When Geraldine looked to the sky, she was amazed by what she saw. The tail from a comet cut across the sky like a knife through butter. It was the first time she had seen one in real life. Every comet she had seen up until now came from a book.

She almost didn't see it at first. The stars hung in the sky like a million eyes blinking and winking down at Geraldine. Geraldine wasn't even thinking about them or the campfire or the woods. Her mind was someplace else, and she had her mind on a lot of different things. She was thinking about how she was going to pay for college. She was thinking about graduation. She was thinking about everything but the sky. The last time that she was in the woods was when she was a little girl. It seemed so foreign to her. As her mind wandered, that's when the comet appeared. It was almost like it had read her thoughts. It passed over her head, and she traced its path with her finger like she was waving a magic wand.

Read Edward Corsi’s quotation from the book Immigrant Kids by Russell Freedman.

The writer Angelo Pellegrini has recalled his own family’s detention at Ellis Island:

We lived there for three days - Mother and we five children, the youngest of whom was three years old. Because of the rigorous physical examination that we had to submit to, particularly of the eyes, there was this terrible anxiety that one of us might be rejected. And if one of us was, what would the rest of the family do?

This quotation adds credibility to the text because

his mother lived on Ellis Island with her children, and their experience agrees with Freedman’s statement that families were separated.
he lived at Ellis Island for three days, and his experience agrees with Freedman’s statement that families were afraid of the health examinations.
he was a writer who wrote about Ellis Island and described the feelings an immigrant might have during the physical exams.
he lived at Ellis Island for three days, and his experience shows that immigrants actually were not very fearful of the health examinations.

Money is a needful and precious thing,—and, when well used, a noble thing,—but I never want you to think it is the first or only prize to strive for. I'd rather see you poor men's wives, if you were happy, beloved, contented, than queens on thrones, without self- respect and peace. Marmee tells her daughters this shortly after Meg returns from a fortnight with the well-to-do Moffats. Amy and Meg have both wanted to have nicer things and be a part of high society, but cannot because Father lost their wealth. Without marrying well, they will never have more than they do right now and will always have to work. Selecting either Meg or Amy as the focus of your answer, discuss whether either girl learns the lesson Marmee tries to teach them here. Use details to explain why they have or have not.

Someday you'll have to go out into the world and get a job. Though that day may be a little far off, it's never too early to practice professional communication. This project will give you the opportunity to do just that. You will write a business letter and a memo.

OBJECTIVES
Write a business letter and a memo.
Instructions:
As you write your business letter and memo, be sure to include all the proper elements. Refer to the list below as you begin writing. Remember, before you begin writing, be sure to choose which business where you want your letter received, and choose a person for which you'll write a memo.

Date--indicates the date the letter was written
Sender's address--considered an optional feature; it includes the address of the sender. It does not list the sender's name or position.
Inside address--includes the name of the person who will receive the letter and the complete address. Include the person's title such as Dr., Mr., or Ms. when unaware of a woman's title preference.
Greeting/salutation--includes the title and full name, followed by a colon
Body--provides details of the purpose for the letter. The first paragraph introduces the main idea. The middle of the letter or second paragraph explains the main idea. The end or last paragraph summarizes the main purpose for the letter and explains any required action. The writer must weigh the purpose for the letter against the length of the final copy of the letter. If the writer is seeking information or a job, then the letter is generally three paragraphs in length. It should not be too long or troublesome to read, but if the letter conveys specific information that the reader requested or needs, it may be longer.
Closing--"Sincerely" is the standard closing. It should be brief and followed by a comma.
Signature--The signature includes the signed and printed name of the writer.
Notations--includes additional information, depending on the purpose of the letter
enclosures: provides a signal that other material is included with the letter
continued pages: informs the reader that the letter extends beyond one page
typist's initials: tells the reader who typed the letter; original writers do not include initials.
cc: When carbon copies were used to create duplicates, cc indicated that a carbon copy was made and other people would receive the same letter. Today, the process of copying documents has certainly changed, but the name means the same.

Read the excerpt from “The Monkey's Paw.” He went down in the darkness, and felt his way to the parlour, and then to the mantelpiece. The talisman was in its place, and a horrible fear that the unspoken wish might bring his mutilated son before him ere he could escape from the room seized upon him, and he caught his breath as he found that he had lost the direction of the door. His brow cold with sweat, he felt his way round the table, and groped along the wall until he found himself in the small passage with the unwholesome thing in his hand. Even his wife's face seemed changed as he entered the room. It was white and expectant, and to his fears seemed to have an unnatural look upon it. He was afraid of her.
What is the mood of the excerpt?

angry
sorrowful
disgusted
