Determine whether each quotation has the characteristics of Idealism or realism.
The captain of the youth's company had
been killed in an early part of the action.
His body lay stretched out in the position
of a tired man resting, but upon his face
there was an astonished and sorrowful
look, as if he thought some friend had
done him an ill turn. The babbling man
was grazed by a shot that made the
blood stream widely down his face.
He clapped both hands to his head
(from The Red Badge of Courage
by Stephen Crane)
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so
gallantly streaming? And the rockets' red
glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave
proof through the night that our flag was
still there; O say does that star-spangled
banner yet wave, O'er the land of the free
and the home of the brave? (from "Star
Spangled Banner" by Francis Scott Key)
Cruelty so fiendish could never have a cause,
but it cannot be denied that the torture of
Crawford was the effect of the butchery of
the Christian Indians. That awful deed was an
act of even greater wickedness, for it was the
act of men who were not savage by birth or
race or creed, (from "The Torture of Colonel
Crawford" by William Dean Howells )

Checklist imagine that your local library has invited community members to submit proposals for a fundraiser. you are the student representative on the committee to choose the best proposal. read the two proposals, paying close attention to their similarities and differences. consider whether or not each proposal is logistically feasible, which fundraiser will most appeal to members of your community, and which fundraiser will likely raise more money. which proposal do you think the committee should choose? write an essay in which you make a case for your choice. support your argument with references to specific details in each proposal. proposal 1: the best way to get people invested in the library is to show them the joy of reading. for that reason, the library should hold a book sale. people could donate books that they no longer want, and the librarians could find books that the library no longer needs. volunteers would need to sort the books into categories and arrange them in an inviting way, like at a bookstore. books should be inexpensive so people will buy more of them – maybe fifty cents for paperbacks and two dollars for hardcover books. a book sale would appeal to people of all ages, from little kids to older people. there should also be a table where people can sign up for library cards. that way, if visitors do not find any books they want at the sale, they can come back to the library. proposal 2: a great way to make money for the library would be holding a car wash. the softball team at my school raised over $400 at their car wash last year! the car wash could be held in the library parking lot on a saturday morning. you could ask local high school students to volunteer to wash the cars. that would be a great way to get students involved with the library. it takes two or three volunteers to wash a car quickly, so you would need at least ten volunteers. you could charge around ten dollars per car. even people who are not very interested in reading like to have a clean car, so you would get a lot of people to stop by who might not otherwise come to a library fundraiser.
