Reread the paragraph below from “Revenge of the Geeks.”

That’s not to say, of course, that popularity in high school necessarily leads to mediocrity or worse in adulthood. But neither is there necessarily something wrong with a student merely because he is excluded by classmates. We don’t view a saxophonist as musically challenged if he can’t play the violin. He’s just a different kind of musician. A sprinter is still an athlete even if she can’t play basketball. She’s a different kind of athlete. Similarly, we might acknowledge that students who don’t follow the popular crowd’s lead aren’t any less socially successful; they’re just a different kind of social.

Animal Farm Chapter 9 Work (I have like some few hours)

In your notebook, explain the inferences and insights you can make that the characters can’t.


A. Meanwhile life was hard. The winter was as cold as the last one had been, and food was
even shorter. Once again all rations were reduced, except those of the pigs and dogs. A too
rigid equality in rations, Squealer explained, would have been contrary to the principles of
Animalism.

B. In April, Animal Farm was proclaimed a Republic, and it became necessary to elect a
President. There was only one candidate, Napoleon, who was elected unanimously. On
the same day it was given out that fresh documents had been discovered which revealed
further details about Snowball’s complicity with Jones. It now appeared that Snowball had
not, as the animals had previously imagined, merely attempted to lose the Battle of the
Cowshed by means of a stratagem, but had been openly fighting on Jones’ side.

Read this excerpt from The Call of the Wild.

The Yeehats were dancing about the wreckage of the spruce-bough lodge when they heard a fearful roaring and saw rushing upon them an animal the like of which they had never seen before. It was Buck, a live hurricane of fury, hurling himself upon them in a frenzy to destroy. He sprang at the foremost man (it was the chief of the Yeehats). . . . He did not pause to worry the victim, but ripped in passing, with the next bound tearing wide the throat of a second man. There was no withstanding him. He plunged about in their very midst, tearing, rending, destroying, in constant and terrific motion which defied the arrows they discharged at him. In fact, so inconceivably rapid were his movements, and so closely were the Indians tangled together, that they shot one another with the arrows; and one young hunter, hurling a spear at Buck in mid air, drove it through the chest of another hunter with such force that the point broke through the skin of the back and stood out beyond. Then a panic seized the Yeehats, and they fled in terror to the woods, proclaiming as they fled the advent of the Evil Spirit.

Which correctly describes the change in the Yeehats?

They are overwhelmed, and then they are cautious.
They are anxious, and then they are free.
They are ecstatic, and then they are disappointed.
They are festive, and then they are frantic.
