The Fish
Marianne Moore — 1887–1972
wade
through black jade.
Of the crow-blue mussel-shells, one keeps
adjusting the ash-heaps;
opening and shutting itself like
an
injured fan.
The barnacles which encrust the side
of the wave, cannot hide
there for the submerged shafts of the
sun,
split like spun
glass, move themselves with spotlight swiftness
into the crevices—
in and out, illuminating
the
turquoise sea
of bodies. The water drives a wedge
of iron through the iron edge
of the cliff; whereupon the stars,
pink
rice-grains, ink-
bespattered jelly fish, crabs like green
lilies, and submarine
toadstools, slide each on the other.
All
external
marks of abuse are present on this
defiant edifice—
all the physical features of
ac-
cident—lack
of cornice, dynamite grooves, burns, and
hatchet strokes, these things stand
out on it; the chasm-side is
dead.
Repeated
evidence has proved that it can live
on what can not revive
its youth. The sea grows old in it.

"The Fish," a fish poem by Marianne Moore, is a meditation on the nature of perception, beauty, and reality. The poem starts with a description of a "speckled" fish that is "battered and venerable" and "homely" in look. Moore's speaker, on the other hand, begins to appreciate the fish's beauty as the poem progresses, noting its "tremendous" size, "silvery" scales, and "suddenness" as it glides through the water. The poem concludes with the speaker admiring the fish's ability to survive in such difficult conditions, and finding beauty in its fortitude and persistence. Moore's poem indicates, through her thorough observations of the fish, that even the most ordinary and unremarkable things can reveal unexpected levels of beauty and meaning if we take the time to look closely.The poem celebrates nature's strength and beauty while also exploring how an animal can appear both entirely strange and deeply familiar to a human.

Read the excerpt "Use Cloth to Save the Earth.”

It may be difficult to imagine, but over four million tons of disposable diapers are thrown away each year. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, solid waste from disposable diapers introduces pathogens into the environment. Citizens who stand idly by, watching our planet suffer, are apathetic and callous. Furthermore, studies have shown that disposable diapers will never degrade in landfills. Many people do worry about the burden of cost, since the initial investment in cloth diapers is steep. However, a study found that on average, families save around $900 per year by using reusable diapers. To help save our planet, people need to consider using reusable diapers.

Read the excerpt from President Ronald Reagan’s speech on the night before the 1980 presidential election. A popular novel of the '60s ended prophetically with its description of a "kindly, pleasant, greening land about to learn whether history still has a place for a nation so strangely composed of great ideals and uneasy compromise as she.” That is really the question before us tonight: for the first time in our memory many Americans are asking: does history still have a place for America, for her people, for her great ideals? There are some who answer "no”; that our energy is spent, our days of greatness at an end, that a great national malaise is upon us. They say we must cut our expectations, conserve and withdraw, that we must tell our children . . . not to dream as we once dreamed. Last year I lost a friend who was more than a symbol of the Hollywood dream industry; to millions he was a symbol of our country itself. And when he died, the headlines seemed to convey all the doubt about America, all the nostalgia for a seemingly lost past. "The Last American Hero,” said one headline; "Mr. America dies,” said another. Well, I knew John Wayne well, and no one would have been angrier at being called the "last American hero.” Just before his death, he said in his own blunt way, "Just give the American people a good cause, and there’s nothing they can’t lick.” Duke Wayne did not believe that our country was ready for the dust bin of history, and if we’ll just think about it we too will know it isn’t. Which ideas from the excerpt would be most appropriate to include in a summary? Select three options. Popular novels from the past often ask provocative questions that are important to consider today. Many Americans have given up and say that the nation is no longer great or a land of dreams. John Wayne, nicknamed Duke, was an iconic Hollywood actor and filmmaker. President Reagan believed that John Wayne would argue that he was not the last American hero, because there are many more. Duke Wayne died as a symbol of the hollywood dream industry

Read this passage from “No Witchcraft for Sale” by Doris Lessing. What is the cultural conflict in the passage?

Gideon…sighed, “Soon you will be going away to school, Little Yellow Head.” He said wonderingly, “and then you will be grown up.” He shook his head gently and said, “And that is how our lives go.” He seemed to be putting a distance between himself and Teddy, not because of resentment, but in the way a person accepts something inevitable. The baby had lain in his harms and smiled up into his face: The tiny boy had swung from his shoulders and played with him by the hour. Now Gideon would not let his flesh touch the flesh of the white child. He was kind, but there was a grave formality in his voice that made Teddy pout and sulk away.

Read the excerpt from "Freedom Walkers” by Russell Freedman.

Parks made extra money by taking in sewing on the side. She had done some work for Virginia Durr, wife of attorney Clifford Durr, and the two women became friends. The Durrs, a white couple, were known in Montgomery as outspoken equal rights activists. They thought so highly of Parks’s civic activities that during the summer of 1955 they helped arrange a week’s stay for Rosa at the Highlander Folk School in Monteagle, Tennessee, which held interracial workshops on how to promote integration. "That was the first time in my life I had lived in an atmosphere of complete equality with members of the other race,” Parks said later. "I did enjoy going up there.”

Which key detail in this excerpt develops the central idea that Rosa Parks fought segregation even before she refused to give up her seat on the bus?

o The Durrs thought very highly of her “civic activities.”
o The school she attended had “interracial workshops.”
o She “became friends” with a White woman, Virginia Durr.
o She enjoyed being in “an atmosphere of complete equality.”
