He was a huge man in a bright red robe (bright as holly berries) with a hood that had fur inside it and a great white beard that fell like a foamy waterfall over his chest.…
Now that the children actually stood looking at him… he was so big, so glad, and so real, that they all became quite still. They felt very glad, but also solemn.
“I’ve come at last,” said he. “She has kept me out for a long time, but I have got in at last. Aslan is on the move. The witch’s magic is weakening.”
And Lucy felt that deep shiver of gladness that you only get if you are being solemn and still.

Use the text Law of the Land to answer the question.

Law of the Land = The United States Supreme Court is the nation’s highest court. It heads the government’s judicial branch (see “Government Branches”). The court’s job is to solve disagreements. It hears around 80 cases a year. These cases affect citizens’ rights. They also raise important questions about the law. The court is made up of nine
judges, called justices. Each is picked by the president and approved by the Senate. Justices may serve for life. The Supreme Court was created in 1789. That was two years after our country’s founders wrote the U.S. Constitution. The Constitution lays out rules for how the government should work. The Supreme Court’s role is to ensure the president and Congress follow the Constitution. The court can tell the president if
his or her actions are allowed. It can also tell Congress that a law is unconstitutional.
Historic Decision Supreme Court rulings affect all Americans. One crucial case was Brown v. Board of Education, in 1954. Oliver Brown had sued the school system in Topeka, Kansas. His daughter, Linda, could not attend the school closest to her home. It was an all-white school. Linda was black. Her father thought this treatment was unfair. The Supreme Court heard Brown’s case. The court ruled that the Constitution gives equal rights to all children in the U.S. The court said having separate schools for black and white children was unconstitutional. The case helped to end segregation in U.S. public schools. "The results still touch our lives today." —By Brian S. McGrath

Write a paragraph for this please.

adapted from To My Old Master

This letter was written by Jourdon Anderson, a person who escaped slavery during the Civil War. The letter is addressed to the man who once held him in slavery, Colonel P.H. Anderson. After the Civil War, Colonel Anderson’s plantation was failing, and he wrote Jourdon to ask him to return to work the fields and help him save his business.

Dayton, Ohio, August 7, 1865.

To my old Master, Colonel P. H. Anderson, Big Spring, Tennessee.

Sir:

I got your letter, and was glad to find that you had not forgotten Jourdon, and that you wanted me to come back and live with you again, promising to do better for me than anybody else can. I have often felt uneasy about you. Although you shot at me twice before I left you, I did not want to hear of your being hurt and am glad you are still living. I would have gone back to see you all when I was working in the Nashville Hospital, but one of the neighbors told me that Henry intended to shoot me if he ever got a chance . . .

I want to know particularly what the good chance is you propose to give me. I am doing tolerably well here. I get $25 a month, with victuals and clothing; have a comfortable home for Mandy (the folks call her Mrs. Anderson), and the children, Milly, Jane, and Grundy, go to school and are learning well . . .

As to my freedom, which you say I can have, there is nothing to be gained on that score, as I got my free papers in 1864 from the Provost-Marshal-General of the Department of Nashville. Mandy says she would be afraid to go back without some proof that you were disposed to treat us justly and kindly; and we have concluded to test your sincerity by asking you to send us our wages for the time we served you. This will make us forget and forgive old scores and rely on your justice and friendship in the future. I served you faithfully for thirty-two years, and Mandy twenty years. At $25 a month for me, and $2 a week for Mandy, our earnings would amount to $11,680. Add to this the interest for the time our wages have been kept back, and deduct what you paid for our clothing, and three doctor’s visits to me, and pulling a tooth for Mandy, and the balance will show what we are in justice entitled to.

From your old servant,

Jourdon Anderson

P.S.— Say howdy to George Carter and thank him for taking the pistol from you when you were shooting at me.
In "To My Old Master," which quote from the text best states a claim Jourdon makes about the value of the Colonel's offer of independence and a better life?

"I have often felt uneasy about you. Although you shot at me twice before I left you, I did not want to hear of your being hurt and am glad you are still living."

"As to my freedom, which you say I can have, there is nothing to be gained on that score, as I got my free papers in 1864 from the Provost-Marshal-General of the Department of Nashville."

"I get $25 a month, with victuals and clothing; have a comfortable home for Mandy (the folks call her Mrs. Anderson), and the children"

"Mandy says she would be afraid to go back without some proof that you were disposed to treat us justly and kindly; and we have concluded to test your sincerity by asking you to send us our wages for the time we served you."

The Moment
John Malone

I heard there were whales lunging out of the water
At Henley South.
“Sleek and smooth as peach slices,”
One eyewitness said.
Whales!
I finished what I was doing and went down
For a look,
But the sea was flat and empty.
There were only a pair of cyclists on the other side
Doing up their clips
And a pelican among the gulls gazing wistfully at a spot
Where something might have been.
No sun was out. The sky was whale-gray.
I had missed the moment

read this and make an appropriate inference. How did the inflection of the narrator's voice support this inference?

Macbeth
by William Shakespeare
Act V, Scene 5
She should have died hereafter;
There would have been a time for such a word. — To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury Signifying nothing.

3. Explain the contradiction, “full of sound and fury/ Signifying nothing.”

Read this excerpt from The Call of the Wild by Jack London.

It was a hard day's run, up the Canon, through Sheep Camp, past the Scales and the timber line, across glaciers and snowdrifts hundreds of feet deep, and over the great Chilcoot Divide, which stands between the salt water and the fresh and guards forbiddingly the sad and lonely North. They made good time down the chain of lakes which fills the craters of extinct volcanoes, and late that night pulled into the huge camp at the head of Lake Bennett, where thousands of goldseekers were building boats against the break-up of the ice in the spring.
