Read the excerpt from “Tools of the Spymaster."
The numbers that Major Tallmadge assigned to members of the Culper Ring were from a secret writing system he invented. He substituted digits for words that would be used in messages. "Long Island," for example, was 728, "arms" was 7, and "city" was 88. There was a number for each month, such as 341 for "January." He made four copies of his codes. He kept one and gave the others to Woodhull, Townsend, and General Washington. For words that did not have a number code, Tallmadge gave his agents a cipher. In a cipher, each letter in a message is replaced by another letter or a number.
The author’s purpose in this excerpt is to
A)teach readers about a code system used during the American Revolution.
B)persuade readers that ciphers are the greatest American invention.
C)argue that Major Tallmadge made a mistake in sharing copies of his codes.
D)compare the American codes for secret letters to the British codes.

Write a 1 to 2 paragraph evaluation of the essay titled "Take Another Look at Electric Cars". Use your graphic organizer and include textual evidence.
Heres the essay:
Take Another Look at Electric Cars
The average automobile driver pays $2,000 annually for gasoline. That $2,000 of gas is contributing to both the United States’ dependency on foreign countries and environmental pollution. Electric cars are beneficial for their owners and for the environment. Anybody who is buying a new car should consider purchasing an electric car.
Electric vehicles have a reputation as being expensive, but that has changed in the past few years. Purchase prices have been dropping and a federal tax credit lowers their actual cost even more. The average cost of a brand new gas automobile is approximately $31,500. Most new electric cars are priced between $30,000 and $40,000. That is a higher initial cost, but when you factor in the $7,500 federal tax credit (and possible additional state tax credits, depending on where you live), the price becomes comparable to that of a gasoline car. The annual costs associated with owning a car are much lower with an electric car. The average driver pays about $2,000 a year for gas. The average cost of electricity for a year of driving is $500. That will save $1,500 a year in fuel. Additionally, a more modern and streamlined engine will save drivers in other maintenance fees. One government study estimated that electric-car drivers will save over 40 percent in annual maintenance fees.
One of the biggest arguments against electric cars has been their limited range. Electric cars do have a shorter range, but that range is plenty for most drivers. The majority of American drivers travel less than 35 miles a day, and the average electric car has a range of about 100 miles on a full charge. Charging the car at home each night will provide enough power for daily driving and allow drivers to save time by avoiding stops at the gas station. And, as the number of electric cars on the road increases, more businesses and employers will install charging stations for their customers and employees, which will make charging a vehicle even easier.
An electric car may not be for everyone, but they have evolved beyond their original restrictions. With a purchase price that is comparable to a gas car, and reduced fuel and maintenance fees, anyone who is purchasing a new car should seriously consider an electric car. Spread the word, and check out an electric car today.

Answer:
Indirect characterization
Explanation:
I.
Above lone woodland ways that led
To dells the stealthy twilights tread
The west was hot geranium red;
And still, and still,
Along old lanes the locusts sow
With clustered pearls the Maytimes know,
Deep in the crimson afterglow,
We heard the homeward cattle low,
And then the far-off, far-off woe
Of "whippoorwill!" of "whippoorwill!"
II.
Beneath the idle beechen boughs
We heard the far bells of the cows
Come slowly jangling towards the house;
And still, and still,
Beyond the light that would not die
Out of the scarlet-haunted sky;
Beyond the evening-star's white eye
Of glittering chalcedony,
Drained out of dusk the plaintive cry
Of "whippoorwill," of "whippoorwill."
III.
And in the city oft, when swims
The pale moon o'er the smoke that dims
Its disc, I dream of wildwood limbs;
And still, and still,
I seem to hear, where shadows grope
Mid ferns and flowers that dewdrops rope,
Lost in faint deeps of heliotrope
Above the clover-sweetened slope,
Retreat, despairing, past all hope,
The whippoorwill, the whippoorwill.
Whippoorwill - a nocturnal bird with a distinctive call that is suggestive of its name
Question 1
Part A
What is a theme of “The Whippoorwill?
People sometimes long for what they cannot have.
In order to move forward, people must leave the past behind.
Nature soothes the heart and calms the mind.
There is a balance between nature and the city.
Question 2
Part B
How does the theme in Part A develop in the poem?
The woeful sound of the whippoorwill echos the despair the speaker feels living in the city.
The speaker thinks he hears the sound of the whippoorwill while walking in the city.
The city sky is filled with cloudy, gray smoke and it makes the speaker feel sad that the moon is hidden.
The speaker recalls his fondest memories of nature while living in the city.

What’s for Lunch?
Marcia Amidon Lusted
Zachary Maxwell was tired of trying to explain to his parents why he wanted to bring lunch to school instead of eating hot lunch. They couldn’t understand why he didn’t want to eat the gourmet food described on the school’s online menu, which sounded both nutritious and interesting. Zachary just couldn’t convince them that the food wasn’t as great as it sounded. So in the fall of 2011, he began sneaking a small video camera into the cafeteria at his school, to show his parents what the lunches were really like. Six months and 75 school lunches later, Zachary made a documentary film about his lunch called Yuck: A 4th Grader’s Short Documentary About School Lunch.

Answer:
A year or so ago my father, my brother, and I went on a trip to point Reyes.( in California) we have to travel through a few towns and in one of towns at a Walgreens there was a large amount of ducks and Chickens wandering around the area. It was quite the sight. We then have to drive through some forestry areas to get to point Reyes. The road was dirt and only one way. Most of the time in the left side of the road it was a sheer drop. It was a bit scary but also gorgeous. It was nothing compared when we finally made it to point Reyes. It was a light house. It wasn’t open at the time but we went anyways. The sight of the ocean was absolutely breathtaking. It was a sheer drop at the end of the lighthouse and with this fenced off area so you can look at the ocean. It was extremely windy and the ocean was pounding at the rocky cliffs below. It was the prettiest thing I’ve ever seen.
