In the Point/Counterpoint article “Violence in the Movies,” two authors express conflicting ideas about the effect media violence has on young people. Read the excerpts, and then choose the correct response to each prompt.

. . . Children are being exposed to high levels of violence in movies, television, and other media throughout the span of childhood. According to research published by the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, “The typical American child will view more than 200,000 acts of violence, including more than 16,000 murders, before age 18.”

What Hollywood filmmakers must understand is that children mimic what they see in movies. When a hero exhibits violent behaviors to defeat an enemy, children follow his lead. They learn that violence is an acceptable form of problem solving. Those who see themselves as victims may be more likely to act out in violent behaviors. They may act against peers, parents, teachers, or other authority figures. According to the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics, in 2011, students ages 12-18 were victims of 597,500 violent victimizations at school.
—“Point”


Violent behavior is an extremely complex issue that cannot be reduced to a simple cause-effect relationship. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has identified many risk factors for youth violence. These include history of early aggressive behavior, exposure to violence in the family, low parental involvement, association with delinquent peers, low IQ, poor academic performance, low socioeconomic status, and many others. Exposure to violence in movies does not appear on the CDC’s list.

. . . Jonathan L. Freedman, a professor of psychology at the University of Toronto, reported “a very small correlation” between media violence and aggressive behavior in children. Freedman suggested that violent behavior is most likely present in children who lack regular adult supervision. How can we hold filmmakers responsible for putting children at risk when it’s a parental duty to monitor what children are watching? Parents must teach their children appropriate behaviors.

STREAM GIVEN-TAKEN.<3

The first rays of sun illuminated the frost on the inside of the window. Jack knew then that the temperature had dipped below zero overnight. The tiny cabin on Mount Rainier was little more than a shack. It had smelled musty when he and Armando first entered it last night, but the strong odor of smoke from the fire filled his nostrils now.
Jack was glad to see that Armando was sleeping on the tattered cot. His friend had fallen more than 30 feet onto a rocky ledge. Jack was certain that Armando’s leg was shattered.
Jack began to think of the treacherous route back to the nearest town. He would have to cross rugged terrain and frozen streams. But Jack knew that he would have to make it there today to find a doctor. Jack drew in a deep breath and began to pack. As his resolve grew, his shaking hands began to steady. He would not let his friend down.

Which details of the setting are most important in conveying the mood?

musty, the inside of the window, smoke from the fire

below zero, rugged terrain, frozen streams

rays of sun, tattered cot

last night, nearest town

A central conflict in Julie of the Wolves is Miyax's attempt to survive on her own, in spite of the harsh conditions of the Alaskan tundra. Think about how Miyax tries to resolve this conflict and the complications that occur each time she thinks she's safe. What theme is suggested by these complications?

Even someone like Miyax, who is raised as an Eskimo, will find the tundra frightening.

When humans must rely on wildlife for survival, it's best to become fierce predators.

The possibility of a young girl surviving are very small in a setting as harsh as Alaska.

Patience and courage are just as important for survival as knowing specific skills.
