The coming of the Green Knight

Now I will say no more of the service, but that ye may know there was no lack, for there drew near a venture that the folk might well have left their labour to gaze upon. As the sound of the music ceased, and the first course had been fitly served, there came in at the hall door one terrible to behold, of stature greater than any on earth; from neck to loin so strong and thickly made, and with limbs so long and so great that he seemed even as a giant. And yet he was but a man, only the mightiest that might mount a steed; broad of chest and shoulders and slender of waist, and all his features of like fashion; but men marvelled much at his colour, for he rode even as a knight, yet was green all over.

The fashion of the knight

For he was clad all in green, with a straight coat, and a mantle above; all decked and lined with fur was the cloth and the hood that was thrown back from his locks and lay on his shoulders. Hose had he of the same green, and spurs of bright gold with silken fastenings richly worked; and all his vesture was verily green. Around his waist and his saddle were bands with fair stones set upon silken work, 'twere too long to tell of all the trifles that were embroidered thereon–birds and insects in gay gauds of green and gold.

What is the best description of the mood created by the setting of this passage?

A) Humorous, because the knight was not invited to the party
B) Peaceful, because the knight brought a sense of calm to the party
C) Threatening, because the knight showed up suddenly to the party
D) Uplifting, because the knight who showed up is interesting and glamorous

Help pls! A Change of Plans
Azure Westin

David and his mother walked down the sidewalk. They had a tradition of going to the park every Saturday morning. They enjoyed these trips and tried not to miss them. However, the past three weekends their family had other plans, so they had to miss their weekly visit.

“I’m so glad we’re going to the park today,” David said. He nearly ran down the sidewalk with his soccer ball in his hands. I think Miguel and Steve will be there, and we can practice our soccer dribbling.”

David decided to show off and started bouncing the ball on his knees while he walked. His mother laughed, but warned him to pay attention to where he was walking. Suddenly, they both heard a large crash, and David jumped with fright. Then they saw a huge flash in the sky. A thunderstorm was developing nearby. David’s mother explained that it was too dangerous to be out walking or at the park, so they would have to go home.

“But mom!” David exclaimed. “I haven’t been to the park in nearly a month. I’ll never be a star soccer player if I don’t make time to practice.”

“Sorry, David,” she said. “I was looking forward to our visit too, but we can’t take a risk with this dangerous weather.”

David huffed, and turned around to walk back home. Crash! They heard another crash of thunder, and they both started walking even more quickly home. Just then, a cold wind swept passed them, blowing a layer of leaves and dirt off the sidewalk. The air cooled quickly, and they both realized the storm was moving directly toward them.

“Let’s run, so we make it home before it starts to rain,” his mother said.

David and his mother ran quickly down the sidewalk, occasionally looking at the gray clouds forming overhead. Finally, they reached their house and ran up the steps. Just as David’s mother put the key in the door, a few large raindrops began to hit the pavement. She opened the door, they ran inside, and then the rain began to pour down.

David looked out the window in amazement - the rain was falling so hard that it was hard to see the street in front of his house. Then he saw white specks coming down from the sky and bouncing off the pavement.

“Oh my! It’s hailing!” his mother said.

David had never seen anything like it before, so he looked closely at the white specks on the ground.

“Is that ice lying on the ground?” David asked.

“Yes,” said his mother. “Even though it’s warm and summerlike here on the ground, the atmosphere can be really cold - cold enough to make ice. When that happens, a thunderstorm can make hail in the sky and then it falls as a type of precipitation -
similar to snow and rain.”

David could hardly believe what his mother was telling him. He asked if he could do some research about hail on the computer. David then learned that hail forms when raindrops are pushed higher in the atmosphere, where it is cold. The raindrops freeze high in the atmosphere. Then, the frozen drops collide with other drops, forming larger balls. David then ran outside and collected some of the pieces of hail, which had begun to melt, and put them in the freezer.

“I want to keep a few samples,” said David. “Did you know that some hail can be as large as baseballs?”

David’s mother smiled as he read her additional facts from the articles he had read. She noticed that the sun was shining outside. She walked to the widow and looked up at the sky and realized that the storm had passed. She suggested that she and David go back to the park so he could practice his soccer skills.

“Let’s try that again next week,” David said. “I like that we had a change of plans today.”

CHAPTER II-THE SHE-WOLF, an excerpt
From White Fang
By Jack London

Breakfast eaten and the slim camp-outfit lashed to the sled, the men turned their backs on the cheery fire and launched out into the darkness. At once began to rise the cries that were fiercely sad-cries that called through the darkness and cold to one another and answered back. Conversation ceased. Daylight came at nine o'clock. At midday the sky to the south warmed to rose-colour, and marked where the bulge of the earth intervened between the meridian sun and the northern world. But the rose-colour swiftly faded. The grey light of day that remained lasted until three o'clock, when it, too, faded, and the pall of the Arctic night descended upon the lone and silent land.

As darkness came on, the hunting-cries to right and left and rear drew closer-so close that more than once they sent surges of fear through the toiling dogs, throwing them into short-lived panics.

At the conclusion of one such panic, when he and Henry had got the dogs back in the traces, Bill said:

"I wisht they'd strike game somewheres, an' go away an' leave us alone."

"They do get on the nerves horrible," Henry sympathized.

They spoke no more until camp was made.

Read these paragraphs and answer the question that follows:

In 2008, more than one million American students gave nearly 20 million service hours to their communities. They made a difference in people's lives and learned some important life lessons in the process. Organizations, including schools, are actively promoting service for all citizens as a way to be involved, help others, and improve themselves.
Service is helping other people and being active in your community. For example, one group of teens planted a community garden with their friends. They grow a variety of vegetables. The garden requires regular care. The teens donate the produce to a local soup kitchen. Workers there use the produce to help feed people in the community. By tending the garden and donating their produce, the teens are actively helping make life a bit better for others in their community.
Service is valuable in ways that cannot be measured in dollars. People volunteer or serve others without expecting money or gifts in return. Service is not about earning money. It is not just collecting money to give to a group. It is about action and contributing to the common good. The people who serve as well as those who receive help benefit in many ways that are more important than money or gifts. For example, a soup kitchen provides essential food to people who may otherwise go hungry. The soup kitchen is extremely valuable for those struggling to get enough to eat. Those serving learn about compassion and how helping others can improve life for all.
Millions of Americans are making society better for themselves and for others. They are participating citizens in their community, raising up those who are less fortunate. In return, they become better people who can understand the perspectives and needs of others, which are invaluable and important qualities of good citizens.

And you bet you he did learn him too. He'd give him a little punch behind, and the next minute you'd see that frog whirling in the air like a doughnut--see him turn one summerset, or maybe a couple, if he got a good start, and come down flat-footed and all right, like a cat.
