Imagine you are Kamkwamba, returning home to your family to tell them about your discovery at the library. In 250 words, state the case for constructing a windmill for the family, using evidence from the text to support your claims. Why does a windmill mean "more than just power"? Explain all of the benefits a windmill would bring, as well as the challenges.

Answer and Explanation:

When I read about the windmills, I felt that I could make a difference for my family and free them from the sad and suffering life they were going through. I went further, and considered freeing my entire community, because that was what the mill would represent for us, freedom, in addition to electricity, since we would be free from hunger, thirst and the factors that prevent us from having life to the full.

I ran home and explained to my country how it was possible to create a windmill with what we already have and that would bring us many benefits. I didn't feel their approval, but a strong disbelief, which gave me more willpower to research and make my idea possible. I ignored hunger and difficulties, I studied a lot and using sucara, those of an old tractor and half of a bicycle I managed to create a windmill, which, although it seems rudimentary, worked perfectly.

Select two details from the text that best support the inference that Mr. Conway is a polite and courteous person.

Which sentence in the passage is a call to action?
Social Networking Dangers
Social networking has taken the world by storm in the last few years. But, like any technological wonder, it has its drawbacks. And these drawbacks outweigh all its benefits.

Students spend considerable time on social networking sites every day. This distracts them from their studies and prevents them from socializing with people in real life. Even worse, social media websites are frequently used for cyberbullying and posting hateful comments. We cannot let our children fall prey to so much negativity and hatred.

The only way to protect the younger generation is to have a law that prevents children and teenagers from accessing such sites. So write a letter to your federal and state lawmakers urging them to bring about a change.

Nicholas’s Diary: April 2 and 3 Friday, April 2 Well, it’s only 10 more hours until my father and I leave for our treasure hunt. Every Saturday morning for as long as I can remember I have seen him leave, always by himself, to look for treasure. I have always longed to go with him, and he’s always told me that someday I would get the chance. I was so excited when he told me I would finally have my chance that I was bouncing off the walls like a rubber ball and springing from one place to the next the rest of the day. He has always been as quiet as a mouse about the treasure that he finds, scurrying away with his equipment in the morning and piling up his treasure in his study. Even though he says he always comes home with something, he has never shown it to me or even told me what type of treasure it is. Is it gold, or silver, or maybe it’s precious jewels? Whatever it is, tomorrow I will find out, and hopefully he’ll let me bring some to class so that I can show my friends since I’ve been bragging about it to them ever since Dad told me I could go! Saturday, April 3 The treasure hunt was fun, but it was not what I expected. Dad and I left early in the morning and headed for the same woods that we sometimes go hiking in on Sundays. I never would have thought they hold treasure, but what was really odd was when Dad told me to leave the shovels at home because we wouldn’t need them. But what he did bring with him was a bright yellow GPS . I had seen it in his truck many times before. I always wondered what he did with it. Today I found out. Dad and I wandered into the woods, first staying on the hiking path I had taken several times before and then veering off the path. The forest was like a statue; it was still and covered in damp moss and dead leaves; it didn't even seem alive. It appeared that no one had been there for a long time so I knew that this treasure must be old and far under the ground. How were we going to get to it without shovels? As Dad kept his eyes on the GPS , I looked around, and suddenly I noticed a patch of leaves that was disturbed and a log that looked like it had been moved. When I asked Dad about it, his eyes lit up, and he said he saw the treasure. He reached under the log and pulled out a plastic box with a label that read “Official Geocache.” I didn’t know what an official geocache was, but I soon found out when Dad opened it. Inside was a little notebook and a bunch of small items like a set of dice, a toy car, and a large silver dollar. Dad said that he thought the toy car was cool, so he took it out and put it in his pocket and then pulled a golf ball from his other pocket and put it in the box. He wrote his name and my name in the little notebook and then closed the box and put it back where he found it. Geocaching, which is what Dad later told me this type of treasure hunting is called, was much different than digging for gold in the ground. But I thought it was fun, and I hope Dad takes me again next Saturday.

The blood of his body recoiled before it. The blood was alive, like the dog, and like the dog, it wanted to hide away and cover itself up from the fearful cold. So long as he walked four miles an hour, he pumped that blood, willy-nilly, to the surface; but now it ebbed away and sank down into the recesses of his body. The extremities were the first to feel its absence.
