Betsy Ross made her living as a seamstress, and had many customers. She sewed many things, including clothes, blankets, and curtains. Each day, she would start with a pile of cloth and create things people paid her to make for them. Everyone knew she would do a wonderful job, so they came to her home and asked her to make many items for them. Business was so good, and as she began to get very busy, Betsy hired me to help. I am an experienced seamstress, so I can sew very well. On my first day, three men came to her home and asked if she could make a flag. I listened to them talk with great interest. One of them was named George Washington. I had heard of him, and now here he was right in front of me. He came to the store in May. I remember it very well because it was my birthday that day. Washington was leading the army, but the army did not currently have a flag. The army was fighting for freedom, but at the time no one knew if we would win.

Who are the two real people in this story?

 It’s not certain who first told it, but it teaches a lesson of importance. Badger always had a good day—he never complained and always turned a problem into an opportunity. He liked living on the high, dry plains where he had many ground squirrels and prairie dogs as his neighbors. He probably enjoyed their company much more than they did his. If anyone had asked them, they would have said that they wished Badger were somewhere else. He was always disturbing their tranquil community with his daily digging.

I was glad I had been to the freshman orientation. The high school was very big. The orientation helped me a lot. I knew where my classrooms were. I had met some of the teachers. And I had a new friend. I met another student who was interested in sports, like me, and we were both going to try out for the basketball team. I hope we can get on the team. Today was my first day, and it was hard. We have four minutes to go from one class to another. I knew where the classrooms were. But I had to go from one end of the building to another. I wanted to go to my locker and leave my book. So I did. But that took time. I was worried about being late. And I was. The Math teacher said, just be on time tomorrow. I allow one late arrival on the first day, but that’s it. I am serious. Only one late-to-class is allowed. After that you have to go to the office to get a pass, and I will mark you tardy. After you get 3 tardies you have to serve a detention.

It explains why all of us have one true love in the world. It’s a romantic idea but it’s also interesting because of the special time and place that it was originally told.You probably know that Athens is the capital of Greece. Its name comes from ancient times when it was dedicated to Athena – the goddess of wisdom. Her graceful temple, the Parthenon, still stands on a hill called the Acropolis, high above all the noise and pollution of the modern city. What is the genre of this passage?
