For sixty years she had prayed against remembering him
and against losing her soul in the deep pit of hell, and now
the two things were mingled in one and the thought of him
was a smoky cloud from hell that moved and crept in her
head. Wounded vanity, Ellen, ... Don't let your wounded
vanity get the upper hand of you. Plenty of girls get jilted.
- "The Jilting of Granny Weatherall" by Katherine Anne
Porter
But though I have wept and fasted, wept and prayed,
Though I have seen my head (grown slightly bald) brought
in upon a platter,
Tam no prophet - and here's no great matter;
T have seen the moment of my greatness flicker,
And I have seen the eternal Footman hold my coat, and
snicker,
And in short, I was afraid.
- "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," by T. S. Eliot.
Which best states the theme that is developed in both excerpts?​

Answer:

Both texts present a moment of human weakness

Explanation:

The first text shows a moment when Ellen is going through a delicate moment, which left her fragile, with wounded pride and shaken vanity. The second text shows a moment when a character feels a strong fear for a situation that is happening at the moment and that makes him apprehensive.

Both texts present moments of human fragility, when an individual is vulnerable and may have abnormal attitudes as a way to protect himself.

One important economic factor in producing ethanol is its influence on the price of corn. Corn prices have more than doubled since 2005 because of increased demand, according to financial experts. Farmers know that corn is highly sought after, so they allot more space on their farms to grow large amounts of corn. This leaves less room for growing other kinds of crops, such as wheat or soybeans. These smaller amounts force suppliers to raise the prices of these now secondary crops as well. Bread and cereal manufactures are also involved in the economics of ethanol. These companies then pass rising costs of their crops to consumers, leading to higher prices at the grocery store.
Which statement summarizes how the chart illustrates the author's position on ethanol?

A) The chart supports the author's claim that more corn used for ethanol means less corn for livestock.
B) The chart supports the author's claim that not only the price of corn, but the prices of wheat and soybeans have risen as well.
C) The chart supports the author's theory about why the price of corn has risen sharply in the last few years.
D) The chart shows that the history of agriculture has proven that corn prices will level out naturally.

"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.
See task below:

How does the author's use of the lines "Who can I
follow? / Cuz I don't want to lead' support the theme
that a person can see herself differently than others
see her?
O It shows that she does not want to be first in her
class.
O It shows that she does not see herself as a leader.
O It shows that she is against spelling rules.
O It shows that nobody expects her to be a leader.

The Big Mystery of My Future History
Marie Devers

1 When I think about my destiny, that cloudy cool mirage,
The options and the chances overlap in a collage.

3 I sometimes spend an afternoon in dreams of come what may,
A changeable amusement, better than any matinee.

5 Ambitious as I am, there is so much that I foresee,
I’m writing seven million drafts of my biography.

7 Youth is like a blindfold to the life I’ve yet to meet,
I can’t make out the future with my life so incomplete.

9 Who will be the obstacles, opposing my success?
And will they win, or will I be the most victorious?

11 I hope that I am valiant at all my hopeful chances,
And that I handle, gracefully, my unique circumstances.

13 I tell myself when thinking of this future publication,
That whims I can’t predict are arranging their formation.

15 Trophies sit un-etched in a factory someplace,
Waiting for my name to illustrate their empty space.

17 No matter how much algebra I use to see what’s next,
The equations still have missing parts, defined as only X.

19 A mosaic in development, my life’s still so unsure,
Yet bound to be exciting as any novel from the store.

21 Do you ever stop and tell yourself your living narrative?
The fabric that you’re weaving that will be the life you live.

23 I dare you now to play this game. Pick up your mental pen,
And fearlessly create the book your life is waiting in.

Read the passage on the left to answer the following questions:

2)
Why does the author compare her Youth to a blindfold?
A) The author is trying to express how afraid she is of her future and its decisions.
B) The author is saying that she cannot see past her youth into her future life choices.
C) The author is lamenting how foolish, ridiculous and impulsive youthful decisions can be.
D) The author is saying that when you're young, all adults try to blind you from your future.

What Asthma Is
1 Asthma is a disease that affects your lungs. It is the most common long-term disease of children. It causes repeated episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and nighttime or early morning coughing.

2 We know that family history contributes to susceptibility, but in most cases we don’t know what causes asthma to develop, and we don’t know how to cure asthma. You can control your asthma by knowing the warning signs of an attack, avoiding things that trigger an attack, and following the advice of your doctor.

Effects of Asthma
3 In 2001, 20.3 million Americans had asthma, and 12 million had had an asthma attack in the previous year. If a person has a parent with asthma, he or she is three to six times more likely to develop asthma than is a person who does not have a parent with asthma.

How Asthma Is Diagnosed
4 Asthma can be difficult to diagnose, especially in children under 5 years old. Regular physical exams that include checks of lung function and for allergies can help make the right diagnosis.

5 A health-care provider trying to diagnose asthma will ask you questions about coughing, especially coughing at night, and whether breathing problems are worse after physical activity or during a particular time of year. Providers also ask about other symptoms, such as chest tightness, wheezing, and colds that last more than 10 days.

6 Also, a provider will ask about your family history of asthma, allergy and other breathing problems, and your home environment. He or she also will ask about lost school or work days and limits on your activity.

7 Testing of lung function, called spirometry, is another way to diagnose asthma. A spirometer is a piece of equipment that measures the largest amount of air you can exhale after taking a very deep breath. Airflow can be measured before and after you use an asthma medication.

What An Asthma Attack Is
8 Airways are the paths that carry air to the lungs. As the air moves through the lungs, the airways become smaller, like branches of a tree. During an attack, the sides of the airways in your lungs become inflamed and swollen. Muscles around the airways tighten, and less air passes in and out of the lungs. Excess mucus forms in the airways, clogging them even more. The attack, also called an episode, can include coughing, chest tightness, wheezing, and trouble breathing.

Causes Of An Asthma Attack
9Environmental exposures, such as house dust mites and environmental tobacco smoke, are important triggers of an attack. Some of these triggers are listed in the box below.

How Asthma Is Treated
10 You can control your asthma and avoid an attack by taking your medicine as prescribed and avoiding the triggers that can cause an attack. It’s just as important that you remove the triggers in your environment that you know make your asthma worse.

11 Medicine for asthma is different for each person. It can be inhaled or taken as a pill and comes in two types—quick-relief and long-term control. Quick-relief medicines control the symptoms of an asthma attack. If you are using your quick-relief medicines more and more you should visit your health-care provider to change your asthma management plan. Long-term control medicines make you have fewer and milder attacks, but they don’t help you if you’re having an attack.

Important Asthma Triggers:

Dust Mites
12 Mattress covers and pillow case covers provide a barrier between house dust mites and the person with asthma. Down-filled pillows, quilts, or comforters should not be used and stuffed animals and clutter should be removed from bedrooms.

Pets
13 Furry pets may trigger an attack. The simplest solution to this situation is to find another home for the pet. However, some pet owners may be too attached to their pets or unable to locate a safe new home for the animal. Any animal causing an allergic reaction should not be allowed in the bedroom. Pets should be kept outside as much as possible and bathed weekly. People with asthma are not allergic to their pet’s fur,so trimming the pet’s fur will not help your asthma. Frequent vacuuming will reduce the presence of the allergen. If the room has a hard surface floor, it should be damp mopped weekly.

Mold
14 When mold is inhaled, it can cause asthma attacks. Eliminating mold throughout the home can help control asthma attacks. Keep humidity levels between 35% and 50%. In hot, humid climates, this may require the use of air conditioning and/or dehumidifiers. Fixing water leaks and cleaning up any mold in the home can also help.

By defining unfamiliar terms such as spirometry, spirometer, and episode, the writer makes this passage
A) more convincing.
B) more complicated.
C) easier to understand.
D) more interesting to a doctor.
