Passage 2: "Columbus"
Behind him lay the gray Azores,


Behind the Gates of Hercules;


Before him not the ghost of shores;


Before him only shoreless seas.


5 The good mate said: "Now must we pray,


For lo! the very stars are gone.


Brave Adm'r'l, speak; what shall I say?"


"Why, say, 'Sail on! sail on! and on!'" "My men grow mutinous day by day;


10 My men grow ghastly, wan and weak."


The stout mate thought of home; a spray


Of salt wave washed his swarthy cheek.


"What shall I say, brave Adm'r'l, say,


If we sight naught but seas at dawn?"


15 "Why, you shall say at break of day:


'Sail on! sail on! sail on! and on!'"


They sailed and sailed, as winds might blow,


Until at last the blanched mate said:


"Why, now not even God would know


20 Should I and all my men fall dead.


These very winds forget their way,


For God from these dread seas is gone.

Now speak, brave Adm'r'l, speak and say"-


He said: "Sail on! sail on! and on!"

25 They sailed. They sailed. Then spake the mate:


"This mad sea shows his teeth to-night.


He curls his lip, he lies in wait,


He lifts his teeth, as if to bite!


Brave Adm'r'l, say but one good word:


30 What shall we do when hope is gone?"


The words leapt like a leaping sword:


"Sail on! sail on! sail on! and on!"


Then, pale and worn, he kept his deck,


And peered through darkness. Ah, that night


35 Of all dark nights! And then a speck-

A light! A light! At last a light!


It grew, a starlit flag unfurled!


It grew to be Time's burst of dawn.


He gained a world; he gave that world


40 Its grandest lesson: "On!

I know that this seems like a handful but I really need the help. What is the organizational structure for "Achieving Your Goals." Essay below:

Achieving Your Goals

by Sunni Desai

When I was young, it seemed like everyone was always trying to tell me what I couldn’t do. “That piano piece is too hard for you to play.” “You’re too small to be a forward.” “You won’t understand those equations until you’re older. “ For a long time, I believed them. Now that I’m older, people still say those things, but since I’ve mastered those equations, played forward for two years, and am almost ready to play that piano piece, I know that sometimes you have to follow your dreams, and that you should never give up just because someone says that you can’t accomplish your goal.

First of all, if someone says your dream is impossible, they’re wrong. You can’t prove that something is impossible--all you know is that is hasn’t been done yet. People said no one could scale Mount Everest, but in 1953, Sir Edmund Hilary and Tenzing Norgay gazed down upon the world from its summit. People said that man could not fly, but in 1903, Orville and Wilbur Wright made the first sustained powered flight in a heavier-than-air machine. People said, “Okay, we admit that someone could climb Mount Everest, and we admit that man has learned to fly, but no one will ever, ever walk on the face of the moon.” If we can send three men a quarter of a million miles away and bring them home safely, is there any great task we cannot accomplish?

Secondly, whether you’ve taken one or a hundred steps towards your goal, you’ve done real and valuable work. Imagining a goal takes courage and creativity, and acting on it takes determination and hard work. Whether or not you ever reach your goal, you’ve stretched your imagination and tested your character. Those acts are worth a lot more than someone’s thoughtless or rude remark. A rude remark is like a piece of litter in a national park--the best thing to do is throw it in the garbage where it belongs.

Most importantly, this is your life, not someone else’s, and it’s your responsibility to live it. Some goals you might not achieve, and some dreams might always remain dreams. But when you look back on your life, wouldn’t you rather have succeeded or failed because of the choices you made, not because of some rude thing someone said? Or would you rather spend the rest of your life wondering what might have happened if you had soldiered on? Living is about the choices we make every moment; it’s our job to make choices that make those moments count.

Sometimes, though, the people who know and love us best try to discourage us from achieving our dreams or accomplishing our goals. Perhaps they don't want you to get hurt. Perhaps they don't understand how important your dream is to you. We trust and respect them, so it’s hard to act against their advice--and sometimes they might be right. But never give up on a goal or dream just because someone tells you it’s impossible. Give up on it because you think it’s the right thing to do, or stick with it because it’s your dream. The choice is yours. The moment is yours. The question is: what will you do with it?

Read the paragraph from “Home Place Retold.” Which best paraphrases this paragraph?

Grabbing a small object, such as an apple, may seem automatic and easy. But few people consider the complex biological mechanism underlying this simple act. Neurons in the brain instantly fire in patterns that send commands down the spinal cord. These commands are relayed to muscle tissue in the arm. The tissue contracts, raising the arm, extending an elbow, or flexing the wrist and fingers. For some people with spinal cord injuries, those commands are hindered by their damaged nervous systems. Their brains are no longer able to send messages throughout their bodies. For these people, these actions may require substantial effort or be completely impossible.

She's only filled with an old blind wish.
It isn't even hers but came to her
in the rain
or the soft wind,
which is a gate through which her life keeps
walking.

She can't see
herself apart from the rest of the world
or the world from what she must do
every spring.
Crawling up the high hill,
luminous under the sand that has packed
against her skin.
she doesn't dream
she knows
she is a part of the pond she lives in,
the tall trees are her children,
the birds that swim above her
are tied to her by an unbreakable string.
