But, speaking of her sensibility,
She was so full of charity and pity
That if she saw a mouse caught in a trap,
And it was dead or bleeding, she would weep.
She kept some little dogs, and these she fed
On roast meat, or on milk and fine white bread.
But how she’d weep if one of them were dead,
Or if somebody took a stick to it!

Identify the passage: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their Creator, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

3. Read the article. Then answer the question.
April 18—Local high school drama participants will have a surprise audience member this year as a famous Broadway performer joins the panel of judges for the annual Repertory Theater High School Awards. Since 2003, the Rep Awards have become a beloved tradition. They represent an inspiring way to reward the hard work of Boone County drama students.
Every year, the local repertory theaters sponsor the awards. Members present certificates and even scholarships to students from participating high schools. Students may win in a variety of areas. These include best actor or best supporting actor in a drama, best actor or best supporting actor in a musical, best ensemble, best technical achievement, best student playwright, and best student director. Schools themselves may be nominated for best play or best musical.
The volunteer judges attend all of the shows presented by participating schools. Most of the judges are performers or technical support in one of our local theaters, but this year they will be joined by the unnamed Broadway performer. Because the judges prefer that their attendance pass unnoticed by the students, the awards group is keeping the identity of the performer secret for now. The only clue we have is that he (or she) has a summer home in the area.
“It’s very much like having a restaurant critic come to your restaurant,” explained Joy McPherson, a member of the Repertory Theater Board of Directors. “Anonymity is important. You want to get an authentic performance so that you can judge it accordingly.”
Once the high school theater season ends, the volunteers meet to compare their observations. After some debate, they select winners in each category. Their choices receive their awards at the annual banquet. This year it will be held at Vino’s Restaurant on May 26.
Before the results are announced, each company performs a two-minute selection or medley from their original performance. Participants agree that this is a highlight of the event. “Seeing each other’s performances is wonderful,” McPherson comments. “Students don’t always get that chance. But it’s important to know what your competition is doing that is great and smart and worth seeing.”
This valuable opportunity for student performers has paid off in the past. Several past recipients of the acting and directing awards have gone on to major in drama in college. Some, McPherson tells us, are currently working in theater in New York, Boston, and Los Angeles.

Everyone waited anxiously for the Lottery of Fairness and

was no chance of anyone forgetting his or her number or
missing the drawing. Numbers were tattooed on our
forearms. Attendance was mandatory. As we peered
around at the armed soldiers who surrounded us, we
wondered who the winner would be. Who would take on
the punishment for all of our crimes? There were hardly
any crimes - nothing to steal, too tired to fight - but still,
the punishments would be harsh. We all hoped it wouldn't
be someone young.

Read Shakespeare's "Sonnet 73" and answer the question.

That time of year thou mayst in me behold
When yellow leaves, or none, or few do hang
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
Bare ruined choirs, where late the sweet birds sang
In me thou sees the twilight of such day
As after sunset fadeth in the west;
Which by and by black night doth take away,
Death's second self that seals up all in rest.
In me thou seest the glowing of such fire
That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,
As the deathbed whereon it must expire,
Consumed with that which it was nourished by.
This thou perceiv'st, which makes thy love more strong,
To love that well, which thou must leave ere long.

The first stanza compares the leafless limbs of a tree to _____.
yellow leaves
sweet birds
