Poetry
Mr. Miller liked to jump
From high up in the sky;
He never for a moment thought
That he could ever die.
He trusted in his parachute
But when he pulled the string,
He found his wife had moved the chute
And filled it up with things
That might have been a help to him
In any other place;
But nothing that might keep him now
From landing on his face.
So Mr. Miller closed his eyes,
And said, “Thy will be done”;
And suddenly jumping out of things
Just wasn’t that much fun.
It might have been the end of him.
Had not a hawk flew by
And plucked him with her razor claws
Right out of the blue sky.
She took him to her nest up high
And dropped him in the twigs
And Mr. Miller to this day
Can be found in these digs
Questions:
1. What does Mr. Miller think can’t happen to him?
2. What happens when Mr. Miller pulls the string on his
parachute?
3. Why is jumping out of things suddenly not that much fun?
4. How is Mr. Miller saved?
5. Look up the word “digs”. What does it mean in the context of
this poem?
Answer:
he thought he couldn't die
his parachute didn't work
because the parachute didn't work and he was going to Land on his face

According to Holling, why is being a Presbyterian now a disaster? *
Answer:
Holling Hoodhood has to spend his Wednesday afternoons with Mrs. Baker, because he is not allowed to go to where the other students in his school have to go. Holling attends a school that is a mixture of Catholic and Jewish students. Holling is neither. On Wednesdays, the Jewish students go to Hebrew school and the Catholic students go to catechism.
"So being a Presbyterian was now a disaster. Especially on Wednesday afternoons when, at 1:45 sharp, half of my class went to Hebrew School at Temple Beth-El, and, at 1:55, the other half went to Catechism at Saint Adelbert's. This left behind just the Presbyterians. Of which there had been three, and now there was one.
Me."
Because Holling can't go with the Catholic students or the Jewish students, he has to spend the rest of the afternoon with Mrs. Baker. Holling and Mrs. Baker are not happy with the arrangement. For the first month or so Mrs. Baker makes Holling do menial tasks such as cleaning chalk erasers. Eventually she decides to teach Holling Shakespeare, and that begins a strong and long lasting bond between the two of them.

1. What does the narrator, Squeaky, value as her two greatest traits (qualities)? Provide at least one quote as support.
Answer and Explanation:
Squeaky is the narrator in the short story "Raymond's Run", by Toni Cade Bambara. She is a confident young girl whose older brother, Raymond, is special.
Right in the beginning of the story, Squeaky reveals two traits she possesses of which she is proud of. First, she values her assertiveness in protecting Raymond from bullies:
"But now, if anybody has anything to say to Raymond, anything about his big head, they have to come by me. And I don't play the dozens or believe in standing around with somebody in my face doing a lot of talking."
Squeaky also values her athletic abilities. She is proud of being a fast runner, and quite a diligent one too:
"There is no track meet that I don't win the first place medal. [...] The big kids call me Mercury 'cause I'm the swiftest thing in the neighborhood."

Answer: D.The reader and the man from the West learn that the friend he has been waitingfor, Jimmy Wells, is actually the police officer and has turned him in for crimes he committed in Chicago.
Explanation:
The option that best summarizes the irony in the story is option D "The reader and the man from the West learn that the friend he has been waiting for, Jimmy Wells, is actually the police officer and has turned him in for crimes he committed in Chicago".
From the story, Jimmy Wells and Bob were friends and lived in New York City before their paths diverged. Jimmy stayed in New York while Bib moved to
the West but they promised that they'll meet twenty years later at a particular restaurant.
After twenty years, Bob waited at the restaurant. The irony was that a policeman then passed who asked Bob what he was doing and he explained to him but Bob didn't know that the policeman was his friend who he was waiting for which is Jimmy Wells.
Later, a plainclothed officer arrived who Bob thought was Jimmy Wells but wasn't him and he later realised that the first officer was indeed Jimmy Wells.

In this letter, we are asking for information from a person that we do not know, so we have to use formal language and be polite when we ask for things.
The first paragraph is an introduction to the topic. The second and third paragraphs are about the information that we need. We have to write any inquires and doubts that we have in this section. Lastly, we make a closing paragraph thanking the person and saying our goodbyes.
