Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter 1, excerpt By Lewis Carroll

Suddenly she came upon a little three-legged table, all made of solid glass; there was nothing on it except a tiny golden key, and Alice's first thought was that it might belong to one of the doors of the hall; but, alas! either the locks were too large, or the key was too small, but at any rate it would not open any of them. However, on the second time round, she came upon a low curtain she had not noticed before, and behind it was a little door about fifteen inches high: she tried the little golden key in the lock, and to her great delight it fitted!

Alice opened the door and found that it led into a small passage, not much larger than a rat-hole: she knelt down and looked along the passage into the loveliest garden you ever saw. How she longed to get out of that dark hall, and wander about among those beds of bright flowers and those cool fountains, but she could not even get her head though the doorway; "and even if my head would go through," thought poor Alice, "it would be of very little use without my shoulders. Oh, how I wish I could shut up like a telescope! I think I could, if I only know how to begin." For, you see, so many out-of-the-way things had happened lately, that Alice had begun to think that very few things indeed were really impossible.

How does this scene develop the idea that Alice is not the same size as the world she is in? Use specific information and lines from the text to write your answer.

It was said that my new york license plates would arouse interest and perhaps questions, since they were the only outward identifying marks i had. and so they did – perhaps twenty or thirty times in the whole trip. but such contacts followed an invariable pattern, somewhat as follows: local man: “new york, huh? ” me: "yep." local man: “i was there in nineteen thirty-eight – or was it thirty-nine? alice, was it thirty-eight or thirty-nine we went to new york? " alice: "it was thirty-six. i remember because it was the year alfred died.” local man: "anyway, i hated it. wouldn't live there if you paid me.” what is the purpose of this conversation in travels with charley? to show that most people in the united states hate new york to show that most people in the united states visit new york to show that most people do not treat the author differently because he is from new york to show that being from new york disrupts the author’s relationships with the people he meets

Padma has written a paper on the effects of the black death, a plague that struck europe in 1347 and killed millions of people. she focused on three major results of the plague: • a smaller population after the plague led to higher wages and greater independence for workers. • the power of the catholic church weakened because so many members had died and others had lost their faith. • a lack of farm workers led more people to raise livestock rather than planting crops, changing the european diet. read her conclusion: it does not seem right to say that an experience as horrifying as the black death had any “good” sides. still, the changes that followed the plague improved the lives of peasants. people who had previously lived in poverty, forced to work for a single employer, now had higher wages and the freedom to change jobs. even so, the continent had been devastated and would take many years to recover. which statement best evaluates her conclusion? a. the conclusion effectively summarizes all the writer’s main points. b. the conclusion is engaging, but it introduces an unnecessary new idea. c. the conclusion is engaging, but only summarizes one of the writer’s points. d. the conclusion is engaging but it does not summarize any of the writer’s main points.
