The Fox and The Four Deer

By: Christian Steele

Once upon a time, there were 4 deer. Chase, Starbuck, Hurricane, and, Willow. They were walking when a fox started chasing them. The 4 deer always bragged that they were the swiftest in the land. And today was their chance to show everybody just how fast they were. They were winning the race until they started acting too cocky. The fox was starting to gain speed and catch up to the 4 deer. He ate one of the 4 deer. The other 3 ran faster than before. Now they were in grave danger. And they got away before he could get them. Their mom always told them they should watch what they say. The 3 learned a valuable lesson: don’t lie when you’re not really fast or you may end up losing your life or your siblings’ lives.

Read this excerpt from Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll.

This sounded nonsense to Alice, so she said nothing, but set off at once towards the Red Queen. To her surprise, she lost sight of her in a moment, and found herself walking in at the front-door again.

A little provoked, she drew back, and after looking everywhere for the queen (whom she spied out at last, a long way off), she thought she would try the plan, this time, of walking in the opposite direction.

It succeeded beautifully. She had not been walking a minute before she found herself face to face with the Red Queen, and full in sight of the hill she had been so long aiming at.

Why does Alice need to walk in the opposite direction to get to the Red Queen?

because the Red Queen has moved to another location
because Alice is initially walking in the wrong direction
because the house has changed the location of its windows and doors
because in this land the opposite way of doing things is often the correct way

Read this excerpt from Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll.

“I'm sure I'm very sorry,” was all Alice could say; for the words of the old song kept ringing through her head like the ticking of a clock, and she could hardly help saying them out loud:—

“Tweedledum and Tweedledee
Agreed to have a battle;
For Tweedledum said Tweedledee
Had spoiled his nice new rattle.

Just then flew down a monstrous crow,
As black as a tar-barrel;
Which frightened both the heroes so,
They quite forgot their quarrel.”

Shortly after Alice sings this song, Tweedledee and Tweedledum begin to battle. This is evidence that

walking backward means going forward in the looking-glass land.
one has to run quickly in order to stand still in the looking-glass land.
fictional characters are real in the looking-glass land.
things happen only every other day in the looking-glass land.

U.S. elections 2020: a guide to the race for the White House

------------------------------------------------

On November 3, 2020, Americans will head to the polls and vote. Here is an overview of two parts of the election process.

What's the 2020 election all about?

This election's main event is choosing who will hold the next presidential term. Voters will also decide which party will control the U.S. Congress for the next two years and which party dominates in state legislatures and governorships. Still, the big question is whether President Donald Trump can win reelection, so all eyes are on the Democrats and the candidate they will nominate to take on Trump.

In 2016, Trump's election was an unexpected victory over Democrat Hillary Clinton. Trump won swing states, or states that do not have a clear party alignment. This included Florida and North Carolina. Some blue states, or those that historically vote Democrat, turned red for Republican, including Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan. In 2020, however, the Democratic candidate will be different, the issues are different, and the electorate, or pool of American voters, has changed.

Democrats will try to defend their majority in the House of Representatives, where all 435 seats are up for election. They will also try to take control of the Senate, where 34 of the 100 seats will be voted on. Elections will also be held at the local and state level, including 11 elections for governor.

Who can vote?

There are more than 250 million people of voting age in the United States in 2020. That electorate will be different from the one in 2016. The voters will be more racially diverse and younger than ever. They will consist of about 33 percent non-white voters and 10 percent Generation Z voters, or those between the ages of 18 and 23.

In 2016, about 42 percent of Americans who were able to vote decided not to or were blocked from voting. However, the 2018 midterm elections saw a huge surge in voter turnout. This could mean the 2020 elections could see an expanded electorate. At the same time, experts say efforts to block voters may have hindered Democrats in 2018, and may continue to be an obstacle in the upcoming vote.

These are the articles:

It's Saturday night. You've just fallen asleep after spending the day hanging out with friends, watching movies, and enjoying being a typical teenager on the weekend. Suddenly, the beeper on your nightstand goes off. You jump up and get ready because someone needs your help. For a group of teenagers in Alaska, known as the Dragon Slayers, this is nothing unusual. They are from the town of Aniak, located about three hundred fifty miles west of Anchorage. Forget driving there, you can only reach the town by plane! There are around six hundred residents and one medical clinic, but the doctor only visits once a month. This means that if you are visited by a medical or fire "dragon," getting treatment or being rescued might be difficult. In fact, until the Slayers were formed, there was no emergency service in the town after 4 p.m. To address the problem, the fire chief decided to train qualified teenagers as first responders. He believed that because most of them did not have jobs, they had the time required to take on the responsibility.

Today, the Dragon Slayers respond to about 450 calls per year. They are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The team is made up of 14- to 18-year-old girls and boys. No matter what the emergency, it is important that Dragon Slayers remain calm and have the medical skills to help those who need them. They have over two hundred hours of medical and fire-safety training. All are certified emergency trauma technicians. They must also get passing grades in school and be drug and alcohol free. They are expected to treat everything from minor injuries requiring only first aid, to more serious issues such as heart attacks. They may be called to scenes ranging from small plane crashes to automobile accidents.

Their efforts have saved both lives and property. Just ask a former principal at their high school. At first, he didn't like the idea of Slayers being called out of class to respond to emergencies. However, he changed his mind after suffering a diabetic emergency at school and being cared for by the quick-thinking Slayers. Additionally, if it weren't for the actions of Amanda Hoeldt and several of her Dragon Slayer friends, the community hall might have burned to the ground when it caught fire in 2009. Although not allowed to enter the building, she and the other Slayers set up hoses that eventually put out the blaze, saving the structure. After observing the girls respond to an emergency call, state trooper Sgt. Mike Duxbury commented, "They helped each other out. Gave each other encouragement. They worked as a team."

Amanda says that the Dragon Slayers also benefit from their participation in the program. She feels that she is prepared to handle nearly any situation that comes her way. Through teaching others in her community life-saving skills, she has become more confident in her leadership abilities. Agnes Nicoli, another Slayer, says of her participation in the program, "Being able to save lives and save property is a wonderful feeling." Most Slayers go to college, and many of them choose careers in the medical field. And, just in case you're wondering what happens when a Slayer graduates, he or she is replaced by a "Lizard Killer." A Lizard Killer is a younger member of the program who is still in training. Upon completion of that training, he or she earns the right to be promoted to Dragon Slayer.

Directions: Read the passage, and answer the question that follows.

"Oscar Comes to Hollywood. Years ago, large powerful studios controlled the lives of actors. The studio bosses said which movies actors would be in, how much money they could earn, and how they should live. Some actors rebelled against the studio's rules. They bought fast sports cars and drove them recklessly. They went to wild, all-night parties and generally lived "life in the fast lane." These actions didn't make them popular with the public. Then, in 1927, some movie actors formed the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, an alliance of actors, directors, and other movie people. This partnership met to exchange ideas about how to make movies and how to promote their industry. The Academy eventually came up with a clever idea for making sure that members of the industry were recognized. The Awards Committee planned a small, simple ceremony, now known as the Academy Awards. A studio art director named Cedric Gibbons designed a 14-inch tall, shiny, golden statuette that would be given to the winners. The statuette was soon given the nickname Oscar after an Academy employee remarked that it looked like her uncle Oscar! Today, actors in fancy dresses and glittering jewels walk the red carpet on their way to the ceremony. Underneath all the glamour, each actor's pulse is galloping wildly. There is a lot at stake. Winning an Oscar can be both satisfying and profitable.

Which descriptive phrase in the passage helped you visualize what the Oscar award looks like?
