Sitting in Sampson's car later that night, the three of them got to talking about their futures, as they found themselves doing many times.

"You know we're almost out of this prison they call high school," Rameck said jokingly.

"It's not so bad," George said. "Some of the teachers are too easy, and some just don't care, but it's basically cool with me."

"What you gonna do when you graduate now that you're not getting kicked out?" Sampson asked Rameck.

"Well, I know Mrs. Silly String would never believe it, but I'd really like to be a teacher," Rameck admitted.

"So kids not even born yet can do to you what we did to our teachers?" Sampson asked with a laugh.

Rameck sighed. "No, 'cause I know what it's like to be a kid who needs more but doesn't know how to ask for it. Only a few teachers know how to reach out to kids like me. I could do that."

"You're right, man," George said. "But I don't want to teach-I want to be a doctor or nurse or something medical."

"I don't even know what you have to do to become something like that," Sampson said honestly.

"I don't either," George said. "But I figure you need big piles of money and about a million years to spend in college."

Provide the name and description for each of the five social classes from The Canterbury Tales. List them in order from highest to lowest.

(1) In 1995, the American Academy of Pediatrics declared that "advertising directed at children is inherently deceptive
and exploits children under eight years of age." (2) The academy did not recommend a ban on such advertising
because it seemed impractical and would infringe upon advertisers' freedom of speech. (3) Today the health risks faced
by the nation's children far outweigh the needs of its mass marketers. (4) Congress should immediately ban all
advertisements aimed at children that promote foods high in fat and sugar. (5) Thirty years ago Congress banned
cigarette ads from radio and television as a public health measure-and those ads were directed at adults. (6) Smoking
has declined ever since. (7) A ban on advertising unhealthy foods to children would discourage eating habits that are
not only hard to break, but potentially life-threatening. (8) Moreover, such a ban would encourage the fast-food chains
to alter the recipes for their children's meals. (9) Greatly reducing the fat content of McDonald's Happy Meals, for
example, could have an immediate effect on the diet of the nation's kids. (10) Every month more than 90 percent of the
children in the United States eat at McDonald's.

young children.

They could probably reach Springfield by noon if they were so inclined, or perhaps they were heading to the country for a picnic. It did not seem to matter where people were going, as long as they were going fast.
