Week 2 Exercise Exercise 3-1, p. 42 Underline the topic sentence in the following paragraph and cross out any material that does

not clarify or develop the central idea. Quilt making has served as an important means of social, political, and artistic expression for women. In the nineteenth century, quilting circles provided one of the few opportunities for women to forge social bonds outside of their families. Once a week or more, they came together to sew as well as trade small talk, advice, and news. They used dyed cotton fabrics much like the fabrics quilters use today; surprisingly, quilters' basic materials haven't changed that much over the years. Sometimes the women joined their efforts in support of a political cause, making quilts that would be raffled to raise money for temperance societies, - hospitals for sick and wounded soldiers, and the fight against slavery. Quilt making also afforded women a means of artistic expression at a time when they had few other creative outlets. Within their socially acceptable roles as homemakers, many quilters subtly pushed back at the restrictions placed on them by experimenting with color, design, and technique.​

1. The topic sentence in the passage is underlined as follows: "Quilt making has ... expression for women."

  • The topic sentence discusses the role of quilt making in enabling women to self-express themselves.

2. The material that does not clarify or develop the central idea is: "They used dyed cotton fabrics ...; surprisingly, ... years."

  • This statement has no relevance to the topic sentence.  It digresses from the main topic to discuss the materials used for quilting instead of concentrating on the social, political, and artistic significance that quilting generates for women, as captured in the topic sentence.

Thus, the topic sentence captures the main idea of the passage.  Other sentences help to develop and support the main idea.

Answer:

How onions got there flavor and

Color.       By:victoria purvis

A long time ago there lived a hateful king and queen. One day the king decided to make the national kingdom food onions. He said “they and sweet, healthy, and bright blue.”

When the little onion family heard this they were terrified. The father onion of this family said to his wife and seven daughters “ it will all be ok i’ll go and speak with the king.”

So early the next day his wife packed him food and water and kissed him goodbye as he set off on his long trip. When mr.onion got to the palace he asked to see the king about an important matter. When mr.onion finally got to see the king he said “ please oh, please change the national food I do not wish for me and my family to die.” The king replied by saying “ NO, onions are sweet, healthy, and best of all bright blue.”

Mr onion left sadly and suddenly he remembered the wizard who help those who believed in him. So he went to the wizards large fine wood cabin and said “oh great one me and my family are in trouble do to the king please, oh please help me.” The nice wizard simply said “ I shall help you, but you know the rules you must trust  me.” Mr. onion said “ yes of course great one.” The wizard started to chant and all of a sudden Mr. onion started to feel weird so he looked in the mirror and there he was as white as can be.

The wizard said “ now no one will eat you for you are plain and sour. Mr.Onion said his thanks and started to travel home. By the time he got there the king had changed his mind and the onion family was safe.

As Mr. onion grew older he started to wonder what would have happened if he hadn’t trusted the wizard, what would have happened? He just said to himself  “ you always have to trust one another to be happy.” and in his case safe to.  So the onion family lived happily ever after.

Written questions:

Number 5: Stanzas 12-13 contribute to the theme of the poem by showing how Casey's pride gets the best of him and he ends up striking out.

Discussion questions:

1. Casey's pride causes him to strike out because he thinks he is going to hit no matter what.

2. Casey attained this power by working hard and being good at baseball. We elevate athletes because we admire their ability and talent in the sport they play just like Casey's fans admire him when the text says, "...It pounded on the mountain and recoiled upon the flat, For Casey, mighty casey, was advancing to the bat."

3. Casey does not utilize this power wisely. His power and fame are corrupt because he is so arrogant to the point where he thinks he controls his fans.
