Part I
A. Mr. Know All\ W. Somerset Maugham
1) He is extremely annoyed because he wanted to share a room with a
British Gentleman and Kelada is not a British name.
2) The narrator could not walk on the deck of the ship without Mr. Kelada
joining him.
3) 4. She is a modest woman.
4) At the end of the story the narrator saw that Mr. Kelada sacrificed
his reputation because he did not want to hurt Mrs. Ramsay. This act
makes the narrator respect Mr. Kelada.
5) a. Thinking skill I chose: Inferring
From the discussion about the pearls we learn the Mr. Ramsay loves to
argue and pretends to know things he doesn’t. We also learn that he is
stubborn and that he doesn’t know his wife and doesn’t notice how she
feels.
b. I chose this thinking skill because I inferred Mr. Ramsay's
characteristics from his actions and behavior during the argument.
6) a. Mrs. Ramsay says this because she doesn’t want her husband to bet
on her necklace and tries to talk him out of it. She is afraid that he will
discover that the necklace is real and that it was given to her by her
lover.
2
b. At this point in the story we can see that there is more to Mrs.
Ramsay than meets the eye. She is not the perfect and honest woman the
narrator described and we can see that she has her secrets.
B. A Summer's Reading\ Bernard Malamud
7) 1. He doesn’t have any money to spend.
2. He doesn’t have an education.
8) 4. He only speaks to Mr. Kelada.
9) He goes to the park because there he can be alone and dream about a
better life.
10) I think that George is talking about an education he can use in real
life. He wants to learn from someone who has life experience about how
to be a respectable person and have a good life.
11) a. Thinking skill I used: Explaining cause and effect.
George feels alone in his home and has no one to talk to about his life. His
mother passed away and his sister and father work all day. As a result he
has no one to motivate him to improve his life.
b. I used this thinking school because I saw the effect that George's
relationship with his family has on his life and his lack of action.
12) a. Sophie functions like a mother to George. She works, supports her
family and gives George an allowance. Sophie is the person who
3
encourages George to read books and later gets angry with him for lying
about it.
b. Sophie's opinion of George changes during the story. In the
beginning she thinks that George can succeed in life and so encourages
him to read. When she finds out he was lying about the books she thinks
he is a lazy bum who expects other people to take care of him.

Part II
C. Thank You, Ma'am\ Langston Hughes
13) 3. Roger fell on the ground and Mrs. Jones kicked him
14) Mrs. Jones takes him to her house by force.
15) Roger is worried that Mrs. Jones will call the police.
16) a. Thinking skill I chose: Distinguishing different perspectives
It is important for Roger to remember the meeting with Mrs. Jones
because he learns a lesson that changes his life. He learns that stealing is
wrong and never to do it again.
b. I chose this thinking skill because Roger's perspective changes
after his meeting with Mrs. Jones. In the beginning he thinks he can steal
to get what he wants but in the end he realizes it is wrong.
17) a. We can understand that there is no one to take care of Roger at
home. He has nobody to teach him right from wrong and that is why he
tries to steal.
b. I think that Mrs. Jones sees herself in Roger and that is why she
doesn’t want him to make the same mistakes that she did. She doesn’t
want him to be a criminal and gives him a sense of home and family.

Part III- Bridging Text and Context
18) The Treasure of Lemon Brown\ Walter Dean Myers
The main character of the story is Greg who has a problem with his
grades in Math. His father won't let him play basketball until he improves
his grades. Greg understands what his father is trying to do after he
meets Lemon Brown. The lesson that Greg learns from Lemon Brown is
that his father loves him and wants him to succeed. The story talks about
universal values like what the treasure in life is or father-son
relationships. These lessons are interesting for everyone, especially
teenagers.
19) Count That Day Lost\ George Elliot
In a society where there are many problems and people have difficulties
every person can make a difference. The poem shows how people can
improve society. It says that a person should be nice and helpful to other
people in any way possible. A person can help others and make them feel
better by doing something or by saying something helpful or even just by
6
looking at others in a kind way. But a person who doesn't care and doesn't
do anything to make life better for others each day is wasting his / her
life, and can count that day lost.
