Squirrels are one of the most familiar—and possibly the least appreciated—of our animal neighbors. They inhabit millions of yards, parks, and forests on every continent except Antarctica. Watching their antics is an amusing pastime; after all, both their acrobatic skill and their appearance make them natural entertainers. However, they are also noted for their ability to aggravate those who share living space with them. The squirrel's reputation as a yard pest and robber of bird feeders is legendary—it is common knowledge that no bird feeder is squirrel-proof. A close scrutiny of squirrels reveals the remarkable characteristics that allow them to be both a blessing and a bane to their human neighbors.

The physical agility of squirrels exceeds that of the greatest circus high-wire and trapeze acts, and squirrels perform almost constantly—and always without a net! Scientists have determined that squirrels can jump about 10 times the length of their own bodies. This enables them to accomplish amazing feats as they leap from tree to tree or navigate telephone wires with the nonchalance of a tightrope walker, using their tails for balance. They are also aided in these aerial feats by the ability to rotate their ankles 180 degrees, so they can pivot faster and with more flexibility than any athlete. Their vision is acute, and they can see above, below, and to the side without moving their heads. Thus, they are able to position themselves—and watch for potential problems and dining possibilities—very easily. It is little wonder that they are aerial artists as well as master thieves!

Their mental dexterity is as keen as their physical ability. Since they are thieves themselves, they are deeply suspicious of others when they are burying their seeds and nuts. In fact, they often dig up their caches and rebury them several times to prevent the possibility of theft. If they are certain they are being watched, they may choose to mislead the would-be thief by pretending to bury the seed or nut. They go through the entire burial process while keeping the food securely hidden in their mouth. This keen power of observation enables them to take advantage of their environment. Squirrels have been known to cross busy streets with a parade of humans as protection and to study other squirrels to pick up pointers about stealing food. Also, no one who has ever watched a squirrel defeat a "squirrel-proof" bird feeder would doubt their creativity in problem solving. They have shown themselves fully capable of screwing lids off containers and working out a way to retrieve food suspended on a string. Squirrels display a striking degree of determination and resourcefulness in solving problems that would otherwise keep them from their food.

Is this a sound and complete argument? Why or why not?

Every family should try an ocean-going beach vacation at least once. First, a beach vacation affords quality family time in an ultra-relaxation mode. Families these days are stressed out and controlled by hectic schedules, and sometimes even a vacation can end up stressful and hectic. At a relaxing beach, though, time seems to disappear into non-relevance as puffy white and gray clouds slowly pile up on the distant horizon over the rhythmically undulating ocean. And nothing is more relaxing than the sound of the rolling waves breaking onto the beach, the caressing winds playing tag, and catch-me-if-you-can with anything loose, or haunting cries of the seagulls as they surf wind currents above the ocean and beach.

Read the two excerpts.

"Remembering to Never Forget: Dominican Republic's 'Parsley Massacre’” by Mark Memmott:

Seventy-five years ago, thousands of Haitians were murdered in the Dominican Republic by a brutal dictator. It was one of the 20th Century's least-remembered acts of genocide.

As many as 20,000 people are thought to have been killed on orders given by Rafael Trujillo. But the "parsley massacre” went mostly unnoticed outside Hispaniola. Even there, many Dominicans never knew about what happened in early October 1937. They were kept in the dark by Trujillo's henchmen.

"A Genetics of Justice” by Julia Alvarez:

At this point I would always ask her why she and my father had returned to live in the country if they knew the dictatorship was so bad. And that's when my mother would tell me how, under pressure from his friends up north, Trujillo pretended to be liberalizing his regime. How he invited all exiles back to form political parties. How he announced that he would not be running in the next elections. My father had returned only to discover that the liberalization was a hoax staged so that the regime could keep the goodwill and dollars of the United States.

My father and mother were once again trapped in a police state.

How do the passages work together to develop a central idea?

The passages show how Alvarez’s family was affected by the parsley massacres when they returned.
The passages show how Alvarez and her family were tricked into returning to the Dominican Republic.
The passages show how people often did not know or understand the extent of Trujillo’s deceit.
The passages show how the events of Trujillo’s dictatorship are still not fully understood today.
