The man rose from his stool at a workbench strewn with violin pieces and woodworking tools. Beneath his apron, he wore a starched white shirt and necktie.
"I called yesterday about having my violin appraised." He said nothing. "I have it here," I said, offering it like a gift to royalty.
His eyes passed over my violin, met mine, and then went back to the violin
"So you want me to tell you what the violin is worth?" he said not looking up. I nodded, thinking that we had established that yesterday. My
eyes scanned the walls where hung probably fifty violins in a variety of sizes. I noted the glass case with the locks. Those had to be the quality
instruments. "Tell me what you know of this violin."
I told him that it had been my grandfather's, that he had brought iſ to this country from Italy, that he had supported his family playing for
country dances in Vermont.
The man set the violin down on a towel, breathed deeply. "So is this country dance fiddle for sale?"
Which is the best analysis of the craftsman?
1. His professional attitude identifies him as the protagonist
2. His curiosity over the violin identifies him as the protagonist.
3. His disregard for the violin identifies him as the antagonist.
4. His inappropriate dress identifies him as the antagonist.

Read the following excerpt from fast food nations which of the following choices best presents a counterclaim to the argument presented in this excerpt

Checklist imagine that your local library has invited community members to submit proposals for a fundraiser. you are the student representative on the committee to choose the best proposal. read the two proposals, paying close attention to their similarities and differences. consider whether or not each proposal is logistically feasible, which fundraiser will most appeal to members of your community, and which fundraiser will likely raise more money. which proposal do you think the committee should choose? write an essay in which you make a case for your choice. support your argument with references to specific details in each proposal. proposal 1: the best way to get people invested in the library is to show them the joy of reading. for that reason, the library should hold a book sale. people could donate books that they no longer want, and the librarians could find books that the library no longer needs. volunteers would need to sort the books into categories and arrange them in an inviting way, like at a bookstore. books should be inexpensive so people will buy more of them – maybe fifty cents for paperbacks and two dollars for hardcover books. a book sale would appeal to people of all ages, from little kids to older people. there should also be a table where people can sign up for library cards. that way, if visitors do not find any books they want at the sale, they can come back to the library. proposal 2: a great way to make money for the library would be holding a car wash. the softball team at my school raised over $400 at their car wash last year! the car wash could be held in the library parking lot on a saturday morning. you could ask local high school students to volunteer to wash the cars. that would be a great way to get students involved with the library. it takes two or three volunteers to wash a car quickly, so you would need at least ten volunteers. you could charge around ten dollars per car. even people who are not very interested in reading like to have a clean car, so you would get a lot of people to stop by who might not otherwise come to a library fundraiser.
