Answer:
Chapter 3: The Hiding-Place
When the cage stops, a flashlight illuminates Joseph’s face. Joseph is holding a large chunk of chocolate that appears like a gun in the dark; he says he has a revolver pointed, and if the person makes a sound, he will shoot. The voice swears in Polish, not German, so Joseph’s manner becomes gentler. He tells the man to unload the cage and to take him to where he lives.
The man obeys and takes Joseph to his chalet. There is an old woman sitting by a bright fire. Joseph explains why he is wearing the Nazi uniform, and shows them his number on his arm. They believe him, and bravely decide to let him stay. They give him a warm bed and tell him he can hide in the woodshed if guards come looking for him.
However, when German voices sound out the next morning there, is no time to run to the shed, so Joseph climbs into the chimney. He is almost discovered, but soot puffing out of the chimney leads the Germans to run away for fear of dirtying their uniforms.
Joseph remains for two weeks with the old couple, who treat him as a son. He eats well and feels at peace for the first time in a long while. He is often tempted to go outside, but knows he cannot expose himself.
When it is time to leave, the old man guides him for three days until they clear the precipitous mountains. They reach the edge of the snow line and Joseph is filled with happiness when he sees flowers. The old man blesses him and wishes him good fortune.

A Day on the Trail
by Jerry Miller
The sun has not yet risen, but Mrs. Keegan is awake already and starting her breakfast fire. The other women in this wagon train of fifteen families also are out of bed. The two men who had guarded the cattle, horses, sheep, mules, and oxen during the night herd the animals back to camp. The animals have to be guarded constantly to protect them from stampeding, being stolen, or wandering off and getting lost.
By the time the sun comes up, the rest of the travelers are also awake and preparing breakfast, which consists of coffee, milk, bacon, and biscuits. After eating, it is time to clean up, milk the cows, repack the wagons, and harness the teams. The two men who will serve as today's scout and hunter ride off on their horses.
Whips crack, mules bray, oxen low, and the day's march begins with Mr. Keegan walking beside the family's team of six oxen. Mule drivers sit on wagon seats, but oxen drivers walk beside their animals. Nine-year-old Joe Keegan and his twelve-year-old sister, Meg, also walk. Mr. Keegan's brother, Ezra, rides their saddle horse as he herds the train's cattle and sheep.
Mrs. Keegan rides in the wagon with three-year-old Helen. Except for mule drivers, only small children, sick people, or women caring for them ride in wagons. The four- by ten-foot wagon beds already are piled high with enough food for a six-month trip, tools, furniture, cooking supplies, clothes, medicine, family heirlooms[1], and every other necessity. The Keegans' wagon also contains a butter churn filled with cream from the morning milking. Each day, the wagon's jolting churns the cream into butter.
The prairie is flat but rough, and riding in a wagon is uncomfortable. It is better to walk alongside the oxen. They move at a steady two miles an hour, making it easy to keep pace. Walkers can avoid the dust, pick wildflowers, and enjoy exploring the prairie dog villages or strange rock formations along the trail.
Today, the Keegans are thrilled by the sight of Chimney Rock[2] rising high above the prairie. But they also pass several wooden crosses that mark fresh graves. Seeing the graves brings chills to Mrs. Keegan. What if her husband dies on this trip? What if she, like so many other mothers before her, has to leave a child in one of those lonely graves? There is no doctor on the trip, and no cure for the deadly cholera[3].
After five hours spent covering ten miles, it is time for the noon break. Lunch is the same as breakfast, except for some fresh greens Meg picked on the prairie. Suddenly, twelve Sioux Indians frighten everyone by riding into camp, demanding to be fed. The wagon train is crossing their land, and they intend to collect a toll of coffee, bacon, and bread. Mrs. Keegan and the other women hurry to feed the Indians while Joe and Meg stare in wonder. These strange men in blankets, feathers, and animal skins are the first Native Americans they have seen.
Two hours after they stop, the people and animals begin their march again. It is hot and dusty. Everyone is tired. Joe, daydreaming about dinner, hopes there will be antelope or buffalo to eat instead of bacon. But that is not likely. The men do not have any experience at hunting on the prairie. Besides, wild animals have started to avoid the heavily traveled trail. Maybe on Sunday's half-holiday from travel, his mother will put some beans on to cook during the preaching. Everyone likes beans, but they do take a long time to cook, and fuel is scarce.
After another eight miles, it is time to camp for the night. The wagons are set up in a circle, forming a temporary fort of protection from intruders and wild animals. The horses are unhitched and unharnessed. Meg and Joe hurry to gather buffalo chips. This dry manure is used as fuel because there is seldom any wood to be found on the prairie. The men feed and water the animals and check their hooves. If the wagon train is to reach California, its animals must be well cared for. The women walk to a nearby stream and wash themselves, the children, and some clothing and diapers. Dinner is coffee, milk, pickles, fresh bread with butter and bacon. After dinner, the leader of the train and tomorrow's scouts study their guidebooks and discuss possible camping spots and river crossings. Joe listens to stories at one campfire; Meg and her friends sing hymns at another. Finally, the bone-tired travelers enter their tents, and the night herders ride off to work. A wolf howls in the darkness. Tomorrow will be much like today, a mixture of monotony[4] hard work ... and new adventures.

Explanation:
As Odysseus and his crew approach their next challenge, Odysseus tells them about the Sirens and how they will tempt the crew. He says, "then we die with our eyes open, if we are going to die, or know what death we baffle if we can". Odysseus seems to think that ‘knowledge is power'. Do you agree with him? In a difficult situation do you think it is best to know your odds, or would you rather not know all the details of what you are up against?
Answer:
Odysseus is right about "Knowledge being power". This is because, being knowledgeable would afford you the ability to know how to solve your problems rather than neing ignorant and dieing in it. Without the knowldege about the Seriens, Odysseus and his crew could have perished.
I also believed that, it is the wise thing to know your odds in a difficult situation rather than bieng kept in the dark. Ignorance is an expensive act that has never benefited anyone.

Which detail from “ Lessons of Dr. Martin Luther King. Jr” best supports the theme that the fight for social justice often requires determination and sacrifice?
Answer:
The detail from "Lessons of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr." that best supports the theme of fight for social justice is "Dr. King knew that he very probably wouldn’t survive the struggle that he led so well. But he said, ‘If I am stopped, the movement will not stop. . . . For what we are doing is right’".
This excerpt shows that Martin Luther King was even willing to die for the cause he believed in and the struggle for social justice; therefore, these words present a figure whose life was marked by sacrifice and determination, which were highly necessary to achieve his main goals: freedom, equality and justice. Martin Luther King gave up his life for a better cause when he was assassinated in 1968 due to the fact he became the leader of the Civil Rights Movement.

The reality is often quite different, a great national striving consisting frequently of failure.
Many of the oft-told stories of the most pluralistic nation on earth are stories not of tolerance, but of
bigotry. Slavery and sweatshops, the burning of crosses and the ostracism of the other. Children
learn in social studies class and in the news of the lynching of blacks, the denial of rights to women,
the murders of gay men. It is difficult to know how to convince them that this amounts to "crown
thy good with brotherhood," that amid all the failures is something spectacularly successful.
Perhaps they understand it at this moment, when enormous tragedy, as it so often does, demands a
time of reflection on enormous blessings.
Answer:
reality is full of very problematic issues and events.
