Which two detalls in Daliah's campaign speech support her challenge of the opposition's claim that classroom libraries are sufficient?
To the avid readers out there, I know that we do not currently have a school librarian, and our access to the library is limited. This is
unacceptable, and I intend to address the problem if you elect me as student president.
All of you are tired of spending your own money to buy books for the library and for yourselves. I understand that the school's budget was
reduced due to cuts In funding from the state. But how are we supposed to grow as readers if the library is closed most of the time and can only
be used to conduct research as scheduled by homeroom teachers?
The school, in partnership with the PTA, conducts many fundraisers to provide funds for the sports teams and STEM activities. Yes, I understand
the importance those two opportunities; however, research shows that the more access students have to books, the more student achievement
improves on state and district assessments. Research also shows that the more we read, the more we learn about different cultures. The result
is that we become more open minded, and we can develop more compassion and empathy for others. All of those things are important to our
growth as students and as contributors to society.
To those arguing that our English and reading teachers have classroom libraries, I say that that's not enough. Those teachers stock classroom
libraries using their own money and donations from crowdfunding sources. They take those books with them when they move to other schools
or jobs, and then a new teacher has to take time to rebuild that classroom library while readers are left high and dry. That's unfair, don't you
think? Yes, school district should do a better job of ensuring all schools have libraries and librarians. Yes, schools should do a better job of
finding ways to equally fund all initiatives on campus. So, I will present a solution until those in charge can do better.
I propose working with the PTA to increase fundraising efforts so that the campus can hire a part-time librarian. This part-time staff member will
work on campus three days a week during the times when we have interventions, homeroom, and club time. Until we can find our part-time
librarian, I will also start a petition to share a librarian with our neighboring elementary school to work on our campus twice a week for three
hours in the afternoon.

Which line in this excerpt from the great gatsby by f. scott fitzgerald contains a simile? about half way between west egg and new york the motor-road hastily joins the railroad and runs beside it for a quarter of a mile, so as to shrink away from a certain desolate area of land. this is a valley of ashes—a fantastic farm where ashes grow like wheat into ridges and hills and grotesque gardens where ashes take the forms of houses and chimneys and rising smoke and finally, with a transcendent effort, of men who move dimly and already crumbling through the powdery air. occasionally a line of grey cars crawls along an invisible track, gives out a ghastly creak and comes to rest, and immediately the ash-grey men swarm up with leaden spades and stir up an impenetrable cloud which screens their obscure operations from your sight.

1. at the conclusion of chapter 13, the monster realizes that he has none of the qualities or possessions that human beings value, and so he worries the he will be forever miserable. he says, “oh, that i had for ever remained in my native wood, nor known nor felt beyond the sensations of hunger, thirst, and heat! ” this statement recalls one made by victor frankenstein in chapter 10: “if our impulses were confined to hunger, thirst, and desire, we might nearly be free; but now we are moved by every wind that blows, and a chance word or scene that that word may convey to us.” questions: what do these two statements suggest about the impact of knowledge? how do the statements affect the way readers view the monster and victor?
