"Marigolds" is told from the perspective of Lizabeth, giving her the opportunity to relate her emotions and thoughts about the events in the story. Pretend that you are Miss Lottie and are relating the same events from her point of view. Consider the significance of the marigolds, and the impact their destruction would have on her character. Your narrative of at least 300 words should contain details from the text, as well as your own descriptive language.

Answer and Explanation:

Day after day my only happiness, rest and peace has been the constant care that I have with my marigolds. I have been taking care of them for a long time and seeing them grow strong, beautiful and healthy has been my only and greatest achievement. As I watch my marigolds dancing on the sway of the wind and shining in the sunlight, I forget the difficult time that my country is going through, if I have the marigolds, I can take it. I forget my loneliness and the neighbors' rule, if I have the marigolds, I can take it. I forget the ugly and joyless environment in which I live, if I have the marigolds I can take it. I also forget the difficulties of taking care of a handicapped child alone, if I have the marigolds I can take it. Marigolds are all that give me peace, hope, beauty and happiness.

However, Lizabeth jealous of my prosperity took the marigolds from me, what I loved most, the treasure of my life. I couldn't do anything but become as miserable as she was. I lost my strength and my motivation and I cannot avoid spending my days in extensive melancholy until the day of my death.

While dogs are often more friendly, I argue that cats are more adaptable to their environments and, therefore, better pets.

]Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
By Robert Frost
About the Author
Robert Frost (1874-1963) was one of America’s most popular 20th-century poets. For much of
his life, he lived on a farm in New Hampshire and wrote poems about farm life and the New
England landscape. He wrote “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” in 1922, and he
described it as his favorite work, calling it his “best bid for remembrance.”
1 Whose woods these are I think I know,
2 His house is in the village though;
3 He will not see me stopping here
4 To watch his woods fill up with snow.
5 My little horse must think it queer
6 To stop without a farmhouse near
7 Between the woods and frozen lake
8 The darkest evening of the year.
9 He gives his harness bells a shake
10 To ask if there is some mistake.
11 The only other sound’s the sweep
12 Of easy wind and downy flake.
13 The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
14 But I have promises to keep,
15 And miles to go before I sleep,
16 And miles to go before I sleep.

The Substitute by Bailey Sebastian
1 When Laila walked into math class on Thursday, the room was
in an uproar. Although the students usually took their seats
immediately and opened their books quietly, today they were
gathered in groups, chatting loudly, and laughing.
2 Laila stopped just inside the doorway, but then quickly spotted
the reason for the change. Instead of Ms. Vasquez, a rather short,
older gentleman with glasses perched crookedly on his nose
stood at the front of the class. Laila did a double-take—the man
was her neighbor, Mr. Marrero! She and her family had gone to
pay their respects after his wife had passed away last year, and
she remembered him telling an amazing story about surviving an
emergency landing during a transcontinental flight.
3 “Hey, Laila, wasn’t Teen Idol awesome last night?” yelled Jason.
4 “Y-yeah,” stammered Laila. Jason didn’t usually talk to Laila.
The popular kids just wrote her off as “that quiet girl.”
5 Laila bit her lip; she wanted to keep talking, but she felt bad for
Mr. Marrero, and she was embarrassed by her class’s behavior.
Without realizing it, Laila reached over and flicked the light
switch, just like Ms. Vasquez did when the class was unruly.
6 Suddenly silent, every classmate turned to stare at her, and
Laila’s cheeks burned bright red. But then she smiled at the
substitute and said, “Hello, Mr. Marrero—”
7 Mr. Marrero focused, and then recognition dawned and he
responded, “Oh, my neighbor . . . Laila, right?”
8 Laila heard someone snicker and knew it was time to
blend back in or help Mr. Marrero. She took a deep breath.
“Mr. Marrero, will you tell us about the time you were
on a jet that crash-landed in the ocean?”
9 Thirty mouths gaped open, and sixty eyes looked with
curiosity at Mr. Marrero, soon to be their new favorite substitute.

Read the speech and answer the question.

[1] Picture this: It's Spring Break, and you fly off to some country where there's lush rainforests and beautiful, blue coastlines to explore. There's also people in need, so you decide to blend your vacation with volunteering. Volunteering as a tourist, or voluntourism, seems like a great way to explore new regions and help people at the same time. However, this "volunteer plus travel" experience can actually harm local communities. While many teens might view traveling and volunteering abroad as a worthwhile adventure, there are more genuine and effective ways to make a difference.

[2] Most would agree that volunteering in general is a worthy use of time. However, what if you found out the children you are "helping" are actually being kept in poor conditions so voluntourists will spend money to come to the local area? Dale Rolfe, a supporter of ethical voluntourism, explains the shocking reality that "Animal sanctuaries and orphanages are often manufactured for the voluntourist...encouraging a cycle of exploiting the very animals and children the volunteers are trying to help."

[3] Proponents of the "volunteer plus travel" experience also argue that traveling to new places builds character and is a valuable way to learn about different cultures. With voluntourism, however, participants often pursue experiences that are all about them. For example, they sign up to build a school for a gold star on their resume, but they have no real building skills and take jobs away from local construction workers (Schulten). Or, they arrive to teach English but instead take selfies with the locals. One world traveler and ethical voluntourist believes voluntourism "can perpetuate small minded views of the world by taking insulated, fake, and structured experiences and selling them as unabridged and eye opening" (Carlos). The voluntour experience is a mirage. The voluntourist's eyes are not opened to real life at the destination, and lasting change is not achieved.

[4] If you want a genuine experience where you can see a lasting impact, there are better options than voluntourism. You can volunteer in your local community. Give an hour every week to your town's animal rescue. Serve monthly dinners to the homeless. Be a reliable, positive influence on a child who needs a mentor. Studies show that volunteering and forming lasting relationships with those you help has a positive impact on your physical and emotional health. In fact, blood pressure is reduced, memory is improved, and rates of depression are reduced (Michaels).

[5] There is another reason to look into alternatives to voluntourism. Did you know the average "voluntour" travel package costs $3,400 (Rolfe)? Could that travel money be better spent? If the world's citizens are your passion, it could go to an international organization. If you care about education, your funds can be used to buy books for students in faraway lands. If you want villagers to have clean water, contribute funds to local efforts to dig wells. If you want to experience a different culture, travel to the country as a guest, and learn from the locals how you can best help them after you've returned home. But do not voluntour.

[6] In reality, there are better ways to make a difference. Voluntourism might appear to be an adventure that blends travel and helping others, but it does little except provide a costly, superficial experience that might actually do more harm than good. So, volunteer where you are most needed-at home, where you can stay to see the job through and form genuine, lasting relationships. Choose a beautiful coastline closer to home and send the travel money you saved to an international organization that will put it to good use. Whatever you do, don't turn someone else's hardship into your vacation.

How does the speaker's metaphor of a gold star in paragraph 3 support the purpose of the speech?

It challenges the audience to view voluntourism opportunities in a positive light.

It confirms the idea that voluntourism experiences look good on a college or career resume.

It emphasizes the selfish and superficial motivation behind voluntour opportunities.

It highlights the generous contribution that voluntours make to the areas they visit.

I had indeed lost my mind, for all the smoldering emotions of that summer swelled in me and burst—the great need for my mother who was never there, the hopelessness of our poverty and degradation, the bewilderment of being neither child nor woman and yet both at once, the fear unleashed by my father’s tears.
