excerpt from "the inchcape rock"
by robert southey

the buoy of the inchcape bell was seen,
a darker spot on the ocean green;
sir ralph the rover walked his deck
and he fixed his eye on the darker speck.

he felt the cheering power of spring,—
it made him whistle, it made him sing;
his heart was mirthful to excess,
but the rover’s mirth was wickedness.

his eye was on the inchcape float.
quoth he, “my men, put out the boat
and row me to the inchcape rock,
and i’ll plague the abbot of aberbrothok.”

the boat is lowered, the boatmen row,
and to the inchcape rock they go;
sir ralph bent over from the boat,
and he cut the bell from the inchcape float.

down sank the bell with a gurgling sound;
the bubbles rose and burst around.
quoth sir ralph, “the next who comes to the rock
won’t bless the abbot of aberbrothok.”

Checklist imagine that your local library has invited community members to submit proposals for a fundraiser. you are the student representative on the committee to choose the best proposal. read the two proposals, paying close attention to their similarities and differences. consider whether or not each proposal is logistically feasible, which fundraiser will most appeal to members of your community, and which fundraiser will likely raise more money. which proposal do you think the committee should choose? write an essay in which you make a case for your choice. support your argument with references to specific details in each proposal. proposal 1: the best way to get people invested in the library is to show them the joy of reading. for that reason, the library should hold a book sale. people could donate books that they no longer want, and the librarians could find books that the library no longer needs. volunteers would need to sort the books into categories and arrange them in an inviting way, like at a bookstore. books should be inexpensive so people will buy more of them – maybe fifty cents for paperbacks and two dollars for hardcover books. a book sale would appeal to people of all ages, from little kids to older people. there should also be a table where people can sign up for library cards. that way, if visitors do not find any books they want at the sale, they can come back to the library. proposal 2: a great way to make money for the library would be holding a car wash. the softball team at my school raised over $400 at their car wash last year! the car wash could be held in the library parking lot on a saturday morning. you could ask local high school students to volunteer to wash the cars. that would be a great way to get students involved with the library. it takes two or three volunteers to wash a car quickly, so you would need at least ten volunteers. you could charge around ten dollars per car. even people who are not very interested in reading like to have a clean car, so you would get a lot of people to stop by who might not otherwise come to a library fundraiser.
