Which two lines best reflect how the setting influences Inge’s daily life?
The wall was just a few feet from the home Inge shared with her parents. Aside from her school and other crumbling buildings in their neighborhood, their world was a few rooms in a dull, gray concrete flat with no yard and no trees. The wall was part of the view from the only windows they had, and Inge was drawn to the sounds she often heard from the other side—laughter, shouting, music, and the noise of busy traffic.

One day, as she explored the wall imagining what the sounds meant, she came upon a hole. Her heart thumped wildly as she leaned toward it. Through the hole, Inge caught a glimpse of a whole new world. It was a world of color—reds, blues, and yellows in the dresses of women strolling down the street, the colors of the shirts and ties the men wore, the colors of the ribbons in the little girls' braids. It was a world of people who did not begin and end each day in shades of gray. It was alive and brimming with activity, with living. Inge leaned, transfixed by the view, for hours until she began to feel the strain in her back and leg muscles. Then, pulling herself away, she headed home, knowing she would return again and again.

One fall day in 1990, as Inge headed for her favorite spot in the wall, she noticed that the towers from which the guards viewed her neighborhood were empty. And she noticed something else: she was not alone. Others, mostly young men with a mix of other people, some of whom she recognized were at already at the wall or moving toward it.

Read the excerpt from "Homesick Blues."

Do you want to know what turned out to be the last straw for me? I was walking down to the corner delicatessen one day, and a man asked me for two dollars. He said he needed it for bus fare to get to the hospital to visit his mother who was dying. I told him I didn't have any cash, although I was holding $12.00 in my back pocket. The truth was that I didn’t believe him. I thought he was lying to me because I'd heard so many lies here and because this same man had told me the same story before, and if his mother has been dying that long she should be in a medical journal, and because I am tired of it.


Later, after I got back to the apartment, I thought about the man and about me. The poor guy was worse off than me and all he wanted was two lousy dollars. When had I become so jaded, so suspicious, so calloused? I don't like that part of me, and I don’t like the city that has brought it out for me to see.

Read the excerpt from Julius Caesar and answer the question that follows.

Brutus
It must be by his death, and for my part
I know no personal cause to spurn at him
But for the general. He would be crowned.
How that might change his nature, there's the question.
It is the bright day that brings forth the adder
And that craves wary walking. Crown him that,
And then I grant we put a sting in him
That at his will he may do danger with.
Th' abuse of greatness is when it disjoins
Remorse from power. And, to speak truth of Caesar,
I have not known when his affections swayed
More than his reason. But 'tis a common proof
That lowliness is young ambition's ladder,
Whereto the climber upward turns his face.
But when he once attains the upmost round,
He then unto the ladder turns his back,
Looks in the clouds, scorning the base degrees
By which he did ascend. So Caesar may.
Then, lest he may, prevent. And since the quarrel
Will bear no color for the thing he is,
Fashion it thus: that what he is, augmented,
Would run to these and these extremities.
And therefore think him as a serpent's egg—
Which, hatched, would as his kind grow mischievous—
And kill him in the shell.

Which of these lines from the play indicates that Brutus fears giving Caesar power will make him dangerous? (5 points)

For example, you could choose a topic about postmodern literature or Beat poetry, such as these examples: • Motif became one of the most important elements of postmodern narratives, such as in John Updike's "The Brown Chest." • Beat poetry emerged from the need to amend social injustices in society. You can select any topic.connected to the unit. Make sure to pick a topic that you find interesting and wish to learn more about. Choose a position on the topic. Your presentation should persuade your audience about your viewpoint. As you select your topic, consider two important aspects of any public speaking opportunity: purpose and audience. Make sure you have a firm understanding of why and to whom you will be presenting. This information will help determine your topic and the tone of your speech.
