My Last Roller Skating Party

In an effort to relive the good old days of youth, my friend Tim decided to throw himself a 1980s-themed party at a roller skating rink. All my college friends were going, and we decided to dress for the theme, complete with headbands, leg warmers, blue eyeshadow, and teased hair. The night of the party, everyone looked great and we all had a good time.

Then I decided to show off. About ten minutes before the party ended, I started trying moves I learned long ago when I dreamed of being an Olympic figure skater. I actually had never been good enough on the ice to get anywhere near the Olympics, but I loved skating and was pretty decent at one point. There I was at the party, spinning, twirling, and skating backward. Then I decided to bring my friend Heidi in on the fun, so I grabbed her hands and pulled her along with me as I skated backward. I was smart enough to be looking behind me to make sure I wouldn’t bump into anyone, but I was not smart enough to pay attention to my balance, which I lost.

I fell down onto the newly buffed rink floor. Before I knew what was happening, Heidi tripped and fell on top of me, and I heard a crack. I remember feeling the wind get knocked out of me, and then a rush of faces looking down asking if I was okay. My friend Kathleen, who was studying to be a nurse, asked questions to make sure I wasn’t seriously injured, and another friend called an ambulance. Since I was not yet feeling any pain, the sheer embarrassment of the moment was my main focus.

In the hospital I learned that I had broken a rib and fractured my collarbone. Kathleen had come with and assured me that I was lucky: it could have been much worse. Looking back, I have to laugh at the reaction we got from the hospital staff. Every time a new doctor or nurse walked into my room, we felt the need to explain our getups. The explanation was generally met with blank stares from people who had much more pressing concerns than what the girl in Room 3 was wearing.

I went home with strict instructions to move as little as possible for the next few weeks. Lucky for me, I was on summer break so I didn’t have to worry about school. I’d been planning to stay in my off-campus apartment and work that summer. Instead, I took a leave of absence from my job, formed a stack of books I’d been meaning to read for ages, and settled in for what would surely be some of the most boring weeks of my life. The next day, Heidi called and apologized profusely for falling on me. I thanked her but pointed out that it had been my fault that I ended up getting hurt.

“Even so, we all feel terrible that you ended up in the hospital at the end of a great party,” Heidi said. “Listen, I called a bunch of people who were there and asked if they wanted to volunteer for a meal drop-off schedule. I have your breakfast, lunch, and dinner covered for the next three weeks.” I needed a moment to process what Heidi was telling me. Next to my stack of books was a stack of menus from which I’d planned to order all of my food for the next few weeks. The thought of an all-fast food diet had made me a little nauseous, but I knew I wouldn’t be able to cook. Now my friends were coming to my rescue.

Starting the next morning, in addition to bringing amazing home-cooked meals, as well as some great take-out, my friends took turns visiting me so I didn’t get lonely. Those weeks ended up flying by. Before I knew it I was up and about again.

Eventually, my friends let me in on what a good laugh they had the night of the party – once they knew I was going to be all right, of course. As soon as my rib and collarbone healed I had a pretty good laugh about it, too. I didn’t mind that they had laughed. I decided that any group of friends willing to cook for me during summer break was allowed to laugh at me.

The doorway of the glass palace was quite big enough for the horse and buggy to enter, so Zeb drove straight through it and the children
found themselves in a lofty hall that was very beautiful. The people at once followed and formed a circle around the sides of the spacious room....
"Come to us, oh, Gwig!" called the man, in a loud voice.
Instantly a cloud of smoke appeared and rolled over the floor; then it slowly spread and ascended into the dome, disclosing a strange
personage seated upon a glass throne just before Jim's nose. He was formed just as were the other inhabitants of this land and his clothing only
differed from theirs in being bright yellow. But he had no hair at all, and all over his bald head and face and upon the backs of his hands grew sharp
thorns like those found on the branches of rose-bushes.
(from Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz by L. Frank Baum)
Which best describes the main event of the passage?
01. The palace starts burning and fills with smoke.
O 2. The children break down the door of the palace.
O 3. Jim decides to change into bright yellow clothing.

What does the sensory language above convey about Wendy?
OA. She is very nervous about pitching,
OB. She is one of the star softball players.
c. She is confident she can pitch the game.
OD. She is new to the game of softball.
Every sport Wendy played, it seemed she was
always second string, and softball was no different.
Wendy had gotten used to warming the bench, like a
sack of potatoes that just took up space. Then, the first-
string pitcher, Carrie, who could throw strikes like a
major leaguer, had gone home sick in the middle of a
game.
"Wendy, warm up that pitching arm." Coach Ramsey
had told her. She had taken the full allotted time, 20
minutes, to do just that, hoping her Jell-o legs would
steady themselves and her arm wouldn't feel like it
wasn't attached to her body. As she walked out to the
pitcher's mound, her life was suddenly a slow-motion
movie, and Wendy was the star. The only problem was
that she didn't know her lines. Rolling her shoulders
around to work the stiffness out, she held the dirt
encrusted softball in her tan leather mitt, and prayed her
arm would quit shaking as she made the pitch.
Steeriker the umpire bellowed. Wendy's
teammates on the bench rose in one fluid motion and
roared their approval, as a tentative grin spread slowly
across her face

2. Recall Noam Chomsky's speech about the role of the United States in the Vietnam War, which you analyzed in this lesson, and read the opening sentences of Chomsky's speech, below.
I think it's probably a good thing that this meeting comes at the end of a week of terror in South Vietnam. I know I was much shocked by it-I'm sure you were. It's hard to know what one can
say about the events of the past week. My own reaction is one of horror at the terrible slaughter, of awe at the amazing heroism of those who are officially designated as our enemies, of guilt that
we still permit this horror to continue. Even now, even after this week, no one doubts that in some hideous sense of the word, we can still obtain a victory--we can still win in Vietnam. But if the
men in Washington are still at all rational, they must realize that this can only be a victory of the graveyard.
What does the start of the speech tell you about Chomsky's point of view?
He believes that Vietnam as a society is not capable of choosing peace over war
He believes that the United States will win the Vietnam War soon if it stays the course.
He believes the United States is wrong to remain involved in the Vietnam War.
O He believes the Vietnam War was a good idea in the beginning but is now doomed to fall,
