Beowulf Christianity summary

Read the excerpt from an adaptation of "To Build a Fire.”

As he turned to go on, he spat speculatively. There was a sharp, explosive crackle that startled him. He spat again, and again, in the air, before it could fall to the snow, the spittle crackled. He knew that at fifty below spittle crackled on the snow, but this spittle had crackled in the air. Undoubtedly it was colder than fifty below—how much colder he did not know. But the temperature did not matter. He was bound for the old claim on the left fork of Henderson Creek, where the boys were already.

The four Indians laughed more loudly, while even the man who had been bitten began to laugh. They surrounded [White Fang] and laughed at him, while he wailed out his terror and his hurt. In the midst of it, he heard something. The Indians heard it, too. But the cub knew what it was, and with a last, long wail that had in it more of triumph than grief, he ceased his noise and waited for the coming of his mother, of his ferocious and indomitable mother who fought and killed all things and was never afraid. She was snarling as she ran. She had heard the cry of her cub and was dashing to save him.

Which best states the perspective of White Fang’s mother in the excerpt?

She is angry at her cub and prepared to punish him.
She is amused by her cub’s wail and ready to play.
She is afraid for her cub and prepared to protect him.
She is as helpless as her cub and terrified of the men.

Sasha is writing a defense of an op-ed claiming sunscreens containing oxybenzone should be banned. Which piece of evidence best defends her claim?

O One study found that sunscreen containing oxybenzone bleaches coral reefs, leading to the death of the coral. O Oxybenzone, an ingredient found in many sunscreens, filters the UV rays that lead to skin damage and even cancer. O The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says that oxybenzone is safe, but there are other ways people can protect their skin. Because it is still important to protect the skin, alternatives to sunscreens with oxybenzone such as those with zinc oxide, are preferred.​

The pecan tree has been an American icon for over two hundred years. Before Europeans came to North America, Native Americans were aware of, and regularly ate, fruit from the pecan tree. Pecan trees are deciduous, losing their leaves in mid-November. Once planted, the pecan tree can live and bear fruit for over three hundred years. They reach enormous heights, the highest of which is a reported 180 ft. As a member of the hickory family of trees, the pecan is not a true nut but a drupe (fruit with a single stone or pit). This makes the fruit similar to that of coffee shrubs, olive trees, and date palms. Thomas Jefferson wrote about and cared for an entire orchard of pecan trees, and he spread his love of the tree and its fruit to other founding fathers, namely George Washington. Pecan trees have only recently been cultivated on a large scale by growers, mainly because the pecan nut is a healthy food that is high in both protein and unsaturated fats. Dieticians say that eating a handful of pecans every day is enough to lower unwanted, bad cholesterol as much as some prescription medications. Not only are pecans good for cholesterol, but they also help to prevent heart disease. Pecans are also regularly used in dishes and desserts, the most famous of which is the very American pecan pie.

Voluntourism: An Opportunity Too Good to be True

A Speech to the Student Body of Evergreen High

[1] Picture this: It's Spring Break, and you fly off to some country where there's lush rainforests and beautiful, blue coastlines to explore. There's also people in need, so you decide to blend your vacation with volunteering. Volunteering as a tourist, or voluntourism, seems like a great way to explore new regions and help people at the same time. However, this "volunteer plus travel" experience can actually harm local communities. While many teens might view traveling and volunteering abroad as a worthwhile adventure, there are more genuine and effective ways to make a difference.

[2] Most would agree that volunteering in general is a worthy use of time. However, what if you found out the children you are "helping" are actually being kept in poor conditions so voluntourists will spend money to come to the local area? Dale Rolfe, a supporter of ethical voluntourism, explains the shocking reality that "Animal sanctuaries and orphanages are often manufactured for the voluntourist…encouraging a cycle of exploiting the very animals and children the volunteers are trying to help."

[3] Proponents of the "volunteer plus travel" experience also argue that traveling to new places builds character and is a valuable way to learn about different cultures. With voluntourism, however, participants often pursue experiences that are all about them. For example, they sign up to build a school for a gold star on their resume, but they have no real building skills and take jobs away from local construction workers (Schulten). Or, they arrive to teach English but instead take selfies with the locals. One world traveler and ethical voluntourist believes voluntourism "can perpetuate small minded views of the world by taking insulated, fake, and structured experiences and selling them as unabridged and eye opening" (Carlos). The voluntour experience is a mirage. The voluntourist's eyes are not opened to real life at the destination, and lasting change is not achieved.

[4] If you want a genuine experience where you can see a lasting impact, there are better options than voluntourism. You can volunteer in your local community. Give an hour every week to your town's animal rescue. Serve monthly dinners to the homeless. Be a reliable, positive influence on a child who needs a mentor. Studies show that volunteering and forming lasting relationships with those you help has a positive impact on your physical and emotional health. In fact, blood pressure is reduced, memory is improved, and rates of depression are reduced (Michaels).

[5] There is another reason to look into alternatives to voluntourism. Did you know the average "voluntour" travel package costs $3,400 (Rolfe)? Could that travel money be better spent? If the world's citizens are your passion, it could go to an international organization. If you care about education, your funds can be used to buy books for students in faraway lands. If you want villagers to have clean water, contribute funds to local efforts to dig wells. If you want to experience a different culture, travel to the country as a guest, and learn from the locals how you can best help them after you've returned home. But do not voluntour.

[6] In reality, there are better ways to make a difference. Voluntourism might appear to be an adventure that blends travel and helping others, but it does little except provide a costly, superficial experience that might actually do more harm than good. So, volunteer where you are most needed-at home, where you can stay to see the job through and form genuine, lasting relationships. Choose a beautiful coastline closer to home and send the travel money you saved to an international organization that will put it to good use. Whatever you do, don't turn someone else's hardship into your vacation.

Which paragraphs address the counterclaim of the argument?

A) Paragraphs 1 and 6
B) Paragraphs 2 and 3
C) Paragraphs 3 and 4
D) Paragraphs 4 and 5

Read the following excerpt from Andrew Jackson's Speech on Indian
Removal:
The consequences of a speedy removal will be important
to the United States, to individual states, and to the Indians
themselves. The pecuniary [financial] advantages which it
promises to the Government are the least of its
recommendations. It puts an end to all possible danger of
collision between the authorities of the general and State
Governments on account of the Indians.
How does Jackson most clearly make a hasty generalization about Indian
removal in this excerpt?
O A. He has no way of knowing whether the American Indians want to
move from their lands.
O B. He has no confirmation that the states want the American Indians
to settle elsewhere.
XO C. He has no proof that the American Indians and the government
will have conflicts.
D. He has no evidence that conflict with American Indians will end
with their removal.
