by the conscription act and that a conscript is little better than a convict. In impassioned language it
intimated that conscription was despotism in its worst form and a monstrous wrong against humanity in the interest of Wall
Street's chosen few. It said, 'Do not submit to intimidation,' but in form at least confined itself to peaceful measures such as a
petition for the repeal of the act. The other and later printed side of the sheet was headed 'Assert Your Rights.' It stated reasons
for alleging that any one violated the Constitution when he refused to recognize 'your right to assert your opposition to the draft,"
and went on, 'If you do not assert and support your rights, you are helping to deny or disparage rights which it is the solemn duty
of all citizens and residents of the United States to retain.' It described the arguments on the other side as coming from cunning
politicians and a mercenary capitalist press, and even silent consent to the conscription law as helping to support an infamous
conspiracy.
Which of the following is a statement supported by the protest document?
O Deny or disparage rights
O Support an infamous conspiracy
O Silently consent to the conscription
O Do not submit to intimidation

We know that Jules Verne is the author of Journey to the Center of the Earth. This book is a classic that
has spawned many adventure stories, television shows and at least two movies. In order to understand
the book a little bit better, it helps if we know a little something about the author. Write down a couple of
questions that you think might be helpful or interesting to know about him. Once you have generated
those questions, it is time to do a little detective work. Using the Internet (remember focus on sites that
seem reputable) or your local library and helpful librarian, try to find answers to the questions you came
up with. Write out your answers to the questions in a 100-word response in your journal.
