(1) I don't know whether you have ever seen a map of a person's mind. (2)Doctors sometimes draw maps of other parts of you, and your own map can become intensely interesting, but catch them trying to draw a map of a child's mind, which is not only confused, but keeps going round all the time. (3) There are zigzag lines on it, just like your temperature on a card, and these are probably roads in the island, for the Neverland is always more or less an island, with astonishing splashes of color here and there, and coral reefs and rakish-looking craft in the offing, and savages and lonely lairs, and gnomes who are mostly tailors, and caves through which a river runs, and princes with six elder brothers, and a hut fast going to decay, and one very small old lady with a hooked nose. (4) It would be an easy map if that were all, but there is also first day at school, religion, fathers, the round pond, needle-work, murders, hangings, verbs that take the dative, chocolate pudding day, getting into braces, say ninety-nine, three-pence for pulling out your tooth yourself, and so on, and either these are part of the island or they are another map showing through, and it is all rather confusing, especially as nothing will stand still.

(5) Of course the Neverlands vary a good deal. John's, for instance, had a lagoon with flamingoes flying over it at which John was shooting, while Michael, who was very small, had a flamingo with lagoons flying over it. (6) John lived in a boat turned upside down on the sands, Michael in a wigwam, Wendy in a house of leaves deftly sewn together. (7) John had no friends, Michael had friends at night, Wendy had a pet wolf forsaken by its parents, but on the whole the Neverlands have a family resemblance, and if they stood still in a row you could say of them that they have each other's nose, and so forth. (8) On these magic shores children at play are for ever beaching their coracles [simple boat]. (9) We too have been there; we can still hear the sound of the surf, though we shall land no more.

(10) Of all delectable islands the Neverland is the snuggest and most compact, not large and sprawly, you know, with tedious distances between one adventure and another, but nicely crammed. (11) When you play at it by day with the chairs and table-cloth, it is not in the least alarming, but in the two minutes before you go to sleep it becomes very real. (12)That is why there are night-lights.

Read the excerpt from The Odyssey.

Now Zeus the lord of cloud roused in the north
a storm against the ships, and driving veils
of squall moved down like night on land and sea.
The bows went plunging at the gust; sails
cracked and lashed out strips in the big wind.
We saw death in that fury, dropped the yards,
unshipped the oars, and pulled for the nearest lee:
then two long days and nights we lay offshore
worn out and sick at heart, tasting our grief,
until a third Dawn came with ringlets shining.
Then we put up our masts, hauled sail, and rested,
letting the steersmen and the breeze take over.

Be a Responsible Pet Owner

Many people are unaware of the effect that spaying and neutering has on their pets. By talking to a veterinarian, a pet owner can make an informed decision that will make quite an impact on their pet's life.

Some people think that their pet will be healthier if they do not spay or neuter them. However, studies show that animals who are spayed and neutered avoid becoming sick with certain kinds of cancer, infection from breeding with strays, and physical stress of birthing while either too young or too old. Also, it has been shown that pets who are spayed and neutered can live 30% longer than those who have not.

Other people worry that spaying or neutering their pet will affect their personality. Male pets are affected, becoming friendlier and better behaved instead fighting other pets or spraying their territory. Female pets seem less affected, but also prove to be less territorial and better behaved. Vets have said that the personality of a pet is more affected by the care and attention they receive from their owner than a spay or neuter.

Spaying and neutering is so effective and healthy for pets that it should be a law that all pet owners must follow. Experienced breeders and veterinarians are well-informed, but the average pet owner is not. If pet owners were better informed or even forced by law to spay and neuter their pets, there wouldn't be as many homeless animals on the streets.

What does the word embraced in this sentence from Paragraph 5 explain about voters?

Voters feel empowered because they embraced the electoral process.

Voters feel an especially strong bond with other people who have voted.

Voters enjoy voting along with their loved ones because it makes them feel closer.

Accepting the voting process wholeheartedly makes voters feel better about themselves.


Some voters come to view voting not just as a duty fulfilled, but as a recreation.



A Right and a Responsibility

What does it mean to vote? If you are of age, voting is exercising your right to determine how and who will make laws and enforce those laws on your behalf. When you vote, you determine who has a say-so in the use of tax dollars you contribute to the general welfare of the citizens of your town, county, state, and nation. Voting is not only a right, it is also a responsibility. Voting is a powerful tool that people can use to the benefit or detriment of others.

The Constitution of the United States did not originally define who had the right to vote. That determination was left up to the states, and in the majority of states at that time, only white male property owners had the right to vote. Women, people of color, and white males who did not own property had no say-so in the election of government officials. Not all voting rules were the same throughout the states, however, so this made for an interesting electorate. For example, in New Jersey, a white woman could vote if she owned property, and in some northern states, free men of color could vote. Luckily, the framers of the Constitution had the foresight to build into it a means to rectify unjust situations by allowing for the addition of amendments, or additions, to the Constitution. Through amendments, women and free people of color were eventually guaranteed the right to vote.

If voting is such a powerful tool, why is there such appalling voter turnout in many elections? People think their vote doesn’t count or doesn’t matter. Long lines of voters at the polls before sunrise are typical only of “big” elections, such as the election of a senator or representative to serve in the federal government or the election of a president for the country. But it is the off-year elections, those smaller elections for local and state offices, that should matter most. For the vast majority of the population, the local elections are the ones that touch their everyday lives. It is in these elections that people decide who runs the local school boards, who makes the rules and regulations governing behavior and activities in their locality, and who will judge the population in the local courts. There also may be issues on the ballot that will affect their daily lives that have nothing to do with who the candidate is, but actions will be taken (or not) that will affect them. When a candidate is elected, he or she feels a mandate has been given by the electorate to fulfill promises made to get into office.

Who is voting? In some studies and polls, the most active voters are usually more educated and more involved with their communities. This electorate knows the issues and problems, and knows who can and cannot help make the communities better. They read more, listen to others’ opinions more, and make a decision based on the track record of the person running. They understand that voting is a learned activity, and they want to help those in their communities who do not understand the importance of voting to better understand the process. They get involved with the populace, teaching them the requirements for voting, such as finding the polling place, numbers to call for help, learning their voting options—such as early or electronic voting—and teaching them the impact voting will have on the issues that they are concerned about.

What are other benefits of voting? Some studies have shown that voting can have a psychological effect on the voter. Voters feel empowered because they embraced the electoral process. It gives the participant a sense of satisfaction, almost like saying, “I made my voice heard today. I voted.” Voting also benefits future generations when children see their parents and other responsible adults exercising their constitutional right to vote and be heard. Voting addresses the future needs of coming generations because the policies put into place by the elected officials will affect lives now and in the future.

Low voter turnout in a country that guarantees every eligible citizen over the age of eighteen the right to vote is unacceptable. Every election you are eligible to vote in commands your participation. Make your voice heard. Don’t hesitate. Vote!
