I could have given up, but I thought about my grandmother. She always told me that "people who believe that science is the answer to everything are missing out on everything else." With her words in mind, I searched some more. There were many facts that hinted that dragons may not be fictional. I noticed that cultures across the world all described dragons in similar ways. This was odd because they had no way to communicate with each other. I found dragons mentioned in more than just stories. They appeared in old legal papers, in the travel logs of Marco Polo, and in the Bible. I saw that the Chinese calendar uses a different animal each year. Dragons are included along with eleven real animals. I began to believe it was a real possibility that all of these people were talking about a creature that actually existed.

"Hang the boy, can't I never learn anything? Ain't he played me tricks enough like that for me to be looking out for him by this time? But old fools is the biggest fools there is. Can't learn an old dog new tricks, as the saying is. But my goodness, he never plays them alike, two days, and how is a body to know what's coming? He 'pears to know just how long he can torment me before I get my dander up, and he knows if he can make out to put me off for a minute or make me laugh, it's all down again and I can't hit him a lick. I ain't doing my duty by that boy, and that's the Lord's truth, goodness knows. Spare the rod and spile the child, as the Good Book says. I'm a laying up sin and suffering for us both, I know. He's full of the Old Scratch, but laws-a-me! he's my own dead sister's boy, poor thing, and I ain't got the heart to lash him, somehow. Every time I let him off, my conscience does hurt me so, and every time I hit him my old heart most breaks. Well-a-well, man that is born of woman is of few days and full of trouble, as the Scripture says, and I reckon it's so. He'll play hookey this evening, and I'll just be obleeged to make him work, tomorrow, to punish him. It's mighty hard to make him work Saturdays, when all the boys is having holiday, but he hates work more than he hates anything else, and I've got to do some of my duty by him, or I'll be the ruination of the child."

Review the claim Joshua makes, as well as the reasoning he cites to support it.

According to Library Director Sarah Tomlinson, whom I interviewed on May 6, the budget cuts will force the library to discontinue many popular programs and services.

Is Joshua's reasoning sound?


A.Yes, Joshua's reasoning is sound because he has adopted the position of a knowledgeable expert.


B.Yes, Joshua's reasoning is sound because it uses a valid source to show that the library will have to cut services that benefit the entire community.


C.No, Joshua's reasoning is not sound because he hasn't asked every member of the community whether they use library services.


D.No, Joshua's reasoning is not sound because Sarah Tomlinson is not an expert on library funding.

Slightly embarrassed, I tried to pull away but her grip held me. I let her have her way as she led me down the hallway with her mother right behind me. . . . Carolyn waved again.

Soto lists a series of events to present guidelines on how to live in a multicultural society. Soto relates a story from his life to make a point about what it means to live in a multicultural society. Soto uses a cause-and-effect format to show how a person’s heritage can limit his or her marriage choices.

How does Cry, the Beloved Country, by Alan Paton, reflect the cultural experiences of South Africans in the late 1940s?

Through its depiction of Absalom’s and Gertrude’s fall from grace into sin, the novel describes the way in which many rural families failed to protect their children from the dangers of the city.

By describing the brutal murder of Arthur Jarvis, the novel reflects the deep hatred that nonwhite South Africans felt toward white South Africans in Johannesburg.

By depicting the unbreakable bond between Kumalo and John, the novel captures the unique importance of brotherhood within South African culture.

Through its descriptions of the shantytowns around Johannesburg, Cry, the Beloved Country accurately presents the poverty, crime, and injustices that nonwhite South Africans experienced at this time.
