One Thousand Miles


“Gather around,” Abuela Lola yelled from the first floor. “It’s time for the annual family picture.”


Footsteps thundered from all corners of the house. Marco and Javier—cousins that Alejandro hadn’t seen since the last time that he and his mom had been in Los Angeles a year ago—got to the stairs before he did. He was unaccustomed to their energy, to the way they tackled each other and made boisterous comments over the dinner table. In his quiet house, the only noise during dinner came from the clink that his fork made against the plate.


“Hey, Alejandro,” they said as they knocked him to the side. He waited for them to pass and then walked gingerly down the steps of Abuela Lola’s house.


He always looked forward to when he and his mom visited her side of the family, but now, a few days after arrival, he had played soccer for more hours than he could count. All he wanted to do was find a puzzle somewhere quiet. But soon there would be the family picture, and then dinner, and even though he wanted to soak in the noise that he wouldn’t get for the rest of the year, it was too much right now.


“Alejandro! Venga,” Abuela Lola said as he rounded the corner to the kitchen. He looked for his mother in the crowd of relatives and calmed when he saw her towering above everyone else. He gave her the wide-eyed look that he always did when he felt overwhelmed. She laughed and put her hand in front of her mouth as though to squelch it.


Sandwiched between Marco’s elbow and Javier’s shoulder, Alejandro smiled until his mouth went numb. One pose, then another, then a silly pose, and finally, Tío Juan’s favorite: one where everyone jumped and was captured in suspension in the air for a fleeting second. When everyone scattered after the photo, Alejandro found his mom. His hands flew in front of his face, telling her about Marco and Javier. She nodded and signed back, telling him that it was only temporary.


He always wondered what these visits were like for his mother who was deaf—to be around moving mouths whose voices she couldn’t hear and music whose beat she could only feel through the floor when the volume was way up and her shoes were off. But there were other parts of the visit that had nothing to do with hearing—when she stood in front of the kitchen counter rolling balls of dough to make tortillas with Abuela Lola. Or when she held tiny tiles in front of her face to get the highest Scrabble score. After she inevitably won the game, she jumped up from the table and shouted, doing a little dance that Alejandro knew by heart.


He knew that these visits were different for her—that while Alejandro used these trips to absorb what it felt like to be in a noisy house, his mother got a chance to reconnect with family that she hadn’t seen in a year. To meet new babies that she’d only seen pictures of when the letters arrived at their house in Mexico. How she stayed up late rocking infants, tracing their delicate features with her finger, breathing in their baby smells. That for her, these visits closed the gap on the thousand miles that separated her from the family that had moved to Los Angeles ten years ago. "Sometimes," she had signed to Alejandro once, "the thousand miles feel like a world away."


“Alejandro, are you coming?” Javier called. He was standing in the backyard with a badminton racket in his hand.


Alejandro sighed. He wanted silence, wanted his quiet house with his mom, but he knew that would come sooner or later. For now, he had his extended family with their noise and their yelling and their laughter. He knew he would miss it when they were on the plane tomorrow morning. He peeked across the table at his mother who was looking back at him as though she knew just what he was thinking.


Go, she mouthed and signed at the same time.


“Coming,” he yelled back to Javier. He ran outside to join his cousins in one final game. “Who’s serving first?”


How does the setting of the story affect Alejandro in "One Thousand Miles"?


a) The unfamiliar pace of life at his grandmother's home in Mexico makes Alejandro miss his own home in Los Angeles.


b) The natural beauty of California makes Alejandro question where he and his mother live.


c) The quiet and sedate nature of life in Los Angeles inspires Alejandro to interact with his cousins.


d) The noise and bustle of Abuela Lola's house is initially exciting for Alejandro, but he gets tired of it quickly.

100 POINTS
Cite evidence from "The Man with the Garden Tool" suggesting that the poet, Markham, is a religious man.
Here is the whole poem:

The Man with the Garden Tool
WRITTEN AFTER SEEING MILLET'S WORLD-FAMOUS PAINTING

God made man in His own image;
in the image of God made He him. --Genesis.


Bowed by the weight of centuries he leans
Upon his garden tool and gazes on the ground,
The emptiness of ages in his face,
And on his back the burden of the world.
Who made him dead to rapture and despair,
A thing that grieves not and that never hopes,
Stolid and stunned, a brother to the ox?
Who loosened and let down this brutal jaw?
Whose was the hand that slanted back this brow?
Whose breath blew out the light within this brain?

Is this the thing the Lord God made and gave
To have dominion over sea and land;
To trace the stars and search the heavens for power;
To feel the passion of eternity?
Is this the Dream He dreamed who shaped the suns
And pillared the blue firmament with light?
Down all the stretch of the bad place to its last gulf
There is no shape more terrible than this—
More tongued with cries against the world's blind greed—
More filled with signs and portents for the soul—
More fraught with menace to the universe.

What gulfs between him and the seraphim!
Worker of the wheel of labor, what to him
Are Plato and the swing of Pleiades?
What the long reaches of the peaks of song,
The rift of dawn, the reddening of the rose?
Through this dread shape the suffering ages look;
Time's tragedy is in that aching stoop;
Through this dread shape humanity betrayed,
Plundered, profaned, and disinherited,
Cries protest to the Powers that made the world,
A protest that is also prophecy.

O masters, lords and rulers in all lands,
Is this the handiwork you give to God,
This monstrous thing distorted and soul-quenched?
How will you ever straighten up this shape;

Touch it again with immortality;
Give back the upward looking and the light;
Rebuild in it the music and the dream;
Make right the immemorial infamies,
Perfidious wrongs, immedicable woes?

O masters, lords and rulers in all lands,
How will the future reckon with this Man?
How answer his brute question in that hour
When whirlwinds of rebellion shake the world?
How will it be with kingdoms and with kings—
With those who shaped him to the thing he is—
When this speechless Terror shall reply to God,
After the silence of the centuries?

—Edwin Markham

Read "The Cask of Amontillado" by Edgar Allan Poe. (Links to an external site.) As you read, search for instances where the author seeks to inspire fear in either the reader or in the characters. Choose one of those instances and write an analytical paragraph about it.

Identify the subject of the following sentence.
The Venus flytraps were watered and fed by Rafiki.

According to Edwards, to whom has God promised eternal life?

God has laid himself under no obligation, by any promise to keep any natural man out of hell one moment. God certainly has made no promises either of eternal life, or of any deliverance or preservation from eternal death, but what are contained in the covenant of grace, the promises that are given in Christ, in whom all the promises are yea and amen. But surely they have no interest in the promises of the covenant of grace who are not the children of the covenant, who do not believe in any of the promises, and have no interest in the Mediator of the covenant.

So that, whatever some have imagined and pretended about promises made to natural men's earnest seeking and knocking, it is plain and manifest, that whatever pains a natural man takes in religion, whatever prayers he makes, till he believes in Christ, God is under no manner of obligation to keep him a moment from eternal destruction.
