Read the poem A Good Play:

We built a ship upon the stairs
All made of the back-bedroom chairs
And filled it full of sofa pillows
To go a-sailing on the billows.

We took a saw and several nails,
And water in the nursery pails;
And Tom said, "Let us also take
An apple and a slice of cake";—
Which was enough for Tom and me
To go a-sailing on, till tea.

We sailed along for days and days,
And had the very best of plays;
But Tom fell out and hurt his knee,
So there was no one left but me.

Which sentence in the passage uses definition to help explain the meaning of the word Celts?
Halloween

Halloween is one of the oldest celebrations in the world. In fact, it dates back to before Christianity began. Today, Halloween mainly is celebrated by wearing scary costumes and asking for treats. However, its primary purpose was to remember the dead. It was said to be a day when the spirits would cross over to the next world. Also, the day was originally used to mark the beginning of winter. This tradition was followed by the Celts. This ancient group of people lived in the Bronze Age. Halloween, for them, was rather glum and not a day for rejoicing. Over the years, the holiday became less grim. People began seeing it as a day of celebration. Today, families carve pumpkins to decorate their houses. They also play games, such as bobbing for apples.

In the story Little Women, one family brings breakfast to another on Christmas morning. Read this passage and then answer the question that follows:

A poor, bare, miserable room it was, with broken windows, no fire, ragged bedclothes, a sick mother, wailing baby, and a group of pale, hungry children cuddled under one old quilt, trying to keep warm.

How the big eyes stared and the blue lips smiled as the girls went in.

"Ach, mein Gott! It is good angels come to us!" said the poor woman, crying for joy.

What implicit meaning can you find about the sick woman and her children from this text?

The mother did not know how to start a fire.
The mother's illness made her children hate her.
The mother was unable to provide for their needs.
The mother and children lived in an abandoned building.

excerpt adapted from
Early Factory Labor in New England
by Harriet H. Robinson

In 1832, Lowell was little more than a factory village. Five "corporations" were started, and the cotton mills belonging to them were building. Help was in great demand and stories were told all over the country of the new factory place, and the high wages that were offered to all classes of work-people. These stories reached the ears of mechanics' and farmers' sons and gave new life to solitary and dependent women in distant towns and farmhouses.

The working hours of all the girls extended from five o'clock in the morning until seven in the evening, with one half-hour each, for breakfast and dinner.

Those of the mill-girls who had homes generally worked from eight to ten months in the year. The rest of the time was spent with parents or friends. A few of these girls taught school during the summer months. Their life in the factory was made pleasant to them. In those days, there was no need of advocating the doctrine of the proper relation between employer and employed. Help was too valuable to be ill-treated.

Passage 2

excerpt from
The Spirit of Discontent
by anonymous

"I will not stay in Lowell any longer; I am determined to give my notice this very day," said Ellen Collins, as the earliest bell was tolling to remind us of the hour for labor.

"Why, what is the matter, Ellen? It seems to me you have dreamed out a new idea! Where do you think of going? and what for?"

"I am going home, where I shall not be obliged to rise so early in the morning, nor be dragged about by the ringing of a bell, nor confined in a close noisy room from morning till night. I will not stay here; I am determined to go home in a fortnight."

"And so, Ellen," said I, "you think it unpleasant to rise so early in the morning and be confined in the noisy mill so many hours during the day. And I think so, too. All this, and much more, is very annoying, no doubt. But we must not forget that there are advantages, as well as disadvantages, in this employment, as in every other. If we expect to find all sunshine and flowers in any station in life, we shall most surely be disappointed. We are very busily engaged during the day; but then we have the evening to ourselves, with no one to dictate to or control us.

By the time I was in high school, I was a popular kid, and it showed in my name. Friends called me Jules or Hey Jude, and once a group of troublemaking friends my mother forbade me to hang out with called me Alcatraz. I was Hoo-lee-tah only to Mami and Papi and uncles and aunts who came over to eat sancocho on Sunday afternoons – old world folk whom I would just as soon go back to where they came from and leave me to pursue whatever mischief I wanted to in America. JUDY ALCATRAZ, the name on the "Wanted" poster would read. Who would ever trace her to me?

Read this passage from Through the Looking-Glass. "That’s just what I complain of,” said Humpty Dumpty. "Your face is the same as everybody has—the two eyes, so—” (marking their places in the air with this thumb) "nose in the middle, mouth under. It’s always the same. Now if you had the two eyes on the same side of the nose, for instance—or the mouth at the top—that would be some help.” "It wouldn’t look nice,” Alice objected. But Humpty Dumpty only shut his eyes and said, "Wait till you’ve tried.” Alice waited a minute to see if he would speak again, but as he never opened his eyes or took any further notice of her, she said "Good-bye!” once more, and, getting no answer to this, she quietly walked away. Why does Alice leave Humpty Dumpty in this passage? because she is ashamed of him because she wants to be cruel to him because he stops communicating with her because he laughs at her appearance

I NEED THIS FAST!!! NO LINKS PLEASE Read the passage from "Names/Nombres" by Julia Alvarez.

“Say your name in Spanish, oh, please say it!” I had made mouths drop one day by rattling off my full name, which, according to Dominican custom, included my middle names, Mother’s and Father’s surnames for four generations back.

“Julia Altagracia María Teresa Álvarez Tavares Perello Espaillat Julia Pérez Rochet González." I pronounced it slowly, a name as chaotic with sounds as a Middle Eastern bazaar or market day in a South American village.

What is the most likely reason why Julia does not like to say her whole name?

Her entire name is too difficult for her to pronounce.
Her friends like to make fun of her Dominican name.
It embarrasses her because it reflects her ethnicity.
She does not like saying it, because it is too much trouble.
