Summarizing
Phoebe's Valentine's Day
by Alicia Skelton
Selma went to school with her backpack filled with
valentine cards to give to everyone in her class. When
she got to school she showed her friend Phoebe all of
the Valentine cards. Phoebe's face turned red, and
she covered her mouth with her hand. Phoebe had
forgotten all about Valentine's Day!
Selma put her hand on Phoebe's shoulder and tried
to make her friend feel better. The school bell rang,
and Selma and Phoebe had to take their seats. Selma
raised her hand and asked her teacher when they
were going to pass out their Valentine cards. Selma
could see Phoebe sink lower in her chair. The teacher
said that Valentine cards would be passed out at the
very end of the day during the Valentine's Day party.
Selma smiled because she had a great idea.
At recess, Selma came outside with a bunch of
paper, markers, scissors, and glue. Phoebe asked her
why she had all of that stuff. Selma told Phoebe that
they were going to make Valentine cards at recess so
Phoebe could pass them out at the end of the day.
Phoebe squealed with excitement and gave her friend
a huge hug.

"the children's hour" by henry wadsworth longfellow between the dark and the daylight, when the night is beginning to lower, comes a pause in the day's occupations, that is known as the children's hour. i hear in the chamber above me the patter of little feet, the sound of a door that is opened, and voices soft and sweet. from my study i see in the lamplight, descending the broad hall stair, grave alice, and laughing allegra, and edith with golden hair. a whisper, and then a silence: yet i know by their merry eyes they are plotting and planning together to take me by surprise. a sudden rush from the stairway, a sudden raid from the hall! by three doors left unguarded they enter my castle wall! they climb up into my turret o'er the arms and back of my chair; if i try to escape, they surround me; they seem to be everywhere. they almost devour me with kisses, their arms about me entwine, till i think of the bishop of bingen in his mouse-tower on the rhine! do you think, o blue-eyed banditti, because you have scaled the wall, such an old mustache as i am is not a match for you all! i have you fast in my fortress, and will not let you depart, but put you down into the dungeon in the round-tower of my heart. and there will i keep you forever, yes, forever and a day, till the walls shall crumble to ruin, and moulder in dust away! which literary device does longfellow use most frequently in the poem? a. simile b. metaphor c. repetition d. personification
