A Home Away from Home Read this passage from "A Home Away from Home."
When summer finally arrived and eighth grade ended, my
thoughts turned to Grandma Rose and her small farm in South
Carolina. I couldn't wait to sit with her on the porch and listen
to her tell old family stories. Every summer, my parents, my
younger brother and sisters, and I drove down to the farm from
our apartment in Baltimore. Aunts, uncles, and cousins from
other parts of the country joined us there. We all came to
spend time together, share memories, and celebrate Grandma
Rose's birthday
For the cousins, the annual visit was a way of measuring our
growth, both physical and emotional. How much taller were we
this summer? Which barn shelf could we reach? What would we
be allowed to do this summer, now that we were a year older?
How does this passage make a connection between visiting the
farm and growing up?
o
by explaining that the cousins notice how they have
each changed since the summer before
by saying that her family visits the farm every year to
celebrate Grandma Rose's birthday
I was named Caroline Rose after my Grandma Rose because
we shared the same birthday Grandma Rose referred to us as
the "birthday gals," and we had our photograph taken together
every year. This year, I was turning 15 and Grandma Rose
was turning 84. In addition to having the same name and
birthday, we shared other traits as well. "Caroline Rose, you're
just as strong-willed as your Grandma Rose," Mama used to
say to me in exasperation. I loved Grandma Rose and I
wanted to be like her, so I didn't mind,
by explaining that aunts, uncles, and cousins from
all over the country gather at the farm
by revealing that the grown-ups talk about how their
lives have changed over the year
Daddy called the 12-hour drive to the farm "our pilgrimage,"

How did the older men calm the younger ones down when they learned from some of the prisoners where they were? (chapter 3 of the book night)

Read the passage. excerpt from "why equal pay is worth fighting for" by senator elizabeth warren, april 17, 2014 i honestly can't believe that we're still arguing over equal pay in 2014. when i started teaching elementary school after college, the public school district didn't hide the fact that it had two pay scales: one for men and one for women. women have made incredible strides since then. but 40 years later, we're still debating equal pay for equal work. women today still earn only 77 cents for every dollar a man earns, and they're taking a hit in nearly every occupation. bloomberg analyzed census data and found that median earnings for women were lower than those for men in 264 of 265 major occupation categories. in 99.6 percent of occupations, men get paid more than women. that's not an accident; that's discrimination. the effects of this discrimination are real, and they are long lasting. today, more young women go to college than men, but unequal pay makes it harder for them to pay back student loans. pay inequality also means a tougher retirement for women. . for middle-class families today, it usually takes two incomes to get by, and many families depend as much on mom's salary as they do on dad's, if not more. women are the main breadwinners, or joint breadwinners, in two-thirds of the families across the country, and pay discrimination makes it that much harder for these families to stay afloat. women are ready to fight back against pay discrimination, but it's not easy. today, a woman can get fired for asking the guy across the hall how much money he makes. here in the senate, sen. barbara mikulski (d-md.) introduced the paycheck fairness act to give women the tools to combat wage discrimination. it would ensure that salary differences have something to do with the actual job that they are doing, and not just because they are women. senator warren states that the effects of pay discrimination are long-lasting. is this a valid argument supported by accurate evidence? no; warren weakens her point by claiming that the paycheck fairness act would "give women the tools to combat wage discrimination." yes; warren supports her point by noting, "for middle-class families today, it usually takes two incomes to get by." yes; warren supports her point by noting, "pay inequality also means a tougher retirement for women." no; warren weakens her point by noting, "today, a woman can get fired for asking the guy across the hall how much money he makes."

Which best describes why regina tells the group, “i explained to ben that perhaps you hadn’t answered his letters because you didn’t think he was offering you enough, and that the time was getting short and you could guess how much he needed you—”? to make horace feel as though he deserves a portion of the credit to reassure ben that she was telling the truth about her motives to convince ben that he has been wise to trust what she has said to pacify horace before he gets angry about what she has done mark this and return
