Citing Evidence

Macey's mom noticed that she was squinting as she read her book, which was only a few inches away from her face. She scheduled a doctor's appointment for the next week, and when the doctor said Macey needed glasses, she tried on every single pair in the office. After spending an hour looking at glasses, mom suggested that perhaps she should sleep on it and come back and decide in the morning. Macey agreed, but she kept talking about the pros and cons of each pair all night long.

• Macey is mad at her mother.

• Macey does not want glasses.

• Macey is very excited about getting glasses.

• Macey has trouble making decisions.

It wad the sea eagle that called Emily down to the beach. It hovered about the waves, its broad wings dusty where the land had left its mark, its small eyes that could follow the horizon bright and keen.

She had not meant to come down onto the beach. She had mean to sit at the top of the ramp till the other kids had left the street, till she could walk home from school in peace without strangers staring at her, but somehow the bird seemed to urge her to come down.

Cite the textual evidence that best describes Emily's thoughts and feelings.

• "...till she could walk home from school in peace..."

• "...sea eagle that called Emily..."

• "...its broad wings dusty..."

• "...the bird seemed to urge her to come down."
