For the story ''The Sanctuary of School". PLEASE HELP! DUE SOON!! Q.1. Skim pages 996 and 998, and note the three places where Barry describes someone or something as having ''the sound turned off.'' Explain what she is referring to in each case. Why do you think the image is so powerful to Barry?

Q.2. Reread the last paragraph of the essay. What is the ''pledge'' that Barry wants Americans to make to schoolchildren?

Q.3. The evidence Barry offers to persuade the reader comes from a single source--her personal experience. Generalizing from a single experience can be considered over-generalization. Would you say Barry's argument is effective, or is her experience is too narrow to achieve her purpose? Explain.
