Write a summary of this article.

1- In 1931, the American historian and writer James Truslow Adams wrote a book called "The Epic of America." Like many others, this book told the history of our nation. But unlike most history books, "The Epic of America" did not focus on events. Instead, it focused on average people. The book told the nation's history by emphasizing the ways in which the average American had changed.
2- Adams stated that the American dream is "that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone." In this dream, a person's talent and dedication would determine their opportunities. This American dream was not about material possessions or money. Instead, it was a dream of a society. In this society, each man and woman could reach the highest place that their levels of talent and dedication would allow. That person would be recognized by others for what they are. Where they were born or who their family was did not matter.
3- The authors of the United States’ Declaration of Independence believed that certain ideas were true. They believed that all men were created equal. They believed that all men were given certain rights that could not be taken away. These rights, according to the founding fathers, include the right to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Is the American dream based on this idea?
The dream keeps on changing
4- Consider the people of the 1850s who first settled the American West. They left the big cities of the east to find their piece of land in the unknown wilderness. Were these people following these Rights? What about the immigrants who came to the United States? Were they seeking their bit of life, liberty and the search for happiness, their dream? The soldier who returned home after World War II wished to settle down and to have a home, a car and a family. What does this desire tell us about how this dream has changed over time? Is the American dream attainable by all Americans?
5- What does the freedom to pursue a better life involve to most Americans? To many, it often involves a nice house, a car or two and a more comfortable life than their parents had. A countless number of "Rags to Riches" stories have been fueled by this idea. Presidents have started out in log cabins. Highly successful entrepreneurs have come to America as penniless immigrants. Bill Gates, a man who dropped out of college, became the richest man in the world.
6- Is hard work and dedication always rewarded? The American novelist Horatio Alger, Jr. wrote many stories about this idea in the 1800s. The young heroes of his books "pulled themselves up by their bootstraps" and proved America to be the land of opportunity.
7- Some say that the American dream has become the search for material wealth. Today, people work more hours to get bigger cars, fancier homes and what they view as better lives for their families. As a result, they have less time to enjoy this wealth. Others say that the American dream is beyond the grasp of the working poor. What is the American dream for someone who must work multiple jobs to support their family? Yet others focus less on making more money. They place more emphasis on living a simple, fulfilling life. That is the American dream to them.
8- The American novelist Thomas Wolfe said that every man, no matter where he was born, had certain rights. These included "…the right to live, to work, to be himself and to become whatever thing his manhood and his vision can ... make him."
Is this your American dream?

It was Friday, and as she walked home from school, Samara thought about what she would do that weekend. Everyone would be at the fund-raiser for new sports equipment at the high school on Saturday. As she was trying to remember if any good movies were coming out this weekend, she noticed a group of kids playing tag. Samara thought they looked comical running around in circles on a small plot of land between two houses. “Well, they certainly seem happy,” thought Samara as the light turned and she crossed the street.

On the opposite side of Cherry Street, Samara saw Mr. Peters sitting on a bench. He was reading his newspaper as the heavy traffic of the town’s main thoroughfare whizzed by him. She wondered how he could concentrate. Later, as she took the last turn onto her street, Samara saw her neighbor planting her annual vegetable garden. Every year, Mrs. Yang grew eggplant, cucumbers, and bok choy, because that’s all she had room for. “The garden looks good so far, Mrs. Yang,” Samara called.

“Thank you, dear,” Mrs. Yang said. “You know, if I had room, I would plant enough vegetables to feed the entire neighborhood! My mother had a garden that was one square acre when I was a little girl in Korea.”

As Samara nodded and waved goodbye, she started thinking about what she had seen on her walk home that day. She realized that Pine Grove did not have any open public spaces where everyone could go to relax and enjoy nature. The only unused space was a vacated plot on Cedar Avenue that was completely overgrown. Suddenly, Samara had a great idea. She decided to spend her summer campaigning for a new community park. The only problem was that she had no idea where to start.

That evening, she went to the library and learned about what she would need to do in order to get the idea in front of the town zoning board. It was all a little intimidating, but Wanda, the reference librarian, helped Samara break it down into manageable steps. When Samara mentioned the Cedar Avenue plot, Wanda’s eyes lit up. “That is a perfect spot,” Wanda said. “It’s right in the middle of town, and better yet, the town owns it.”

Samara spent many afternoons over the next few weeks at the library with Wanda and a few other librarians drawing up a detailed plan to present to town officials. Samara and the librarians even planned and priced out irrigation necessary for the area that was designated as a garden. When the day of the zoning board meeting arrived, Samara felt nervous, but Wanda and the other librarians were there for moral support. Samara thought she at least sounded confident as she presented her idea to the board. When she finished her presentation, she was ready to wait patiently for an answer; Wanda told her that this kind of decision might take weeks, so Samara was surprised when the board members asked her to stay while they deliberated. The president of the board explained that Samara’s presentation had been the last order of business for the day, and he wanted his board to be able to agree on one thing before they left. After about 15 minutes, Samara was informed that the community park had been approved.

Samara had been telling her neighbors and friends about the park from the moment she thought of it, and it seemed as though everyone wanted to be a part of making her vision a reality. As soon as her idea was approved, Samara called a meeting for anyone interested in collaborating. At the meeting, residents voted on what would be included on the land: a playset for young children and one for older children, a swing set, several park benches, and a dog run. It was also decided that there would be a cooperative organic vegetable garden and an herb garden at the north end of the park. Residents agreed that Mrs. Yang would manage the gardens.

At Wanda’s suggestion, Samara asked a representative from a nearby horticultural society to come and advise the group on the design of the park, the best native shrubs to plant, and where to put them. Samara also asked local businesses to sponsor the park by the square foot so that the community would be able to afford equipment and plants. Surprised by the response, Samara went to the bank to open an account where the surplus would be saved for next spring. In a few weeks’ time, the space had been cleared and residents were beginning to roll out sod and plant small vegetable plants and summer flowers. By midsummer, the community was able to enjoy the new, peaceful space. Samara was happy to have been part of creating not only a beautiful space, but a common area where residents could come together.

Read the passage from chapter 7 of Animal Farm.

As Clover looked down the hillside her eyes filled with tears. If she could have spoken her thoughts, it would have been to say that this was not what they had aimed at when they had set themselves years ago to work for the overthrow of the human race. These scenes of terror and slaughter were not what they had looked forward to on that night when old Major first stirred them to rebellion. If she herself had had any picture of the future, it had been of a society of animals set free from hunger and the whip, all equal, each working according to his capacity, the strong protecting the weak, as she had protected the lost brood of ducklings with her foreleg on the night of Major's speech. Instead—she did not know why—they had come to a time when no one dared speak his mind, when fierce, growling dogs roamed everywhere, and when you had to watch your comrades torn to pieces after confessing to shocking crimes. There was no thought of rebellion or disobedience in her mind. She knew that, even as things were, they were far better off than they had been in the days of Jones, and that before all else it was needful to prevent the return of the human beings. Whatever happened she would remain faithful, work hard, carry out the orders that were given to her, and accept the leadership of Napoleon. But still, it was not for this that she and all the other animals had hoped and toiled. It was not for this that they had built the windmill and faced the bullets of Jones's gun. Such were her thoughts, though she lacked the words to express them.

Which statement best describes the use of satire in this passage?

Parody is used to illustrate the impact of Stalin’s purge.
Ridicule is used to show the gullibility of the Russian citizens.
Reversal is used to show how Clover, representing the people, has changed ideals.
Personification is used to show the reader Stalin’s thoughts and feelings.

Read the Greek myth "Midas" retold by Thomas Bulfinch and answer the question. [1] Bacchus, on a certain occasion, found his old schoolmaster and foster-father, Silenus, missing. The old man had been drinking, and in that state wandered away, and was found by some peasants, who carried him to their king, Midas. Midas recognized him, and treated him hospitably, entertaining him for ten days and nights with an unceasing round of jollity. [2] On the eleventh day he brought Silenus back, and restored him in safety to his pupil. Whereupon Bacchus offered Midas his choice of a reward, whatever he might wish. He asked that whatever he might touch should be changed into gold. Bacchus consented, though sorry that he had not made a better choice. [3] Midas went his way, rejoicing in his new-acquired power, which he hastened to put to the test. He could scarce believe his eyes when he found a twig of an oak, which he plucked from the branch, become gold in his hand. He took up a stone; it changed to gold. He touched a sod; it did the same. He took up an apple from the tree; you would have thought he had robbed the garden of the Hesperides. His joy knew no bounds, and as soon as he got home, he ordered the servants to set a splendid repast on the table. Then he found to his dismay that whether he touched bread, it hardened in his hand; or put a morsel to his lip, it defied his teeth. He took a glass of wine, but it flowed down his throat like melted gold. [4] In consternation at the unprecedented affliction, he strove to divest himself of his power; he hated the gift he had lately coveted. But all in vain; starvation seemed to await him. He raised his arms, all shining with gold, in prayer to Bacchus, begging to be delivered from his glittering destruction. Bacchus, merciful deity, heard and consented. "Go," said he, "to River Pactolus, trace its fountain-head, there plunge yourself and body in, and wash away your fault and its punishment." He did so, and scarce had he touched the waters before the gold-creating power passed into them, and the river sands became changed into gold, as they remain to this day. Select a possible theme of the myth. Gold is a symbol of wealth and authority in many cultures. People who expect a reward for good deeds are selfish. Money does not bring as much happiness as friendship. Wishes are sometimes better when they don't come true.
