Imagine that you are attending the Barnard College Graduation Ceremony as a guest of a graduate. You are a member of the audience (not a graduate) as Toni Morrison delivers this speech. Write a fictionalized story in which you describe the experience and setting in detail as well as your own point of view and reactions as you witness the speech. Remember, Morrison may be speaking to women specifically, but there are lessons that men should take away as well. Use information and details from the speech in your answer.

I am seated in one of the last rows of chairs reserved for the audience who will attend the Barnard College Graduation Ceremony. The climate is pleasant and that is why everyone wears comfortable clothes, but consistent with the occasion. We didn't see a cloud in the sky and the environment has a fresh wind, totally balancing the feeling of warmth coming from the sun.

The chairs are white, plastic, but big enough to accommodate my body.

A few minutes after my arrival, the ceremony began, soon the graduates entered and settled in the place reserved for them and in a few minutes we can hear Toni Morrison's speech.

The speech was very emotional and highlighted the challenges and advantages of our professionals who were being trained that day. An important point of the speech, impressed me, when Morrison pointed out the importance of this new generation of professionals looking for equality and gender in their workplaces, since the women present there and those who still entered the job market, struggled to get their diplomas and have a good academic life and for that reason they deserve to be respected and have their rights guaranteed, as well as their wishes, capacity and autonomy respected.

Does anyone have any good quotes that relate to sacrifice and relationships. ​

Gary squinted down both sides of the hallway, looking for any signs of the hall monitor on patrol. Everyone was already in class after the sound of the second bell. There was no sign of anyone. Gary smirked. He hadn't been caught skipping school in the past four months. For many teachers at Glendale, Gary was the embodiment of all that was wrong with the student body, and Gary definitely enjoyed being the source of anxiety for his teachers. He would always make an appearance during advisory period and then he would disappear for the rest of the day.
Glad I'm not like those chumps in class, Gary happily thought as he ambled down the hallway. He was almost near the exit when he heard a loud conversation in the boys' bathroom. Normally, Gary would ignore it and be thankful for the distraction, but he heard something that was different. He heard fear in one of the voices.
"Please, please let me go," the voice pleaded shakily.
"You knew that this was going to happen. And I can't let you go because I have principles," a deep voice replied.
"I promise I won't do it again. Please just let me go," the fearful voice said.
Then, there was a loud thump. Gary stood there dumbfounded. For once in his life, he, Gary Paulsen, didn't know what to do. Then, there was a loud thump again. Gary had to act fast. He stormed into the bathroom and instantly saw what the situation was. Mike, the school bully, was enforcing his dominance like always. However, this time he was bullying Ivan, a cool kid in Gary's advisory period. Ivan let Gary borrow pencils whenever Gary bothered to show up. Gary moved toward Mike.
"Whoa, there, Gary. I wasn't doing anything wrong," Mike said quickly.
"Well, if there isn't a problem here, then Ivan, you're free to go," Gary said as he gestured for Ivan to leave.
Ivan looked back at Gary gratefully and ran out of the bathroom. Mike also backed out slowly as Gary stared harshly at him. Gary shrugged his shoulders, walked out, and bumped into Principal Skinner.

Based on your own experiences and observations, which two phrases should be considered when predicting what Paul will do?
Unexpected Visitor
by T. Herlinger
Clad in a t-shirt and trousers, Paul was already sweating profusely by 11 a.m., wheeling a metal rack of sults through the sea of pedestrians.
Pushing racks of clothes around New York City's garment district wasn't exactly a dream job, but Paul wasn't complaining. He had worked in his
father's restaurant every summer since he was elght years old, and now finally, at 15, he had landed a real job. On most mornings, he let the
throngs of people become a blur around him as he steered the heavy rack of swinging suits down the sidewalk, careful not to run over any toes.
But today, he happened to glance up and spy a familiar face. There at the street corner stood Paul's father, looking oddly small and frail amld
the rushing people.
Paul cringed with embarrassment as he approached his father, who was standing in his gray business suit, baking in the August heat. He eyed
his dad suspiciously, wishing he were an apparition. Myriad feelings were welling, but mostly Paul felt exasperated and furious his dad was
trespassing on his territory. Maybe he meant to convince Paul to come back and work in the restaurant, but there was no way he was going to
give up his newfound independence. Then Paul had a frightening thought-maybe there was an emergency at homel "What's going on?" he
demanded without saying hello. "Is Mom in the hospital? Is the restaurant okay?"
"No, everything's perfect-your mom's fine, the restaurant's fine," Paul's father assured him. "I just wanted to witness my son in action," he
declared proudly, his eyes beaming. "You're a real working man with a legitimate profession, so I thought I'd treat you to an expensive lunch.
Maybe a Reuben sandwich or some pastraml? Or something more extravagant!"
"I can't, Dad" Paul answered automatically, "I mean, my lunch break isn't until noon, and that's over an hour from now."
"That doesn't matter," his father responded easily, shrugging his shoulders, "Till just read my paper at that delicatessen across the street." He
gestured at a red awning with a sign advertising a lunch special. "Come meet me there when you're ready!" With that, he reached up and ruffled
Paul's hair, grinned at him, and started off across the street. Paul quickly turned away, wracked with embarrassment and guilt. He ducked his
head, hiding from the New York crowd of pedestrians, and wheeled the rack of clothes down the sidewalk in the other direction.

A but Paul wasn't complaining

B he eyed his dad suspiciously

C Then Paul had a frightening thought

D wracked with embarrassment and guilt

E hiding from the New York crowd of pedestrians
