Use the poem "Recuerdo" by Edna St. Vincent Millay to complete the activity.

(1) We were very tired, we were very merry—

We had gone back and forth all night on the ferry.

It was bare and bright, and smelled like a stable—

But we looked into a fire, we leaned across a table,

We lay on a hill-top underneath the moon;

And the whistles kept blowing, and the dawn came soon.

(2) We were very tired, we were very merry—

We had gone back and forth all night on the ferry;

And you ate an apple, and I ate a pear,

From a dozen of each we had bought somewhere;

And the sky went wan, and the wind came cold,

And the sun rose dripping, a bucketful of gold.

(3) We were very tired, we were very merry,

We had gone back and forth all night on the ferry.

We hailed, “Good morrow, mother!” to a shawl-covered head,

And bought a morning paper, which neither of us read;

And she wept, “God bless you!” for the apples and pears,

And we gave her all our money but our subway fares.

Read the excerpt from Immigrant Kids by Russell Freedman. Men, women, and children were packed into dark, foul-smelling compartments. They slept in narrow punks stacked three high. They had no showers, no lounges, and no dining rooms. Food served from huge kettles were dished into dinner pails provided by the steamship company . . . The voyage was an ordeal, but it was worth it. . . . Edward Corsi, who later became United States Commissioner of Immigration, was a ten-year-old Italian immigrant when he sailed into New York harbor in 1907: My first impressions of the New World will always remain etched in my memory, particularly that hazy October morning when I first saw Ellis Island. The steamer Florida, fourteen days out of Naples, filled to capacity with 1600 natives of Italy, had weathered one of the worst storms in our captain’s memory; and glad we were, both children and grown-ups, to leave the open sea and come at last through the Narrows into the Bay. My mother, my stepfather, my brother Giuseppe, and my two sisters, Liberta and Helvetia, all of us together, happy that we had come through the storm safely, clustered on the foredeck for fear of separation and looked with wonder on this miraculous land of our dreams. According to the passage, the voyage was difficult, but worthwhile. How does the quotation from Edward Corsi develop this topic?

Read "Sonnet" by James Weldon Johnson. In a well-written paragraph of 5–7 sentences, explain how the structure of the poem affects its meaning. Be sure to discuss the meter, rhyme scheme, shift, and couplet.


My heart be brave, and do not falter so,

Nor utter more that deep, despairing wail.

Thy way is very dark and drear I know,

But do not let thy strength and courage fail;

For certain as the raven-winged night

Is followed by the bright and blushing morn,

Thy coming morrow will be clear and bright;

'Tis darkest when the night is furthest worn.

Look up, and out, beyond, surrounding clouds,

And do not in thine own gross darkness grope,

Rise up, and casting off thy hind'ring shrouds,

Cling thou to this, and ever inspiring hope:

Tho' thick the battle and tho' fierce the fight,

There is a power making for the right.

Grabbing a small object, such as an apple, may seem automatic and easy. But few people consider the complex biological mechanism underlying this simple act. Neurons in the brain instantly fire in patterns that send commands down the spinal cord. These commands are relayed to muscle tissue in the arm. The tissue contracts, raising the arm, extending an elbow, or flexing the wrist and fingers. For some people with spinal cord injuries, those commands are hindered by their damaged nervous systems. Their brains are no longer able to send messages throughout their bodies. For these people, these actions may require substantial effort or be completely impossible.



This process is _________.


A unconscious
B unprecedented
C hazardous
D excessive

write a hook for persuasive essay. the issue: is the outsiders relevant today?

People have the right to meet in groups and share ideas. However, a protest can disrupt traffic or other normal activities. A city must provide extra police protection to keep people safe. Therefore, the city has the right to require permission in advance for a protest. Government must make laws to balance the rights of individuals and different groups of people.

A. The paragraph describes the purpose of laws in a community but lacks the use of any text connections.

C. The paragraph uses categories of comparison to judge whether individual or group rights are most important.

why is this poem the biggest piece of junk on the planet it makes no sense

The right to make my dreams come true,
I ask, nay, I demand of life,
Nor shall fate's deadly contraband
Impede my steps, nor countermand;
Too long my heart against the ground
Has beat the dusty years around,
And now at length I rise! I wake!
And stride into the morning break!
