Read the passage from "by the waters of babylon.' toward the setting of the eighth sun, i came to the banks of the great river. it was half-a-day's journey after i had left the god-road-we do not use the god-roads now for they are falling apart into great blocks of stone, and the forest is safer going. a long way off, i had seen the water through trees but the trees were thick. at last, i came out upon an open place at the top of a cliff. there was the great river below, like a giant in the sun. it is very long, very wide. it could eat all the streams we know and still be thirsty. its name is ou-dis-sun, the sacred, the long. no man of my tribe had seen it, not even my father, the priest. it was magic and i prayed. which details from the text best support the idea that the narrator is cautious in this new setting? select two options. 'they are falling apart into great blocks of stone, and the forest is safer going.' 'there was the great river below, like a giant in the sun. it is very long, very wide.' 'it could eat all the streams we know and still be thirsty. its name is ou-dis-sun, the sacred, the long.' 'toward the setting of the eighth sun, i came to the banks of the great river.' 'no man of my tribe had seen it, not even my father, the priest. it was magic and i prayed.'

Ask yourself all of the following questions before you even consider submitting your essay for grading. if your answer to even one of these questions is no, then you still have some work to do. does my introduction attempt to “hook” the reader? does my essay have a clear and specific thesis statement? does my essay accurately tell my story? does my essay indicate why i’m telling my story? have i described only my own experiences? have i used the first-person point of view (the pronoun “i”) throughout the essay? have i clearly indicated where paragraphs begin and end? does each of my paragraphs support my thesis statement? does my conclusion summarize and give closure to my essay? have i effectively proofread my essay? have i met the length requirement? is my essay formatted according to the instructions?

When i was young enough to still spend a long time buttoning my shoes in the morning, i'd listen toward the hall: daddy upstairs was shaving, in the bathroom, and mother downstairs was frying the bacon. they would begin whispering back and forth to each other up and down the stairwell. my father would whistle his phrase, my mother would try to whistle, then hum hers backi drew my buttonhook in and out and listened to it -know it was "the merry widow." the difference was, their song almost floated with laughter. how different from the record, which growled from the beginning, as if the victrola were only slowly being wound up. they kept it running between them, up and down the stairs where i was now just about ready to run clattering down and show them my shoes. what is the effect of the parallelism used in the above excerpt? it establishes the rhythm of a duet to echo the song. it expresses the same ideas. it mirrors opposite ideas. it is a paradox.
