a summer to remember
(1) when my parents told me i had to spend the summer with my uncle graham and aunt minnie, i begged them not to make me go. (2) however, i still found myself on a bus heading west.
(3) my uncle picked me up at the station, and i didn’t say much on the drive to his house. (4) i spent the day alone in the guest room, feeling absolutely miserable. (5) i covered my face with a pillow and hoped my sniffles were inaudible to everyone else in the house. (6) that first day, i emerged from the room only to eat meals with my aunt and uncle. (7) wondering what my mom was cooking at home, i stared at the chicken on my plate at dinner.
(8) the next morning, i awoke to an endless knocking on my door. (9) my aunt brought some food into my room. (10) aunt minnie placed the tray on the dresser and sat on the edge of my bed. (11) “because i have talked to your mom, i know that you love banana bread, annette. (12) i’m making some just especially for you,” she said, and i smiled.
(13) after breakfast, i went downstairs and spent time with my little cousin, lena. (14) she had wooden dolls that wore cute clothes. (15) i haven’t played with dolls in years, but it was fun. (16) afterward, i worked with my aunt in the garden, planting seeds for the first time in my life. (17) uncle graham brought home a dvd to watch after dinner. (18) we ate popcorn and laughed through the entire movie. (19) i began to realize that people choose to have fun or be unhappy. (20) the next day, we went to a neighbor’s house for a barbecue. (21) i met a boy named will and his sister, toni. (22) we have many similiar interests. (23) they invited me to go to the pool the next day. (24) uncle graham said i could go (but only if i promised to have fun).
(25) i spent the next afternoon at the pool with my new friends. (26) i met some other kids they knew, and we made exciting plans for the summer. (27) when i got home, aunt minnie said she was planning a surprise birthday party for uncle graham. (28) she asked me to organize it, and i enthusiastically agreed. (29) at that moment, i was certain that forgetting the events of this summer would be as likely as forgetting my own name. (30) this summer was great!

Read the excerpt from the war of the worlds, which includes a description of setting shortly after the martians' first deadly attack. the undulating common seemed now dark almost to blackness, except where its roadways lay grey and pale under the deep blue sky of the early night. it was dark, and suddenly void of men. overhead the stars were mustering, and in the west the sky was still a pale, bright, almost greenish blue. the tops of the pine trees and the roofs of horsell came out sharp and black against the western afterglow. the martians and their appliances were altogether invisible, save for that thin mast upon which their restless mirror wobbled. patches of bush and isolated trees here and there smoked and glowed still, and the houses towards woking station were sending up spires of flame into the stillness of the evening air. what options accurately explain how the narrator's feelings are reflected in the setting? (select all that apply.)the war of the worldsthe narrator is comforted by the oncoming evening, as reflected in the setting details. for example, he says the martians are invisible. the narrator is distressed by the deceptive quiet of the evening, as reflected in the setting details. for example, he still sees smoke from the widespread destruction. the setting details to reveal the narrator's feelings of both relief and apprehension. for example, although the martians are not seen any longer, the remnants of the attack are still quite visible, and it's not clear whether the danger is over. the setting details reflect the narrator's feelings of both fascination and relief. for example, although one of the martians' odd tools is still visible, the creatures themselves no longer pose a threat.
