1) what are two card games that George half - heartedly plays during chapter 5?
2) Carlson wants to put Candy’s dog out of its misery. Candy wants the dog to remain alive. Who’s right? why?
3) How much money does candy have? Where did he get the money? Why is Candy so keen to join George & Lennie on their dream farm?
4) Why does Curley attack Lennie? At what point does Lennie defend herself? What’s important about this?
5) Lennie had just maimed the boss’s son. What does Slim do to ensure that George & Lennie won’t get fired?

Answer: 1. The two games are euchre and solitaire. Euchre is a competitive game and Whit agrees to play with George, but no hand ever gets dealt because of the tension in the room over Candy's dog. Symbolically, this shows that George is unwilling to connect with Whit or that he doesn't want to compete with the other men.

2. We really must look at this situation within the context of the time and place. the story takes place during the depression era in the United States. These are ranch men who work hard. Having animals as pets is not a priority. Many men share the bunkhouse and Candy's old dog affects them all. Candy's old dog is seen as a liability in a world that exists on practicality and survival. It is actually Slim who gives the nod for a final decision. Slim is seen as a calm, kind, and rational voice on the ranch. I think it was better for the dog to be put down.

3. candy has a lot of money for the position that he's in. he got $250 for losing his hand on the job, $50 in the bank, and he has $50 more coming to him soon. And he lost his hand and they was going kicked him or killed him bc that wasn’t much to do that is why is want to join them

4. curley was accusing slim of looking at his wife inappropriately. curley thinks that lennie is laughing at him, but he is actually laughing to himself while thinking about his plan with lennie and george. And when George tell him to go ahead and he defend himself when he couldn’t take no more.

5. Curley agree to say that his hand was caught in a machine, so as to avoid the embarrassment of other people finding out he was taken down so quickly by Lennie. Curley agrees to keep quiet.

Read the excerpt from The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind by William Kamkwamba.

A sudden gust muffled the voices below, then picked up into a steady wind. It took hold of my T-shirt and whistled through the tower rungs. Reaching over, I removed a bent piece of wire that locked the machine's spinning wheel in place. Once released, the wheel and arms began to turn. They spun slowly at first, then faster and faster, until the force of their motion rocked the tower. My knees buckled, but I held on.

Which character trait do the details in the excerpt reveal about Kamkwamba?

a. curiosity
b. empathy
c. loyalty
d. determination

“The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus”
In the text, Doctor Faustus has chosen a particular fate. What does his address to Helen of Troy reveal about what he values? Support your answer using details from the text.

Introduction
In Greek mythology, Helen of Troy was the most beautiful woman in Greece and had many suitors. When Menelaus was chosen as her husband, her other suitors vowed to protect their marriage. Years later, Paris, having been promised the most beautiful woman in the world by Aphrodite, went to Sparta, and while Menelaus was away, fled with Helen to Troy. Menelaus and Helen's former suitors joined forces to retrieve her from Paris, which began the ten-year Trojan War. Paris was killed during the conflict, and Helen was married to his brother Deiphobus. When Deiphobus was killed, Menelaus took Helen back to Sparta.

The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus tells the story of a scholar who sells his soul to the devil to be able to perform "black magic" for twenty-four years. At the end of the play, just before he must die to fulfill this commitment, his last desire is to see Helen of Troy once more. He had previously conjured her spirit for three scholars who wished to see the woman they had decided had been most admired for her beauty.
