"Born Bad"
Overview: A Double Entry Log is a way to closely read passages from a text, to discover what individual words
and sentences reveal about characters, conflicts, themes, etc. The passage below shows something about
Esperanza, her relationship to someone else in the neighborhood, and/or her opinion about a particular social
issue.
Directions: First, identify who is speaking or narrating. Second, explain what the context or situation is that is,
who is involved, where she is, at what time, and what is going on, etc., Third, explain what the quotation means
and how it is significant to the novel. (In other words, why is this quote important?) Keep in mind that quotations
rarely tell you why they are important, so you must use the clues given to you and really dig beneath the surface.
Fourth, note any stylistic devices (similes, metaphors, personification, symbols, alliteration, etc.), and finally, what
connections do you see between this excerpt and other vignettes in the novel? (Ideas of waiting feeling trapped,
making friends, etc.)
EXAMPLE:
Speaker: Esperanza is narrating
Situation: Esperanza has been watching Marin in the evenings. Her observations help
her to get to know Marin and to interpret what her actions might mean Esperanza has
a sense that Marin is waiting for change to happen to her.
Sample: from "Marin"
Significance: Esperanza understands that Marin thinks that her life will change when
someone comes into her life. That someone will be a man. Marin knows she can use
her physical attractiveness to get out of Mango Street, a place she doesn't like
Marin, under the streetlight, dancing by Esperanza appears to relate to Marin because she says, "I know." Esperanza also has
herself, is singing the same song
somewhere I know. Is waiting for a car singing the same song." I think that Esperanza would like to make change happen,
dreams of changing her life and getting beyond Mango Street But while Marin is stuck
to stop, a star to fall, someone to
change her life (27)
not just wait for someone to change her life."
Stylistic devices: A falling star is something you wish upon. It symbolizes Marin's
dependency on something outside herself to bring change.
Connections: Marin is like Sally, Rafaela and Minerva, other women on Mango Street
All of them seem trapped in relationships and circumstances that they want out of, but
don't know how to escape.

Read the excerpt from President John F. Kennedy’s inaugural address. Which statement best describes the main message of the passage?

In your hands, my fellow citizens, more than in mine, will rest the final success or failure of our course. Since this country was founded, each generation of Americans has been summoned to give testimony to its national loyalty. The graves of young Americans who answered the call to service surround the globe.

Now the trumpet summons us again—not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need—not as a call to battle, though embattled we are—but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in and year out, "rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation"—a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease and war itself.

And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.

My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.

A. War is the only way to solve the problems of the world.
B. People should work together to better their society.
C. Americans are incredibly loyal to their country.
D. The US government should help those in need.

Read the text carefully, then answer the question located beneath:

Time to "Bee" Wary, by Gordon Winters

Africanized honey bees were created in Brazil in 1957. Scientists mixed local bees with African ones to create a bee that would make more honey. They ended up with something much different. The new bees evolved in unexpected ways. They multiplied and migrated north. These Africanized honeybees are now known as killer bees for several scary but legitimate reasons.

Killer bees are far more aggressive than their relatives. They have been known to attack in great numbers, even when there has been no direct threat on their hives. They have swarmed because of loud noises, dark clothing, bright jewelry, and even strong perfume. They will chase a person for more than a quarter of a mile and remain angered for up to 24 hours.

Killer bees are also dangerous because of their sting. While most bees take up to 30 seconds to attack, killer bees sting in just 3 seconds. Their venom is no stronger than a regular bee's, but when one killer bee stings, others follow. With up to 80,000 members in a colony, victims are quickly overwhelmed. So many stings in such a short time can cause allergic reactions. Victims enter a state of shock, lose blood pressure, and in many cases, die.

A final reason why "killer" has been added to their name is the unfortunate number of deaths they have caused. Experts estimate that the Africanized honeybee moves at a rate of about 200 miles each year. As the bees claim new territory, they claim new victims as well. More than 1000 people have been stung to death in South and Central America. There have been rising numbers of attacks in Mexico and a handful in the United States. Once a swarm sets sights on a victim, it is very difficult for the victim to escape. Once attacked, it is very difficult to survive.

Thankfully, there has been no killer bee invasion as some once predicted. Although there is no need for panic, the threat of the killer bee is real and should be taken seriously. It is good practice to call a professional to remove beehives in your area. If you are stung multiple times by any insect, you should always seek medical attention. You may not be expert enough to tell the difference between a killer bee and a less dangerous one, so be smart. It is better to be safe than sorry.

Which details relate to the main fact in the third paragraph?

A. Killer bees attack in great numbers. They swarm for many reasons. They chase people and stay angry for hours.
B. Killer bees have very aggressive behavior. Their stings are very dangerous. They have caused many deaths.
C. Killer bees sting in just three seconds. They sting in large numbers. They cause allergic reactions in their victims.
D. Killer bees have been the cause of deaths in South and Central America. They've caused deaths in Mexico and the U.S.
