Dominic's Bebop Awakening
by Thom Leyba
"You're just in time," Dominic's mother announced as he entered his family's fifth-floor apartment. "Get ready for the big event," Dominic's father said as he extended the ears of the antenna and switched on the power. The little screen lit up to reveal the snowy, wavy image of a man sitting at a desk reading the news, and everyone cheered. Then Dominic's father turned the knob on the TV to a different number, and a second man appeared, reading the news. The crowd of neighbors gasped their approval at the television's ability to pick up two channels. Among the din of cheers and gasps, Dominic was wondering how he could ever own a trumpet because he did not have any money. Since his parents had just spent a fortune for the TV, there was no way they would buy him a trumpet. As he started to feel sorry for himself, his gaze landed on the scattered newspaper at his father's feet; immediately Dominic knew how he would earn money to buy a trumpet.
With his parents' approval, Dominic was selling the Daily Times on the sidewalk after school the next day. He managed to get a spot in front of Jazzland so that he could listen while he worked every day. One day, a tall man with a graying beard exited the club, and Dominic could not resist asking him what this wonderful new music was called. "Bebop," the man said proudly, snapping his fingers in time to the beat of the drum inside the club. After two additional months of working, Dominic saved enough money to buy an old trumpet. After he mastered the basic techniques, Dominic spent his time trying to memorize the artistic styles he heard in Jazzland. Then each day he strolled to the park and tried his best to imitate the refreshing sounds that swirled in his head.
After weeks of frustration, Dominic learned that the best bebop musicians invent as they play. When he realized this, Dominic started searching for his own musical self, and he sat, day after day, on a park bench playing his heart out, letting the music sweep him away. A few weeks later in the park, Dominic was playing a song he had invented. When he finished, a crowd stood in front of him applauding, and there was the tall, bearded man from Jazzland. The man walked by slowly and said, "Someday soon you might be playing at Jazzland." On the subway ride home, Dominic smiled and knew that he would soon upstage his parents' TV with an invention of his ownâhis musical self.

Read the passage from animal farm. one sunday morning squealer announced that the hens, who had just come in to lay again, must surrender their eggs. napoleon had accepted, through whymper, a contract for four hundred eggs a week. the price of these would pay for enough grain and meal to keep the farm going till summer came on and conditions were easier. when the hens heard this, they raised a terrible outcry. they had been warned earlier that this sacrifice might be necessary, but had not believed that it would really happen. they were just getting their clutches ready for the spring sitting, and they protested that to take the eggs away now was murder. for the first time since the expulsion of jones, there was something resembling a rebellion. led by three young black minorca pullets, the hens made a determined effort to thwart napoleon's wishes. their method was to fly up to the rafters and there lay their eggs, which smashed to pieces on the floor. napoleon acted swiftly and ruthlessly. he ordered the hens' rations to be stopped, and decreed that any animal giving so much as a grain of corn to a hen should be punished by death. the dogs saw to it that these orders were carried out. for five days the hens held out, then they capitulated and went back to their nesting boxes. nine hens had died in the meantime. their bodies were buried in the orchard, and it was given out that they had died of coccidiosis. whymper heard nothing of this affair, and the eggs were duly delivered, a grocer's van driving up to the farm once a week to take them away. which detail from the passage supports the claim that this is an allegory for the great purge? the hens holding out for five days but capitulating the eggs being delivered to the grocer the protesting hens being intentionally starved coccidiosis spreading on the farm
