GATHERING LEAVES By Robert Frost

Spades take up leaves No better than spoons, And bags full of leaves Are light as balloons.

I make a great noise Of rustling all day Like rabbit and deer Running away.

But the mountains I raise Elude my embrace, Flowing over my arms And into my face.

I may load and unload Again and again Till I fill the whole shed, And what have I then?

Next to nothing for weight, And since they grew dullerFrom contact with earth, Next to nothing for color.

Next to nothing for use. But a crop is a crop,

The Iron Giant plot summaryHogarth Hughes is a 9-year-old boy living in Rockwell, Maine in 1957. One night, while home alone, a large object comes crashing down from the sky and lands behind his house. He goes to investigate, and comes across a robotic giant feeding on the metal in a power plant. Hogarth is chased away by the strange machine, but returns and meets up with him again the next morning. The giant begins to follow him home, and Hogarth eventually allows him to live in the shed behind his house. Hogarth befriends the giant and the giant begins to speak and even learn. However, Kent Mansley, a government agent, sees the giant as a threat to the country, and isn't about to let him get away. Kent Mansley calls in all types of reinforcements to destroy the robot. After attacking it unsuccessfully several times, a nuclear missile is accidentally fired from a battleship. It seems that the missile will destroy the town. Once the nuclear missile is launched, the Iron Giant sacrifices himself to save the town of Rockwell, Maine by flying into space and colliding with it before it reenters Earth's atmosphere. After his presumed death, a statue is built in his honor. Hogarth gets along in the community after the robots death. One day, Hogarth discovers a stray bolt from the giant's remains, but it reactivates and makes its way (along with all the giant's other parts) to a glacier in Iceland, where he is self-reassembling.

You love going to soccer practice every Friday night. However, last week you had to go to dinner with your family instead, and this week a friend has invited you to the movies.

At a party, you spent a lot of time talking to a friend from your math class—just chatting. Now another classmate has spread rumors around school about the two of you.

For the past month, you have been bullied on the school bus by older middle school guys. They typically call you names and sometimes even poke at you. Finally one day, you get fed up and scream, “Don’t ever touch me again!”

You have a project due on Monday. Even though you have had several weeks to read, by Sunday night you’ve only read half the book. To make things worse, your teacher has stated, “I have high expectations for this assignment.”

Your school has a state level ice-hockey team—for boys. When you and a group of girlfriends want to start a girls’ hockey program, you’re told that, although it’s a nice idea, there just isn’t enough money in the athletic budget.

Although your friends say that you’re very attractive, you think just the opposite. You are overly critical about physical appearance.

You think someone from your fifth period class is extremely cute! You’ve been trying to work up the nerve to ask him/her out, but you’re just too scared.

Your dad is driving you and your friends to a big football game in town. Although you left in plenty of time, he seems to have lost his way. You think you saw the football field a couple of blocks back. When you tell your dad, he says, “Who’s driving—you or me?”

READING COMPREHENSION

Women Spies of the Civil War

In wartime, not all of the heroes are on the battlefield. Espionage – the practice of spying – can make the difference between winning and losing. During the Civil War, three of the most clever and courageous spies were women.

Confederate spy Belle Boyd was only 17 when the war began, but she outwitted men more than twice her age. When she was arrested and questioned by Allan Pinkerton, the head of Union espionage, Belle was so charming that she convinced Pinkerton she was not a spy. Pinkerton let her go, and Belle promptly went back to spying for the South. Belle traveled back and forth between the North and the South, carrying information about troop movements and Union plans. Once she listened to secret battle plans through an air vent in a hotel room. She was captured several times, but she never revealed information about the South. Belle was offered her freedom if she would take an oath of allegiance to the Union. However, she refused and remained in prison.

Like Belle Boyd, Elizabeth Van Lew was a southern woman, but she was a spy for the Union. Her neighbors knew that she was a Union sympathizer, and they knew that every day Elizabeth brought food to Union soldiers in the nearby prison. What they did not know was that she also hid escaping Union soldiers, often as many as 20 or 30, in a secret room in her huge house. Elizabeth’s neighbors were also unaware that she sent coded messages to the North through a network of people she had organized. When they finally grew suspicious, Elizabeth faked a nervous breakdown. They called her "Crazy Bet" and no longer took her seriously. When the Union army overtook her city, General Ulysses Grant sent a cavalry troop to protect her because he considered Elizabeth his most valuable agent.

Rose Greenhow was a wealthy southern widow who lived in Washington, D.C. She was a beautiful, charming woman with access to important information through her friends in Washington society. As a spy for the South, Rose delivered information that allowed the Confederate Army to win Bull Run, the first battle of the war. When she was finally arrested, the evidence found in her home revealed that Rose was the head of a ring of at least 50 spies, most of them women. Because of her popularity, she was released from prison and sent back to the South. She then sailed to Europe to try to raise support for the South in France and England. Rose sailed home with two-thousand dollars in gold and important letters, but a Union warship stopped the voyage. She took a small boat and tried to escape, but was drowned.

All three women believed ardently in their causes and were willing to die for them. Although they did not fight on a battlefield, these women used their wits and courage to make a difference in their world.
