Liam's bedroom, knocked a vase off the bookshelf, and sent the family
dog into hiding. The kitten was a mini-tornado. The white ball of fur
pounced and hissed commandingly, just as a sudden storm shows its
power with thunder and lightning.

He not only told me about it, but he acted out the part of a white player charging into me, blaming me for the "accident" and calling me all kinds of foul racial names. He talked about my race, my parents, in language that was almost unendurable.

"They'll taunt and goad you," Mr. Rickey said. "They'll do anything to make you react. They'll try to provoke a race riot in the ballpark. This is the way to prove to the public that a Negro should not be allowed in the major league. This is the way to frighten the fans and make them afraid to attend the games."

What is the author’s purpose for including these paragraphs?

to inform readers about the history of race riots at American ballparks
to inform readers about the challenges Rickey and Robinson expect to face
to persuade readers that all races should be treated equally in American sports

Dru is reading about castles for a class project. A stone built of light-colored stone with several windows and turrets. Medieval castles were built for safety, not comfort. The walls were thick to protect the residents from invaders. Windows were made tall and thin so that soldiers could shoot arrows through the openings. Towers were a common place to watch for approaching enemies. After looking at the photograph and reading the text, which new idea can Dru form about this castle? The tall tower was probably used by soldiers to watch for enemies. The high-pitched roof must have made it easier to protect the castle. This castle was probably very fancy and expensive inside for the residents. The windows in this castle were likely to be targets for attackers.

From whose point of view is this passage told?

It is very seldom that mere ordinary people like John and myself secure ancestral halls for the summer.

A colonial mansion, a hereditary estate, I would say a haunted house, and reach the height of romantic felicity – but that would be asking too much of fate!

Still I will proudly declare that there is something queer about it.

Else, why should it be let so cheaply? And why have stood so long untenanted?

John laughs at me, of course, but one expects that in marriage.

–“The Yellow Wallpaper,” Charlotte Perkins Gilman
