Making connections is important in helping your brain understand and remember what you read. There are different ways to connect. One kind of connection is self-to-text. This is when you connect what you are reading to a similar experience in your life. Another kind of connection is text-to-text. The story you are reading reminds you of a story that you have read before. A third way to connect is text-to-world. The story reminds you of an event that happened to someone you know or you have seen in the news. Which connection is an example of text-to-text? A) The author lives in New York. B) You and the main character enjoy the same kind of music. C) The story's author did a book signing at the mall last week. D) The story takes place in Africa, which you just read about in history class.

 he's living, i know. but he's numbed with the cold. 
 see, i'm wrapping my hair all around him to warm him.' -
- 'no. we can't keep the dead, dear. come, loosen your hold.

 'come. loosen your fingers.' - 'o god, let me keep him! ' -
 o, hide it, black night! let the winds have their way! 
 and there are no voices or ghosts from that darkness, 
 to fret the bare seas at the breaking of day. the imagery and word choice in the second stanza creates a tone of liveliness and joy danger and gloom silence and peace anger and hostility
