Read the passage from the following website: www.growingnation.org

President Thomas Jefferson believed that for Americans to be virtuous and free, they needed to farm land. He wanted to expand westward to create more farmland. Jefferson also wanted to obtain the Port of New Orleans at the mouth of the Mississippi River so farmers could easily transport their goods. He facilitated the purchase of New Orleans and the rest of the French territory from France in 1803 for $15 million. This new land was called the Louisiana Territory and stretched partway across the continent. It was the first step in expanding the United States. The purchase of the Louisiana Territory led to a pattern of westward expansion through payment, negotiations, and conflict.

The homeless lady pulled off her wig, and my mom said, “Happy birthday, my 15-year-old detective!” I looked around at everyone. They were all laughing so much. My dad and my grandparents were there, dressed as police officers. I couldn’t believe it. Everybody was smiling and wishing me happy birthday and saying things like, “Are you okay? Was today okay?”

“So the whole day was a trick?” I asked.

“We like to think of it as a very elaborate birthday surprise,” my mom replied.

I was stunned but also grateful and amazed that all these people would do this for me. What incredible friends and family I had. I was speechless. That doesn’t happen often!

“Now, birthday boy, we gotta get outta here,” shouted Rick, laughing. “We’ve got a movie to see!”

What evidence is there that Romeo and Juliet experience love at first sight?

To Autumn
by John Keats

Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells.


Who hath not seen thee oft amid thy store?
Sometimes whoever seeks abroad may find
Thee sitting careless on a granary floor,
Thy hair soft-lifted by the winnowing wind;
Or on a half-reap'd furrow sound asleep,
Drows'd with the fume of poppies, while thy hook
Spares the next swath and all its twined flowers:
And sometimes like a gleaner thou dost keep
Steady thy laden head across a brook;
Or by a cyder-press, with patient look,
Thou watchest the last oozings hours by hours.


Where are the songs of spring? Ay, Where are they?
Think not of them, thou hast thy music too,—
While barred clouds bloom the soft-dying day,
And touch the stubble-plains with rosy hue;
Then in a wailful choir the small gnats mourn
Among the river sallows, borne aloft
Or sinking as the light wind lives or dies;
And full-grown lambs loud bleat from hilly bourn;
Hedge-crickets sing; and now with treble soft
The red-breast whistles from a garden-croft;
And gathering swallows twitter in the skies.

Among the river sallows, borne aloft
Or sinking as the light wind lives or dies;"

Conspiring . . . how to load and bless
With fruit the vines . . .
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core."
