Carlos is writing about this excerpt from The Jungle Book.

Akela lifted his head again, and said: “He has eaten our food; he has slept with us; he has driven game for us; he has broken no word of the Law of the Jungle.”

“Also, I paid for him with a bull when he was accepted. The worth of a bull is little, but Bagheera’s honor is something that he will perhaps fight for,” said Bagheera in his gentlest voice.

“A bull paid ten years ago!” the Pack snarled. “What do we care for bones ten years old?”

“Or for a pledge?” said Bagheera, his white teeth bared under his lip. “Well are ye called the Free People!”

“No man’s cub can run with the people of the jungle!” roared Shere Khan. “Give him to me.”

Carlos makes the claim “Shere Khan and his followers have lost all respect for the Jungle Law.”

Which detail from the passage best supports this claim?

“Also, I paid for him with a bull when he was accepted. The worth of a bull is little, but Bagheera’s honor is something that he will perhaps fight for.”

“A bull paid ten years ago!” the Pack snarled. “What do we care for bones ten years old?”

“Or for a pledge?” said Bagheera, his white teeth bared under his lip. “Well are ye called the Free People!”

“He has eaten our food; he has slept with us; he has driven game for us; he has broken no word of the Law of the Jungle.”

Which statement about the narrator of The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling is true?

The narrator is a character in the story who has a third-person limited point of view.

The narrator uses third-person pronouns but knows only Father Wolf’s thoughts.

The narrator is not a character in the story and has a third-person omniscient point of view.

The narrator uses first-person pronouns and knows the thoughts of all of the characters.

Evil is rewarded with more evil. This is a theme found in Jungle Book: Mowgli’s Brothers.

Which detail best supports the idea that evil is rewarded with evil?

Mowgli carries a fire-pot to the final meeting at Council Rock.

Akela promises to care for Mowgli, and the Pack tries to break that promise.

Bagheera paid the price of one bull for Mowgli to be accepted by the Pack.

Members of the Pack hunt the villagers and their cattle.

It is important to have patience and endurance in building a strong character.This theme is often found in Rudyard Kipling’s writings.

Which detail from “If” best supports this theme?

But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,

Which is the best example of a strong conclusion?

Finally, I’d like to say that everyone in the sixth grade thinks that we need more recess time. It’s not fair that the younger students get more time on the playground.

In closing, recess allows kids to have fun with their friends and move their bodies. If kids do not have recess, they will not sit still in class and focus on their work. That’s what I think.

So those are the reasons I think this is an important issue. If parents and teachers want kids to do well in school, they should listen to my advice.

To summarize, exercise and fresh air are very important for healthy children. One way to provide more exercise and fresh air at school is to provide extra recess. More time outside ensures healthier students.

Read about Garrett, and then answer the question.

Garrett is writing an argumentative essay encouraging students to join the swim team.

Which best supports his claim that swim team is a fun and healthy activity?

My favorite swim team event is the 200-meter relay.

The butterfly swimming stroke is one of the most difficult to learn.

Some of the most famous athletes in the world are Olympic swimmers.

Doctors say that swimming is a great way to strengthen the heart and muscles.

Which action from The Jungle Book best supports the claim that Father Wolf respects the Law of the Jungle?

Father hunts and provides food for his wife and family.

Father takes his cubs and Mowgli to be inspected at Council Rock.

Father changes his hunting ground and goes into the village.

Father teaches his cubs to listen to Shere Khan, not Akela.

The rising action of a story may describe

only one event at the beginning.

one event at the beginning and one at the end.

many events throughout the story.

many events at the very end.

Read the following excerpt from The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling.

There he checked, for he heard the yell of the Pack hunting, heard the bellow of a hunted Sambhur, and the snort as the buck turned at bay. Then there were wicked, bitter howls from the young wolves: “Akela! Akela! Let the Lone Wolf show his strength. Room for the leader of our Pack! Spring, Akela!”

The Lone Wolf must have sprung and missed his hold, for Mowgli heard the snap of his teeth and then a yelp as the Sambhur knocked him over with his fore foot.

He did not wait for anything more, but dashed on; and the yells grew fainter behind him as he ran into the croplands where the villagers lived.

How does the ending of this excerpt create tension and maybe lead to further conflict?

Akela will be furious because he missed his kill, and he will want to take his anger out on Mowgli.

The pack will mourn Akela’s failure during the hunt, but they will honor the old wolf.

After they kill Akela, the wolves will ask Mowgli to become the new leader of their pack.

Because Akela has failed to down the buck, he and Mowgli are likely to be killed by the other wolves.
