the author most likely included the information about the
principal's and teachers' reactions in order to
read the passage from "initiation."
it would be rather fun for a change, millicent mused, getting
her books out of her locker in the hall, rather exciting to be
part of a closely knit group, the exclusive set at lansing
high. of course, it wasn't a school organization. in fact, the
principal, mr. cranton, wanted to do away with initiation
week altogether, because he thought it was undemocratic
and disturbed the routine of school work. but there wasn't
really anything he could do about it. sure, the girls had to
come to school for five days without any lipstick on and
without curling their hair, and of course everybody noticed

Read the passage from sugar changed the world. sugar is different from honey. it offers a stronger sweet flavor, and like steel or plastic, it had to be invented. in the age of sugar, europeans bought a product made thousands of miles away that was less expensive than the honey from down the road. that was possible only because sugar set people in motion all across the world—millions of them as slaves, in chains; a few in search of their fortunes. a perfect taste made possible by the most brutal labor: that is the dark story of sugar. how does the comparison of sugar to honey reveal the authors’ purpose? it persuades readers that sugar tastes better than honey. it informs readers that there is a connection between slavery and sugar. it informs readers that honey had a major impact on society. it persuades readers that sugar is as important an invention as steel.
