Identify main idea of each paragraph of Gilrays Flower Pot
I charge Gilray's unreasonableness to his ignoble1
passion for cigarettes; and the story of his flower-pot
has therefore an obvious moral. The want of dignity he
displayed about that flower-pot, on his return to
London, would have made any one sorry for him. I had
my own work to look after, and really could not be
tending his chrysanthemum2 all day. After he came
back, however, there was no reasoning with him, and I
admit that I never did water his plant, though always
intending to do so.

The great mistake was in not leaving the flower-pot in
charge of William John. No doubt I readily promised to
attend to it, but Gilray deceived me by speaking as if
the watering of a plant was the merest pastime. He had
to leave London for a short provincial tour, and, as I
see now, took advantage of my good nature.

As Gilray had owned his flower-pot for several
months, during which time (I take him at his word) he
had watered it daily, he must have known he was
misleading me. He said that you got into the way of
watering a flower-pot regularly just as you wind up
your watch. That certainly is not the case. I always
wind up my watch, and I never watered the flower-pot.
Of course, if I had been living in Gilray's rooms with
the thing always before my eyes I might have done so.
I proposed to take it into my chambers at the time, but
he would not hear of that. Why? How Gilray came by
this chrysanthemum I do not inquire; but whether, in
the circumstances, he should not have made a clean
breast of it to me is another matter. Undoubtedly it was
an unusual thing to put a man to the trouble of watering
a chrysanthemum daily without giving him its history.
My own belief has always been that he got it in
exchange for a pair of boots and his old dressing-gown.
He hints that it was a present; but, as one who knows
him well, I may say that he is the last person a lady
would be likely to give a chrysanthemum to. Besides, if
he was so proud of the plant he should have stayed at
home and watered it himself.

He says that I never meant to water it, which is not
only a mistake, but unkind. My plan was to run
downstairs immediately after dinner every evening and
give it a thorough watering. One thing or another,
however, came in the way. I often remembered about
the chrysanthemum while I was in the office; but even
Gilray could hardly have expected me to ask leave of
absence merely to run home and water his plant. You
must draw the line somewhere, even in a government
office.

Answer:

displayed about that flower-pot, on his return to

London, would have made any one sorry for him. I had

my own work to look after, and really could not be

tending his chrysanthemum2 all day.

Publishing Doctor Zhivago
Boris Pasternak's 1956 novel Doctor Zhivago tells the story of a Russian doctor living at the time of the 1917 Russian Revolution, which led to the establishment of the Soviet Union. Because the book dealt with hardships people faced after the revolution, publishers in the Soviet Union refused to release it, calling it anti-Soviet. Pasternak's solution was to have the book smuggled out of the Soviet Union and published in Europe. Though Soviet authorities tried to prevent it, the book was published in Italy in 1957 and was immediately well-received. In 1958, it was translated into English and went on to become one of the most popular novels of the 1950s.

What is the main idea of the passage?

Boris Pasternak couldn't get his book Doctor Zhivago published in the Soviet Union, so he had the book smuggled out of the country.
Doctor Zhivago showed the problems that Russians faced following the Russian Revolution, so it was considered anti- Soviet.

AC vs. DC
In the 1880s, the War of the Currents began. Thomas Edison developed direct current, or DC, a type of electricity that flows in one direction. By 1887, DC was in use around the United States. It had some drawbacks, though. Converting it to lower or higher voltages was difficult; that is, the current's force couldn't be changed easily. Transmitted at the low voltage needed for use in homes and businesses, it lost power after traveling only a mile. Meanwhile, Nikola Tesla was working with alternating current, or AC. AC reverses direction many times per second and can be changed to different voltages. At high voltage, it can be transmitted efficiently, traveling hundreds of miles with little energy loss. Because of its advantages, AC triumphed by the end of the nineteenth century.

What is the main idea of the passage?

AC has distinct advantages over DC, so AC won the War of the Currents.

AC reverses direction and can be converted to lower or higher voltage.

In this activity, you will analyze theme, characterization, and Dickens’s use of dramatic irony in chapter 1 of A Christmas Carol.

Part A
Themes are key ideas that stand out or are repeated in a text. Identify and explain one important theme that you noticed in chapter 1. Include evidence from the text to support your response.

Part B
What do the following lines reveal about Ebenezer Scrooge’s character?

“Under the impression that they scarcely furnish Christian cheer of mind or body to the multitude,” returned the gentleman, “a few of us are endeavouring to raise a fund to buy the Poor some meat and drink, and means of warmth. We choose this time, because it is a time, of all others, when Want is keenly felt, and Abundance rejoices. What shall I put you down for?”

“Nothing!” Scrooge replied.

“You wish to be anonymous?”

“I wish to be left alone,” said Scrooge. “Since you ask me what I wish, gentlemen, that is my answer. I don’t make merry myself at Christmas and I can’t afford to make idle people merry. I help to support the establishments I have mentioned—they cost enough; and those who are badly off must go there.”

“Many can’t go there; and many would rather die.”

“If they would rather die,” said Scrooge, “they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population.”


Part C
Writers create dramatic irony by telling the reader about an important event in the plot that the characters aren’t aware of. This technique helps writers create effects such as suspense and humor. Identify one example of dramatic irony from chapter 1 of A Christmas Carol and explain why it fits the description of this technique.

Read the following passage from Bulfinch’s Mythology: In cultured garden, free uncultured flows, The flavor sweeter and the hue more fair Than e'er was fostered by the hand of care.
