Dear Principal Fallows,

(1) I am concerned about the school board’s decision to make every senior participate in 40 hours of community service in order to graduate. (2) Although I believe that students should volunteer in their communities, I don’t agree that participation should be required. (3) Many teenagers have jobs after school and on the weekends to help them save money for college. (4) Other students help care for their younger siblings. (5) Most students are involved in one or more school activities. (6) Along with all of these responsibilities, students must still study for class. (7) I understand that the school board wants to show students the importance of volunteerism, but I think that students will find volunteer projects more rewarding when they are not forced to participate. (8) I hope that you will give this matter some thought and consider another course of action.

Sincerely,

Alexis Vargas

On november 17, 1968, football fans across the united states sat glued to their televisions. a close game between two top teams—the new york jets and the oakland raiders—was being broadcast. when the jets pulled ahead with only fifty seconds remaining, viewers went wild. but then, just as the raiders were bringing the ball across midfield, the game disappeared from the screen! in its place, a previously scheduled children's movie, heidi, started playing. callers flooded the tv network's phone lines, but it was too late. the raiders scored two touchdowns in the very final moments—touchdowns that were unseen by all but west coast viewers. as a result of the interrupted event, dubbed "the heidi game," television networks began delaying their regularly scheduled programs until football games had ended.

Which excerpt from the war of the worldseffectively reveals how the author relates the climax of the narrative through the narrator's thoughts? the war of the worldsall this had happened with such swiftness that i had stood motionless, dumbfounded and dazzled by the flashes of light. had that death swept through a full circle, it must inevitably have slain me in my surprise. but it passed and spared me, and left the night about me suddenly dark and unfamiliar. and then, with a renewed horror, i saw a round, black object bobbing up and down on the edge of the pit. it was the head of the shopman who had fallen in, but showing as a little black object against the hot western sun. at that time it was quite clear in my own mind that the thing had come from the planet mars, but i judged it improbable that it contained any living creature. i thought the unscrewing might be automatic. my mind ran fancifully on the possibilities of its containing manuscript, on the difficulties in translation that might arise, whether we should find coins and models in it, and so forth. yet it was a little too large for assurance on this idea. i felt an impatience to see it opened.
