Marla was rummaging through some boxes in the attic and found a stack of letters her great-grandfather wrote when he was stationed in North Africa during World War II. One of the letters included these lines: "Last week we almost ran out of fuel. Most of our training was cancelled. This week we received double the usual amounts. I guess it’s feast or famine around here."

Using the context of the letter as a clue, what does the phrase feast or famine mean?

A

It’s difficult to complete training without enough fuel.

B

You should maintain extra supplies around at all times.

C

Things sometimes go from one extreme to another.

D

The soldiers were starving because there wasn’t enough food.

Read the excerpt from chapter 6 of  animal farm. by the autumn the animals were tired but happy. they had had a hard year, and after the sale of part of the hay and corn, the stores of food for the winter were none too plentiful, but the windmill compensated for everything. it was almost half built now. how does the pacing of this passage affect the reader’s interpretation of the text? a flashback to earlier events provides a pause in the pacing to slow events down. foreshadowing of events provides information as to what will happen to the windmill. the pace of the text quickens to convey the characters’ resolve to finish the windmill. the pace of the text quickens to move the story to its climax, the completion of the windmill.

Who is ¨ the guilty party¨ at the end of the text, and how do his actions contribute to the storys theme?
