Do you think any of the color mutations in the beetles helped them survive in the environment? Explain your answer.

Answer: When changes happen in an environment. Many things can and will happen. If there was a gene mutation for the color of beetles, then that would affect their survival because the old color could have helped them hide and be camoflauge. (however you spell it) If that is changed it could make them more out in the open, so predators could get them easier. Which would result in less beetles and more predators.

Read this excerpt from The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass.

In the same book, I met with one of Sheridan's mighty speeches on and in behalf of Catholic emancipation. These were choice documents to me. I read them over and over again with unabated interest. They gave tongue to interesting thoughts of my own soul, which had frequently flashed through my mind, and died away for want of utterance.

Which statement best describes Douglass's viewpoint?

He disagrees with the religious beliefs expressed in Sheridan’s speeches.
He believes the best way to learn to read is through the study of speeches.
He understands the importance of memorization as a part of learning.
He enjoys finding words for his own thoughts on emancipation.

Based on The Shivering Tree, how would you describe the Trickster figure in Aboriginal mythology?

"Oh, Mr. Cuthbert," Anne whispered, "that place we came through—that white place—what was it?"
"Well now, you must mean the Avenue," said Matthew after a few moments' profound reflection. "It is a kind of pretty place."
"Pretty? Oh, PRETTY doesn't seem the right word to use. Nor beautiful, either. They don't go far enough. Oh, it was wonderful—wonderful. It just satisfies me here"—she put one hand over her heart—"it made a funny ache and yet it was a pleasant ache. Did you ever have an ache like that, Mr. Cuthbert?"
"Well now, I just can't recollect that I ever had."
"I have it lots of time—whenever I see anything royally beautiful. But they shouldn't call that lovely place the Avenue. There is no meaning in a name like that. They should call it—let me see—the White Way of Delight. Isn't that a nice imaginative name? 1. In three to four sentences, explain how using the negative connotation of a word instead of the positive can impact a sentence. 2.Would you consider this a pun: "But if you call me Anne, please call me Anne with an 'e'." If so, what kind of pun is this? Explain in 1-2 sentences what the deeper meaning of the pun is.

You have read several myths from early North American cultures. What feature do these myths have in common?
They are about powerful sky gods.
They encourage lying.
They feature animal characters.
They are based on science.

These are the storys
In the days when there were only animals on Earth, there was darkness everywhere―except in the tepee of an old chief. He owned all the light, fire, and water, which left everyone else in the world pretty miserable. The other animals pleaded with the old chief for light, but he would give them none. Therefore, they tried to get it by trickery.

All the animals put on their masks and their dancing aprons and went to the old chief's lodge for a dance. He did not invite them. They went. They were going to get light one way or another.

Each animal sang its own song. Fox kept singing, Khain, khain, khain, so the other animals decided to call him Khain, which means, "He cries for daylight."

The old chief steadily refused to share his light, yet the animals continued singing, each its own song in its own language. All of the songs meant Light, light, light, light!

The animals sang so loudly and so steadily that light began to steal up into the sky, like a faint dawn. The old chief saw it. At once he shouted, Let there not be . . . ! Let there not be . . !

Had the chief finished his sentence and said light, light would have come. Instead, the light disappeared at once below the edge of the sky.

The animals, though, kept on dancing and singing―they hoped to tire out the old chief. And again, light began to steal into the sky. This time the old chief saw what was happening. He became so upset and distracted that the noise of the singing confused him, and he shouted, Let there be―light!

Immediately the light came up into the sky, where it has been ever since―except at night, of course, when it belongs only to the chief.


An emu egg was hurled up to the sky and struck a great pile of wood which had been gathered by a cloud man named Ngoudenout. The egg hit the wood with such force that the pile instantly burst into flame, and it flooded the Earth with the soft, warm light of dawn.

The flowers were so surprised that they lifted their sleepy heads to the sky and opened their petals so wide that the glistening dewdrops which night had given them fell to the ground and were lost.

The little birds twittered excitedly on the trees, and the fairies, who kept the snow on the mountain tops, forgot their task and allowed the snow to thaw and run into the rivers and creeks. And what was the cause of this excitement?

Away to the east, far over the mountains, the purple shadows of night were turning grey; the soft, pink-tinted clouds floated slowly across the sky like red-breasted birds winging their way to a far land. Along the dim sky-line a path of golden fire marked the parting of the grey shadows, and down in the valley, the white mist was hiding the pale face of night.

Like a sleeper stirring softly at the warm touch of a kiss, all living things of the bush stirred at the caress of dawn. The Sun rose with golden splendor in a clear blue sky, and, with its coming, the first day dawned. At first the wood pile burned slowly, but the heat increased, until at noonday it was thoroughly ablaze. But gradually it burnt lower and lower, until at twilight only a heap of glowing embers remained. These embers slowly turned cold and grey. The purple shadows and white mists came from their hiding-places, and once again the mantle of night was over the land.

When Ngoudenout saw what a splendid thing the Sun was, he determined to give it to us forever. At night, when the fire of the Sun has burnt out, he goes to a dark forest in the sky and collects a great pile of wood. At dawn he lights it, and it burns feebly until noonday is reached, then it slowly burns away until twilight and night falls. Ngoudenout, the eternal wood gatherer, then makes his lonely way to the forest for the wood that will light the fire of the Sun for the next day.

Mr. Avery boarded across the street from Mrs. Henry Lafayette Dubose's house. Besides

Jem and I were leaving Miss Rachel's front steps one night when Dill stopped us: "Golly, looka
yonder." He pointed across the street. At first we saw nothing but a kudzu-covered front porch,
but a closer inspection revealed an arc of water descending from the leaves and splashing in the
yellow circle of the street light, some ten feet from source to earth, ensuing contest to determine
relative distances and respective prowess only made me feel left out again, as I was untalented in
this area.

There is 2 questions answer in complete sentences: 1. What is the central idea of: From Storytelling Book Introduction by Josepha Sherman? 2. Review the quoted words in paragraph 6. How do the words and ideas of the expert add to the author's points about storytelling? HMH.(learning tool for English.) 6th grade.

Story:
1. Once Upon a Time . . .
. . . there was a story. Story openings take many forms: “once there was,” “once there was not,” “once, in the long-ago days,” and many others. But no matter what shape the opening words take, the result is always the same—listeners are hooked.

2. Once a story has begun, there is something deep within the human psyche that must hear what will happen next. The pull of the story is universal. There is no known culture without some form of storytelling, and the craving to know “what comes next” has been felt by every human being, regardless of age, gender, culture, or century.

3. Storytelling is present in many aspects of human life. Stories are told by grandparents, parents, and other family members. Professional storytellers share their tales at fairs, festivals, schools, libraries, and other sites. Stories are integral to the mediums of television, film, opera, and theater, and storytelling sessions sometimes take place in the business world at special meetings. Campfire tales are meant to make campers shiver. And urban legends, contemporary folktales that usually are attributed to a “friend of a friend,” are told and retold. No matter how unlikely the tale may be, the teller invariably insists, “It’s true! ”

Why Tell Stories?
4. The real question may be how can one not tell stories. Every conversation is rife with information-packed stories of what the teller has been doing recently. People share stories they have heard from others, retell stories they have read, and even rehash things they have seen on television. Anyone who chooses to formalize this sharing takes on the role of the “storyteller.”

5. The most wonderful gift of a story is the bonding of a group. Held close under the spell of a story, the group breathes as one. The shared experience softens the edges between individuals and brings everyone closer in the warmth of the moment. Together, the members of the group enter a “story trance.” Storytellers benefit, in turn, as they experience the heartwarming feeling of holding the audience’s attention and nurturing the group by sharing a beloved tale.

6. Many stories also serve the community in a broader sense. All societies use stories to pass on group values. Wrapped in the sweet pill of an entertaining story, a moral goes down easily. Stories also can be useful tools that allow individuals to chastise or expose negative behaviors without overtly speaking the truth. The Liberian storyteller Won-Ldy Paye related how Anansi spider stories have been used to “say without saying” in front of a chief. If the chief has behaved greedily, the storyteller shows Anansi in this incorrect behavior. Everyone knows whom the storyteller is talking about. The chief hears, and he knows, too.

7. Many families draw “catchphrases” from their favorite stories, with which they can quickly refer to a story in the course of their daily lives. A phrase, such as “It doesn’t take long to look at a horseshoe,” can bring family members back to the original story, as well as remind them of the moral of the tale.

8. Communities and families also may wrap their history in stories to remember details of events long past. A moment in time can be preserved by creating a story and telling it a few times. The story format bundles the facts into a neatly tied packet that is more readily stored and retrieved than many separate details.

9. Stories also help to broaden awareness of other cultures. The folktale genre, in particular, reflects many traditions and helps to familiarize people with world cultures.

10. Stories also can be used for educational purposes. Stories can help to develop a child’s literary sensibilities, and listening to tales impresses a sense of story structure into a child’s mind. Stories aid in stretching vocabulary and children who can tell stories often gain the advanced verbal ability and an increased sense of self-worth.

11. Storytelling provides other growth opportunities, as stories help listeners to see through another’s eyes and to share the protagonist’s feelings of anger, fear, or love—all from a safe place. The Austrian-born American writer and child psychologist Bruno Bettelheim explained that stories are important to children because battling difficulties through a story can help them face real-life troubles. Stories provide role models who show us how to face demons and overcome adversity.

12. Perhaps best of all, stories stretch the imagination. The teller takes the listener to distant places where remarkable things happen. And once stretched, an imagination stays stretched.
