Examine the central idea of Chapter 2 in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. In this chapter, Tom uses ingenuity and his knowledge of human nature to convince others to do his assigned chore of painting the fence.

Once you have read the chapter, write a journal entry discussing Tom’s theory about work versus play. How does he convince Jim and the other boys to do his work for him? How does his technique with Jim differ from that of the other boys? Why do you think this is? Think about your first impressions of Tom from Chapter 1. Has your opinion of him changed based on the events in this chapter?

Your response should be about 150 words in length, and use details from the text to support your ideas.

Answer:

Toms think of work as something your obligated to do but the play is something you get the choice or want to do.  Tom's Aunt makes him whitewash the fence he really doesn't want to do it so he tricks his friends into doing it.  He says "it's not everyday a boy gets to whitewash a fence" which makes his friend more and more interested in it.  Then he tells his friend, his aunt would only let one in one to two thousand boys work on her fence, which made his friend even more interested until he was begging to whitewash the fence.

Read the following paragraph from the section “What do you want to do with your career?”


There are very few black females in the computer science field and this was initially an adjustment for me. In fact, my first black professor was when I was a Ph.D. student at Georgia

Tech. Now, my adviser is a black female computer science professor. Her mentorship means so much to me, and it has been so comforting to have her advice. My long-term goal is to be a

professor so I can be an ally, mentor and role model for other students of color.


What is the MAIN reason why the author includes this paragraph in the article?

a

to explain why there are not many people of color in computer science

b

to show how De'aria's goals extend beyond working in robotics

c

to highlight how robots can be used to help people with physical therapy

d

to describe why computer science is a challenging field of study

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------question two

Read the following paragraph from the section “Why do robots need to be different for children than adults?”


Most robots with artificial intelligence are designed to recognize emotion and facial features and respond to adult behavior. It works like this: a robot looks at a person's face and takes photos of

that person with cameras and then the images are compared with a database of images the robot already has. From there, the robot can tell what emotion about the person is expressing to know

how they are feeling. Yet for the robot to be able to do this it takes a lot of data — we're talking millions and millions of images.


What is the main reason WHY the author includes this paragraph in the article?

a

to demonstrate how robots are able to differentiate between adults and children

b

to highlight robots' ability to recognize and respond to emotions

c

to describe why robots struggle to identify the emotions of children

d

to explain the work that allows robots to recognize and respond to emotions

which statement best expresses the point of view of the two characters in the passage Young Goodman Brown (excerpt)
Nathaniel Hawthorne

Young Goodman Brown came forth at sunset into the street at Salem village; but put his head back, after crossing the threshold, to exchange a parting kiss with his young wife. And Faith, as the wife was aptly named, thrust her own pretty head into the street, letting the wind play with the pink ribbons of her cap while she called to Goodman Brown.

"Dearest heart," whispered she, softly and rather sadly, when her lips were close to his ear, "prithee put off your journey until sunrise and sleep in your own bed to-night. A lone woman is troubled with such dreams and such thoughts that she's afeard of herself sometimes. Pray tarry with me this night, dear husband, of all nights in the year."

"My love and my Faith," replied young Goodman Brown, "of all nights in the year, this one night must I tarry away from thee. My journey, as thou callest it, forth and back again, must needs be done 'twixt now and sunrise. What, my sweet, pretty wife, dost thou doubt me already, and we but three months married?"

"Then God bless you!" said Faith, with the pink ribbons; "and may you find all well when you come back."

Nathaniel Hawthorne

Read the paragraph from the introduction [paragraphis down below].

Lombardi works for various scientific groups, including the American Museum of Natural History, the Woods Hole Group, and the University of Rhode Island. One of his areas of expertise is deepwater
coral reefs. He often dives in a 400-foot-deep reef along Exuma Cays in the Bahamas. These are a group of islands
near Florida.

What is the meaning of the phrase "areas of expertise" in this paragraph?
a
islands he enjoys
b
places he visits often
c
groups he works with
d
subjects he knows well

The praying mantis is a member of the Mantid group of insects. Mantids come in many shapes and sizes and are found all over the world. Some have patterns on their bodies that help them look like the ground. Some are bright green to blend in with leaves and plants. One special mantis is bright pink and looks like an orchid. The mantis is such a strange and engaging creature that many people keep them as pets. For many reasons, mantids have fascinated humans for many years.

First, mantids show an amazing mastery of hunting skills. Mantids eat a wide variety of insects, including moths, crickets, bees, flies, grasshoppers, other mantids, and even, on occasion, small birds and snakes. They can capture prey many times larger than they are. Their powerful armor and amazing hunting skills make them quite effective. They have large powerful front legs, with spikes that help them hold on to prey. Their head can turn almost entirely around to follow prey without moving. Their front legs are so powerful and so fast that it is hard to see them move when capturing prey. One second their legs are empty and the next they are clutching tightly to something they have caught.

Mantids are also stealthy. They wait, very still, very patiently for prey to come into sight. They also make slight swaying movements, to mimic leaves and grass moved by the wind. They focus intently on their victim. Then they pounce, suddenly, rarely missing their target. They are so successful they can triple in size every few months by molting when they outgrow their exoskeletons. They start out as nymphs, able to capture only prey that is smaller than they are. They end their lives about a year later becoming predators that can take down prey as large as hummingbirds.

Finally, they are very personable, as far as insects go. They have a large, triangular-shaped head with large eyes. This alien-like appearance makes them quite cute. When you come across them in the garden, you can tell right away they are aware of you. They follow your movements as if to assess if you are either something to eat or something that will eat them. The little ones will accept rides on your finger if you are gentle. But be careful—they can jump surprisingly far even when small. If they think your freckle is prey, you may be surprised to find a mantis on your nose.

As far as predatory insects go, the mantis is one of the most impressive. Gardeners love to find them in on vegetables because mantids eat many insects that damage crops. However, they may also eat some insects that help a gardener—like bees. Regardless, the mantis is a fascinating insect, and if you happen to see one hunting in the wild, consider yourself lucky.



What quality makes mantids valuable to gardeners?

The ability to eat a variety of insects
The ability to be stealthy when hunting
The quality of appearance and awareness
The quality of their rapid growth

Hey, anyone willing to proofread this? I might have missed some stuff.

He had dropped the hatchet. The only tool he had, and the last gift his mother gave him before that horrible crash. He looked down and watched his treasure sink to the bottom of the lake. That wasn't the only thing sinking now, his hope was sinking like the Titanic. Brian floated there in shock as a current pushed him towards the plane.

He had to get the hatchet back. He dove down and kicked and kicked to touch the bottom and try to find the hatchet, nothing. He was getting weak, and just barely made it to the top, breathing in gulps of air. That was a close one, he thought. Another mistake that could have cost him his life. He was fuming, angry at himself for making that mistake. He thought for a while, sitting on his raft. He was going to get that hatchet!

He dove down with determination, too much determination. He was so close to the floor he opened his mouth and swallowed a gulp of dirt, sand, and lake water. He lost too much time, and he looked to see the hatchet a few feet to the right. He dashed faster than a cheetah to grab that hatchet, he was underwater too long... he was almost out of air.

Grabbing the hatchet, he tried to kick up to the surface, only to hear a muffled "Clang!" and be met with a sharp pain in his head. He had dropped the hatchet again and had fallen to the bottom of the lake. He was out of time. He tried to breathe only to gulp in more water, and he struggled until he was too weak to move... The inky blackness of sleep took him, only this time it was forever.
