name.

Line 2: Print today’s date, using the numbers of the month, the day, and the year.

Line 3: Print your birth date with the number of the month first, then the number of the day, then the last

letter as the box. If there is a space or a hyphen in your name, fill in the circle under the appropriate blank or

hyphen.

Make dark marks that completely fill the circles. If you change a mark, be sure to erase the first mark

completely.

Grid 5: Carefully copy the order in which you ranked the specialized high schools on your Test Ticket onto

grid. The school choices indicated on your answer sheet are final.

Fill in one and only one circle for each school for which you wish to be considered. You may make as

Read the excerpt from ernest hemingway’s “soldier's home.” his father was in the real estate business and always wanted the car to be at his command when he required it to take clients out into the country to show them a piece of farm property. the car always stood outside the first national bank building where his father had an office on the second floor. now, after the war, it was still the same car. nothing was changed in the town except that the young girls had grown up. how does hemingway’s description of the town as unchanged impact the readers’ perception of krebs? it emphasizes that while the town has remained the same, krebs has changed. it illustrates that krebs despises the town he grew up in because it is boring. it demonstrates that krebs views himself as similar to the other soldiers from his town. it reveals that krebs is jealous of those who were able to stay in town and avoid the war.
