The Odyssey: Symbolism and Making Predictions, Part 5
struction Active
Interpreting a Symbol
Now Zeus the lord of cloud roused in the north
a storm against the ships, and driving veils
of squall moved down like night on land and sea.
The bows went plunging at the gust; sails cracked and
lashed out strips in the big wind.
We saw death in that fury, dropped the yards, unshipped
the oars, and pulled for the nearest lee:
then two long days and nights we lay offshore worn out
and sick at heart, tasting our grief,
until a third Dawn came with ringlets shining. Then we
put up our masts, hauled sail, and rested,
letting the steersmen and the breeze take over.
I might have made it safely home, that time,
but as I came round Malea the current
took me out to sea, and from the north
a fresh gale drove me on, past Cythera.
Nine days I drifted on the teeming sea
before dangerous high winds.

Read the paragraph. Then answer the questions that
follow.

Scientists have long been fascinated by the way
massive rocks move along tidal beaches in the Arctic Sea.
NASA advisor and physics scientist Ralph Lorenz had read
stories about how large rocks encased in ice move along
tidal beaches in the Arctic Sea. He theorized that something
similar might be happening in Death Valley, causing rocks
as heavy as 700 pounds to glide across the sand. To test his
theory, he filled a container with water, placed a rock in the
water, and froze it. He placed the ice-encased rock in a tray
of water with sand at the bottom and blew on the rock. It
moved across the sand easily and left a visible trail in the
sand. He suggested that moisture in the air collects under
rocks and freezes at night when the temperature in Death
Valley plummets. The ground under the rock becomes
muddy, so when the winds blow, the ice on the rock makes it
skid across the wet ground, leaving a trail in its wake. Using
his observations of the rocks that move along the tidal
beaches in the Arctic Sea, Lorenz was able to prove similar
movements of rocks in Death Valley through a fairly easy
experiment.

the sand, leaving a trail behind them.

B) The rocks covered in ice glide in the wind on hot days
across wet sand that has been made soft by melting
ice.

C) The ground under the rock becomes muddy as the
wind blows and ice melts. The rocks left covered in
ice skid over other rocks that leave trails as they slide
along the ground.

D) The frozen moisture under the rock melts on hot
days, making the ground muddy. The ice-covered
rock leaves a trail behind it as it skids over the wet
ground when the wind blows.

Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.

You could date a great change in the world to a visit one Madame Villeneuve made to France in 1714. That year, Pauline, an enslaved woman from the Caribbean, arrived in France as the personal servant of her mistress. When Madame Villeneuve set off from the coast to visit Paris, she left Pauline in a convent. The young woman spent her time studying with the nuns and went so far in her training that she asked to become a nun herself and remain in the convent. The nuns agreed, which enraged Madame Villeneuve. She rushed to a judge, demanding to have her property back. Was Pauline a free woman, a bride of Christ, or an item to be bought, sold, and warehoused when she was not in use?

Twenty-three years earlier, King Louis XIV had issued a set of rules that defined slavery as legal in the French sugar islands. But when two slaves managed to reach France, he freed them—saying they became free "as soon as they [touched] the soil" of France. The judges sided with Pauline—she was real to them, human, not a piece of property. For Pauline's judges, as for King Louis, slavery far off across the seas was completely different from enslaved individuals in France.

What claim do the authors make in this passage?

Madame Villeneuve deserves credit for persuading the judges that enslaved people should not be property.
Freeing Pauline would have a significant effect on how people viewed involuntary servitude.
Because so many other people remained enslaved, Pauline's specific case was not very important.
The disagreement between King Louis XIV and the judges would have major effects on laws.

Read the rough draft of a student’s conclusion to an argumentative editorial.

(1) Year-round schooling would help student achievement. (2) Not so much information would have to be crammed into nine months. (3) Furthermore, the elimination of long breaks, particularly summer break, would significantly reduce "learning loss” and the additional time wasted at the beginning of each academic year to reteach previously learned material. (4) It is clear that year-round schooling helps students learn and retain more. (5) The United States is not the only country to experiment with a year-round school schedule. (6) Although many still claim that evidence about year-round school and its link to higher achievement is inconclusive, these people need to open their eyes and see that students in these schools consistently score higher on certain assessments than students who attend schools with traditional nine-month calendars. (7) It is about time that we replaced our outdated and inefficient school calendars.
