A Family Is Like A Circle
A family is like a circle.
The connection never ends,
and even if at times it breaks,
in time it always mends.
A family is like the stars.
Somehow they're always there.
Families are those who help,
who support and always care.
A family is like a book.
The ending's never clear,
but through the pages of the book,
their love is always near.
A family is many things.
With endless words that show
who they are and what they do
and how they teach you so you know.
But don't be weary if it's broken
or if through time it's been so worn.
Families are like that -
they're split up and always torn.
But even if this happens,
your family will always be.
They help define just who you are
and will be a part of you eternally.
What does the simile in the first stanza suggest about families?
They like to read.
They are always connected and will heal even if the connection breaks sometimes
They are big.
They are always there to support and care for you.

The Land of Beginning Again
1 I wish there were some wonderful place
2 Called the Land of Beginning Again,
3 Where all our mistakes and all our heartaches, and all our poor, selfish grieves1
4Could be dropped, like a shabby2 old coat, at the door,
5 And never put on again.
6 We would find the things we intended to do,
7 But forgot and remembered too late--
8 Little praises unspoken, little promises broken,
9And all of the thousand and one
10 Little duties neglected3 that might have perfected
11 The days of one less fortunate.
12 So I wish that there were some wonderful place
13 Called the Land of Beginning Again,
14 Where all our mistakes and all our heartaches,
15 And all our poor, selfish grieves
16 Could be dropped, like a ragged old coat, at the door,
17 And never put on again.

Two hands holding onto each other tight;

Onto a tender heart it drips;

Your heart, a child's hand may clutch,
Love is a song that stains the air,

Across the sky, like stars, it's strewn;
Love is a tree of abundant fruit,
Giving and serving with every new shoot;

To one another, now do you belong;
Love is a river that rages with passion,
Finding ways to calm pools no matter the fashion.

The Ant and the Grasshopper
It was a beautiful spring day. The grasshopper was flitting about, enjoying himself, when he crossed paths with an ant. The ant was working very hard, carrying bits of food deep down into his anthill. “Why are you working so hard?” The grasshopper said. “I want to have plenty to eat,” the ant replied. The grasshopper laughed. “Plenty to eat!” he cried. “Why there is food everywhere that you look!” “That’s true,” the ant said. “There is enough food for today. But there will come a day when it won’t be true.” The grasshopper hopped away, not wanting to bother with the morose little ant.
Soon spring gave way to summer, summer to fall, and fall to winter. When the fields were covered with snow, the ant sat far down in his anthill, safe and warm, his stomach full, confident that he had enough to eat to see him through the winter. The grasshopper, who had not made any preparations for winter, shivered, and went from one friend to another begging for food and feeling very foolish indeed.
Which statement expresses the main theme of the story?
There will always be ways to find plenty of food.
You can always count on your friends when you need them.
There is no food in the winter.
The importance of preparation and saving for a rainy day.
