1. if you could choose an hour of wakefulness out of
the whole night, it would be this. since your sober
bedtime, at eleven, you have had rest enough to
take off the pressure of yesterday's fatigue, while
before you, till the sun comes from "far cathay"
to brighten your window, there is almost the space
of a summer night—one hour to be spent in thought
with the mind's eye half shut, and two in pleasant
dreams, and two in that strangest of enjoyments
the forgetfulness alike of joy and woe.

(from “the haunted mind” by william faulkner)

2. every sabbath morning in the summer-time i thrust
back the curtain to watch the sunrise stealing down
a steeple which stands opposite my chamber window.
first the weathercock begins to flash; then a fainter
lustre gives the spire an airy aspect; next it encroaches
on the tower and causes the index of the dial to glisten
like gold as it points to the gilded figure of the hour.

(from “sunday at home” by nathaniel hawthorne)

3. he no longer dreamed of storms, nor of women, nor
of great occurrences, nor of great fish, nor fights,
nor contests of strength, nor of his wife. he only
dreamed of places now and of the lions on the
beach.

(from the old man and the sea by ernest hemingway)

4. there were a king with a large jaw and a queen with
a plain face, on the throne of england; there were a

loaves and fishes, that things in general were settled
for ever.

Excerpt from the rainbow, chapter x (excerpt) d. h. lawrence then there was an outcry. mrs. brangwen would not have it; no, she would not. all her innate dignity and standoffishness rose up. then there was the vicar lecturing the school. "it was a sad thing that the boys of cossethay could not behave more like gentlemen to the girls of cossethay. indeed, what kind of boy was it that should set upon a girl, and kick her, and beat her, and tear her pinafore? that boy deserved severe castigation, and the name of coward, for no boy who was not a coward—etc., etc." from the textual evidence provided in this paragraph, what conclusions can the reader draw regarding the vicar? a) he favors boys over girls. b) he has no strong feelings. c) he supports mrs. brangwen's perspective entirely. d) he tends to be indulgent towards children's misbehavior.

Read the excerpt from "the storyteller." the smaller girl created a diversion by beginning to recite "on the road to mandalay.” she only knew the first line, but she put her limited knowledge to the fullest possible use. she repeated the line over and over again in a dreamy but resolute and very audible voice; it seemed to the bachelor as though some one had had a bet with her that she could not repeat the line aloud two thousand times without stopping. whoever it was who had made the wager was likely to lose his bet. "come over here and listen to a story,” said the aunt, when the bachelor had looked twice at her and once at the communication cord. the children moved listlessly towards the aunt’s end of the carriage. evidently her reputation as a storyteller did not rank high in their estimation. in a low, confidential voice, interrupted at frequent intervals by loud, petulant questionings from her listeners, she began an unenterprising and deplorably uninteresting story about a little girl who was good, and made friends with every one on account of her goodness, and was finally saved from a mad bull by a number of rescuers who admired her moral character. which instances of situational irony occur in the passage? select two options. a.) “whoever it was who had made the wager was likely to lose his bet.” b.) “‘come over here and listen to a story,’ said the aunt, when the bachelor had looked twice at her and once at the communication cord.” -- c.) “the children moved listlessly towards the aunt’s end of the carriage.” d.) “evidently her reputation as a story-teller did not rank high in their estimation.” -- e.) “in a low, confidential voice, interrupted at frequent intervals by loud, petulant questionings from her listeners, she began an unenterprising and deplorably uninteresting story about a little girl who was good.”
