The Tree in the Wind
by Irene Mawer
The whisper of the wind is in my little leaves,
I hear the calling of the wind.
They dance, my little leaves, until my branches
stir.
5 The Wind-song rocks my branches, in a rhythm
slow and slumberous.
But my heart can feel the storm that breaks,
And thunders suddenly on high.
I am tossed, I am torn.
10 Hold me, oh, hold me, brave earth, and strongly.
Lest in mine agony I fall-
For, lo! an arm drops useless,
And I am very old.
But the wind sings in my gaunt branches,
15 Tearing the dead leaves away to sleep forever-
I am old, but yet I dance.
And the wind goes ever singing, singing, singing.
Which feeling does the tree in the poem express?
indignant
disturbed
helpless
useless

The Outsiders Excerpt
By S. E. Hinton
When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I had only two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home. I was wishing I looked like Paul Newman---he looks tough and I don't--- but I guess my own looks aren't so bad. I have light-brown, almost-red hair and greenish-gray eyes. I wish they were more gray, because I hate most guys that have green eyes, but I have to be content with what I have.My hair is longer than a lot of boys wear theirs,squared off in back and long at the front and sides, but I am a greaser and most of my neighborhood rarely bothers to get a haircut.Besides, I look better with long hair.
What is the main idea?
