Like a boil that can never be cured as long as it is covered up but must be opened with all its pus-flowing ugliness to the natural medicines of air and light, injustice must likewise be exposed, with all of the tension its exposing creates, to the light of human conscience and the air of national opinion before it can be cured.

Select the correct text in the passage.


In the Gettysburg Address, Abraham Lincoln explains why the dead soldiers will be remembered. Which of the following paragraphs best
addresses this idea?

A. Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the
proposition that all men are created equal.

B. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure. We
are met on a great battle field of that war. We come to dedicate a portion of it, as a final resting place for those who died here, that the
nation might live. This we may, in all propriety do.

C. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate - we can not consecrate - we can not hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead,
who struggled here, have hallowed it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we
say here, while it can never forget what they did here.

D. It is rather for us, the living, we here be dedicated to the great task remaining before us - that, from these honored dead we take
increased devotion to that cause for which they here, gave the last full measure of devotion - that we here highly resolve these dead shall
not have died in vain; that the nation, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people,
shall not perish from the earth.

Read the passage from "Lather and Nothing Else."

And so, which will it be? Murderer or hero? My fate hangs on the edge of this razor blade. I can turn my wrist slightly, put a bit more pressure on the blade, let it sink in. The skin will yield like silk, like rubber, like the strop. There is nothing more tender than a man’s skin, and the blood is always there, ready to burst forth. A razor like this cannot fail. It is the best one I have.

Act 1, Scene 2. Pgs. 42-44

Oh, that this too, too sullied flesh would melt,
130
Thaw, and resolve itself into a dew,
Or that the Everlasting had not fixed
His canon 'gainst self-slaughter! O God, God!
How weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable
Seem to me all the uses of this world!
135
Fie on ’t, ah fie! 'Tis an unweeded garden
That grows to seed. Things rank and gross in nature
Possess it merely. That it should come to this.
But two months dead—nay, not so much, not two.
So excellent a king, that was to this
140
Hyperion to a satyr. So loving to my mother
That he might not beteem the winds of heaven
Visit her face too roughly.—Heaven and earth,
Must I remember? Why, she would hang on him
As if increase of appetite had grown
145
By what it fed on, and yet, within a month—
Let me not think on ’t. Frailty, thy name is woman!—
A little month, or ere those shoes were old
With which she followed my poor father’s body,
Like Niobe, all tears. Why she, even she—
150
O God, a beast that wants discourse of reason
Would have mourned longer!—married with my uncle,
My father’s brother, but no more like my father
Than I to Hercules. Within a month,
Ere yet the salt of most unrighteous tears
155
Had left the flushing in her gallèd eyes,
She married. O most wicked speed, to post
With such dexterity to incestuous sheets!
It is not nor it cannot come to good,
But break, my heart, for I must hold my tongue.

Read this excerpt from Anne Frank Remembered. In a fury, he flung my identification card at my head and approached me almost in a bent-over position, as though bent with rage. "Aren't you ashamed that you are helping Jewish garbage?" he snarled at me. He then began to curse me, shouting terrible words and saying that I was a traitor, that I would get a terrible punishment. He kept on cursing uncontrollably. I remained standing as tall as I could, not reacting at all to his words. The more he shouted, the more nervous he became. He began to pace from wall to wall. Suddenly, he spun on his heel and said, "What shall I do with you?" Why does Miep react in this way?

Write two to three sentences explaining one way that Ovid creates suspense in "Pyramus and Thisbe." Support your response with details from the poem. Ovid created suspense in "Pyramus and Thisbe" by dragging on Pyramus discovering the fate of his love which was all untrue. He did this by using many sentences that eluded to this discovery, causing Pyramus' death. Suspense is further carried on by Thisbe now having to discover her lover close to death, promising her own downfall in the name of love.
