PLEASE HELP!!!! We Wear the Mask
By Paul Lawrence Dunbar
We wear the mask that grins and lies,
It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,—
This debt we pay to human guile;
With torn and bleeding hearts we smile
And mouth with myriad subtleties,
Why should the world be over-wise,
In counting all our tears and sighs?
Nay, let them only see us, while
We wear the mask.
We smile, but oh great Christ, our cries
To thee from tortured souls arise.
We sing, but oh the clay is vile
Beneath our feet, and long the mile,
But let the world dream otherwise,
We wear the mask!

A) a time of happiness and discovery.

Sympathy
By Paul Laurence Dunbar
I know what the caged bird feels, alas!
When the sun is bright on the upland slopes;
When the wind stirs soft through the springing grass,
And the river flows like a stream of glass;
When the first bird sings and the first bud opens,
And the faint perfume from its chalice steals—
I know what the caged bird feels!

I know why the caged bird beats his wing
Till its blood is red on the cruel bars;
For he must fly back to his perch and cling
When he fain would be on the bough a-swing;
And a pain still throbs in the old, old scars
And they pulse again with a keener sting—
I know why he beats his wing!

I know why the caged bird sings, ah me,
When his wing is bruised and his bosom sore,—
When he beats his bars and he would be free;
It is not a carol of joy or glee,
But a prayer that he sends from his heart’s deep core,
But a plea, that upward to Heaven he flings—
I know why the caged bird sings!

And they pulse again with a keener sting—
I know why he beats his wing!
B) When he beats his bars and he would be free;

I know what the caged bird feels!

Read the paragraph. Then answer the items. Giraffes’ towering height is the key to their ability to survive in their often-dry habitat. It allows them to reach the tender leaves at the top of acacia trees. Because these leaves are about three-quarters water, they also provide moisture when there are no watering places nearby. Giraffes didn’t just decide to grow longer necks to reach these leaves! Over hundreds of generations, the tallest giraffes, who could reach more leaves, became healthier, lived longer, and had more offspring. Gradually, the average height increased.3.
