Read "The Debt” by Paul Laurence Dunbar.

This is the debt I pay
Just for one riotous day,
Years of regret and grief,
Sorrow without relief.

Pay it I will to the end —
Until the grave, my friend,
Gives me a true release —
Gives me the clasp of peace.

Slight was the thing I bought,
Small was the debt I thought,
Poor was the loan at best —
God! but the interest!

What does the stress on the words at the beginning and end of lines 9 and 10 help show about the speaker?

He purchased something without knowing how much it would cost.
He thought for a while before purchasing the small thing he wanted.
He did not know that he would eventually have to pay back the loan.
He did not realize that a thing so small could affect his life so greatly.

The Charge of the Light Brigade


Half a league, half a league,

Half a league onward,

All in the valley of Death

Rode the six hundred:

'Forward, the Light Brigade!

Charge for the guns' he said:

Into the valley of Death

Rode the six hundred.


'Forward, the Light Brigade!'

Was there a man dismay'd ?

Not tho' the soldier knew

Some one had blunder'd:

Theirs not to make reply,

Theirs not to reason why,

Theirs but to do and die,

Into the valley of Death

Rode the six hundred.


Cannon to right of them,

Cannon to left of them,

Cannon in front of them

Volley'd and thunder'd;

Storm'd at with shot and shell,

Boldly they rode and well,

Into the jaws of Death,

Into the mouth of Hell

Rode the six hundred.


Flash'd all their sabres bare,

Flash'd as they turn'd in air

Sabring the gunners there,

Charging an army while

All the world wonder'd:

Plunged in the battery-smoke

Right thro' the line they broke;

Cossack and Russian

Reel'd from the sabre-stroke,

Shatter'd and sunder'd.

Then they rode back, but not

Not the six hundred.


Cannon to right of them,

Cannon to left of them,

Cannon behind them

Volley'd and thunder'd;

Storm'd at with shot and shell,

While horse and hero fell,

They that had fought so well

Came thro' the jaws of Death,

Back from the mouth of Hell,

All that was left of them,

Left of six hundred.


When can their glory fade?

O the wild charge they made!

All the world wonder'd.

Honour the charge they made!

Honour the Light Brigade,

Noble six hundred!

Introduction Paragraph: should students be required to have a certain GPA in order to play school sports?

All Victor ever wanted to do with his life was be a singer. He didn't pay attention in school, and
he spent all his time at home listening to music and impersonating his idols. His mother tried to
teach him the value of getting an education and having a backup plan. But Victor would respond
the same way every time, "Mom, I won't need to know any of that boring old stuff when I'm
famous. You'll see." There was one major problem with Victor's plan: he wasn't any good at
singing. Victor enjoyed singing so much that he didn't notice the pained look on the faces of
those who endured his singing. Some lied to him and said they liked his singing. Other people
told him to find something else to do with his life. Victor accused those people of being "jealous
haters" and ignored their advice. Soon Victor dropped out of high school to focus on his music
career. The years passed and the doors never opened. What is the theme of this story?

Read the passage.

People were always telling Jimmy to settle down and keep quiet, especially his teachers. Jimmy emerged as the chief disruptive force in his classes. As soon as he came into view, teachers knew that chaos would follow. If someone made a mistake, Jimmy was the first to notice and point it out. If someone got an answer right, Jimmy would make fun of the student for trying too hard. The joking and insults were a constant interruption and came at frequent intervals.

Trips to the principal’s office and detentions didn’t curb his outbursts. Jimmy’s father even tried to get him to back off by threatening to send him to a military academy. For a while, it seemed, nothing could make Jimmy retreat from his bad behavior. What no one knew was that Jimmy thought he was practicing for a future career as a stand-up comedian.
