November by Ursula Hegi
When my daughter finds me standing in the swimming pool, water up to my ribs in November, the beige of my wool dress darkened with moisture, she’ll cancel her wedding. Even when she was a girl, she could be stubborn, but I always knew how to stop her. Sometimes just words- you’re making my heart ache- and holding on to my chest. Once, when she wanted to buy that foolish motorbike, I pushed the bread knife into her hand -you might as well slash my throat. I Now she insists on marrying. She’s barely thirty-one, and I told her there’s no rush, even broke my crystal glasses and stepped on them with my bare feet. But she only walked away and locked herself in her room at the end of the hall.
Arms raised straight out from my sides, I stand in the icy water, my palms inches above the cloudy surface. My legs and feet feel numb, swollen, as though they belonged to someone else, but my belly is warm. I wait for the sound of my daughter’s car, the slapping of her tires against the pavement, the reassuring latch of her car door. She’ll come running toward the pool and cry out my name, kneel down and offer both hands to me...But it is quiet. Only the sky comes closer, the hazy dome tilting across the edges of the pool.

What caused the american civil war? there were many reasons for a civil war to happen in america, and political issues and disagreements began soon after the american revolution ended in 1782. between the years 1800 and 1860, arguments between the north and south grew more intense. one of the main quarrels was about taxes paid on goods brought into this country from foreign countries. this tax was called a tariff. southerners felt these tariffs were unfair and aimed toward them because they imported a wider variety of goods than most northern people. taxes were also placed on many southern goods that were shipped to foreign countries, an expense that was not always applied to northern goods of equal value. an awkward economic structure allowed states and private transportation companies to do this, which also affected southern banks that found themselves paying higher interest rates on loans made with banks in the north. the situation grew worse after several “panics,” including one in 1857 that affected more northern banks than southern. southern financiers found themselves burdened with high payments just to save northern banks that had suffered financial losses through poor investment. which sentence from the selection states a major detail that supports the main idea? a there were many reasons for a civil war to happen in america, and political issues and disagreements began soon after the american revolution ended in 1782. b taxes were also placed on many southern goods that were shipped to foreign countries, an expense that was not always applied to northern goods of equal value. c the situation grew worse after several "panics," including one in 1857 that affected more northern banks than southern. d this tax was called a tariff. e between the years 1800 and 1860, arguments between the north and south grew more intense.
