Finding Folly
by Marty Alexander
Janna sank into the softness of the sofa as Folly danced in front of the TV. The bubbly
toddler was watching her favorite show about singing frogs and other woodland creatures.
She wanted to watch it all the time, and Janna didn't mind. It always made babysitting so
easy. Soon, Janna's eyelids began to droop to the soundtrack of a catchy tune about
woodland sounds on a summer night.
Gradually, in Janna's subconscious, the sofa and the TV faded away and a new scene
began to take shape. As the murky woods behind the house wafted into view, Janna couldn't
see frogs, but she could hear them-real frogs—their croaking accompanied by cricket
chirps, toad whistles and sounds she didn't recognize. But there was something else: Janna
couldn't see or hear Folly!
Suddenly stricken with terror, Janna called out to Folly. She wanted to run into the woods,
but she couldn't will her feet to move. After several horrifying seconds, she felt a nudge on
her cheek.
Janna sat upright on the couch, feeling the heavy thud of her heart beating in her chest.
Standing next to her with a look of total puzzlement was Folly.
"You're here!" exclaimed Janna as she scooped the little girl into her lap. To be sure she
was back to reality, she swept her eyes around the room and found all was as it had been
earlier--the sofa, the TV, and most of all, Folly.
Keep your eyes open, Janna chided herself, as they settled back down to watch TV
together

explanation:

1. drag the central argument paine presents and its two claims to complete the chart. argument claims america may have flourished more had it not been under the power of any european country. america may have flourished under britain in the past, but there is no guarantee that it will continue to flourish in the future. america will continue to flourish as long as the essential food products it sells are bought and eaten in europe. the american colonies will no longer flourish when britain makes war against them. britain's king has shown himself to be prejudiced against the colonies, rather than wanting them to flourish.

2.select the sentence in this passage that can be classified as a false statement.

although few humans per year are attacked by polar bears, any individual attack can be terrifying and even fatal. the warming of arctic regions has allowed the intrusion of humans into the polar bears’ habitat, increasing the danger of harmful contacts. remaining alert and using precautions can humans avoid a negative encounter with a polar bear. traveling together and staying close to the group can humans avoid bear attacks. certain weapons, including nonlethal ones such as pepper spray, are effective against polar bears. once a bear has decided to attack, however, nothing can be done.

3.select the sentence in this passage that demonstrates the fallacy of making an extreme either-or claim.

the civil war was the bloodiest conflict in the history of the united states. more than 600,000 soldiers lost their lives. the fighting took place in many different cities and throughout the countryside. the wounded often suffered acute pain while in the field hospitals. they all should have asked for better care. william hammond, the surgeon general of the union army, created a new system of sanitary field care. if people do not accept hammond as the most important person from the civil war, they have no understanding of the war.
