Just for one riotous day,
Years of regret and grief,
Sorrow without relief.

Pay it I will to the end —
Until the grave, my friend,
Gives me a true release —
Gives me the clasp of peace.

Small was the debt I thought,
Poor was the loan at best —
God! but the interest!

SHARKS' TEETH
Langston Carter

The day we found the sharks' teeth was foggy and cool. Moisture hung in the air so thick you could almost see it sparkling in the dim sunlight. There were days, early in the summer like this one, where it seemed there was more water in the air than in the bay. We had beached the boat and stepped out on the recently cleared spit of land. The ground had a light dusting of white sand over an under layer of dried black mud. It looked like a recently frosted chocolate cake, though the frosting was spread a bit thin for my taste. The ground was solid, but we knew from experience that it was full of fiddler crab holes, and would be underwater at the first super-high tide. Mysteriously, to us anyway, someone wanted to build a house there.

We often came to these spots to look for artifacts. Our beach, our summer home, had been a fishing camp for as long as anyone living could remember. The oldest stories told of travelers coming down to the edge of the sea, lining up to fill their wagon beds with salted fish to take back home. Old decaying cabins still lined the beach. Rotting nets, hung out to dry in the last century, decorated their weathered walls. Their broken faces spun stories in our minds. The fishermen who, tanned and wrinkled from sun and salt, hauled their nets full of splashing mullet in to cheers from the waiting crowds. The bounty of the sea lightened everyone's hearts, and the smell of roasting fish filled the damp air. Women fanned themselves from wagon seats. Children splashed in the shallow edges of the bay. It was a scene we had acted out as youngsters, building an imaginary bridge to a life we would never fully know.

Which of the following correctly describes the narrator of this excerpt, "Sharks' Teeth"? (5 points)

Public Domain
1 A creative work is said to be in the public domain if there are no laws which restrict its use by the public at large. For instance, a work may be in the public domain if no laws establish proprietary rights over the work, or if the work or its subject matter are specifically excluded from existing laws.

2 Because proprietary rights are founded in national laws, an item may be public domain in one jurisdiction but not another. For instance, some works of literature are public domain in the US but not in the EU and vice versa.

3 The underlying idea that is expressed or manifested in the creation of a work generally cannot be the subject of copyright law (see idea-expression divide). Mathematical formulae will therefore generally form part of the public domain, to the extent that their expression in the form of software is not covered by copyright; however, algorithms can be the subject of a software patent in some jurisdictions.

4 Works created before the existence of copyright and patent laws also form part of the public domain. The Bible and the inventions of Archimedes are in the public domain. However, copyright may exist in translations or new formulations of these works.

5 Although "intellectual property" laws are not designed to prevent facts from entering the public domain, collections of facts organized or presented in a creative way, such as categorized lists, may be copyrighted. Collections of data with intuitive organization, such as alphabetized directories like telephone directories, are generally not copyrightable. In some countries copyright-like rights are granted for databases, even those containing mere facts. A sui generis database rights regime is in place in the European Union.

6 Works of the United States Government and various other governments are excluded from copyright law and may therefore be considered to be in the public domain in their respective countries. They may also be in the public domain in other countries as well.

7 Creative Commons [2], an organization which promotes the migration of works into the public domain as well as copyleft licensing schemes, holds that:

8 Public access to literature, art, music, and film is essential to preserving and building on our cultural heritage.

Which two phrases or sentences from the passage help the reader identify the meaning of the phrase, "proprietary rights"?

A) The creation of a work generally cannot be the subject of copyright law.


B) A sui generis database rights regime is in place in the European Union.


C) No laws which restrict its use by the public at large.


D) The Bible and the inventions of Archimedes are in the public domain.


E) Some works of literature are public domain in the US but not in the EU and vice versa.

I have a short article and down below is the link. Write a short paragraph that explains the central idea of the article. Use at least two details from the article to support your response.



Sloths are notorious for being slow, traveling a mere 0.03 kilometers (120 feet) each day. These live high up in the trees of Central and South American forests. Their slow movements may not make them that exciting to watch, but if you're a scientist who is studying them, that slowness is a big plus.

"They're actually a great study animal for the wild because you can collect a lot of data on them," says Giles Duffield. He is a biologist at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana.

A few years back, Duffield studied birds in Bolivia, but it was a lot harder to study a bird than a sloth. "You'd see some parrots and you'd make some notes and then they were gone and you wouldn't see them again for another 24 hours," he says.

Duffield and his colleagues now collect data on the brown-throated three-toed sloths that live in the Atlantic Forest in Brazil. In June 2020, Duffield reported his work studying sloths and their circadian rhythms. These are the 24 hour schedules that control the sleeping and eating patterns of animals.

A Lot Of Rest
Brown-throated three-toed sloths can stay in sight—or even in the same tree—for nearly 24 hours. They rest anywhere from 75 to 90 percent of the time, allowing scientists like Duffield to closely observe sloths in their habitat, or natural environment where it lives.

Older studies on sloths suggested that sloths could be nocturnal, which means they are active during the night and sleep during the day. Other studies showed they had no set activity pattern of waking and sleeping at all: they are active at any time during their 24-hour cycle, night or day, without any issues.

Duffield and his team, on the other hand, found that their sloths were mostly diurnal, meaning they're active during the day and sleep during the night. "So this was kind of the opposite to what we'd expected," he says.

The scientists wanted to find out why their results were so different from the conclusions that previous scientists made. One possibility is that Duffield's study was unique because the team observed the sloths over complete 24-hour cycles. They monitored the sloths this way for 29 days, providing a clearer picture of sloth behavior.

There's another difference between Duffield's work and previous research: the habitats the sloths lived in. The brown-throated three-toed sloths lived in habitats disturbed by humans, while other sloths were in undisturbed habitats.

Damaged Ecosystems
The sloth's Atlantic Forest home is in trouble, with an estimated 98 percent of its woodland being lost. The forest has been highly disturbed by humans, who have hunted its animals, cleared its trees, built many roads, and developed the land. This means that a lot of the animals and plants that once lived there are gone. The sloth's predators, the animals that would eat the sloths for food, are gone too.

Sloths may have been nocturnal to improve their chances of survival in a more challenging environment. But Duffield thinks that because their predators in the Atlantic Forest are now extinct, sloths don't have to compete with other species for food. The animals can find enough food to live during the daytime instead of mostly at night. The switch between nighttime and daytime behaviors could be the way sloths handle a damaged ecosystem. These are biological communities made up of plants, animals, and microorganisms.

"A lot of organisms can't readily change their day to night activity," he says. "Their survival strategy requires one or the other." So it may well be that change, or that association with daytime as opposed to nighttime, or not having a set activity pattern, does change some of the organisms associated with the sloth. For example, algae and insects find homes in sloth fur.

"That's something we'd love to examine," Duffield says. For this new research, Duffield's most important piece of equipment is perhaps a comfortable chair.
