Explanation:

Excerpt from Rip Van WinkleNathaniel HawthorneRip Van Winkle lived in a small village at the base of the Catskill Mountains just before the American Revolution. He was always minding someone else’s business. His wife thought that he should work at home and found many things for him to do, but he would always think of a neighbor whom he had to help. Then his wife would scold him and chase him with a broom.One day when his wife told Rip that he must cut wood for the family stove, he took his walking staff and went for a walk in the mountains. He soon got tired, so he lay down to rest.Suddenly, he heard the sound of thunder. A little man with a long white beard appeared. He was carrying a keg of wine on his back. He indicated by a sign that Rip should help him carry it, so Rip followed him far into the mountains. There he saw more little men. They were playing ninepins, and a sound like thunder was made by their wooden balls. Rip was frightened and thought he ought to run away, but the first man signaled for him to drink from the keg. It was filled with very good cocoa, and Rip soon got sleepy.When he awoke, the sun was shining. Rip thought that he must have slept all night. He thought that he had better go home. He searched for his staff, but found only an old rotten one.He started home, and when he got near the town some children began following him; others laughed at him, and still others hit him with stones. He didn’t know the people, and they wore strange clothing. There were many new buildings, and where his house should have been there was nothing but an old shack.Rip touched his chin and discovered that it was covered by a long, white beard. “Can’t someone tell me what has happened?” he asked. “What has become of my home and my wife?”Finally, a very old woman stepped out of the crowd. “Why Rip Van Winkle,” she said, accusingly. “I’d know you anywhere by your lazy walk. Where’ve you been for the last twenty years?” And where’s that wood you were going to cut?”Which best expresses the irony present in this passage?A)It is ironic that Rip Van Winkle decides to lie down under a tree to take a short nap.B)It is ironic that Rip Van Winkle ran into a bunch of little men playing nine-pins in the mountains.C)It is ironic that the little children following Rip Van Winkle around made fun of him and laughed at him.D)It is ironic that Rip Van Winkle's wife is more concerned about the wood her husband didn't bring her than the decades of years he's been missing.

The Beggar and the King

by Winthrop Parkhurst

[A chamber in the palace overlooks a courtyard. The season is midsummer. The windows of the palace are open, and from a distance there comes the sound of a man's voice crying for bread.]

[THE KING sits in a golden chair. A golden crown is on his head, and he holds in his hand a sceptre which is also of gold. A SERVANT stands by his side, fanning him with an enormous fan of peacock feathers.]

THE BEGGAR: (outside) Bread. Bread. Bread. Give me some bread.

THE KING: (languidly) Who is that crying in the street for bread?

THE SERVANT: (fanning) O king, it is a beggar.

THE KING: Why does he cry for bread?

THE SERVANT: O king, he cries for bread in order that he may fill his belly.

THE KING: I do not like the sound of his voice. It annoys me very much. Send him away.

THE SERVANT: (bowing) O king, he has been sent away.

THE KING: If that is so, then why do I hear his voice?

THE SERVANT: O king, he has been sent away many times, yet each time that he is sent away he returns again, crying louder than he did before.

THE KING: He is very unwise to annoy me on such a warm day. He must be punished for his impudence. Use the lash on him.

THE SERVANT: O king, it has been done.

THE KING: Then bring out the spears.

THE SERVANT: O king, the guards have already bloodied their swords many times driving him away from the palace gates. But it is of no avail.

THE KING: Then bind him and gag him if necessary. If need be cut out his tongue. I do not like the sound of the fellow's voice. It annoys me very much.

THE SERVANT: O king, thy orders were obeyed even yesterday.

THE KING: (frowning) No. That cannot be. A beggar cannot cry for bread who has no tongue.

THE SERVANT: Behold he can—if he has grown another.

THE KING: What! Why, men are not given more than one tongue in a lifetime. To have more than one tongue is treason.

THE SERVANT: If it is treason to have more than one tongue, O king, then is this beggar surely guilty of treason?

THE KING: (pompously) The punishment for treason is death. See to it that the fellow is slain. And do not fan me so languidly. I am very warm.

THE SERVANT: (fanning more rapidly) Behold, O great and illustrious king, all thy commands were obeyed even yesterday.

THE KING: How! Do not jest with thy king.

THE SERVANT: If I jest, then there is truth in a jest. Even yesterday, O king, as I have told thee, the beggar which thou now hearest crying aloud in the street was slain by thy soldiers with a sword.

THE KING: Do ghosts eat bread? Forsooth, men who have been slain with a sword do not go about in the streets crying for a piece of bread.

THE SERVANT: Forsooth, they do if they are fashioned as this beggar.

THE KING: Why, he is but a man. Surely he cannot have more than one life in a lifetime.

THE SERVANT: Listen to a tale, O king, which happened yesterday.

THE KING: I am listening.

THE SERVANT: Thy soldiers smote this beggar for crying aloud in the streets for bread, but his wounds are already healed. They cut out his tongue, but he immediately grew another. They slew him, yet he is now alive.

THE KING: Ah! That is a tale which I cannot understand at all.
In The Beggar and the King, what do the servant's responses to the king reveal about the servant?

He believes that the king is unfit to rule.

He is baffled by the beggar's return.

He is protective of the king's feelings.

He feels badly for the beggar's fate.

Gale and Katniss have very different opinions when it comes to the plan and each puts up a good argument as to whether or not the people should be given the chance to surrender. Whose side do you agree with and why?

Match with the evidence

Read the excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone by James Cross Giblin.

The middle hieroglyph was unknown to him, but he guessed that the two at the left symbolized the sun.

From his studies of Coptic, Champollion knew that the Egyptian word for "sun" was pronounced rah. He wrote down the first two letters of that sound, RA. Next he put a question mark for the unknown middle hieroglyph. Then, at the end, he wrote SS, the sound of the last two hieroglyphs.

He studied the combination: RA ? SS. Suddenly he remembered a famous pharaoh whose name appeared in ancient Greek chronicles and also in the Biblical Book of Exodus: Rameses, or Ramesses. Could this be a hieroglyphic representation of Ramesses' name?

The details in the excerpt point to which big-picture idea?

Hieroglyphs are both a representation of sounds and symbols.
Several famous names can be found in the Biblical Book of Exodus.
The sun has symbolic meaning in many different cultures.
Champollion knew that the Egyptian word for “sun” was pronounced rah.
