My next challenge was that I wanted to make things out of metal, so I became interested in how to use a lathe, a milling machine, and so on. I went to buy this new equipment I thought I'd need and met a man who had a machine shop of his own who was about to retire and move to Florida. He allowed me to visit him after school and on weekends to observe how he used all his tools. I was hooked. When he retired I bought not only all his big equipment but all his little toolboxes as well – they were treasures!

—“On Becoming an Inventor,”

why is this poem the biggest piece of junk on the planet it makes no sense

The right to make my dreams come true,
I ask, nay, I demand of life,
Nor shall fate's deadly contraband
Impede my steps, nor countermand;
Too long my heart against the ground
Has beat the dusty years around,
And now at length I rise! I wake!
And stride into the morning break!

waves that ripple through my mind touch sunkissed sugar sands of times whats the metaphor

MONARCH MAGIC

I watch with awe as you spring
Free from the prison you enclosed yourself in;
Cracking the capsule of crystal that captures
Your beautiful body and budding wings.
You push through, and nature sings.

Like sails catching a sudden gust
Those frail folded flaps unfurl;
The sun toasts them dry of their newborn dew.
They shimmer brightly in a new world;
White dots and black stripes on rust.

Before long you enjoy freedom won,
Vitalized with rest from tiresome struggle
You left behind your chrysalis husk
That kept you safely wrapped in a bundle
And race toward the distant sun.

I know just where you will go,
As you ride the breeze to the horizon.
You will meet millions and travel south
In an orange blanket that smothers the sky
Destined to find home in Mexico.

You will soon rob this land of your grace
And leave it as dull as pale elephant skin
For many months of biting wintry weather
While you dance in warm sun rays
Spreading your magic in that new place.

But someday I will meet your kin
That will bring beauty back to my tree,
Sipping sweet nectar from its new blossoms
And hanging crystalline ornaments.
Focus on this line: "You push through, and nature sings."

A) "Nature" isn't really singing, but when the butterfly emerges, it's clear something wonderful has happened.

why is the bronx masquerade a novel

Read this excerpt from "Birdfoot's Grampa.”

But, leathery hands full
of wet brown life,
knee deep in the summer
roadside grass,
he just smiled and said
they have places to go to
too.

Why does the author use the words "wet brown life” in this excerpt?

to show that the grass is still alive and growing
to indicate that the mud is all over everything
to signify how wet the night has become
to point out that the toads are living things

Ted is analyzing the sonnet “Composed upon Westminster Bridge, September 3, 1802.” As you read the sonnet, notice what the author says about urban and rural settings.

Earth has not anything to show more fair:

Dull would he be of soul who could pass by

A sight so touching in its majesty:

This City now doth, like a garment, wear

The beauty of the morning; silent, bare,

Ships, towers, domes, theatres, and temples lie

Open unto the fields, and to the sky;

All bright and glittering in the smokeless air.


Never did sun more beautifully steep

In his first splendour, valley, rock, or hill;

Ne'er saw I, never felt, a calm so deep!

The river glideth at his own sweet will:

Dear God! the very houses seem asleep;

And all that mighty heart is lying still!

Based on information in the article, which best describes the difference between the child labor rates in Nepal and Mongolia?


A.Child labor rates have increased in Mongolia since 1990, but decreased in Nepal since 1990.

B.Child labor rates have increased in Mongolia since 1990, but stayed the same in Nepal since 1990.

C.Child labor rates have increased in Nepal since 1990, but decreased in Mongolia since 1990.

D.Child labor rates have increased in Nepal since 1990, but stayed the same in Mongolia since 1990.


In 2000, there were 127 million children working in Asia. By 2004, that number had fallen to 122 million. Officials are pleased that child labor rates have dropped, but they say the decline isn't happening fast enough.

Those numbers came from a recent report from the International Labor Organization (ILO). The report focused on South Asia, which includes Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and other nations. It concluded that despite the decrease in the number of working children ages five to 14, South Asia remains a child labor hot spot.

The report discussed child labor in several nations and identified Nepal as one of the worst offenders. As of 2004, almost 40 percent of Nepalese children aged 10 to 14 were working. Many continue to do strenuous physical labor in mines, quarries, and carpet factories. Still, even in Nepal, child labor rates are declining; they had been near 50 percent in 1990.

The Philippines has improved, but problems remain in some industries. Many Filipino children still work in fireworks production, deep-sea fishing, and mining. The country has a national action plan to change this.

"The [anti-child labor] laws are all there," said Filipino Undersecretary of Labor and Employment Manuel G. Imson. Imson says that the government is working with the police to enforce these laws.

In some cases, child labor has emerged where it was previously nonexistent. There were few or no child laborers in Mongolia until 1990; today, up to 10,000 children there work in gold, coal, and mineral mines. Kh. Ganbaatar, executive director of the Mongolian Employers' Federation, blames the problem on economic changes as well as on natural disasters. Several years ago, winter storms killed millions of livestock. This made it harder for families to maintain their traditional herding way of life. Many of these families were forced to send their children to work.

In fact, child labor often develops because area families cannot make ends meet and need extra income. In other cases, parents want to send their children to school but cannot afford the related fees.

"A large number of working poor means that we have a large number of people who are unable to support children [going] to school," said Panudda Boonpala, senior child labor specialist at the ILO.

In August, government representatives from nearly 40 countries as well as workers' and employers' organizations attended an ILO conference. Topics on their agenda included migration, competitiveness, productivity, and youth employment (child labor). At a session on youth employment, participants watched a video that showed children working at a gold mine in Mongolia.

The ILO says that it will try to end some of the worst forms of child labor within 10 years. Its officials point out that attitudes about working children have changed in Asia. This is contributing to the reduction in child labor rates.

"I think 10 years ago there was lots of denial," Panudda said. Still, she said, nations will not be able to end child labor unless they are willing to put a lot of effort and funding into the fight against it.
