read the excerpt from flannery o’connor’s “the life you save may be your own.”

he held the pose for almost fifty seconds and then he picked up his box and came on to the porch and dropped down on the bottom step. “lady,” he said in a firm nasal voice, “i’d give a fortune to live where i could see me a sun do that every evening.”

keeping in mind the ending of the story, which best describes the irony of mr. shiftlet’s statement?
mr. shiftlet does not need a fortune, as he places no value on financial wealth or the security of having a permanent home.
instead of staying at the plantation, where he can see sunsets like these for the rest of his life, he runs away with mrs. crater’s car and money.
according to mrs. crater, the sun sets like this every evening, and if he stays at the plantation, mr. shiftlet will see this regularly.
no amount of money can ensure that an individual will witness a sunset to equal this one and will see it every single day.

The greatest gift the sumerians gave the world was the invention of writing. the sumerians were a wealthy people. they needed some way to keep track of what they owned. they began drawing pictures. they used a reed as a pen. they drew on soft pieces of clay. the soft clay was then dried in the sun. the tablet became a permanent record. later, the sumerian drawings changed into wedge-shaped symbols. this kind of writing is called cuneiform. by putting symbols together, the sumerians could write entire sentences.

Read the excerpt from ernest hemingway’s “soldier's home.” his father was in the real estate business and always wanted the car to be at his command when he required it to take clients out into the country to show them a piece of farm property. the car always stood outside the first national bank building where his father had an office on the second floor. now, after the war, it was still the same car. nothing was changed in the town except that the young girls had grown up. how does hemingway’s description of the town as unchanged impact the readers’ perception of krebs? it emphasizes that while the town has remained the same, krebs has changed. it illustrates that krebs despises the town he grew up in because it is boring. it demonstrates that krebs views himself as similar to the other soldiers from his town. it reveals that krebs is jealous of those who were able to stay in town and avoid the war.
