and winters were cold, to a city of houses made of clay, straw, and camel dung, surrounded by dusty steppes, burned by the s.un.

We lived in a small room with a couple we did not know. We slept on a dirt floor. I had no toys and no books. Worst of all: food was scarce.

One day, Father went to the bazaar to buy bread. As evening approached, he hadn't returned. Mother and I were worried and hungry. It was nearly dark when he came home. He carried a long roll of paper under his arm.

(b) "I bought a map," he announced triumphantly.

"Where is the bread?" Mother asked.

"I bought a map," he said again.

Mother and I said nothing.

"I had enough money to buy only a tiny piece of bread, and we would still be hungry," he explained apologetically.

"No supper tonight," Mother said bitterly. 'We'll have the map instead."

(c) I was~- I didn't think I would ever forgive him, and I went to bed hungry, while the couple we lived with ate their meager supper.

The husband was a writer. He wrote in silence, but, oh! how loudly he chewed. He chewed a small crust of bread with such enthusiasm, as if it were the most delicious morsel in the world. I envied him his bread and wished I were the one chewing it. I covered my head with my blanket so I would not hear him smacking his lips with such noisy delight.

The next day, Father hung the map. It took up an entire wall. Our cheerless room was flooded with color.

Devastated suggests utter

ruin. It creates a more

horrible and soul-crushing effect..

Read sentence (b) in paragraph D . What does the word triumphantly suggest about how father felt about buying the map?

It suggests he considers the

map a treasure greater than

food . He is proud of himself

and feels he made a conquest.

Read sentence (c) in paragraph m. Suppose the author had used the word upset or angry instead of furious. ·How would the effect have been different?

It would have been less

intense. Furious suqqests

that someone is overcome by emotion.

I became fascinated by the map and spent long hours looking at it, studying its every detail, and many days drawing it on any scrap of paper that chanced my way.

And so I spent enchanted hours far, far from our hunger and misery.

I forgave my father. He was right, after all.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: I was born in Warsaw, Poland, in 1935. The Warsaw blitz occurred in 1939. Shortly thereafter, I fled Poland with my family, and for six years we lived in the Soviet Union, most of the time in Central Asia, in the city of Turkestan in what is now Kazakhstan. This story takes place when I was four or five years old, in the early years of our stay in Turkestan. The original map was lost long ago.

D

from The Musgrave Ritual by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

every centreOflili-wooden mant~then I begin to give myseU virtuous arrs. I have aJways held, too, that pistol practice should be distinctly an open-air pastime; and when Holmes, in one of his queer humours, would sit in an armchair with his hair-trigger and a hundred Boxer cartridges and proceed to adorn the opposite wall with a patriotic V. R. done in bullet -pocks, I felt strongly that neither the atmosphere nor the appearance of our room was improved by it.

D Our chambers were always full of chemicals and of criminal relics which had a way of wandering into unlikely positions, and of turning up in

' the butter-dish or in even less desirable places. But his papers were my great crux. (b) He had a horror of destroying documents, especially those which were connected with his past cases, and yet it was only once in every year or two that he would muster energy to docket and arrange them; for, as I have mentioned somewhere in these incoherent memoirs, the outbursts of passionate energy when he perfonned the remarkable feats with which his name is associated were followed by reactions of lethargy during which he would lie about with his violin and his books, hardly moving save from the sofa to the table. Thus month after month his papers accumulated until every corner of the room was stacked with bundles of manuscript Which were on no account to be burned, and which could not be put away save by their owner. One winter's night, as we sat together by the fire, I ventured to suggest to him that, as he had finished pasting extracts into his commonplace book, he might employ the next two

hours in making our room a little more habitable. He could not deny the justice of my request, so with a rather rueful faoe he went off to his bedroom, from which he returned presently pulling a large tin box behind him. This he placed in the middle of the floor, and, squatting down upon a stool in front of it, he threw back the lid. I could see that it was already a third full of bundles of paper tied up with red tape into separate packages.

mischievous eyes. "I think that if you knew all that I had in this box you would ask me to pull some out instead of putting others in."

"These are the records of your early work, then?" I asked. "'I have often wished that I had notes of those cases."

(c) "'Yes, my boy, these were all done prematurely before my biographer had rome to glorify me." He lifted bundle after bundle in a tender, caressing sort of way. 'They are not all successes, Watson," said he. "But there are some pretty little problems among them. Here's the record of the Tarleton murders, and the case of Yam berry, the wine merchant, and the adventure of the old Russian woman, and the singular affair of the aluminum crutch, as well as a full account of Ricoletti of the club-foot, and his abominable wife. And here--<lh, now, this really is something a little recherche. ·•

He dived his arm down to the bottom of the chest and brought up a small wooden box with a sliding lid such as children's toys are kept in. From within he produced a crumpled piece of paper, an old-fashioned brass key, a peg of wood with a ball of string attached to it, and three rusty old discs of metal.

"Well, my boy, what do you make of this lot?" he asked, smiling at

my expression.

"It is a curious collection."

"Very curious, and the story that hangs round it will strike you as being more curious still."

'These relics have a history, then?''

"So much so that they are history."

"What do you mean by that?"

Sherlock Holmes picked them up one hy one and laid them along the edge of the table. Then he resealed himself in his chair and looked them over with a gleam of satisfaction in his eyes.

"'These," said he, "are all that I have left to remind me of the adventure of the Musgrave Ritual."

I had heard him mention the case more than once, though I had never been able to gather the details. "I should be so glad," said I, "if you would give me an account of it.

"And leave the litter as it is?'' he cried mischievously. "'Your tidiness won't bear much strain, after all , Watson. But I should be glad that you should add this case to your annals, for there are points in it which make it quite unique in the criminal records of this or, I believe, of any other country. A collection of my trifling achievements would certainly be incomplete which contained no account of this very singular business.

1. In what way is Watson a foil to Sherlock Holmes?

He isn't a great intellect. He tends to be bumbling and misunderstands the nuances of things. Whereas Holmes is extraordinary, Watson is ordinary.

2. Read paragraphs 3-4. Why does Holmes look at Watson with "mischievous" eyes?

Watson has just asked him to clean up and get rid of papers, but Holmes knows Watson would really love to get his hands on those pape-rs, so he's

Deep! by John Frizell

1 "Food poisoning and sea-sickness: that's a bad combination," said Dr. Watts in ~

2 The sky ~as cerulean and there was a 2-knot breeze blowing across the sparkling waters of the Gulf. But as soon as the RV Resolute had stopped to launch the submersible, the ship had started rolling and it was too much for poor Mark. Dr. Watts' star graduate student was holding the rails with both hands and throwing up. Grace noticed that Mark, who had been to sea many times before, had retained the presence of mind to get himself to the lee side so that nothing blew back on him.

3 "You won't be over that soon," said Watts with a strained look on his face. He thought for a moment and almost automatically began to speak. "This dive has been planned for months. I need someone to go down with me now." Then he looked directly at Grace. "Do you want to take Mark's seat on the dive? All interns are cleared to dive in the sub, should we need them."

4 Could she be hearing correctly? Did the chief oceanographer at Forest Hole Research Center just ask her to make this dive with him?

5 "I'm sure you understand that we can't hold uP this dive," he said apologetically to Mark, who appeared too queasy at the moment to even care.

6 "But I'm just an intern," Grace said humbly. "I'm not really trained."

7 Grace was trembling, but she had signed on for this internship and hoped one day to be an oceanographer herself. It would be great experience, and she had faith in Watts' reputation, although his deme!lJlOr was sometimes gruff. Without responding, she put on the required gear, climbed into the sub, and began almost immediately to have second thoughts. There was no proper interior in the submersible; she was seated in something a bit bigger than a large garbage can, but one made of thick, shiny steel. There was no space to move around. Watts was in a second can, welded to the sub, with no connection to hers. Her head and shoulders stuck out and she could hear the Resolute's crew talking as they went through the pre-dive procedure.

8 "Closing up now," a deckhand said. A massive acrylic dome, inches thick, swung down

from behind and sealed her off from the outside world. Suddenly, it was perfectly quiet; she could see the crew, but she couldn't hear them. She felt trapped.

"Uh, Dr. Watts," she said into her microphone. "Where is the emergency release in case I have to get out quickly?"

"It's the red one to the upper right. But don't even touch it unless I tell you to. The crew will get us out when we surface. This is new to you and probably scary, Grace. But this sub has been down to 1,600 feet more than 50 times. Don't worry; it's fail-safe."

Grace could hear a winch engine whine through the thick steel and acrylic. Abruptly, the deep-sea rover was jerked into the air. It seemed to descend straight toward the water, dip into it for a moment, and then pop back out as the ship's roll took it up, and then submerged it entirely. After a neck-snapping jolt, she sensed a physical sinking feeling.

In line 4, the words seem to describe a gift the speaker appreciates. In line 12, the

reader knows they describe a gift for which the speaker has no use or appreciation.

4. In what way is this poem an example of irony?

The speaker seems to mean one thing, but she really means just the opposite.

A clause is a group of words that has a verb and a subject. When you,edit your writing, make sure you use clauses correctly.

An Independent or main clause expresses a complete thought. It can stand by itself as a sentence, or it can be linked to another clause.

A dependent or subordinate clause does not express a complete idea so it must be linked to an independent clause.

Early oeople had to keep a fire gojng all the tjme, which demanded close supervision and watchfulness.

jndeoendent clause dependent clause

An adjective clause is a dependent clause that modifies a noun or a pronoun. It is also called a relative ca-... Usually, it begins with a relative pronoun: that, which, who, whom, whose.

They want to see the movie that was reyjewed in yesterday's pacer.

An adjective clause can be restrictive or nonrestrictive.

A restrictive clause is essential to the meaning of the sentence. It limits or restricts the meaning of the word it modifies.

.. The students who worked as interns last year are the ones to hire.

This sentence tells you which students will be hire~ot any students, but only the ones who worked as interns last year.

A nonrestrictive clause provides additional information, but it is not essential to the meaning of the sentence. Since a restrictive clause is not necessary (although it may be interesting), it is set off with commas.

Our stay at the dude ranch, whjch I didn't think I would enjoy. turned out to be great.

My Perfect Place by Kelsey Vacca

(1) Everyone has a perfect place, a place that spells magic for them.

(2) For me, that perfect place is Captiva Islan4,_which is off the western

coast of Florida. (3) What makes a place perfect to me? (4) Well, to my

mind, there are th{ee key ingredients: sun, sand, and wate~ Wluch I

think of the three S's or ellential~.

(6) I love that feeling of sun on my face and the way it warms my

body. (7) Of course, I know}that too much sun is a health hazard, which

means that I take precautions. (8) Like every intelligent personf(!ij yVho

goes out in the sun, I lather up with sun screen. (10) My mom bought

me a couple of shirts last yeru}that have special UV protection. (11) I

wear a purple polka dot cap with a big visol;-. which I think looks cool but

my friends think makes me look silly. (12) Th any event, I'm prepared for

the sun, and I enjoy it mightily.

Cilllded Q..tl••• Why did the writer add a comma in sentence (2)?

There is a nonrestrictive clause. Explain the change to sentences (4) and (5).

Since 5 is a dependent clause, it needs to be connected to an independent clause. Since it is nonrestrictive, it needs a comma before it. Why did the writer remove the comma in sentence (7)?

"that too much sun is a health

hazard" is a restrictive clause. Why did the writer combine sentence (8) and (9)?

The dependent clause "who qoes out in the sun" is essential and needs to be connected to the noun it modifies-person.

Why did the writer remove the comma in sentence (10)?

"that have special UV protection" is a restrictive clause that should not be separated by a comma. Why did the writer add a comma in sentence ( 11)?

This separates the

nonrestrictive clause.

How to Make an Omelette by Guy Collins

(1) My goal is to open a resturant and become a world-famous chef. (2)

I grew up reading Julia Child's cookbook, "The Joy of Cooking," the way

other kids read mysteries. (3) With my mother and father's help, I used to

try out a different recipe each weekend, and with each new dish, I grew

better and better. (4) "You have a natural talent for this," Dad said. (5) This

was real praise, since Dad owns the most successful restaurant in town.

(6) To make extra money, a course is taught by me at the local Y to

other teenagers. (7) The first thing, that I tell them is that cooking is easy

as long as you start with good ingredients, develop the best techniques,

and follow the directions. (8) Once you know how to cook, you can, of

course, improvise.

(9) I always start with the simple egg. (1 0) My students glance at one

another, thinking, "Who can't prepare an egg?" (11) A well prepared egg is

wonderful, but a well made omelette is heaven.
