i’ll leave paragraph 44 here*
“It would be difficult to describe the subtle brotherhood of men that was here established on the seas. No one said that it was so. No one mentioned it. But it dwelt in the boat, and each man felt it warm him. They were a captain, an oiler, a cook, and a correspondent, and they were friends, friends in a more curiously iron- bound degree than may be common. The hurt captain, lying against the water-jar in the bow, spoke always in a low voice and calmly, but he could never command a more ready and swiftly obedient crew than the motley three of the of the dingey. It was more than a mere recognition of what was best for the common safety. There was surely in it a quality that was personal and heartfelt. And after this devotion to the commander of the boat there was this comradeship that the correspondent, for instance, who had been taught to be cynical of men, knew even at the time was the best experience of his life. But no one said that it was so. No one mentioned it.”

In paragraph 44, how does the narrator describe their time at sea and the impact it has had on everyone, especially the correspondent?

Little park that I pass through,
I carry off a piece of you
Every morning hurrying down
To my work-day in the town;
5 Carry you for country there
To make the city ways more fair.
I take your trees,
And your breeze,
Your greenness,
10 Your cleanness
Some of your shade, some of your sky,
Some of your calm as I go by;
Your flowers to trim
The pavements grim;
15 Your space for room in the jostled¹ street
And grass for carpet to my feet.
Your fountains take and sweet bird calls
To sing me from my office walls.
All that I can see
20 I carry off with me.
But you never miss my theft,
So much treasure you have left.
As I find you, fresh at morning,
So I find you, home returning-
25 Nothing lacking from your grace.
All your riches wait in place
For me to borrow
On the morrow.
Do you hear this praise of you,
30 Little park that I pass through?

Duke Ellington was born in Washington D.C., and from an early age he loved music. When he was four years old, he listened to his mother play a popular piano tune called "The Rosary" and he cried, saying, "It was so pretty. So pretty." Not long after that, at the age of seven, he began to play piano himself. It seems that he knew he was going to go places. He told his next door neighbor, Mr. Pinn, "One of these days I'm going to be famous." How old do you think Duke Ellington was when he started writing music? At age 15, Ellington worked at a soda fountain and wrote his first song, "Soda Fountain Rag." By his late teens, he was making enough money to help his parents move into a better house. One of Ellington's first professional gigs was a party where he played so long that his hand bled. He earned 75 cents. "It was the most money I had ever seen," he said. "I rushed all the way home to my mother with it. But I could not touch a piano key for weeks . . . " What do you think was Ellington's next move? Ellington studied music during the ragtime era. Ragtime was a kind of popular American music consisting of off-beat dance rhythms that began with the honky-tonk pianists along the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. By the time he was 20, he and his friends formed a band that would be the foundation for his life's work. From 1923 to 1927, he and his band lived in New York City and made about 60 recordings. Their first big break came on December 4, 1927, at the opening night of what would turn out to be a long engagement at the Cotton Club in New York City's Harlem neighborhood. The Ellington Orchestra often broadcast live on radio from the Cotton Club, so their unique style of jazz became familiar to people across the country.


My Son Duke

I'll never forget that day as long as I live. Duke was just a little thing back then--hardly even four years old. I had spent all morning cleaning the house too busy to play with him, when Duke finally insisted I pay some attention to him. So I decided I'd play him a song. I sat down at our old piano, and I played the only tune I knew--"The Rosary." To my surprise, when I finished the song, Duke was crying. I had a four-year-old boy crying at my music saying it was "pretty. So pretty." That was the beginning. He began to play on my piano every chance he got, and by seven he was playing it better than me!


How do these two accounts of an early event in Duke Ellington's life differ?


A) The longer passage is primarily emotional, while the shorter passage simply presents the facts.


B) The shorter passage is obviously positive toward Ellington, while the longer passage is primarily negative in tone.


C) The longer passage focuses on Ellington's whole life, while the shorter passage focuses just on one childhood event.


D) The shorter passage is written from Duke Ellington's point of view, while the longer passage is written from Duke Ellington's mother's point of view.
