1. respond: what was your reaction when you read the final sentences of
this story?
2. recall: what happened when the judge tried to get emily to pay her
taxes?
3. infer: what does this incident reveal about emily’s relationship

4. recall: what had been the position of emily’s family in jefferson
while her father was living?

for me, balancing all your work/homework is the hardest part in high school and the exams.
