Part I
A. A Summer's Reading\ Bernard Malamud
1) a. His mother passed away.
b. His father worked at the fish market.
2) George likes Mr. Cattanzara because he gave him money as a child.
3) I agree with Sophie. George lied about reading the books to make
people respect him more. When she realizes this Sophie decides to stop
giving him money. George isn’t doing anything to improve his life or change
his situation.
4) a. TK I chose: explaining patterns
George has no successful role models to look up to. His family is poor and
so in everybody in his neighborhood. He knows that because no one around
him is successful that he doesn’t have a chance to be successful too. That
is why he gave up on school so easily and doesn’t try to improve his life.
b. I chose this TK because there is a pattern to the people in George's
neighborhood. All of them didn’t get an education and so are poor.
5) a. I think that Mr. Cattanzara told the people in the neighborhood that
George finished reading 100 books. They still respect him because they
don’t know that he lied.
2
b. Mr. Cattanzarra knows that George needs people to respect him. He
hopes that if people still respect George it will encourage him to get an
education and succeed in life.
B. Grandmother\ Sameeneh Shirazie
6) She asked her grandmother how she felt.
7) She told her granddaughter that she washed the sheets.
8) The granddaughter wanted to cry because she realized that her
grandmother had many things to say but that nobody listened to her. The
granddaughter just meant to say hello to her grandmother and walk away.
9) a. TK I chose: Distinguishing different perspectives
By the end of the story the speaker realizes that she had taken her
grandmother for granted and that she is a real person with feelings and
emotions and not just "old life" that can be ignored.
b. I chose this TK because I distinguished between the speaker's
perspective of her grandmother at the beginning of the poem and at the
end.
10) a. We can learn that the grandmother leads a lonely life. She doesn’t
have anybody to talk to during the day.
b. We can infer that grandparents are usually the least important
people in the family because they are old and are not involved in family
life.

C. As I Grew Older\ Langston Hughes
11) He had a dream.
12) He could not fulfill his dream.
13) The image of light is a metaphor for the dream and how the speaker
longs for it and wants to fulfill it. The image of darkness is a metaphor
for how he can't fulfill his dream because he is a black man.
14) a. TK I chose: Inferring
The poem is optimistic because in the end the speaker talks about how he
is going to use his hands to break the wall and fulfill his dream. He will
fight for his dream and not just lie in the shadow.
b. I chose this TK because I inferred the speaker's meaning from the
images he uses in the final stanza.
15) a. The speaker's hands represent his power as a writer and an artist
and they are what he will use the change his situation in life.
b. The effect of breaking the wall will be equality between blacks and
whites and an end to racism.

Part II
D. All My Sons\ Arthur Miller
16) She wants to find out if it is possible that Larry is still alive.
17) Anne will not tell anyone that she knows about Joe's crime if Mother
will let Chris marry her.
18) He means that the relationship between a parent and their child is
the most important thing and that a child should be loyal to their father
no matter what happens.
19) a. TK I chose: Distinguishing different perspectives
Joe thought that Larry was a practical man who understood business and
that sometimes you can't be ethical or moral but he was wrong. Larry
killed himself because he couldn’t accept that his father was so unethical
and dishonest.
b. I chose this TK because I distinguished between Joe's perspective
of Larry and how Larry really was.
20) a. Joe says that he wants to offer Steve a job so that he won't be
angry when he gets out of jail and cause problems for Chris and Anne's
marriage.
b. Joe feels guilty about sending Steve to jail and wants to make up
for it by offering him a job.

E. The Wave\ Morton Rhue
21) Robert had more self-confidence as a result of the Wave.
22) It would create the impression that Ben was a real leader and real
leaders have bodyguards.
23) I think the students will have more respect for Ben because he
taught them a valuable lesson about fascism, critical thinking and peer
pressure. Ben also had the courage to end the experiment when he saw
that it had gone too far.
24) a. TK I chose: Distinguishing different perspectives
The other student liked the Wave because it gave them a feeling of
power and belonging to something greater than themselves. The students
in the Wave don’t see it as a bad thing because they think they are all
equal when in fact they are being controlled. It is harder to be an
individual than to follow other blindly.
b. I chose this TK because I distinguished between Laurie and David's
views of the Wave to that of the rest of the students.
25) a. Ben liked the feeling of power he had over the students. He
became obsessed with the Wave and didn’t see it was dangerous. He
fantasized about becoming famous and being in Time magazine.
b. Ben didn’t realize how much people want a leader which they can
follow blindly without thinking for themselves.

Part III- Bridging Text and Context
26) Rules of the Game\ Amy Tan
This quote adds to my understanding of "Rules of the Game" because it
helps me understand the values of Chinese immigrant parents and why
they behave the way they do in the story. In many places in the story we
have examples of Chinese immigrant parents who teach their children to
be strong and not to give in to their emotions/are very strict with their
children:
Examples:
•
Waverly doesn't get the plums until she hides the fact that she
wants them so much.
•
One Chinese mother slaps her child for showing his disappointment
with his Christmas gift.
•
The fact that Waverley has learned from her mother to hide her
weaknesses is the reason she is so successful at chess.
•
Waverly's mother becomes furious at Waverly and stops talking to
her when Waverly expresses her anger to her mother.
The examples above show that strength is the most important quality
Chinese immigrant parents want for their children. This is what the quote
tells us.

27) The Enemy\ Pearl S. Buck
This quote tells us that Buck wrote about the things that all human beings
have in common despite living in different parts of the world, speaking
different languages, and growing up in different cultures. We see this in
"The Enemy" in Sadao, the doctor. Although he is Japanese and the
soldier American – not only different but an enemy – Sadao takes care of
him because he sees him as a person in need of help, which is more
important than the fact that the soldier is American. That is the story's
message: that we are all "human beings on this earth", before we are
Japanese or American.
