Read the excerpt from "New Land, New Life."

"Nonsense," said Ruth sternly. "The nearest town is a week away by horseback. With all due respect, Mr. Thorpe, you’re in homesteading country now. We take care of our own. There isn’t a homesteader within one hundred miles of here who has survived these parts without jumping at the chance for help when it’s offered."

Mr. Thorpe nodded uncomfortably. Ruth could see that he was a man who was used to having control over a situation. This was a possibility in the bigger cities, but out here on the prairie, there was no such thing.

How does Ruth’s view differ from Mr. Thorpe’s view about where the Thorpe family will stay?

-Ruth thinks the Thorpe family should live in a nearby home, but Mr. Thorpe wants them to leave.
-Ruth thinks the Thorpe family should stay at her home, but Mr. Thorpe wants them to leave.
-Ruth thinks the Thorpe family should camp out near her home, but Mr. Thorpe wants them to live inside.
-Ruth thinks the Thorpe family should return to the city, but Mr. Thorpe thinks they should build a home nearby.

The greatest gift the sumerians gave the world was the invention of writing. the sumerians were wealthy people. they needed some way to keep track of what they owned. they began drawing pictures. they used a reed as a pen. they drew on soft pieces of clay. the soft clay was then dried in the sun. the tablet became a permanent record. later, the sumerian drawings changed into wedge-shaped symbols. this kind of writing is called cuneiform. by putting symbols together, the sumerians could write entire sentences.
