Read this excerpt from A Short Walk around the Pyramids and through the World of Art by Philip Isaacson.

If we knew more about the old customs of the Kota, our experience would be richer, but whatever its original meaning, the Kota funerary figure is still a powerful work of art. It can reach across a hundred years and a language we don't understand to touch our lives. We recognize the figure as a person, although it doesn't look like one. Instead of copying the human body— and many African tribes could do that perfectly—it only suggests the human body. It excites our imagination, and our imagination turns the Kota figure into a person. Its triangles, cylinders, and parts of circles remind us of eyes, a neck, and hair, and our imagination tells us that we are looking at a human figure. The figure is an example of abstract art, an art that doesn't intend things to look real. If we searched, we could find examples of abstract art the world over.

Isaacson's opinion is that Kota art is "powerful," even if we do not know much about the Kota people. Which evidence does he use to support this opinion?

Who is Philip Isaacson?

Attorney Philip M. Isaacson also served as the Maine Sunday Telegram's art critic. Round Buildings, Square Buildings, and Buildings That Wiggle Like a Fish, his award-winning introduction to architecture, was his debut book for young readers. 2013 saw Mr. Isaacson's passing.

The Isaacson House is located on the west side of Benson Street, north of downtown Lewiston and west of the Bates College campus. It is a square, one-story building with a flat roof that is set back from the street to the houses around it. The house is situated on a terraced hill and is approached by a central stone walkway.

Floating stone steps go up to the residence. Vertical siding completes the exterior, which also has white-trimmed floor-to-ceiling windows. A doorway-sized opening into a courtyard, which serves as a passageway between the inside and the outside, is located in the middle of the front facade.

D.

Answers

The rising action I think

The rising action is most likely part of which section of the play. Hence, option D is correct.

What is rising action?

Following the introduction of a story, sometimes known as the exposition, rising action is the second of six crucial plot elements. It typically consists of a chain of incidents that leave traces, raise issues, and create obstacles and conflicts that must be resolved.

The fundamental conflict of the narrative is introduced and develops during the rising action, and the protagonist starts to take action in an effort to end it. The stakes increase as the rising action intensifies until eventually, in the climax, the protagonist is forced to take responsibility for their actions.

The rising action in the tale of "Little Red Riding Hood," for instance, consists of everything that happens up until the moment Little Red arrives at Grandma's house.

Thus, option D is correct.

(MC)The Mystery of Loch Ness
By Kayden Mitchell

Of all the mysteries in the world, none has been as popular as that of the Loch Ness Monster. Perhaps the biggest mystery is whether it is convincing evidence or a simple desire to believe that keeps the myth alive.

Loch Ness is a lake in Scotland. The loch, or lake, is known for sightings of a mysterious monster. Most who see this monster, known as Nessie, describe something with a long neck and several humps above the water. Sometimes the "monster" is moving in these sightings, and sometimes it is still. Many have suggested that Nessie might be a plesiosaur (plea-see-a-soar), an aquatic dinosaur that was trapped in the loch after the last ice age.

The plesiosaur theory presents several problems. First, the plesiosaur is an air breather. Such a creature would need to surface often and, therefore, be seen more frequently. Second, it's unlikely that the same creature has lived in the loch since the last ice age. Today's creature would have to be the offspring of an original plesiosaur trapped long ago. This would suggest multiple creatures in the loch (needed to produce offspring). Again, sightings would be more frequent if this were the case.

So from a purely logical stand point, the existence of such a large and ancient creature is unlikely. But assume for a minute that it is possible. What would a plesiosaur need to live in an enclosed lake?

Tropical waters: Scientists believe plesiosaurs were warm-blooded. Like crocodiles and alligators, plesiosaurs would need to live in warm waters. The loch is very cold with temperatures averaging about 40 degrees Fahrenheit (4.4 Celsius).
Food: Like other warm-blooded creatures, plesiosaurs would need a large quantity of food. If there is a group of Nessies, then even more food would be needed. Because the loch is full of silt (underwater dust) not much light gets into the deepest areas. So the food chain, which would depend on plankton, is very weak at its base. As a result, there is probably not enough food to support such a large creature.
However, the plesiosaur theory is not the only one. Many other ideas attempt to explain the sightings and "photographs." But two separate sonar surveys of the loch have not found any evidence of a creature larger than a salmon. The last survey,1 completed in 2007 by the British Broadcasting Company (BBC), involved 600 different sonar beams. Using satellite navigation systems, the team made sure every inch of the loch was searched. The team found nothing.

With cell phones and digital cameras, one would think that sightings of Nessie would increase. This has not happened. The BBC team believes the legend of Nessie has endured because people see what they want to see. To prove this, the team used a fence post, raising it before groups of tourists. Afterwards several of the tourists asked to draw pictures of what they had seen drew pictures of a monster's head.

1"BBC 'proves' Nessie does not exist." 27 July, 2003.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/3096839.stm


Based on the text, what is the main result of scientists having studied the plesiosaur?
a.The people who claim to have seen Nessie can be proven to have been dishonest.
b..The sightings have decreased rapidly since the studies were released.
c. We can conclusively rule out the existence of modern plesiosaurs.
d.We know enough to rule out a plesiosaur as a likely Nessie creature.

My scary story
(its my first 1)

The Killer Clowns
Reader beware, you’re in for a scare
One dark and stormy night, a loud bang came from the garage. A 10 year old girl named Rosa went to see what it was. When Rosa opened the door the lights went out. She knew there was a flashlight near the door, but she couldn’t find it, and the breaker-box was on the other side of the house in the basement. Suddenly the lights started to flicker on and off. She heard footsteps coming down the hall. Rosa ran and hid is a closet across the hall, she whispered to herself “Please don’t come this way”. “Clump, Clump, Clump” She heard the footsteps getting closer, all of a sudden they stopped in front of the door and went back down the hall. Rosa let out a sigh of relief. Then she heard a clown car and thought “That’s odd, clown car’s don’t pass through this late” but realized there were killer clowns on the loose and the police couldn’t stop them, the clowns already killed the entire police force. She knew what she had to do. The kitchen was down the hall and it sounded like the intruder was upstairs in the attic. Rosa had found a bag and started towards the kitchen, she knew exactly where the kitchen knives were and grabbed some food and a large carving knife. She also grabbed her mother’s pistol and some ammo from the gun safe. She heard the front door rattling and knew to get to her room, because it was her and her puppy, Rose-Bud who was a pit bull, that night and it had no windows to get in through.
Rosa locked the room door and pushed the dresser and nightstand against the door to barricade the door. Rosa heard the honking of a rubber chicken, and she knew the clowns were here. Still instead of screaming she stayed silent, got the gun loaded and ready to fire then hid in her closet. She would be safe in there for the time being, suddenly she knew Chuckie had teamed up with the killer clowns. Who else would have the clowns teamed up with besides a haunted doll? Rosa heard a knife scraping against the wall, it was deafening. Rosa was still in her closet with Rose-Bud. “Bang, Bang, Bang” went the door, a clown had gotten in! The clown opened the closet door very slowly and got shot straight in the heart. The gunfire made chuckie and all the clowns run, but they are still out there.
Maybe they are coming for YOU next.

A Day on Mars
In the year 4791, two brave space explorers met on holodeck 2 of the starship “ Voyager”.

When Conner came to Holodeck 2 to look for Violet, he found a tropical rainforest. Hummingbirds were flying around heliconia stalks, Parrots were flying overhead, and macaw birds were singing in the treetops. It sounded like there was a waterfall nearby. It smelled like it had just rained, and there in the center of the room there was a large stone by a steady stream that Violet was meditating on. Violet suddenly saw Conner and said “ Computer, end program.” “Hey Violet,” said Conner “ we’ve got to go.” “”Where Conner?’ said Violet “ To mars silly,” said Conner “Conner,” Violet said, “ are you sure it’s safe on mars?” “ I’m positive Violet” said Conner “let us go tell the captain we are ready.” “Alright,” said Violet “Computer, teleport us to the Captain.”

Violet and Conner were instantly transported to the captains quarters. The captain looked surprised to see them at first but smiled when she saw it was Violet and Conner. “Hello Violet, Hello Conner,” said Captain Jane Picard “ I see you two must have made up your minds, what is your final answer?” “ We are going!” said Violet and Conner in unison. “Good” said Captain Picard “ Computer, Transport Violet and Conner to mars.” Suddenly there was a loud explosion, then Violet and Conner were on Mars.

Standing ever so elegantly in front of Violet and Conner was a palace made of blue and purple Martian crystals, with flags made of golden silk and embroidered with diamond thread that shined like the stars. Violet and Conner went inside the palace, and there were two thrones, one of pink Martian crystals with a white diamond heart engraved on it and one of blue Martian crystals with a red ruby sword engraved on it. “ what do those symbols mean Violet?” said Conner “They mean love and war.” said Violet “ weird” said Conner “why would thrones have the symbols of love and war.” “Who dares enter my palace?” a voice yelled, “who’s that?” said Conner “ who’s there?” said Violet. Then richly dressed male and female aliens came down the stairs. “I am king Gorg.” said the male alien “and I am Queen Kreeblim” said the female alien “ this is our son Prince Broxholm” said King Gorg “ he is looking for a young lady to marry. “hello” said Prince Broxholm, he looked at Violet “Who are you?” said Prince Broxholm “my name is Violet” said Violet “ it is a pleasure to meet you your majesties” said both Violet and Conner.

Then Prince Broxholm said to Violet “ You are the most beautiful lady I have seen; would you be my princess?” “ Yes!” said Violet “ I would love to!” “ then we must be married at once” said Prince Broxholm “What about me?” said Conner “ You shall be the wedding sacrifice.” said Prince Broxholm. “HooLan, take my bride to her chambers, and Fleef put the sacrifice in the dungeon. “No!, you can’t do this to me!” said Conner. “Conner!” yelled Violet

“ Violet, don’t worry” said Hoolan “there is a secret passageway in your chambers, I will show you, but you must use it with caution, we Martians are light sleepers.” “all right Hoolan” said Violet “ I will”. In the dungeon, Fleef was putting Conner in a cell when Fleef said “Conner there is a secret passage in this cell, though you must use it with caution, because we Martians are light sleepers and if the king and queen hear you they will kill both you and Violet.” “Oh no” said Conner “ I will keep that in mind.”

That night both Violet and Conner used the secret passageways and escaped the Martian castle. They managed to get back to the “voyager” without a problem. “ Conner.” Violet said. “Yes Violet?” Conner said, “ I have to tell you something” Violet said. “What is it Violet” Conner said. “ I don’t feel complete without you” said Violet “ I want to be with you forever, I love you.” “ I love you too Violet” said Conner.
