Answer:
Shmoopsters, we'd like you to meet Francisco and his family. There's Papá, Mamá, Francisco's older bro Roberto, and his younger bro Trampita. This fam lives in Mexico, but they're about to go on a major adventure to California, where they want to build a new life. Needless to say, they've got big dreams for what lies ahead.
The family is super excited to head to California because it's supposed to be the most amazing place ever, but they end up spending the next handful of years picking crops and doing lots of moving around. Basically every year they live in Corcoran to pick cotton, Santa Maria to pick strawberries, and Fresno to pick grapes.
In Santa Maria, one of their first cities in California, Francisco has two new experiences:
New Experience One: Francisco starts going to school. It is tough because it's in English and Francisco speaks Spanish, plus all the moving his family does means he only goes to school for part of the year. His first school experience contains loads of struggles—like learning a new language and getting into a fistfight with a bully—but he also wins an art prize, so that's cool.
New Experience Two: Francisco's newest and youngest baby bro, Torito, gets sick and almost dies. Luckily he survives in the end, though. Phew.
When Francisco's family moves to Corcoran after living in Santa Maria, he's already onto his second school in California. The good news is that he makes a friend there right away, but the bad news is that this friend also disappears and we have no idea where he goes. (Fast fact: This book is an emotional roller coaster.)
Over the next few years, Francisco and his family move around a lot. And when we say a lot, we mean they move around so much it can make your head spin. But they have lots of adventures along the way. Papá accidentally kills the family's pet parrot; Francisco gets some new siblings—younger bros, Rubén and Torito, and little sis, Rorra; and Francisco finally finds an awesome teacher named Mr. Lema. But don't get too excited because his family moves soon so that teacher-student relationship leaves his life pretty quickly.
Over time, Francisco gets used to all this moving around. He also gets pretty strong with all the labor he does, since eventually he helps his family pick cotton, strawberries, and grapes. Plus Francisco really starts to dig school. So overall things are looking up… but then two tragedies happen that get us down in the dumps again.
The First Tragedy: Francisco starts collecting pennies, and he has two old ones that are his favorites… but then his sister takes them to buy some gumballs. Oops. This may not seem like a huge deal, but Francisco is pretty torn up about it.
The Second Tragedy: Francisco starts using a notebook to keep track of all the school stuff he's learning. He takes really good care of this notebook every day, but then their house catches on fire and his notepad ends up in smithereens. Yep, he's bummed all over again.
By the end of the book, Francisco and his family move back to Francisco's favorite city, Santa Maria. He's doing great in school—you might even say Francisco's kicking butt.
So since everything is going so well, you just know it's all about to come crashing down. And sure enough, right before Francisco is ready to recite the portion of the Declaration of Independence that he's worked so hard on, border patrol comes to take him away. It's pretty much the biggest downer ever, and a rough note to end the book on.

While at the woman’s house with the books, it says that “Montag felt an immense irritation. [The woman] shouldn’t be here, on top of everything!”
a. What typically happens in these fireman raids that didn’t happen this time?
Answer:
From what was provided it is in a sense that he, Montag, did not burn the books this time.
Explanation:
Typically, firemen's duty in the book, Fahrenheit 451 is to burn books, but this time, Montag says that "This woman shouldn't be here on top of everything" possibly meaning that such a woman that carries, not only knowledge, but also books, should not have come to a place where it is prohibited to have books/knowledge! Which means that the woman could possibly get killed for breaking regulations.

Write a paragraph that interprets one of these sections from “A Computer Can Now Translate Languages as Well as a Human:”
“We’re still good for something”
“The best part of language is its quirks”
Use textual evidence and commentary to answer these questions in your response:
What is the author saying about language and the role of a human being in translating?
What textual evidence supports this idea?
How does this evidence support the idea?
Answer: In the section titled “We’re still good for something,” Ramirez argues that humans will still be more effective in translating certain words and phrases than a computer. The author states that “there are terms that exist in one language but not another, necessitating an explanation rather than a translation.” This means that a human may be needed to process how to explain a term that does not have an exact translation in another language.

Examine lines 271-281 to review the Whites' reaction as they realize what has happened to their son. What do they assume
about the two hundred pounds they will receive "as compensation"?
Answer:
They assume the two-hundred pounds will simply appear. Herbert thinks it funny, mother believes it's probably nonsense, and Mr. White's feelings hold an ominous tone. "I expect you'll find the cash tied up in a big bag in the middle of your bed," said Herbert, as he bade them good-night, "and something horrible squatting up on top of the wardrobe watching you as you pocket your ill-gotten gains." He sat alone in the darkness, gazing at the dying fire, and seeing faces in it. The last face was so horrible and so simian that he gazed at it in amazement. It got so vivid that, with a little uneasy laugh, he felt on the table for a glass containing a little water to throw over it. His hand grasped the monkey's paw, and with a little shiver he wiped his hand on his coat and went up to bed.
Explanation:
"I suppose all old soldiers are the same," said Mrs White. "The idea of our listening to such nonsense! How could wishes be granted in these days? And if they could, how could two hundred pounds hurt you, father?" "Might drop on his head from the sky," said the frivolous Herbert. "Morris said the things happened so naturally," said his father, "that you might if you so wished attribute it to coincidence." "Well, don't break into the money before I come back," said Herbert, as he rose from the table. "I'm afraid it'll turn you into a mean, avaricious man, and we shall have to disown you."
The assumption about the two hundred pounds that they will get as compensation was that it'll just appear.
From the story, Mr White stated that "I expect that you'll find the cash tied up in a big bag in the middle of your bed.
This was funny to Herbert, and the mother believed that it was just nonsense. Me white stayed all night gazing at the fire. He was expecting two hundred pounds to appear but it didn't.

Which statement is an example of a text-to-self connection?
While reading a book about explorers, Zane remembers a time when he was lost in the woods and had to find his
way back to his house.
While reading an article about pirates, Mavis recalls a movie she saw last summer that was a fictionalized account
of a pirate ship and its crew.
While reading an article on pet overpopulation, Brian remembers how his best friend volunteered at the animal
shelter for two months.
While reading a book about wildfires, Lena recalls a novel she read last year that told the story of a family
evacuated from their home.
Answer:
The statement that is an example of a text-to-self connection is:
A. While reading a book about explorers, Zane remembers a time when he was lost in the woods and had to find his way back to his house.
Explanation:
To answer this question, we must find the statement in which the person mentioned is reminded of his/her own experience. In other words, it has to be something that happened directly to them or in which they were the performers of the action.
Notice how in options B, C, and D, the people mentioned are reminded of experiences that happened to others or even to fictional characters. In letter D, for instance, Lena did not have an experience related to a wildfire. What she remembers is what the characters in the novel she read went through. The only option that has a true text-to-self connection is letter A. The book is reminding Zane of his own experience, of the time when he himself was lost. It probably brought back the feelings and thoughts he had back when this event took place.

Write an essay in which you explain how Goli Taraghi uses the narrator in order to develop Gol-Maraym's character throughout the story. In your essay, analyze how the author's development of this character advances the plot or theme of the text.
Answer and Explanation:
Goli Taraghi presents a very descriptive narrator. This narrator makes extensive use of adjectives full of details that are able to describe and expose to Golior Maraym's striking characteristics, his personality, his position in the face of situations and his behavior. The great importance of this narrator is that he is able to expose Gol-Maraym within the non-linearity that the character presents. That's because Gol-Maraym is a complex and nuanced character. This requires a very dynamic and canny narrator who can expose all these nuances and layers of personality, in addition to the changes presented throughout history.
This evidences the author's talent in building a precise and moldable narration that fits the character, helping the perception of its construction.
