Nicholas’s Diary: April 2 and 3

Friday, April 2

Well, it’s only 10 more hours until my father and I leave for our treasure hunt. Every Saturday morning for as long as I can remember I have seen him leave, always by himself, to look for treasure. I have always longed to go with him, and he’s always told me that someday I would get the chance. I was so excited when he told me I would finally have my chance that I was bouncing off the walls like a rubber ball and springing from one place to the next the rest of the day.

He has always been as quiet as a mouse about the treasure that he finds, scurrying away with his equipment in the morning and piling up his treasure in his study. Even though he says he always comes home with something, he has never shown it to me or even told me what type of treasure it is. Is it gold, or silver, or maybe it’s precious jewels? Whatever it is, tomorrow I will find out, and hopefully he’ll let me bring some to class so that I can show my friends since I’ve been bragging about it to them ever since Dad told me I could go!

Saturday, April 3

The treasure hunt was fun, but it was not what I expected. Dad and I left early in the morning and headed for the same woods that we sometimes go hiking in on Sundays. I never would have thought they hold treasure, but what was really odd was when Dad told me to leave the shovels at home because we wouldn’t need them. But what he did bring with him was a bright yellow GPS . I had seen it in his truck many times before. I always wondered what he did with it. Today I found out.

Dad and I wandered into the woods, first staying on the hiking path I had taken several times before and then veering off the path. The forest was like a statue; it was still and covered in damp moss and dead leaves; it didn't even seem alive. It appeared that no one had been there for a long time so I knew that this treasure must be old and far under the ground. How were we going to get to it without shovels?

As Dad kept his eyes on the GPS , I looked around, and suddenly I noticed a patch of leaves that was disturbed and a log that looked like it had been moved. When I asked Dad about it, his eyes lit up, and he said he saw the treasure. He reached under the log and pulled out a plastic box with a label that read “Official Geocache.”

I didn’t know what an official geocache was, but I soon found out when Dad opened it. Inside was a little notebook and a bunch of small items like a set of dice, a toy car, and a large silver dollar. Dad said that he thought the toy car was cool, so he took it out and put it in his pocket and then pulled a golf ball from his other pocket and put it in the box. He wrote his name and my name in the little notebook and then closed the box and put it back where he found it.

Geocaching, which is what Dad later told me this type of treasure hunting is called, was much different than digging for gold in the ground. But I thought it was fun, and I hope Dad takes me again next Saturday.
Question 1
Part A

In "Nicholas's Diary: April 2 and 3," why is Nicholas surprised by the place his dad takes him for the treasure hunt?


It's the same place they go for walks on Sundays sometimes.

He will not be finding gold or silver, but something far more important.

He will not have a very good story to tell his friends at practice on Monday.

The treasure hunt will take multiple days.
Question 2
Part B

Which sentence from the text best supports the answer in Part A?


"…I noticed a patch of leaves that was disturbed and a log that looked like it had been moved.”

"I never would have thought [these woods] hold treasure…"

How does Frank R. stockton present an impossible decision in " The lady , or the Tiger?"

PLEASE HURRY

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

In "The Lady, or the Tiger?", author Frank R. Stockton presents an impossible decision when the princess has to choose if she will help her loved one live to marry another, or if she will lead him to his death.

First, it is important to understand this princess is described as semi-barbaric. She is impetuous, egotistic, spoiled. She is used to having what she wants. When she falls in love with a man of inferior birth, her father - who is described as a semi-barbaric king himself - decides to take the man to trial.

The king's idea of a fair trial would be comical if it weren't tragic. The man has to choose between two doors. If he chooses the one behind which is a tiger, that means he is guilty, and the tiger kills him. If he chooses the one behind which is a damsel, that means he is innocent, and he has to marry her on the spot.

The princess manages to find out which door leads to which result. However, as the time to help her loved one gets nearer, she realizes she does not want him to marry another woman. Just the thought of seeing him happily wedded makes her angry. On the other hand, she loves him enough to not want him to die. And this is her dilemma, her impossible choice. The author does not tell us what she decides to do. He leaves it to our imagination instead.

Read the excerpt from "Egyptian Tombs: A Grave Matter.” From the twenty-fifth century BCE, pharaohs’ tombs were located inside grand pyramids. The pyramids served as giant grave markers; however, they also served as treasure markers for grave robbers. These wicked people would strip the tombs bare of all valuables. Then they would sell the stolen items for a large amount of money. Stealing from the dead was bad enough, but for the ancient Egyptians, the act also threatened the pharaoh’s afterlife. Based on the details in the excerpt, what conclusion can be drawn about the pharaohs of ancient Egypt?

Answers

Answer:

A). They went to great lengths to ensure that their tombs would not be robbed.

Explanation:

As per the descriptions provided in the excerpt, it can be concluded that 'the pharaohs of ancient Egypt went to great lengths to ensure that their tombs would not be robbed.'

What do you think about this man? Do you find him honorable and patriotic for living in his country, following all the rules, and being the ideal government‘s citizen; or do you find it dishonorable that he lived simply as an ordinary man?

Answers

Answer:

ordinary citizen who does not cause any trouble but simply performs his duties accordingly.

Explanation:

In the poem "Unknown Citizen" by W. H Auden, I think the man is a ordinary citizen who does not cause any trouble but simply performs his duties accordingly.

I find him honorable and patriotic for living in his country, following all the rules, and being the ideal government‘s citizen.

This is because being patriotic does not necessarily mean to serve the country on the frontline or in the army. Simply being a responsible citizen and performing one's duty accordingly is also an honorable citizen.

One must always live without causing any trouble to other citizens and perform right duties like paying taxes, debts plans, insurance policies, etc on time just like the man in the poem.

1 It is in bad taste to apologize to the waiters for the trouble given them, and betrays a lamentable ignorance of the customs of society. They are hired to wait upon the guests, and it is no affair of those guests how they feel, as long as they discharge their duty. To reprove a waiter is the height of ill-breeding.

2 Do not, when a dish is brought to you, say you prefer to be helped after some one else. Accept or refuse what is offered to you, and let the waiter pass the dish on. A gentleman, however, will see that the lady he has escorted to the table is helped as she wishes, before he attends to his own dinner, but to interfere with the lady on the other side of him is all insult to her escort. He may ask the lady under his care if she will be helped from any dish offered him, before he accepts or declines for himself, and will issue her orders for her to the waiter when she selects her dinner.

3 A gentleman or a lady will always say "Thank you" to a waiter, but nothing more.

4 A guest must never find fault with any dish placed before him, and to appear to question the quality or freshness of the viands by smelling or fastidiously tasting them, is a positive insult to the gentleman who has invited him to his table.

5 A host or hostess may never find fault before their guests, neither with the dinner, with the servants, nor with each other. Burnt soup, fish boiled to rags, underdone vegetables, heavy pastry, must be endured with smiling equanimity. No scowl must greet the crash that announces the fall of a tray of the finest glass, no word of remonstrance greet the deluge of a plate of soup over the tablecloth. If care has not been taken to secure first- rate cooks and well-trained waiters, the faults of omission and commission must be endured with placid serenity.

6 After the ladies have all been served, the guests to the right of the hostess must be attended to, then the guest on her left, and so on until all are served. Ten persons are all that one cook can properly prepare a dinner for, and three waiters will be amply employed in waiting upon that number. If more are invited the attempt to make the conversation general had better not be made, but the guests allowed to converse _tete-a-tete_.

7 Wine should be handed by the waiters after soup. To decline wine by covering the mouth of the wine-glass with the hand is an ill- bred gesture. Say simply "Not any, thank you," and the waiter will not fill your glass.

8 Fish follows next in order. A slice, neatly _cut_, not hashed up by bad carving, should be placed upon each plate, with a slice of egg, and fish sauce. If there be a silver knife, use it to cut the fish. If not, take your fork in your right hand and supply the place of the knife by a small piece of bread, which you should cut off, and when your fish is eaten, leave upon your plate.

9 Do not eat as if you had good fare for the first time in your life--that is to say, do not eat ravenously, and do not eat in a noticeable way.

10 Never smack the lips when eating. Never take a long, deep breath after you finish eating, as if the exercise had fatigued you.

11 Never make noises in your mouth or throat.

12 Never suck your teeth, or pass your tongue round the outside of your gums.

13 Never, even with cheese, put your knife into your mouth.

14 Never pick your teeth, or put your finger into your mouth.

15 If you find you have a fish-bone in your mouth, cover your lips with a napkin to remove it. It is better to be very careful to remove all bones before putting fish into your mouth. On no account spit the bones out upon your plate.

The main idea of this passage could be summarized in which sentence?

A)

Knowing how to eat helps avoid ignorance and makes you a pleasant guest.

B)

Follow the rules of etiquette when giving or attending a dinner party.

C)

Fish is a difficult item to serve and eat when dining out or at home.

D)
