What score did the student receive for the extended constructed response? Curiosity is a driving force of life. Without it, where would we be? What would life be like had not countless inquisitive and adventurous minds not put themselves out there for all the world to see? Well, if we can agree on anything, it's that we certainly wouldn't be living the now we all know and love. And that's what's so peculiar about curiousity—it's frightening, really. But it is what motivated and influenced Carol in her pursuit of the truth; in her conquest of knowledge shrouded in mystery. Without curiosity, there would be no plot. In "Mr. Linden's Library" by Walter Dean Myers, Carol is a young girl and voracious reader. In the excerpt, it seems that she has been to Mr. Linden's library before, as demonstrated by the first few paragraphs of our sampled story. In the excerpt, Carol comes across a strange book. In fact, a book whose "ending of the story had changed." She would fret about it even into her sleep, as stated here, "...Carol's sleep was disturbed...dreamt of sitting in Mr. Linden's library...Then she awoke and lay...thinking of the book..." If anything, this shows that Carol's interest has been piqued. Now, some time has passed and the seasons are changing. Carol goes back the library. In paragraph 7, there is a line that states, "...Carol thought about asking him [Mr. Linden] directly about the book." Obviously enough, she is still hooked onto that book and its seemingly magical contents, which is why she has returned. After some dawdling, Carol gets back to the book. She rereads the section that she has suspected to change, and, "She was right; the story had changed. It was changing from day to day!" Carol's suspicions were confirmed. However, this only left her with more questions. You can leave that one to a curious child's nature. In conclusion, curiosity was once again the driving force of life in this enchanting little tale. Carol's curiosity paved the way for the story to progress, each event being tied to one another in order to discover the reality that surrounded the book on the window seat. Isn't curiosity such a wonderful thing? Suppose we can send our regards to Pandora for the lesson she taught.

What score did the student receive for the extended constructed response? Carol's imagination and beliefs definitely takes a big part in the story. Her dreams set the tone of the story that the excerpt will be very "fantasy dream' esque. Her curiousity of Mr. Linden's library mixed with her imagination sets the mood for a story that leaves you with questions. Carol was curious about the dream she had because it was of her in Mr. Linden's library. She enjoys the mystery of her dream so that's why she didn't mention it to her mother. When Carol was at Mr. Linden's house, she thought about asking Mr. Linden about the book that was in her dream. Carol decided she wanted to feed into her curiousity by looking at the book for herself. When she got into Mr. Linden's library, the book was in the exact same spot as it was in her dream. The book intrigued her because the story kept changing day to day. She held on to book and brought it to Mr. Linden. Carol's curiousity and imaginination make up most of the story, because Carol is focused on what she saw in her dream. I can assume Carol is a young child because younger kids are more curious and have more interest in the world around them. Carol's inquisitveness sets the tone of the story and influences events because she takes finding out answer beyond herself.
