“Family Is…”
Family. Family is safety and security. It is grandparents who provided the strength and stability of our family. It is parents who drop everything to support, to encourage, and to love.
Family is my seeeeeester who is my favorite adventurer, willing to be brave even when it is scary.
Family is toes in the sand - with family I was born into and family I found along the way
Family is Costa Rica waves and sushi Sundays with my yoga loves - the bending and stretching and support through it all
Family is art projects and talking about our writing and tango-ing in the kitchen and all the dessert with E
Family is Sunday dinners where we cook and talk and laugh and solve all the problems
Family is the world’s best hype squad - celebrating and posting and doing the most on all the days
Family is love - learning how to give it to others and how to receive it
Such a beautiful family who has taught me how to love and be loved. How to support and be supported. How to encourage others and be encouraged. They have taught me vulnerability and honesty and authenticity. They have taught me to be brave when I want to run; to be proud when I want to be small; to be bold when I want to hide.
Family is teaching me the person I want to be.

Sentence 1 - Explain what move the author uses effectively
Sentence 2 - Use a quote from the article that proves your answer in sentence 1.

“Flowing”
We used to use summer as a time to flow through the world
relishing the hustle and bustle of New York City,
luxuriating in the crashing waves against our sun kissed toes in Cayman
listening to the monkeys screech “Pura Vida” during siestas in Costa Rica
savoring the salty spray on the Australian coast
the newness, the majesty, the learning.
Today we flow through the apartment pool
noticing the mama duck who made her nest in the grass overlooking the ripples
cherishing the caresses as our bodies glide through the water
delighting in the passing traffic that, with eyes closed, sounds almost like the familiar waves
soaking in the scent of coconut that always reminds us that summer is still here
Slower, different, uncertain, but still here, flowing from one remarkable moment into the next.

“Something You Should Know”
Is that I failed Calculus my senior year of high school.
Like, legit failed.
Like, an F on my report card.
Like, forever and ever and ever.
Failure in
The last semester of my last year of high school.
Sigh...
Math was never my most favorite,
But, I loved Mrs. Abel,
My silver haired Pre-Cal teacher who taught me
How to use the word omit
How to laugh during class
How to feel safe in school.
She wore big, flowerdy tunics
And told stories about days when no one knew cigarettes were deadly and
All the teachers smoked in the lounge
Can you even imagine?
And, so, I took Calculus with my friend Toni
We spent most days with a pink pass in hand
Roaming the hallway after we had “finished” our work for the day
I suppose I shouldn’t be surprise when each test
Mocked me after I pretended to study
I scoured the pink pages of the final exam review sheet for hours,
Cramming the night before the test.
But, my minimal studying just wasn’t enough.
And failure is what I earned.
But, honestly,
I don’t regret Calculus.
I was with my people
I felt at home
I could have done better
But, I’m doing ok.
This failure doesn’t define me
I’m an English teacher, and
Calculus
Is in my rearview...

Sythe Book 2 - Neal Shusterman
There is no great mystery as to why I chose to set up Charter Regions with laws and customs different from those of the rest of the world. I simply understood the need for variety and social innovation. So much of the world has become homogeneous. Such is the fate of a unified planet. Native languages become quaint and secondary. Races blend into a pleasing mélange of all the best from each ethnicity, with only minor variations. But in Charter Regions, differences are encouraged and social experiments abound. I have established seven of these regions, one on each continent. Where possible, I have maintained the borders that defined the region during the age of mortality. I am particularly proud of the social experiments featured in each of these Charter Regions. For instance, in Nepal, employment is forbidden. All citizens are free to engage in any recreational activity they choose, and receive a Basic Income Guarantee much higher than in other regions, so that they do not feel slighted by an inability to actually earn a living. This has resulted in a substantial rise in altruistic and charitable endeavors.
So instead, his thoughts kept coming back to the one thing he could do. . . . Rowan had always prided himself on gleaning the most despicable of expanded like a sail in the wind. Scythe Brahms was small-minded and provincial by nature. His own bull’s-eye was only about twenty miles in diameter. In other words, all his gleanings took place in and around his home in Omaha. When Rowan first had the man in his sights, he had tracked his movements, which were very predictable. Each morning he walked his yappy little dog to the same diner where he had breakfast every day. It was also the place where he gave out immunity to the families of whomever he had gleaned the day before. He never ever rose from his booth, merely extending his hand for the grieving families to kiss, then returning his attention to his omelet, as if those people were an annoying imposition on his day. Rowan couldn’t imagine
