Reread the passage from Educated:

I am only seven, but I understand that it is this fact, more than any other,

that makes my family different: we don’t go to school.

Dad worries that the Government will force us to go but it can’t, because

it doesn’t know about us. Four of my parents’ seven children don’t have

birth certificates. We have no medical records because we were born at

home and have never seen a doctor or nurse. We have no school records

because we’ve never set foot in a classroom. When I am nine, I will be

issued a Delayed Certificate of Birth, but at this moment, according to the

state of Idaho and the federal government, I do not exist.

How does the author unfold a series of ideas or events and what connections does she make between them?

• By analyzing the impact of her lack of education and medical care

• By exploring the meaning of various vocabulary words

• By using inversion to emphasize certain words

• By simply listing the facts of her past, omitting any emotional language

Which sentence from William Shakespeare uses inversion?

• A dish fit for the Gods

• Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.

• The world is my oyster

• A plague o’ both your houses.
  They have made worms’ meat of me.
