Excerpt from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Mark Twain
...Tom and me found the money that the robbers hid in the cave, and it made us rich. We got six thousand dollars apiece--all gold. It was an awful sight of money when it was piled up. Well, Judge Thatcher he took it and put it out at interest, and it fetched us a dollar a day apiece all the year round --more than a body could tell what to do with. The Widow Douglas she took me for her son, and allowed she would sivilize me; but it was rough living in the house all the time, considering how dismal regular and decent the widow was in all her ways; and so when I couldn't stand it no longer I lit out. I got into my old rags and my sugar-hogshead again, and was free and satisfied. But Tom Sawyer he hunted me up and said he was going to start a band of robbers, and I might join if I would go back to the widow and be respectable. So I went back.
Based on the title and the initial conflict with the Widow Douglas, you can infer that the theme of this passage is
A) a travelogue about Mississippi.
B) the adventure of growing up
C) a conflict between religion and science
D) the difficulties of being a man
d. the difficulties of being a man

in a culture of discipline, if diligent attention to details is essential, how do we decide which are important and what are trivial?
Answer:
Explanation:
For any organizational transformation effort to succeed, discipline and accountability must become the bedrock of the culture. The reason being is because for any person or organization with a desire to grow or change, discipline requires consistent behaviors that align with achieving goals. Then those behaviors become habits. And when productive goal-oriented behaviors become habits, it's hard to stop. That's why they are called habits. For example, a healthcare company I have worked with started referring to their core values as habits. That was done by design because values are only as good as the words and actions that support them. Deciding on what's important and what is trivial is not up for anyone to decide because we decide what is important and what is trivial in life. We decide that what makes us significant is either what we do or what we refuse to do. Its no one else's decision. Hope this helped.

Answer:
The answer is paradox
Explanation:
My loving people, We have been persuaded by some that are careful of our safety, to take heed how we commit ourselves to armed multitudes, for fear of treachery; but I assure you I do not desire to live to distrust my faithful and loving people. Let tyrants fear, I have always so behaved myself that, under God, I have placed my chiefest strength and safeguard in the loyal hearts and good-will of my subjects; and therefore I am come amongst you, as you see, at this time, not for my recreation and disport, but being resolved, in the midst and heat of the battle, to live and die amongst you all; [1] to lay down for my God, and for my kingdom, and my people, my honour and my blood, even in the dust. [2] I know I have the body but of a weak and feeble woman; but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of England too, and think foul scorn that Parma or Spain, or any prince of Europe, should dare to invade the borders of my realm; to which rather than any dishonour shall grow by me, [3] I myself will take up arms, I myself will be your general, judge, and rewarder of every one of your virtues in the field. I know already, for your forwardness you have deserved rewards and crowns; and We do assure you in the word of a prince, they shall be duly paid you. In the mean time, my lieutenant general shall be in my stead, than whom never prince commanded a more noble or worthy subject; not doubting but by your obedience to my general, by your concord in the camp, and your valour in the field, we shall shortly have a famous victory over those enemies [4] of my God, of my kingdom, and of my people.

I HEAR America singing, the varied carols I hear;
Those of mechanics – each one singing his, as it should be, blithe and strong;
The carpenter singing his, as he measures his plank or beam,
The mason singing his, as he makes ready for work, or leaves off work;
The boatman singing what belongs to him in his boat – the deckhand singing on the steamboat deck;
The shoemaker singing as he sits on his bench – the hatter singing as he stands;
The wood-cutter’s song – the ploughboy’s, on his way in the morning, or at the noon intermission, or at sundown;
The delicious singing of the mother – or of the young wife at work – or of the girl sewing or washing – Each singing what belongs to her, and to none else;
The day what belongs to the day – At night, the party of young fellows, robust, friendly,
Singing, with open mouths, their strong melodious songs.
—“I Hear America Singing,”
Walt Whitman
Write three to five sentences describing the picture this poem creates by using repetition and free verse.
Sample Answer:
The repetition of singing throughout the poem paints a picture of many Americans working and singing at the same time. The poem also repeats the idea that each person's song is his own, so the image is one of many different songs being sung at once. Their songs and jobs are all different, but they seem happy and joined together in song.

Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World. Eventually, I visited Guyana to find out the fate of our house. As our car passed old sugar estates, and I saw the palm trees bending against the wide sky, the lush cane growing in thick, shiny rows, the villages, which were really parcels of land surrounding the important estates, I realized that sugar had been the entire reason for this country's existence. Every now and then an old boiling house—where the cane is processed into crystals, molasses, and rum—would show itself on the flat landscape, cropping up like a hulking ghost.
