As they suddenly start toward the house. In this brief fraction of a moment they take the first step toward performing a metamorphosis that changes people from a group into a mob. They begin to head purposefully across the street toward the house at the end. Steve stands in front of them. For a moment their fear almost turns their walk into a wild stampede but Steve's voice, loud, incisive and commanding, makes them stop.


STEVE


Wait a minute . . . wait a minute! Let's not be a mob!


The people stop as a group, seem to pause for a moment and then much more quietly and slowly start to walk across the street.


When a crowd gathers outside Les’s house, Steve comments, "Let’s not be a mob!” What does this show about Steve?

He has become the main instigator of the mob as they rush toward Les Goodman’s house.

He has been taken over by emotions and lost his ability to think sensibly.

He thinks the aliens are attacking the neighborhood and he must defend himself.

Today's Lesson: Hip-Hop by Anita Perry

Year after year, most literature classes cover the same authors and genres. It’s time that educators made a change. For teachers to keep current and engage students, we must allow students to read diverse texts from their own generation. As a first step, hip-hop should be included in the literature curriculum.

This suggestion is not as odd as it may seem. After all, hip-hop is simply another form of poetry, as are all song lyrics. The verses of hip-hop have rhyme schemes, rhythms, and meters. In addition, hip-hop lyrics deal with the same timeless themes as other forms of poetry, including heartache and the challenges of growing up. In many ways, today’s hip-hop artists are contemporary versions of William Shakespeare and Emily Dickinson, only with a modern, fresh perspective...

Sister Carrie
by Theodore Dreiser
She brooded over her lines the livelong day on Friday—reporting first for a final rehearsal and later studying alone in her room.
"Oh, dear! dear!" she said, "I just know I won't succeed."
At the rehearsal Hurstwood put in an appearance. He could not resist the temptation.
"Well," he said, "I thought I had better run out and see how you felt."
"Oh, I don't know," said Carrie. "I'm rather shaky."
"Well, don't you be now," he said cordially, "it isn't worth it. These people will be indulgent with you. Besides it will be nothing if you do miss some of your lines. Just drive on—you'll come out all right. You will—now be easy."
Adapted from Theodore Dreiser's Sister Carrie, 1900.

Can someone help me with this

Read the rough draft of a student’s conclusion to an argumentative editorial. (1) Year-round schooling would help student achievement. (2) Not so much information would have to be crammed into nine months. (3) Furthermore, the elimination of long breaks, particularly summer break, would significantly reduce "learning loss” and the additional time wasted at the beginning of each academic year to reteach previously learned material. (4) It is clear that year-round schooling helps students learn and retain more. (5) The United States is not the only country to experiment with a year-round school schedule. (6) Although many still claim that evidence about year-round school and its link to higher achievement is inconclusive, these people need to open their eyes and see that students in these schools consistently score higher on certain assessments than students who attend schools with traditional nine-month calendars. (7) It is about time that we replaced our outdated and inefficient school calendars. Which best revises sentence 6 to create a more appropriate and respectful tone? Although many still claim that evidence about year-round school and its link to higher achievement is inconclusive, studies consistently reveal that year-round students score higher on certain assessments than those students who attend schools with traditional nine-month calendars. Although many still claim that evidence about year-round school and its link to higher achievement is inconclusive, this theory is wrong because students in year-round schools consistently score higher on certain assessments than those students who attend schools with traditional nine-month calendars. Although many still claim that evidence about year-round school and its link to higher achievement is inconclusive, they would admit defeat if only they would do their research and find that students in year-round schools consistently score higher on certain assessments than those students who attend schools with traditional nine-month calendars.

This is the exerpt.... The fire was burning furiously at the end of the branch, and Mowgli struck right and left round the circle, and the wolves ran howling with the sparks burning their fur. At last there were only Akela, Bagheera, and perhaps ten wolves that had taken Mowgli's part. Then something began to hurt Mowgli inside him, as he had never been hurt in his life before, and he caught his breath and sobbed, and the tears ran down his face.

"What is it? What is it?" he said. "I do not wish to leave the jungle, and I do not know what this is. Am I dying, Bagheera?"

"No, Little Brother. Those are only tears such as men use," said Bagheera. "Now I know thou art a man, and a man's cub no longer. The jungle is shut indeed to thee henceforward. Let them fall, Mowgli; they are only tears." So Mowgli sat and cried as though his heart would break; and he had never cried in all his life before.

The time you helped someone do something

This is the opening extract of the novel, The Woman In Black. In this extract, the narrator discusses what his life is like now, long after a traumatic ordeal with a ghostly woman who stole the life of his only son.
CHRISTMAS EVE
It was nine-thirty on Christmas Eve. As I crossed the long entrance hall of Monk’s Piece on my way home from the dining room, where we had just enjoyed the first of the happy, festive meals, towards the drawing room and the fire around which my family were now assembled, I paused and then, as I often do in the course of an evening, went to the front door, opened it and stepped outside.
I have always liked to take a breath of the evening, to smell the air, whether it is sweetly scented and balmy with the flowers of midsummer, pungent with the bonfires and leaf-mould of autumn, or crackling cold from frost and snow. I like to look about me at the sky above my head, whether there are moon or stars or utter blackness, and into the darkness ahead of me; I like to listen for the cries of nocturnal creatures and the moaning rise and fall of the wind, or the pattering of rain in the orchard trees, I enjoy the rush of air towards me up the hill from the flat pastures of the river valley.
Tonight, I smelled at once, and with a lightning heart, that there had been a change in the weather. All the previous week, we had had rain, chilling rain and a mist that lay low about the house and over the countryside. From the windows, the view stretched not farther than a yard or two down the garden. It was wretched weather, never seeming to come fully light, and raw, too. There had been no pleasure in walking, the visibility was too poor for any shouting and the dogs were permanently morose and muddy. Inside the house, the lamps were lit throughout the day and the walls of larder outhouse and cellar oozed damp and smelled sour, the fires sputtered and smoked, burning dismally low.
My spirits have for many years now been excessively affected by the ways of the weather, and I confess that, had it not been for the air of cheerfulness and bustle that prevailed in the rest of the house, I should have been quite cast down in gloom and lethargy, unable to enjoy the flavour of life as I should like and irritated by my own susceptibility. But Esme is merely stung by inclement weather into a spirited defiance, and so the preparations four our Christmas holiday had this year been more than usually extensive and vigorous.
I took a step or two out from under the shadow of the house so that I could see around me in the moonlight. Monk’s piece stands at the summit of land that rises gently up for some four hundred feet from where the little River Nee traces its winding way in a north to south direction across this fertile, and sheltered, part of the century. Below us are pastures, interspersed with small clumps of mixed, broadleaf woodland. But at our backs for several square miles it is quite a different area of rough scrub and a heathland, a patch of wildness in the midst of a well-farmed country. We are but two miles from a good-sized village, seven from the principal market town, yet there is an air of remoteness and isolation which makes us feel ourselves to be much further from civilization.
