Read the excerpt below from “at the hearth” by laura esquivel and complete the instruction that follows.

the arrival of a new revolution is imminent, and i don’t think this time it will be from the outside in, but the opposite. it will entail the reclaiming of our rituals and ceremonies and the establishment of a new relationship with the land and the planet, with everything sacred. all this is possible in intimate spaces. it is there, around the hearth, where the new man will appear, as the fruit of a common effort. he will give equal value to production and reproduction, to reason and emotion, to the intimate and the public, to the material and the spiritual. he will encourage the creation of balanced societies and understand clearly that self-realization should not be linked solely to public recognition and economic retribution. he will question his active participation in society, asking himself whether he should work in a factory that grossly pollutes the environment even though he is well paid for his work, and will look for other ways to earn a living. he will value small acts for their intimacy and transcendence and understand that they modify society just as surely as public events do—each to elevate the human condition and allowing us to enter in communion with our past—and regard them as reminders of where we come from and where we should be headed.

discuss how this section of the text reveals both esquivel’s theme and purpose in writing.

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.
