Annotate and paraphrase:
this a trash can chained to a gate,
this is my father with his eyes half-closed.
this a photograph of my sister
and a giraffe looking over her shoulder.
this is our car's front bumper.
this is a bird with a pretzel in its beak.
this is my brother pedro standing on one leg on a rock.
with a smear of chocolate on his face.
mama sneezed when she looked
behind the camera: the snapshots are blurry,
the angles dizzy as a spin on a merry-go-round.
but we had fun when mama picked up the camera.
how can i tell?
each of us laughing hard.
can you see: i have candy in my mouth.

Read the excerpt from the code book. without much hope of a theoretical breakthrough, cryptanalysts have been forced to look for a technological innovation. if there is no obvious way to reduce the number of steps required for factoring, then cryptanalysts need a technology that will perform these steps more quickly. silicon chips will continue to get faster as the years pass, doubling in speed roughly every eighteen months, but this is not enough to make a real impact on the speed of factoring—cryptanalysts require a technology that is billions of times faster than current computers. consequently, cryptanalysts are looking toward a radically new form of computer, the quantum computer. if scientists could build a quantum computer, it would be able to perform calculations with such enormous speed that it would make a modern supercomputer look like a broken abacus. the author’s purpose in this paragraph is to convince the readers to pursue a career in analysis. explain the need for faster technology in cryptanalysis. entertain with interesting stories about supercomputers. argue for more money to develop a quantum computer.
