Answer: "The World on the Turtle's Back". This Native American story is a creation myth about two brothers who helped create humans, animals, and all other earth inhabitants. Creation myths are often defined as stories which explain how life and the universe began. In this excerpt, twins were born from their mother who then died during birth. The twins buried their mother, where she grew corn, beans, and squash. "And from her grave grew the plants which the people still use." (Page 28) The twins had tension between them and the right-handed twin was inferior to the other. "The right-handed twin was the one who did everything just as he should." (Page28) He always tried to do what was right. As for the left-handed twin, the "devious" one, he "never said what he meant or meant what he said", (Page 28) he was always lying and doing things he shouldn't be doing. The twins created balance though, which is what the world needs to sustain life. The Indians called them "the straight mind and the crooked mind". (Page 28) With their special powers and ability, the brothers created animals from Clay and brought them to life. "The right-handed twin made the deer, and the left-handed twin made the mountain lion which kills the deer. But the right-handed twin there would always be more deer than mountain lions." (Page 30) The brothers then made more animals, and the right-handed twin created all delicious fruit and berries for the animals he had created, but the left-handed twin made poisonous plants and roots, as well as medicines "for good and for evil". (Page 30) The right-handed twin also created man, his "favorite creatures." (Page 30) Due to the tension building between the two brothers, they decided to battle one another in a lacrosse match, a Native American game played by two teams. The twins played vigorously all day and "the game was done. And neither had won.

Provide the name and description for each of the five social classes from The Canterbury Tales. List them in order from highest to lowest.
Answer:
SOCIAL CLASS
Social class have the ability to have many definitions depending on how many people are being asked. Some may say, it’s a way for people to be put in categories solely based off their financial stance or some may say it’s only a set of titles based on social status.
NOBLE
Close to the top of the system are the knights covered in their bright and shining armor filled with padding to help sooth the pain. Everyone isn’t fortunate enough to be a knight; you have to be the child of someone who’s placed in the noble class.
TRADESMEN / MERCHANTS
After the clergy system would be the tradesmen or merchants, which is occupied by people who worked jobs with a specific skill. In this class people made a decent living seeing that they were the only ones who can do whatever job it was that needed to done.

Explain the different viewpoints of Frederick Douglass and Captain Canot regarding slavery. What evidence does each use? How does each present his information?
Review the rubric to ensure you are turning in your best work.
Answer:
Reading multiple texts about a single topic—even if those texts express opposing viewpoints—can help deepen and improve your understanding. For that reason, you will now read an excerpt from Captain Canot, or Twenty Years of an African Slaver.
Before you begin, know that Canot was a slave trader. His views on the institution of slavery and the practice of treating human beings as cargo are repulsive. Likewise, his descriptions of the conditions that enslaved people faced aboard his ship are disturbing. Reading Canot’s work, however, offers us the chance to more fully understand the brutal realities of slavery and to develop a greater appreciation for Frederick Douglass’s efforts to see the institution ended.
Finally, as you read this memoir, remember that different texts—particularly difficult ones—require multiple reading strategies at once. So, make sure you draw upon every strategy in your comprehension toolbox: make predictions, stop and summarize, decode unfamiliar vocabulary, and ask yourself questions to check in on your comprehension. Use the Student Guide to apply reading strategies

`What do the words "khaki" and "colonel" indicate about jim corbett?
A: Jim was an army man
B: He loved to wear khaki clothes
C: He was honored by the army and a rank was conferred upon him
D: None of the above
Answer: D
Explanation:
I think it is D because Jim Corbett is a national hunger not an army man. B stated that he loved wearing khaki clothes which is not true because colonel is no where to be found in option B. Option C states he was honored by the army and a rank was conferenced upon him which is also wrong because khaki is not included anywhere. So with all of that information your answer would be B

Write a personal narrative essay that describes a significant experience that has shaped your identity. Develop the narrative through pacing, dialogue, and details that engage the reader.
What format or type of writing are you to create?
Who is your audience?
What topic are you to write about?
What is the purpose for writing?
Answer:
1. I want to write in prose, a narrative with a first person point of view. A short and direct story.
2. My audience will be students between 16 and 24 years old.
3. My theme will be the importance of resting and eating well.
4. My purpose is to share my experience of how the overload of tasks was harmful for me.
Explanation:
During my first year of college I felt very excited to start this phase of my life and was very anxious about the opportunities that came up at that time, but the situation was more difficult than I think. The amount of academic activities and the need to find a job took all my time, to the point that, in order to cope with all this, I started to neglect my diet and my sleep period.
It was Monday, 10 pm, I had just arrived from my part-time job and had 3 essays to deliver the next day, in the morning. As soon as I arrived, I had eaten a packet of cookies for lunch (this had been my lunch for days, as it was quick and practical).
"You look awful" said my roommate.
"Thank you," I said, ironically, as I threw a pillow at her.
Sierra and I had a good relationship, which allowed me to have peace of mind in the apartment we shared, which was a good thing after all.
"I'm going out to eat, do you want to go?" She said.
"No, thanks, I think you went to order a plaza later." I replied, as I saw the whole environment around me spin and Sierra's voice became more and more difficult to hear.
"Are you okay? Are you really looking weird? I can stay here if you ..."
I couldn't hear what she was saying, just being able to pay attention to the environment that was getting darker and darker, until I completely lost consciousness.
I don't know how long I was unconscious, but I woke up in a hospital room, where the nurse explained that I had a faint due to dehydration, malnutrition and probably lack of sleep. I was a little embarrassed, until the doctor arrived bringing my country with him, explaining what happened to me and how I should avoid going through it again.
The answer was simple, I had to respect the limitations of my body and eat and rest so that I could handle all of my responsibilities.
The format used for the writing will be a narrative essay. My audience will be students and the theme will be the importance of preparing well for an examination.
During my time in college, I always prepared well. I made sure that I attended all classes and did my assignments. I submitted my course works when due as well.
Before I attend classes for examinations, I read and practice well. I also pray. Due to this, I always pass my courses well. I was one of the best students in my class because I was always prepared and gave my best.
In conclusion, it's important to be always prepared.

Surrender Speech
by Black Hawk
1832
You have taken me prisoner with all my warriors. I am much grieved, for I expected, if I did not defeat you, to hold out much longer, and give you more trouble before I surrendered. I tried hard to bring you into ambush, but your last general understands Indian fighting. The first one was not so wise. When I saw that I could not beat you by Indian fighting, I determined to rush on you, and fight you face to face. I fought hard. But your guns were well aimed. The bullets flew like birds in the air, and whizzed by our ears like the wind through the trees in the winter. My warriors fell around me; it began to look dismal. I saw my evil day at hand. The sun rose dim on us in the morning, and at night it sunk in a dark cloud, and looked like a ball of fire. That was the last sun that shone on Black Hawk. His heart is dead, and no longer beats quick in his bosom. He is now a prisoner to the white men; they will do with him as they wish. But he can stand torture, and is not afraid of death. He is no coward. Black Hawk is an Indian.
He has done nothing for which an Indian ought to be ashamed. He has fought for his countrymen, the squaws and papooses, against white men, who came, year after year, to cheat them and take away their lands. You know the cause of our making war. It is known to all white men. They ought to be ashamed of it. The white men despise the Indians, and drive them from their homes. But the Indians are not deceitful. The white men speak bad of the Indian, and look at him spitefully. But the Indian does not tell lies; Indians do not steal.
An Indian who is as bad as the white men, could not live in our nation; he would be put to death, and eat [sic] up by the wolves. The white men are bad school-masters; they carry false looks, and deal in false actions; they smile in the face of the poor Indian to cheat him; they shake them by the hand to gain their confidence, to make them drunk, to deceive them, and ruin our wives. We told them to let us alone; but they followed on and beset our paths, and they coiled themselves among us like the snake. They poisoned us by their touch. We were not safe. We lived in danger. We were becoming like them, hypocrites and liars, adulterers, lazy drones, all talkers, and no workers.
We looked up to the Great Spirit. We went to our great father. We were encouraged. His great council gave us fair words and big promises, but we got no satisfaction. Things were growing worse. There were no deer in the forest. The opossum and beaver were fled; the springs were drying up, and our squaws and papooses without victuals to keep them from starving; we called a great council and built a large fire. The spirit of our fathers arose and spoke to us to avenge our wrongs or die . . . . We set up the war-whoop, and dug up the tomahawk; our knives were ready, and the heart of Black Hawk swelled high in his bosom when he led his warriors to battle. He is satisfied. He will go to the world of spirits contented. He has done his duty. His father will meet him there, and commend him.
Black Hawk is a true Indian, and disdains to cry like a woman. He feels for his wife, his children and friends. But he does not care for himself. He cares for his nation and the Indians. They will suffer. He laments their fate. The white men do not scalp the head; but they do worse—they poison the heart, it is not pure with them. His countrymen will not be scalped, but they will, in a few years, become like the white men, so that you can’t trust them, and there must be, as in the white settlements, nearly as many officers as men, to take care of them and keep them in order.
Farewell, my nation. Black Hawk tried to save you, and avenge your wrongs. He drank the blood of some of the whites. He has been taken prisoner, and his plans are stopped. He can do no more. He is near his end. His sun is setting, and he will rise no more. Farewell to Black Hawk.
Read this excerpt from the last paragraph of the speech.
Farewell, my nation. Black Hawk tried to save you, and avenge your wrongs. He drank the blood of some of the whites.
How does Black Hawk use rhetoric to advance his purpose in this excerpt?
A.) He directly addresses his nation because he does not intend for the white men to hear the last paragraph of his speech.
B.) He uses imagery to evoke feelings of remorse to show that he regrets his actions toward the white men.
C.) He uses imagery to paint a picture of the wrongs he tried to avenge, which furthers his purpose of describing the white men’s evils.
D.) He directly addresses his nation to show that even though he is surrendering, he still has allegiance to his nation.
