Remember: a fluent reader thinks about phrasing. To read aloud smoothly, a reader groups words that go together and only takes a breath after saying the complete phrase.

If you were reading from The Number Devil, which words would you say together as group? Check all that apply.

Heavenly Pickerel

Although cliché,

Over the river and through the woods I went,

I went, and then I went a little farther.

All to get back home, but ‘twas not the destination

I was most excited for, oh no most definitely not the destination

But instead the journey, the journey was the most beautiful

Site I have ever lay my eyes upon...

There was a red overpass with beautiful pickerel,

With color so vibrant a man with shaded spectacles must look away,

Their color resembled the night sky with a purple hue

And so, I decided to say nothing but what was true

These were by far the most beautiful thing to ever be seen

And thus, I felt I would need

To see it again and again till the very end...

And so, I did I saw that pickerel every day and every night till I drew my last breath

On a cold winter's day, my only wish was to see them one last time to only find out they too

Drew their last breath, and so I died old and sad that I did not get to see my friends,

One last time on this winter's day…

And now we are here as I look from above at this beautiful world, I see now there are things more

Beautiful then that pickerel

But I did find it quite nice the pickerel were reborn on thy grave as it made me feel,

As if I was truly still apart of the world…

I shall never forget the ecstasy with which I received the intelligence that my old master (Anthony) had determined to let me go to Baltimore, to live with Mr. Hugh Auld, brother to my old master's son-in-law, Captain Thomas Auld.

We were not regularly allowanced. Our food was coarse corn meal boiled. This was called MUSH. It was put into a large wooden tray or trough, and set down upon the ground. The children were then called, like so many pigs, and like so many pigs they would come and devour the mush; some with oyster-shells, others with pieces of shingle, some with naked hands, and none with spoons. He that ate fastest got most; he that was strongest secured the best place; and few left the trough satisfied.

Reread paragraphs 9–10 of the story. Then answer the multiple-choice questions that follow. From “The Tell-Tale Heart” by Edgar Allan Poe 9 No doubt I now grew very pale;—but I talked more fluently, and with a heightened voice. Yet the sound increased—and what could I do? It was a low, dull, quick sound—much such a sound as a watch makes when enveloped in cotton. I gasped for breath—and yet the officers heard it not. I talked more quickly—more vehemently; but the noise steadily increased. I arose and argued about trifles, in a high key and with violent gesticulations, but the noise steadily increased. Why would they not be gone? I paced the floor to and fro with heavy strides, as if excited to fury by the observations of the men—but the noise steadily increased. Oh God! what could I do? I foamed —I raved—I swore! I swung the chair upon which I had been sitting, and grated it upon the boards, but the noise arose over all and continually increased. It grew louder—louder—louder! And still the men chatted pleasantly, and smiled. Was it possible they heard not? Almighty God!—no, no! They heard!—they suspected!—they knew! —they were making a mockery of my horror!—this I thought, and this I think. But any thing was better than this agony! Any thing was more tolerable than this derision! I could bear those hypocritical smiles no longer! I felt that I must scream or die!—and now—again— hark! louder! louder! louder! louder!— 10 “Villains!” I shrieked, “dissemble no more! I admit the deed!—tear up the planks!—here, here!—it is the beating of his hideous heart!” What effect do the punctuation choices in paragraph 9 have on the tone? Answer choices for the above question A. The dashes and exclamation marks reveal that the narrator is losing control. B. The italics make it clear that the narrator’s words aren’t to be trusted. C. The semicolons introduce a formal tone into an informal speech. D. The frequent questions reveal the narrator’s attempt to engage the reader. Which phrase from the passage most clearly suggests the narrator’s disturbed mental state at the end of the story? Answer choices for the above question A. “but I talked more fluently” B. “Why would they not be gone?” C. “It grew louder—louder—louder!” D. “And still the men chatted pleasantly” Yall i need help rn its due at 1:55

HELP!!!!
Thinking back to that presentation in the library makes me smile. What started out as three high school boys skipping class turned out to be the most significant event in our lives. If we had made it to the gym that day instead of the library, more than likely the streets would have swallowed us in the next few years. We never would have become doctors. Every­thing we needed to start on the road to success was included in one forty-five-minute presentation. And we almost missed it.

This was the first time that a path to my dreams was shown to me. Deep inside, I knew I could accomplish anything if given the chance. I just didn't know how to find that opportunity. That presentation showed me the possibility of reaching goals I had only dared to dream about. I think if a person dreams hard enough, sometimes a door will open to make that dream come true. Of course, it helps to be prepared to go through the door when the opportunity arises. We almost missed it.

We also had no idea that day that we were forming a pact that would last a lifetime. We just knew that somehow each of us individually might fail, but the strength of the three of us together just might be enough to succeed.

—We Beat the Street,
Sampson Davis et al

Based on the central ideas and details from the passage, write one to three sentences summarizing how the three friends changed and stayed the same after seeing the presentation.

Read the excerpt from Immigrant Kids, by Russell Freedman. But the journey was not yet over. Before they could be admitted to the United States, immigrants had to pass through Ellis Island, which became the nation's chief immigrant processing center in 1892. There they would be questioned and examined. Those who could not pass all the exams would be detained; some would be sent back to Europe. And so their arrival in America was filled with great anxiety. Among the immigrants, Ellis Island was known as "Heartbreak Island." Which answer choice best paraphrases this excerpt? Ellis Island, the major processing center for immigrants in 1892, was called “Heartbreak Island” by the immigrants. If they failed to pass all the required examinations, they would be detained on the island, and perhaps even sent back to the country they came from. All in all, the process was frightening for an immigrant. Ellis Island was the main processing center for immigrants in 1892. There the immigrants were given exams and questioned by authorities. If they were not able to pass all the tests, they could be sent back to their homeland, or detained. Immigrants called Ellis Island “Heartbreak Island” for a reason. The United States government was unfair in the way it decided who could come into the country and who would be sent back to their native land. Instead of evaluating the immigrants so harshly, the officials should have been more welcoming. Before they could enter the United States, immigrants had to pass through Ellis Island, which was the country’s main processing center for immigrants in 1892. There they would be asked questions and tested. Those who could not pass all the tests would be kept on island; some would be sent back to their own country. Among the immigrants, Ellis Island was known as “Heartbreak Island.”
