THE BURNING UNDERGROUND
By Andri Bailey
It was September 1786 when my life changed, Monica stood outside my door with a dress in hand as we were getting ready for the ball. Mother screamed from the kitchen, âEMILY! MONICA!â We rushed to the kitchen wondering what had happened. âYou girls should be ready by now!â Mother said angrily âAnalise do go fetch me a brush for Emilyâs hair, it looks like a birdâs nest.â
âYes, your royal highness...â Analise whispered. She walked upstairs and grabbed our pearly white brush with jewels, worth more than most commonerâs homes mother had told me. After we were both ready we hopped in the carriage and took offâŚ
Chapter one
âOh Emily, I am surprised you could make itâ The duchess laughed out. âYou look like a mess⌠per usual. BAH!â I glared at her but made my way to the center of the palace, where the actual ball was. Monica and gone off to flirt with the first prince she saw. As for my mother she was seated up on her throne next to the king of Gravina. This ball was so both kingdoms could make peace. Now where is my father? He died in war between Gravina and our kingdom, Elgravia. Later that evening I saw the dukes and duchess dance and the prince and princess waltz. I went to the back to get more punch but then I smelt smoke. I ran into the kitchen to see if something caught on fire but everything was normal. I raced to Monica and yanked my mother to the side. âWe have to leave. THERES A FIRE SOMEWHERE!â I blurted out in fear. âNonsense! You are just a silly girl with a silly imagination.â Mother replied. Monica however ran down the stairs and yelled âFIRE!!â No one got up. They just stared. Even a few laughing. The night went on and the smell of smoke was getting stronger by the minute. Hours passed by, I saw a spark come from the kitchen. Soon enough a flame burst out and I could hear the woman screaming for mercy, the men scrambling out the door. Monica and I ran out behind mother, but I fell behind. The fire roared and tried to swallow me whole. I got up and it was like the fire was chasing me. I grasped at the carriage door coughing up ash and dust. I fell to my knees and felt like I had just survived war. Monica was screaming âHELP PLEASE, MY SISTER!â While my mother was crying and trying to help me stand up. âM-mom...? Is that youâ I said holding back coughing up more ash. My mother got me and Monica in the carriage and we headed back to our palace.

In just over one hundred years, between 1701 and 1810, 252,500 enslaved africans were brought to barbadosâan island that occupies only 166 square miles (making it, today, one of the smallest countries in the world). the english then set out to conquer more sugar islands, starting with jamaica, which they took from spain in 1655. in the same period that the 252,500 africans were brought to barbados, 662,400 africans were taken to jamaica. thus, sugar drove more than 900,000 people into slavery, across the atlantic, to barbados and jamaicaâand these were just two of the sugar islands. the english were eagerly filling antigua, nevis, saint kitts, and montserrat with slaves and sugar mills. they took over much of dutch guiana for the same reason. seeing the fortunes being made in sugar, the french started their own scramble to turn the half of the island of hispaniola that they controlled (which is now haiti), as well as martinique, guadeloupe, and french guiana (along the south american coast near dutch guiana), into their own sugar colonies, which were filled with hundreds of thousands more african slaves. by 1753, british ships were taking average of 34,250 slaves from africa every year, and by 1768, that number had reached 53,100. âsugar changed the world, marc aronson and marina budhos how do the authors use historical evidence to support their claim? x(a) they use secondary sources to show how french and english monarchs were indifferent to enslaved people. x(b)they use secondary sources to show that enslaved people often fought for their freedom after arriving in the caribbean. the answer is: (c)they use facts from primary sources to show how countries increased the number of enslaved people to produce more sugar. x(d)they use primary source interviews to show that countries could make more money in trading sugar without using enslaved people.

Hurry i am on the semester test which theme is evident in this excerpt from robert frost's "mending wall"? but at spring mending-time we find them there. i let my neighbor know beyond the hill; and on a day we meet to walk the line and set the wall between us once again. we keep the wall between us as we go. to each the boulders that have fallen to each. and some are loaves and some so nearly balls we have to use a spell to make them balance: "stay where you are until our backs are turned! " we wear our fingers rough with handling them. oh, just another kind of out-door game, one on a side. it comes to little more: there where it is we do not need the wall: he is all pine and i am apple orchard. my apple trees will never get across and eat the cones under his pines, i tell him. he only says, âgood fences make good neighbors." spring is the mischief in me, and i wonder if i could put a notion in his head: "why do they make good neighbors? isn't it where there are cows? but here there are no cows. before i built a wall i'd ask to know what i was walling in or walling out, and to whom i was like to give offence. . " a. the human desire for material gain b. the influence of financial constraints c. the positive effects of friendship d. the uncertain nature of human relations e. the futility of human yearning
