Please read and write a paragraph-long summary of the following excerpt from Stephen King's "Why we Crave this roller coaster. Which is
not to say that a really good horror movie may not surprise a scream out of us at some point, the way we may scream when the roller coaster
twists through a complete 360 or plows through a lake at the bottom of the drop. And horror movies, like roller coasters, have always been the
special province of the young; by the time one turns 40 or 50, one's appetite for double twists or 360-degree loops may be considerably
depleted.
We also go to re-establish our feelings of essential normality; the horror movie is innately conservative, even reactionary. Freda Jackson as
the horrible melting woman in Die, Monster, Die! confirms for us that no matter how far we may be removed from the beauty of a Robert
Redford or a Diana Ross, we are still light-years from true ugliness.
And we go to have fun.
Ah, but this is where the ground starts to slope away, isn't it? Because this is a very peculiar sort of fun, indeed. The fun comes from seeing
others menaced - sometimes killed. One critic has suggested that if pro football has become the voyeur's version of combat, then the horror
film has become the modern version of the public lynching.
It is true that the mythic "fairy-tale" horror film intends to take away the shades of grey... It urges us to put away our more civilized and
adult penchant for analysis and to become children again, seeing things in pure black and whites. It may be that horror movies provide
psychic relief on this level because this invitation to lapse into simplicity, irrationality and even outright madness is extended so rarely. We
are told we may allow our emotions a free rein...or no rein at all.

POEM FOR MY GRANDMOTHER
When I heard you were sick
You became the little girl
You told me about,
The one who used to hide in the hay In the red and white barn
When it was time
For her to do the dishes.
And I became the little boy
You told those stories to,
And I hid with you in the hay,
Listening to your father’s voice
Calling through the rafters, calling for you When the summertime warmed the hay And the dishes were piling up.

What is the setting of the poem?
- What is the emotional tone of the poem (or what emotions is the poem trying to convey)?
- Are there any recognizable literary devices in this poem and what are they?

Less Phones, More Talk


In our contemporary society, far too many people are more interested in whatever is happening on their phones than the people around them. Visit any restaurant, and you will notice people mindlessly staring at their personal devices rather than interacting with those around them. This habit is hurting relationships and shortening attention spans.

The best way to build a relationship is through one-on-one interaction, and the habit of constantly checking your phone unfortunately gets in the way of that. When you are on the phone during dinner with a friend, you are sending the message that he or she is not that important to you. You may still be able to pay attention to what your friend is saying, but you are communicating a message of disrespect by looking at your phone and not making eye contact. Without eye contact, it is nearly impossible to be fully engaged in the conversation. When your eyes are fixed on your phone, your companion may not share as much information with you or worse yet, he or she may not want to spend time with you in the future.

Many people think that they have to check their phones and be connected at all times. However, the reality is that very few things are so important that they need to be followed at all times. The latest posts on social media will not simply go away if you have not checked them in the past five minutes. In the event that you are awaiting an important phone call or text, you can simply tell your dinner partner "excuse me" and not that you have to check something on your phone. You would not walk away while someone was talking without saying anything, and the same holds true for when you check your phone. Entering the world of your phone is essentially walking away because you are no longer fully present and aware of what the other person is saying.

A Tortoise, seeing an Eagle in flight, wanted much to fly like him. So she asked him if he would not teach her to fly.
He told her that it was impossible; that Tortoises could not fly. All the more did she urge him; so at last the Eagle seized her in his claws, bore her to a great height, and then, letting her go, bade her fly.
She fell like a stone to the earth, and the blow knocked the breath out of her body.

Looking at how the Tortoise responds to the challenge of being told she cannot fly, what is the theme of the text?

a) If you refuse to take advice from someone who knows more than you, then you might get hurt.
b) If your strength is swimming, then you should never try something new, like flying.
c) Taking a small risk is a great way to expand your horizons.
d) Do not listen to someone who tries to stop you from following your dreams.
