Reading Selections Two Poems One Reading Passage Poem - 7 questions One Stand Alone - 10 questions Poem-5 questions 22 Questions Total

Midnight by: Sarah Holbrook When it’s Sunday and it’s midnight, the weekend put back in its chest, the toys of recreation, party times and needed rest. When I lie in wait for Monday to grab me by the ear, throw me at the shower, off to school and when I hear the train at midnight from so many miles away... when it’s Sunday . . . and it’s midnight . . . the train in passing brays and boasts it’s steel-track-straight, on schedule, arrival times to keep. And I meander to its rhythm, flopping like a fish. Why can’t I get to sleep?

The metaphor in the first stanza is used to emphasize that the— A  speaker behaves like a small child on the weekend B  speaker’s weekend of fun and relaxation is over C  speaker uses the weekend to organize things D  speaker’s time is wasted during the weekend

A Real Case by: Sara Holbrook Doubtful, I have a fever or any other measurable symptom. I’m just down with a sniffly case of sudden-self-loathing- syndrome. TODAY! It hit like a thwop of mashed potatoes snapped against a plate, An unrequested extra serving of just-for-now-self-hate. Today, I’m worthless, a leftover bath, a wad of second-hand gum. I belong in a twist-tied bag with the rest of the toys that won’t run. My mood’s as welcome as incoming dog breath, or a terminal case of split ends. I sparkle like a dust rag, I could attract mosquitoes— maybe—not friends. In fact, I could be contagious! I’m a downer to say the least. And if you try to push my mood swing, I’ll only drag my feet. Why? I couldn’t tell you. Just, some days, I get up and get down. It’s not a permanent disability, though. Tomorrow, I’ll come around. A Real Case by: Sara Holbrook

Figurative Language  Authors use similes and metaphors to help the reader understand a character, object or point of view by comparing those subjects to something the audience already understands. What is the purpose of the poet using so many similes and metaphors throughout a poem?  to express a subject or feeling in few words

Words or phrases that appeal to one or more of the five senses. Imagery Words or phrases that appeal to one or more of the five senses. Writers want you to see, hear, taste, smell and feel what they are writing about. They paint images, or word pictures, that appeal to your senses and help you experience the poem fully.

Analyzing the writing Why does the poet capitalize the word “TODAY”? It hit like a thwop of mashed potatoes snapped against a plate, An unrequested extra serving of just-for-now-self-hate.

What does the author want/not want by writing these lines? And if you try to push My mood swing, I’ll only drag my feet.
