(04.01 HC)Read the following excerpt from James Weldon Johnson’s Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man and answer the question that follows.My mother and I lived together in a little cottage which seemed to me to be fitted up almost luxuriously; there were horse-hair-covered chairs in the parlor, and a little square piano; there was a stairway with red carpet on it leading to a half second story; there were pictures on the walls, and a few books in a glass-doored case. My mother dressed me very neatly, and I developed that pride which well-dressed boys generally have. She was careful about my associates, and I myself was quite particular. As I look back now I can see that I was a perfect little aristocrat. My mother rarely went to anyone’s house, but she did sewing, and there were a great many ladies coming to our cottage. If I was around they would generally call me, and ask me my name and age and tell my mother what a pretty boy I was. Some of them would pat me on the head and kiss me.Which text structure does the author use here and why?

(04.01 HC)Read the following excerpt from Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin and answer the question that follows.I think you may like to know something of his person and character. He had an excellent constitution of body, was of middle stature, but well set, and very strong; he was ingenious, could draw prettily, was skilled a little in music, and had a clear, pleasing voice, so that when he played psalm tunes on his violin and sung withal, as he sometimes did in an evening after the business of the day was over, it was extremely agreeable to hear. He had a mechanical genius too, and, on occasion, was very handy in the use of other tradesmen’s tools; but his great excellence lay in a sound understanding and solid judgment in prudential matters, both in private and publick affairs. In the latter, indeed, he was never employed, the numerous family he had to educate and the straitness of his circumstances keeping him close to his trade; but I remember well his being frequently visited by leading people, who consulted him for his opinion in affairs of the town or of the church he belonged to, and showed a good deal of respect for his judgment and advice: he was also much consulted by private persons about their affairs when any difficulty occurred, and frequently chosen an arbitrator between contending parties. At his table he liked to have, as often as he could, some sensible friend or neighbor to converse with, and always took care to start some ingenious or useful topic for discourse, which might tend to improve the minds of his children.Which text structure does the author use here and why?

(05.02 HC) Read the paired texts below, the final diary entry of John Wilkes Booth and “April 27, Eighteen Sixty-Five” by Emma Lazarus. Then answer the question that follows.   from the last diary entry of John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated President Abraham LincolnAfter being hunted like a dog through swamps, woods, and last night being chased by gunboats till I was forced to return wet, cold, and starving, with every man’s hand against me, I am here in despair. And why? For doing what Brutus was honored for. What made Tell a hero? And yet I, for striking down a greater tyrant than they ever knew, am looked upon as a common cutthroat. My action was purer than either of theirs. One hoped to be great himself. The other had not only his country’s but his own, wrongs to avenge. I hoped for no gain. I knew no private wrong. I struck for my country and that alone. A country that groaned beneath this tyranny, and prayed for this end, and yet now behold the cold hands they extend to me. God cannot pardon me if I have done wrong. Yet I cannot see my wrong, except in serving a degenerate people. The little, the very little, I left behind to clear my name, the Government will not allow to be printed. So ends all. For my country I have given up all that makes life sweet and holy, brought misery upon my family, and am sure there is no pardon in the Heaven for me, since man condemns me so. I have only heard of what has been done (except what I did myself), and it fills me with horror. God, try and forgive me, and bless my mother. Tonight I will once more try the river with the intent to cross. Though I have a greater desire and almost a mind to return to Washington, and in a measure clear my name—which I feel I can do. I do not repent the blow I struck. I may before my God, but not to man. I think I have done well. Though I am abandoned, with the curse of Cain upon me, when, if the world knew my heart, that one blow would have made me great, though I did desire no greatness. Tonight I try to escape these bloodhounds once more. Who, who can read his fate? God’s will be done. I have too great a soul to die like a criminal. Oh, may He, may He spare me that, and let me die bravely. I bless the entire world. Have never hated or wronged anyone. This last was not a wrong, unless God deems it so, and it’s with Him to damn or bless me. As for this brave boy with me, who often prays (yes, before and since) with a true and sincere heart—was it crime in him? If so, why can he pray the same?I do not wish to shed a drop of blood, but ‘I must fight the course.’ ‘Tis all that’s left to me.   from April 27, Eighteen Sixty-Five by Emma Lazarus”To sleep! What is sleep now but haunting dreams?Chased off, everytime by the flashing gleamOf the light o’er the stream of yonder town,Where all are searching and hunting me down!O, the wearisome pain, the dread suspense,And the horror each instant more intense!I yearn for the rest from my pain and for sleep—Bright stars, do ye mock, or quivering, weep?”Go forth! Thou shalt have here no rest again,For thy brow is marked with the brand of Cain.On the marsh’s grass, without pillow or bed,Fell the rain and dew on his fated head;While the will-o’-the-wisp with its changeful light,Led him on o’er the swamp in the darksome night;And all Nature’s voices cried out again,To the weary fugitive in his pain—Go forth! Thou shalt have here no rest again,For thy brow is marked with the brand of Cain.The pursuers are near! O, bitter strife!Youth, more strong than despair still clings to life.More near and more near! They find him at last;One desperate struggle, and all is past—One desperate struggle, mid smoke and flame,For life without joy, and darkness and shame.A prayer ascends to high Heaven’s gateFor his soul, O God, be it not too late!A ball cleaves the air … He is lying there,Pale, stiff and cold in the fresh morning air;And the flames’ hot breath is all stifled now,And the breezes caress his marble brow.All sorrow has gone with a life’s fitful breath.Rest at last! For thy brow bears the seal of death.   Which statement best analyzes the contrast between Booth’s self-perception and Lazarus’s portrayal of him following the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln?

(04.01 MC)Read Cicero’s views on kindness and answer the question that follows.”… let us speak of kindness and generosity. Nothing appeals more to the best in human nature than this, but it calls for the exercise of caution in many particulars: we must, in the first place, see to it that our act of kindness shall not prove an injury either to the object of our beneficence or to others; in the second place, that it shall not be beyond our means; and finally, that it shall be proportioned to the worthiness of the recipient; for this is the corner-stone of justice; and by the standard of justice all acts of kindness must be measured. For those who confer a harmful favour upon someone whom they seemingly wish to help are to be accounted not generous benefactors but dangerous sycophants; and likewise those who injure one man, in order to be generous to another, are guilty of the same injustice as if they diverted to their own accounts the property of their neighbours.”What is the central idea of this excerpt from Cicero’s De Officiis?
