Lesson 6
POINT OF VIEW
Who is the narrator? does the narrator tell the story in first person or
third person? How much of the world can the narrator perceive (omniscient or
limited)? How does the vantage point of the narrator affect the meaning of
the story? How would the story change if the narrator changed?
First Person
"I"; all is told/filtered through the storyteller's perception, an character
in the story, but not always the main character. Can know the
thoughts/feelings of the narrator (the "I") but no others.
2nd person- you or your
Third Person Omniscient
Use of third person pronouns (he/she/they), no "I" except in dialogue. All
knowing, like God; can get more than one, often many characters' thoughts
and feelings, as well as their actions and words. Perspective is not limited
to any one character, can perceive in many different vantage points.
Third Person Limited Omniscient
3rd person pronouns again, but perspective is limited to ONE character's
thoughts, feelings, vantage point. Can not know anything in story other than
what the one character knows.
Match the sentence with the correct point of view:
_____ 1. John went to bed.
_____ 2. Walking into the room, I went to bed.
_____ 3. “I went to bed,” said Adam.
_____ 4. Go to bed.

(Label 1st person, 2nd person, third person limited, third person ominiscent)
1. I can admit that I was scared, transferring to a new school, not knowing
anyone. Seventh grade. I mulled it over. “Seventh grade is going to be
different,” I thought, nervously.
Seventh grade is different. I remember what my brother used to say to
me. “Kev,” he would remark, knowing I would rather him use my full first
name, “when you’re in the sixth grade, you’re basically still an elementary
schooler. In eight grade, you’re looking forward to high school. But in the
seventh grade, you are just there. You know who you are. There is no reason
to try to be anything different.”
I knew he was right. Seventh grade is probably the last year of “childhood.”
Eighth graders don’t go trick-or-treating. There aren’t a lot of fifteen and
sixteen-year-olds spending the night at their best friend’s house,
pretending to be FBI agents, sneaking around the neighborhood chasing make-
believe criminals.
“Kevin Von Maxey,” called the teacher.
“Here,” I called back.
And with that, I began the final year of my youth.
2. It was this summer that your parents moved to Florida because of your
father’s new job as the director of a software company that creates and
distributes computer programs to businesses all over the country. You didn’t
want to leave. But you know that you had to.
“Kevin Von Maxey,” calls the teacher.
You hear her. But you don’t want to answer.
“Kevin Von Maxey,” she calls again, this time louder as she scans the room
for a response.
“Here,” you say. You put your head back down on your desk and think about
how the first day would have been back at your old school in West Virginia.
3. The teacher began to call roll. Kevin put his head down into his folded
arms on the desk.
“You’re new here, right?” asked April. Her pretty red locks fell onto her
face.
“Yes.”
“Where are you from?” she inquired. The teacher shot a glance in their
direction to quiet the conversation. April looked away from Kevin, giggling,
pretending to be paying attention to the lesson.
“West Virginia,” he whispered in reply, smiling and turning his head towards
her. The teacher looked their way again. Immediately, they straightened up,
like soldiers standing guard. Finally, a smirk appeared on his face. They
broke out in laughter together.
4. The teacher began to call roll. Kevin put his head down on his desk,
closing his eyes, thinking about what the first day must be like at his old
school back in West Virginia.
“You’re new here, right?” April inquired. Her pretty red locks fell onto her
face.
Kevin’s heart jumped. “Is she talking to me?” he thought. He noticed her
smile and her wide brown eyes.
“Yes,” he replied. April looked down quickly and then back at him again.
The teacher shot a glance in their direction to quiet the conversation. They
stifled laughter.
“Maybe I’ll like the seventh grade after all,” Kevin thought.

Lesson 12 –Main Idea and Supporting Detail
1. Despite the hatred that most people feel toward cockroaches, they do help
humans in several ways. For example, they are perfect experimental animals
and are used for scientific research in the laboratory. Breeding them is
easy, for they thrive under almost any conditions. In studies on nutrition
and food, cockroaches are good subjects because they will eat any kind of
food. They can be used to study heart disease, and cancer researchers work
with roaches because they grow cancerous tumors like those that are found in
humans.

2. About 300 million years ago, long before dinosaurs ruled the earth, the
cockroach already had been here for a long time. We can only guess at why it
has not become extinct, but the physical assets of the cockroach provide a
major reason for its survival. The cockroach's body is very flat, allowing
it to slip into tiny cracks and crevices, and its six strong running legs
give it unmatched powers of escape. Two small feelers detect movements and
changes in air currents, thus warning the insect of approaching danger. The
cockroach's two large eyes are made up of hundreds of tiny, separate eyes
which are very good for seeing movements - an ability that helps a roach
escape its enemies.

3. Making a study schedule is one important step in becoming a successful
student in college. Students should schedule one hour of study time for
every one hour of class time. At exam time, more study time may be
necessary. Also, students must study in an appropriate place. It is
important to study in a quiet place away from the distraction of other
people and such things as the television and the radio. Students should find
a comfortable place with plenty of space for all the necessary study
supplies. Then, students need to study the information in small amounts. It
is a good idea to learn the required concepts slowly and thoroughly instead
of trying to learn everything on the evening before the exam. Students who
want to be successful in college should remember these three helpful study
strategies.

4. Every game from the latest multimedia games to old favorites like cards
and chess can be played on home computers. Home computers are used to
balance family finances, to complete banking transactions, and even to do
the grocery shopping. Those computers which are equipped with a modem allow
users to go "online" to "chat" with others -- that is, people can have a
conversation on the computer about anything from being in love to getting
medical advice. And of course students use home computers to type up school
reports, to research their papers for classes and even to do the
calculations for math homework.

5. Television can be an excellent teacher for everyone from very young
children to the oldest of viewers. Television entertains young children with
sights and songs. Television provides company for older viewers who are
stuck at home with no one to talk to. New immigrants can learn English just
by turning on the television. All viewers can keep informed on the latest
events around the world by watching the news. While there are many great
things about television, there are also many bad things. Over time,
television shows have begun to show more and more violence, death and
murder. The bad language and profanity on some shows make them unsuitable
for families. The number of shows which deal with sex outside of marriage
also shocks many viewers. And these terrible scenes are sometimes copied by
young, impressionable viewers.

6. Southern California is known for its tourist attractions and its theme
parks. People come from all over the world to get a look at Hollywood, and
such things as the "Walk of Fame" where many celebrities’ names are found on
gold stars on Hollywood Boulevard. Tourists are also attracted to the area
with hopes of catching sight of the movie stars who live in the hills
surrounding Los Angeles. Many visitors come to shop in the glamorous shops
on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. Among the theme parks that attract visitors
are Disneyland in Anaheim, Knott’s Berry Farm, Magic Mountain Amusement
Park, and Raging Waters park. Folks who want to combine tourist attractions
and theme parks can visit Universal Studios which offers both.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

These three to me,
So blind to someone
I must be.

Poets to come! orators, singers, musicians to come!
Not to-day is to justify me and answer what I am for,
But you, a new brood, native, athletic, continental, greater than
before known,
Arouse! for you must justify me.
I myself but write one or two indicative words for the future,
I but advance a moment only to wheel and hurry back in the darkness.
I am a man who, sauntering along without fully stopping, turns a
casual look upon you and then averts his face,
Leaving it to you to prove and define it,
Expecting the main things from you.

Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty light:
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
Ring out the grief that saps the mind,
For those that here we see no more;
Ring out the feud of rich and poor,
Ring in redress to all mankind.
Ring out a slowly dying cause,
And ancient forms of party strife;
Ring in the nobler modes of life,
With sweeter manners, purer laws.
Ring out the want, the care, the sin,
The faithless coldness of the times;
Ring out, ring out my mournful rhymes,
But ring the fuller minstrel in.
Ring out false pride in place and blood,
The civic slander and the spite;
Ring in the love of truth and right,
Ring in the common love of good.
Ring out old shapes of foul disease;
Ring out the narrowing lust of gold;
Ring out the thousand wars of old,
Ring in the thousand years of peace.
Ring in the valiant man and free,
The larger heart, the kindlier hand;
Ring out the darkness of the land,
Ring in the Christ that is to be.

Lesson 15:Themes
Directions: Identify the themes within the text.
1. Yo, dwellin in the past, flashbacks when I was young
Whoever thought that I'd have a baby girl and three sons
I'm goin through this difficult stage I find it hard to believe
Why my old Earth had so many seeds
But she's an old woman, and due to me I respect that
I saw life for what it's really worth and took a step back
Family ain't family no more, we used to play ball
Eggs after school, eat grits cause we was poor
Grab the pliers for the channel, fix the hanger on the TV
Rockin each others pants to school wasn't easy
We survived winters, snotty nosed with no coats
We kept it real, but the older brother still had jokes
Sadly, daddy left me at the age of six
I didn't know nuttin but mommy neatly packed his shit
She cried, and grandma held the family down
I guess mommy wasn't strong enough, she just went down
Check it, fifteen of us in a three bedroom apartment
Roaches everywhere, cousins and aunts was there
Four in the bed, two at the foot, two at the head
I didn't like to sleep with Jon-Jon he peed the bed
Seven o'clock, pluckin roaches out the cereal box
Some shared the same spoon, watchin saturday cartoons
Sugar water was our thing, every meal was no thrill
In the summer, free lunch held us down like steel
And there was days I had to go to Tex house with a note
Stating "Gloria can I borrow some food I'm dead broke"
So embarrasin I couldn't stand to knock on they door
My friends might be laughin, I spent stamps in stores
Mommy where's the toilet paper, use the newspaper
Look Ms. Rose gave us a couch, she's the neighbor
Things was deep, my whole youth was sharper than cleats
Two brothers with muscular dystrophy, it killed me
But I remember this, mom's would lick her finger tips
To wipe the cold out my eye before school wit her spit
Case worker had her runnin back to face to face
I caught a case, housin tried to throw us out of our place
Sometimes I look up at the stars and analyze the sky
And ask myself was I meant to be here... why?
Yeah, yo
2. Shorty I'm there for you anytime you need me
For real girl, it's me in your world, believe me
Nuttin make a man feel better than a woman
Queen with a crown that be down for whatever
There are few things that's forever, my lady
We can make war or make babies
Back when I was nothin
You made a brother feel like he was somethin
That's why I'm with you to this day boo no frontin
Even when the skies were gray
You would rub me on my back and say "Baby it'll be okay"
Now that's real to a brother like me baby
Never ever cheat on me, keep it tight aight
And I'ma walk these dogs so we can live
In a luxurious crib with thousands of kids
Word life you don't need a ring to be my wife
Just be there for me and I'ma make sure we
Be livin in the lap of luxury
I'm realizing that you didn't have to mess wit me
But you did, now I'm going all out kid
And I got mad love to give, you my friend
3. Boys and girls wanna hear a true story?
Saturday night was at this real wild party,
they had the liquor overflowin' the cup,
about 5-6 strippers tryin to work for a buck,
and I took one girl outside wit me,
her name was Lonni, she went to Jr. High wit me,
I said, Why you up in there dancin' for cash?
I guess a whole lots changed since I seen you last
She said,
chorus:
what would you do if your son was at home,
cryin' all alone on the bedroom floor
cuz he's hungry, and the only way to feed him
is to sleep with a man for a
little bit of money and his daddy's gone,
somewhere smokin' rock now,
in and out of lock down,
I ain't got a job now,
so for you this is just a good time but for me this is what
I call life, mmm
Verse 2:
girl you ain't the only one wit a baby,
that's no excuse to be livin' all crazy,
then she looked me right square in the eye,
and said every day I wake up hopin' to die,
she said-man I know about pain cuz,
me and my sister ran away so my daddy couldn't rape us,
before I was a teenager I been through all dis stuff
you can't even relate to...
