Excerpt from A Change of Plans
Rasheida Gomez

The day of Josephine and Cora's campout had finally arrived. The two friends had been planning the campout for more than two weeks. They picked out a spot for the tent in Josephine's backyard. They chose the games they wanted to play. Now they were at the store with Josephine's dad buying camping food. "This campout is going to be perfect," Cora said as she dropped a bag of marshmallows into the cart. "We have the perfect tent, the perfect games, and the perfect food!"

Just then a loud clap of thunder sounded outside. The wind whipped as a bright flash filled the dark sky.

"But not the perfect weather," Cora moaned.

"That was thunder and that means rain. Rain means no camping," Josephine groaned.

"I guess we can stop shopping!" Cora snapped. She began taking food out of the cart.

As Josephine's father placed the food back in the cart, he told the girls not to give up on their campout. They paid for the food and went back to Josephine's house to wait out the storm.

At dinnertime the sky remained dark gray as the rain continued to pour down outside. The girls sat in silence while they ate. Cora looked out the window and said sadly, "I can't believe it's still raining. Our campout was supposed to be perfect."
What did Cora mean when she said, "This campout is going to be perfect"?

A) Cora's parents' house was the best place to host a campout.
B) Cora planned the campout to bond with her perfect friend, Josephine.
C) They made a lot of plans and collected a lot of stuff for camping.
D) Josephine and Cora's campout would celebrate their perfect attendance for not being absent from school.

When we as individuals, and as a state are silent - when we let others make decisions for us without stating our beliefs - we forfeit our freedom. When we stand up and speak out, when we express our desires and concerns, then and only then, will we have effective government."




-former Gov. Bill Clements
