I NEED HELP QUICK I FORGOT WHEN IT WAS DUE AND ITS DUE TODAY



FROGS AND TADPOLESIt is very interesting in the spring to watch the gradual development of a frog from the egg, through the tadpole stage of its existence, till at last it assumes its final form. The old frogs emerge from their winter hiding-places in the mud, early in the spring, and during April their eggs may be found floating on almost every stagnant pond. A group of these eggs in their early stages of development looks like a mass of clear white jelly, containing numbers of black specks, each of which is really the germ of the future tadpole. In order to watch the development, a group of the eggs should be taken and put in a shallow vessel of water, which, if kept in the house, should have a bell-glass, or some other covering, over it, to keep out the dust. The jelly-like mass which envelopes the future tadpole is so clear that all its changes can be easily watched. First the head appears, then a flat tail, and in course of time the nostrils, mouth and large eyes, till at length the completed tadpole bursts open its gelatinous covering, and apparently not in the least embarrassed by its new surroundings, begins swimming briskly about, looking for something to eat. The time occupied in hatching varies in different countries, according to the climate, from four days to a month. The following stages are even more interesting, especially for those who can take advantage of the transparency of the parts to watch the circulation of the blood through a microscope. The body of the tadpole gradually gets broader, while the tail gets thinner and thinner, till it finally disappears altogether. However, before that happens, its place has been taken by two hind legs, which first appear under the skin and then gradually push their way through. The fore legs next appear, and so on through all the stages of development, till in a longer or shorter time, according to the amount of warmth, light and food it can obtain, the complete frog appears. But woe betide the unfortunate tadpole which, first of the shoal, attains to the dignity of possessing limbs, for so ferocious are the later ones, and so jealous of their precocious little brother, that they almost always fall upon him, and not content with killing, never rest till every morsel of him is eaten. And unless several of the tadpoles assume their final change about the same time, this proceeding is repeated till their numbers are very considerably diminished, or, as sometimes happens, till only one survivor is left, who, having helped to eat all his brethren, is allowed to live on in peace. Of course, this is only till some day, in the course of his walks abroad, he, in his turn, is snapped up as a delicate morsel by some hungry snake or water-fowl.

Caline

by Kate Chopin

The sun was just far enough in the west to send inviting shadows. In the center of a small field, and in the shade of a haystack which was there, a girl lay sleeping. She had slept long and soundly, when something awoke her as suddenly as if it had been a blow. She opened her eyes and stared a moment up in the cloudless sky. She yawned and stretched her long brown legs and arms, lazily. Then she arose, never minding the bits of straw that clung to her black hair, to her red bodice, and the blue cotonade skirt that did not reach her ankles.

The log cabin in which she dwelt with her parents was just outside the enclosure in which she had been sleeping. Beyond was a small clearing that did duty as a cotton field. All else was dense wood, except the long stretch that curved round the brow of the hill, and in which glittered the steel rails of the Texas and Pacific road.

When Caline emerged from the shadow she saw a long train of passenger coaches standing in view, where they must have stopped abruptly. It was that sudden stopping which had awakened her; for such a thing had not happened before within her recollection, and she looked stupid, at first, with astonishment. There seemed to be something wrong with the engine; and some of the passengers who dismounted went forward to investigate the trouble. Others came strolling along in the direction of the cabin, where Caline stood under an old gnarled mulberry tree, staring. Her father had halted his mule at the end of the cotton row, and stood staring also, leaning upon his plow.

There were ladies in the party. They walked awkwardly in their high-heeled boots over the rough, uneven ground. They tried to talk to Caline, but could not understand the French patois with which she answered them.

One of the men—a pleasant-faced youngster—drew a sketch book from his pocket and began to make a picture of the girl. She stayed motionless, her hands behind her, and her wide eyes fixed earnestly upon him. Before he had finished there was a summons from the train; and all went scampering hurriedly away. The engine screeched, it sent a few lazy puffs into the still air, and in another moment or two had vanished, bearing its human cargo with it.

Caline could not feel the same after that. She looked with new and strange interest upon the trains of cars that passed so swiftly back and forth across her vision, each day; and wondered whence these people came, and whither they were going.

One day she walked miles down the track to talk with the old flagman, who stayed down there by the big water tank. Yes, he knew. Those people came from the great cities in the north, and were going to the city in the south. He knew all about the city; it was a grand place. He had lived there once. His sister lived there now; and she would be glad enough to have so fine a girl as Caline to help her cook and scrub, and tend the babies. And he thought Caline might earn as much as five dollars a month, in the city.

So she went; in a new cotonade, and her Sunday shoes; with a sacredly guarded scrawl that the flagman sent to his sister.

The woman lived in a tiny, stuccoed house, with green blinds, and three wooden steps leading down to the banquette. Over the house tops loomed the tall masts of ships, and the hum of the French market could be heard on a still morning. Caline was at first bewildered. She had to readjust all her preconceptions to fit the reality of it. The flagman's sister was a kind and gentle task-mistress. At the end of a week or two she wanted to know how the girl liked it all. Caline liked it very well, for it was pleasant, on Sunday afternoons, to stroll with the children under the great, solemn sugar sheds; or to sit upon the compressed cotton bales, watching the stately steamers, the graceful boats, and noisy little tugs that plied the waters of the Mississippi.

When the woman asked her again after another week if she were still pleased, she was not so sure. And again when she questioned Caline the girl turned away, and went to sit behind the big, yellow cistern, to cry unobserved. For she knew now that it was not the great city and its crowds of people she had so eagerly sought; but the pleasant-faced boy, who had made her picture that day under the mulberry tree.

Author looks at how kids can face tight spots
By Mary Quattlebaum, Washington Post on 11.19.18
Torrey Maldonado is the author of the novel "Tight" which deals with children and their power to make choices.
Torrey Maldonado likes to ask this question when he talks at schools about his new novel, "Tight." "Every kid's hand goes up," said Maldonado, in a phone interview from his home in Brooklyn, New York. "They all have an answer: super speed, super strength, flying." In his book, the main character, Bryan, wishes he was as smart as the superheroes Black Panther and Batman, who think ahead and figure things out. His best friend, Mike, wants to be as strong as Luke Cage. But Maldonado reminds kids that they already have an important power: the power to choose. Maldonado knows that can be easier to say than to act on. He, too, faced tough choices in middle school, just like Bryan. He knows the choice is rarely between an absolute right and an absolute wrong. Take Bryan's friend, for example, Mike, who is smart and likable. Both boys love hanging out for hours, reading comic books and discussing superheroes. But Mike has another side. He talks Bryan into doing stuff that Bryan has always thought is wrong, such as skipping school and jumping turnstiles to ride the subway without paying. When Bryan pushes back, however, Mike makes fun of him for being "soft" and scared. Bryan doesn't want to lose his only real friend, and he doesn't want others in his Brooklyn neighborhood, especially his tough dad, to see him as "soft." When Mike's risk-taking gets another kid into big trouble, Bryan doesn't know what to do or how to step away from the friendship. When Maldonado talks to students about his book and their choices, he says he often feels as if he's "talking to a younger me." Growing up in a neighborhood like Bryan's, Maldonado knew kids like Mike, and now that he's a middle-school teacher, he sees his students faced with similar choices. "Most of us have had Mikes in our lives," he said. "A bully isn't just someone who steals your lunch money; some are cool and popular, like Mike. How do you deal with them?" Maldonado worked hard to create Mike as a complicated character. He didn't want Mike to be a caricature of a bad guy, but to have positive traits as well as flaws in order to make him more believable. When he was a kid, Maldonado had someone who tried to show him the power of choice: his mother. She encouraged his writing since he was "in diapers," he said with a laugh. Her own writing inspired him. "I loved it when she would open her spiral notebook and ask my opinion about a poem she had written, or a quote" that she liked, he added. When his mom realized she was the model for Bryan's strong, loving mother in the book, she was so touched that "she started crying," Maldonado said. The author is working on a new novel, about a mixed-race boy. As he juggles teaching and writing, Maldonado says he sometimes wishes he had a certain superpower. "Super speed like the Flash," he said. "That way, I could write all the stories I have in my head."

Read Edward Corsi’s quotation from the book Immigrant Kids by Russell Freedman.

Edward Corsi, who later became United States Commissioner of Immigration, was a ten-year-old Italian immigrant when he sailed into New York harbor in 1907:

My first impressions of the New World will always remain etched in my memory, particularly that hazy October morning when I first saw Ellis Island. The steamer Florida, fourteen days out of Naples, filled to capacity with 1600 natives of Italy, had weathered one of the worst storms in our captain’s memory; and glad we were, both children and grown-ups, to leave the open sea and come at last through the Narrows into the Bay.

How does this quotation add credibility to Freedman’s line that the voyage was an ordeal, but it was worth it?

It comes from a reliable source. Edward Corsi was a professor who teaches American history.
It comes from a reliable source. Edward Corsi was the captain of the steamer Florida and weathered a terrible storm.
It comes from a reliable source. Edward Corsi was a reporter who wrote about Ellis Island for a newspaper.
It comes from a reliable source. Edward Corsi was not only an immigrant himself but also a Commissioner of Immigration.

When it came to his cousin, Jim always came in second best. Even as kids playing together, Chad had always been the leader. He’d picked the games they’d played and even invented a secret code they’d used. Jim had forgotten most of that code except the one they’d used when planning a raid on the cookie jar. Two knocks, three, and then one meant, “Lie low, and wait!” “Well?” Chad was asking. He sounded impatient. “Are you going to dive or just sit there counting fish?” He did a back roll off the side of the boat. Jim followed and forgot everything but his descent into the water world.
