I didn’t mean to kill her.

The air turned black all around me.

Icy fingers gripped my arm in the darkness.

Wandering through the graveyard it felt like something was watching me.

The eyes in the painting follow him down the corridor.

A shrill cry echoed in the mist

Icy wind slashed at his face and the rain danced its evil dance upon his head as he tried to get his bearings on the isolated beach.

Footsteps slowly creaked on every step of the stairs. The bedroom door handle turned slowly.

Death lurked in every door way with hell at one dark window. Inspired by A. Noyes 'The Highwayman'

My hair stood on end, a shiver raced down my spine and a lump came to my throat. It was him...

The gravestones stood silently, row upon row like soldiers long forgotten, a scream shattered the silence...

It was there and then it had gone, why would a rabbit be on my bathroom floor?

Bleary-eyed, I went downstairs for breakfast, the house was empty, even the furniture had gone...

The lights flickered and then went off, then the sirens started, it was coming, we knew it wouldn’t be the last time...

The date was 13th July, my 345th birthday... it would be my last...

Three of us.  We were the only ones left, the only ones to make it to the island.

Thanks to new digital formats, consumers are getting more music and paying less for it. Consumers are enjoying better ways to store, play, and share music. They are not willing to pay as much for it, however. In 2010, total music sales in the United States were $6.3 billion. This was down from $14.3 billion at its peak in 2000. Now, an online sales Web site is preparing to launch a new service. This service allows consumers to share, review, and listen to music. Consumers do not even have to store the songs on personal devices. Other companies are said to be working on similar services.

Question 5(Multiple Choice Worth 5 points)
(01.05 MC)

Read the two passages and answer the question.

Passage 1: "Midas" retold by Thomas Bulfinch

[1] Bacchus, on a certain occasion, found his old schoolmaster and foster-father, Silenus, missing. The old man had been drinking, and in that state wandered away, and was found by some peasants, who carried him to their king, Midas. Midas recognized him, and treated him hospitably, entertaining him for ten days and nights with an unceasing round of jollity.

[2] On the eleventh day he brought Silenus back, and restored him in safety to his pupil. Whereupon Bacchus offered Midas his choice of a reward, whatever he might wish. He asked that whatever he might touch should be changed into gold. Bacchus consented, though sorry that he had not made a better choice.

[3] Midas went his way, rejoicing in his new-acquired power, which he hastened to put to the test. He could scarce believe his eyes when he found a twig of an oak, which he plucked from the branch, become gold in his hand. He took up a stone; it changed to gold. He touched a sod; it did the same. He took up an apple from the tree; you would have thought he had robbed the garden of the Hesperides. His joy knew no bounds, and as soon as he got home, he ordered the servants to set a splendid repast on the table. Then he found to his dismay that whether he touched bread, it hardened in his hand; or put a morsel to his lip, it defied his teeth. He took a glass of wine, but it flowed down his throat like melted gold.

[4] In consternation at the unprecedented affliction, he strove to divest himself of his power; he hated the gift he had lately coveted. But all in vain; starvation seemed to await him. He raised his arms, all shining with gold, in prayer to Bacchus, begging to be delivered from his glittering destruction. Bacchus, merciful deity, heard and consented. "Go," said he, "to River Pactolus, trace its fountain-head, there plunge yourself and body in, and wash away your fault and its punishment." He did so, and scarce had he touched the waters before the gold-creating power passed into them, and the river sands became changed into gold, as they remain to this day.

Passage 2: "Bacchus's Regret" by Hunter Doyle

[1] King Midas returned my beloved teacher to me,
so I rewarded him with a wish—whatever he wanted would be.
Midas cried, "Give my fingers a golden touch!
Then, I shall have a gilded kingdom and such."

[5] I tried to make him see the err of his choice,
but he would not heed the caution in my voice.
I pleaded with Midas, "Be careful what you choose,
for you're only thinking of what you'll gain—not what you'll lose."

[9] His thirst for wealth became no match for his appetite;
after all, a gold apple is not something one can bite.
His daughter wept for her poor starving dad,
so he wiped her tears and told her not to be sad.

[13] Into a golden statue Midas's daughter became,
and he and his greedy wish were ultimately to blame.
Yet, maybe if I had put up more of a fight and a fret,
then I wouldn't have to live with all this regret.

Which line from "Bacchus's Regret" summarizes a theme in both passages?

"King Midas returned my beloved teacher to me, / so I rewarded him with a wish—whatever he wanted would be." (Lines 1–2)
"I pleaded with Midas, 'Be careful what you choose, / for you're only thinking of what you'll gain—not what you'll lose.'" (Lines 7–8)
"His daughter wept for her poor starving dad, so he wiped her tears and told her not to be sad." (Lines 11–12)
"Yet, maybe if I had put up more of a fight and a fret, / then I wouldn't have to live with all this regret." (Lines 15–16)

Read this excerpt from The Call of the Wild by Jack London.

Then where could they possibly be? With drooping tail and shivering body, very forlorn indeed, he aimlessly circled the tent. Suddenly the snow gave way beneath his fore legs and he sank down. Something wriggled under his feet. He sprang back, bristling and snarling, fearful of the unseen and unknown. But a friendly little yelp reassured him, and he went back to investigate. A whiff of warm air ascended to his nostrils, and there, curled up under the snow in a snug ball, lay Billee. . . .
