Read the excerpt from Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. "And now, dear Margaret, do I not deserve to accomplish some great purpose? My life might have been passed in ease and luxury, but I
preferred glory to every enticement that wealth placed in my path. Oh, that some encouraging voice would answer in the affirmativel My
courage and my resolution is firm; but my hopes fluctuate, and my spirits are often depressed. I am about to proceed on a long and difficult
voyage, the emergencies of which will demand all my fortitude: I am required not only to raise the spirits of others, but sometimes to
sustain my own, when theirs are failing."
Which choice best summarizes the excerpt?
A. The narrator tells Margaret that despite living a life of luxury, he still prefers this difficult voyage. But he needs encouragement because he must keep others encouraged as well as himself.
B. The narrator tells Margaret that he goes back and forth between hope and depression, and there may be a lot of emergencies
to deal with. Therefore, he needs some encouragement from her.
C. The narrator informs Margaret that he made the better choice to travel rather than to stay at home in comfort. But the crew is
very depressed, which is making him also very depressed.
D. The narrator complains to Margaret that his choice to travel means he no longer lives a life of comfort. Moreover, he must also
keep everyone else's spirits up along with his own.

analyzing characters

respond to the following questions in one paragraph for each. use specific examples from the text to support your responses.

1. there is a set of twins on the island named sam and eric. however, when describing them, golding regularly refers to them as samneric. how does this way of describing the twins relate to their behavior and the way that readers understand their characters? what examples of their behavior readers see that samneric is really the appropriate way to refer to them?

2. as the boys set out to search for the beast, ralph allows jack to lead the way, and he sinks to the back of the pack, " to have escaped responsibility for a time." what does this moment lead you to infer about ralph and about his feelings about being the group’s leader? what does this moment foreshadow?

3. while part of the party searching for the beast, simon realizes that the notion of the beast that the other boys have does not make sense. a beast sitting atop a mountain with claws, a beast who did not leave tracks, could have easily caught the twins. simon has a different picture of the beast: "there rose before his inward sight the picture of a human at once heroic and sick." how does this picture relate to the beast that samneric saw? how does it relate to what simon said earlier about the beast being "only us"?

me

waves come crashing to grey sullen shores.

powerful and strong, it breathes and roars.

cascading and caressing each grain of sand,

a warm embrace between sea and land.

high above, a seagull soars high.

wings of purity it spreads to fly.

battling high against darkened cloud,

in a wind that blows fiercely, flying graceful and proud.

beneath, the sand is soft and warm.

sculpted by nature, it's weathered the storm.

a passionate battle between calmness and rage,

a new chapter's beginning; don't turn the last page.

i listen again to the whispering waves,

music of nature calming and brave.

its power unknown, its stillness untamed,

mysterious and magical, a treasure earth claims.
