Pre-Ap Final Review

“As I looked about me I felt that the grass was the country, as the water is the sea. The red of the grass made all the great prairie the color of wine stains, or of certain seaweeds when they are first washed up. And there was so much motion in it; the whole country seemed somehow, to be running.”

The images in the second Paragraph are primarily...

• Light and Dark

“North of the house, inside the ploughed fire-breaks, grew a thick set of box-elder trees, low and bushy, their leaves already turning yellow. This hedge was nearly. This hedge was nearly a quarter of a mile long, but I had to look very hard to see it at all. The little trees were insignificant against the grass. It seemed as if the grass were about to run over them, and over the plum-patch behind the sod chicken-house.”

In the first paragraph, the description of the box-elders is significant because.

• They symbolism the insignificance of man’s existence

• The box-elders establish a rectangular boundary for the farm

• The box-elder trees emphasize the immensity of the prairie grass

• It shows the special relationship between the plum patch and the chicken-house

• The box elders will eventually provide shade to protect the farm from the buffalo.

Invitation to the Game by Monica Hughes

I truly expected them to be challenged by some gang boss, but they said that the only person who came by was a scrawny little rat of a girl living alone. We let her have one of the mattresses.

Alice's adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, John Tenniel

So she was considering, in her own mind whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.
