Read this excerpt from Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol. How do the Ghost of Christmas Present's words affect Scrooge?
"If these shadows remain unaltered by the Future, none other of my race," returned the Ghost, "will find him here. What then? If he be like
to die, he had better do it, and decrease the surplus population."
Scrooge hung his head to hear his own words quoted by the Spirit, and was overcome with penitence and grief.
"Man" said the Ghost, "if man you be in heart, not adamant, forbear that wicked cant until you have discovered What the surplus is, and
Where it is. Will you decide what men shall live, what men shall die? It may be, that in the sight of Heaven, you are more worthless and less
fit to live than millions like this poor man's child. Oh God! to hear the Insect on the leaf pronouncing on the too much life among his hungry
brothers in the dust!"

name.

There was very much the same solemnity of demeanour on the part of the spectators; as befitted a people amongst whom religion and law were almost identical, and in whose character both were so thoroughly interfused, that the mildest and the severest acts of public discipline were alike made venerable and awful. Meagre, indeed, and cold, was the sympathy that a transgressor might look for, from such bystanders at the scaffold.

— The Scarlet Letter, Nathaniel Hawthorne

Winston's varicose ulcer ​

(25 POINTS)
He stands, looking after her, his books still under his arm, while a feeling of total displacement sweeps over him. Mechanically he opens the door; tosses his books on the seat; gets in. You're very good looking. Observing meticulously all traffic signs, all other cars on the road, all pedestrians, being careful, missing no turns. He arrives home safe and intact, and parks in the circular drive so that his father can put his car in the garage. He enters the house through the door in the garage. His mother's car is still missing. There is no one home but him. He goes straight upstairs to his bedroom without taking off his jacket; drops his books on the bed; goes in to the bathroom and turns on the light.

When should you paraphrase information instead of using a direct quote?

Nancy took a breath and gathered her thoughts. She imagined that passing through the gray-zone door into Level 4 was like a spacewalk, except that instead of going into outer space, you went into inner space, which was full of the pressure of life trying to get inside your suit. People went into Level 4 areas all the time at the Institute, particularly the civilian animal caretakers.

Read the excerpt from The Odyssey.

Now Zeus the lord of cloud roused in the north
a storm against the ships, and driving veils
of squall moved down like night on land and sea.
The bows went plunging at the gust; sails
cracked and lashed out strips in the big wind.
We saw death in that fury, dropped the yards,
unshipped the oars, and pulled for the nearest lee:
then two long days and nights we lay offshore
worn out and sick at heart, tasting our grief,
until a third Dawn came with ringlets shining.
Then we put up our masts, hauled sail, and rested,
letting the steersmen and the breeze take over.
