    11th Grade English Worksheet Bundle: Volume Two Printable English worksheets from Edmentum's Study Island. Grade 11 English: Summary What’s so special about a bunch of green beans called edamame? It’s not just the name, but also the contents that make this seed a favorite among Japanese and Chinese people. Edamame is a fancy name coined for boiled soybeans. We all know how healthy and nutritious soybeans are. Eating half a cup of these tasty beans punches up the intake of protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals in a diet. An interviewer once saw Faith Hill snacking on edamame at an interview for Country Music Television. Soy is known to promote good health and prevent certain diseases. A recent study shows that soy helps reduce insulin resistance, kidney damage, and increases good cholesterol. Soy products have components that fight cancer. Isoflavone is the most active anti-cancer element in soy products. Studies show that consuming 100-200 milligrams of isoflavone a day can lower the risk of cancer. 1. What is a good summary of paragraph 2? A. Japanese and Chinese are the only people known to eat soy-based products. B. Since soy products are beneficial for one's health, celebrities eat them very regularly. C. Soy products contain isoflavone. This anti-cancer element can help reduce the risk of cancer. D.

  • Memoirs of a Geisha Arthur Golden Chapter One Suppose That You and I Were Sitting in a Quiet Room Overlooking a Gar-1 Den, Chatt
    Generated by ABC Amber LIT Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abclit.html Memoirs Of A Geisha Arthur Golden Chapter one Suppose that you and I were sitting in a quiet room overlooking a gar-1 den, chatting and sipping at our cups of green tea while we talked J about something that had happened a long while ago, and I said to you, "That afternoon when I met so-and-so . was the very best afternoon of my life, and also the very worst afternoon." I expect you might put down your teacup and say, "Well, now, which was it? Was it the best or the worst? Because it can't possibly have been both!" Ordinarily I'd have to laugh at myself and agree with you. But the truth is that the afternoon when I met Mr. Tanaka Ichiro really was the best and the worst of my life. He seemed so fascinating to me, even the fish smell on his hands was a kind of perfume. If I had never known him, I'm sure I would not have become a geisha. I wasn't born and raised to be a Kyoto geisha. I wasn't even born in Kyoto. I'm a fisherman's daughter from a little town called Yoroido on the Sea of Japan. In all my life I've never told more than a handful of people anything at all about Yoroido, or about the house in which I grew up, or about my mother and father, or my older sister-and certainly not about how I became a geisha, or what it was like to be one.

  • First Place Flash Fiction, Grades 7-8 Lily Wissler the Ten O'clock News
    First Place Flash Fiction, Grades 7-8 Lily Wissler The Ten O’clock News Jane Matthers felt her traitorous lips lift into a smile, though she did not let it drop right away. Swishing around the remainder of the drink in front of her, Jane was leaning on her elbows, balancing on the edge of her bar stool. She was antsy for something, though she would never admit to what it was. That was a secret she’d take with her to the grave. If the undisclosed were an object, she would carry it between her painstakingly sanitized hands and clutch it in front of her carefully chosen cardigan. Jane had been a cautious child. Picking and pulling apart her every movement. Her words had always been so premeditated that she often found herself saying things that belonged to future conversations. The quality showed now as she shushed her hiccupy-giggles with an ease that had been practiced for years. Jane recounted the evening’s events. The screams played over in her head like her own personal soundtrack. She had felt comfort in the stabbing and slashing. There was neatness to it like a freshly printed dictionary. Jane wasn’t as careful to withhold her giggles this time. She felt wise. She had taken care of everything, tied every loose end. What she hadn’t accounted for was the mess. Jane had to burn the cashmere sweater, but it was worth it. After the first spike of adrenaline, she knew it was worth it. With restless limbs, and soaring spirits, Jane watched the TVs before her.

    ORTEGA HIGHWAY An original screenplay by C.J. Walworth Contact: C.J.Walworth [email protected] 213/674-0395 EXT. CASINO PARKING STRUCTURE -- NIGHT Four bikers arrive O.S. Riding an eclectic mix of motorcycles, which range from Harley to crotch-rocket to dirt bike. The Bikers park their machines pointing so as to allow for a quick escape. They exit their bikes in unison. They have the looks of people up to no good: nervous, a bit jumpy, and tightly-strung. A moment later, A fifth biker, who drives a dirt bike, who we shall call SUZUKI, 25-ish, petite Native American, pulls up to speak with the Biker Boss, who we shall call DUCATI. He rides a purple Ducati motorcycle, is clad in expensive Euro riding leathers with purple highlights and he sports a green Mohawk atop his helmet. Suzuki whispers something into Ducati’s ear. Ducati contemplates whatever it was that Suzuki told him for a moment; Ducati is deep in thought. Ducati points away into the parking structure and commands Suzuki to move his bike to a position and -- DUCATI Keep an eye out for trouble. -- Suzuki slowly drives to the position. With Ducati in the lead, the four bikers move as a team on foot, towards what is most likely the Casino Entrance. However -- EXT. CASINO SIGN - MOMENTS LATER -- they arrive at a sign: One way points towards “CASINO” the other points to “CASINO OPERATIONS.” The bikers take the path to the “Casino Operations.” INT. CASINO OPERATIONS - MOMENTS LATER The four Bikers move cautiously through the area.

  • Oliver Twist—After the Edit
    Oliver Twist—After the Edit In this PDF version the original text is underlined; the remainder is Dickens's assumed compliance with “John Ross's” editorial notes CHAPTER 1 Treats of the place where a male child was born ; and of the circumstances surrounding his birth A thorn tree arched over the path across Fellgate Moor. The pitiless north wind keened through its bare branches, shaking them across the face of a gibbous moon. Its gnarled trunk afforded neither landmark nor shelter to the poor woman who laboured up that path, tricing her swollen but enfeebled body into the wind and keeping her leeward eye fixed on the light ahead—the only sign of human habitation in all that vast moorland waste. Nine months earlier that solitary thorn would have burst into blossom; then it would have made a cheerful bridal arch for that same woman. Indeed, it was not unlike the arch under which she had, at that very time, hoped to walk on her way into church and up to the very altar, there to seal in sacred vows the love she bore for one whose death had robbed her of that pledge. Your stern moralist would therefore say that its present deflowered state was most apt to her present condition—to which I reply that such a moralist had better hold his or her tongue, for an even sterner lesson is in store. When her feet wanted a good half-mile of the tall iron gates before which that solitary lantern swung in the wind, a bank of clouds scudded southward, extinguishing the moon and sprinkling a few tentative pellets of sleet among the heather and the dry, yellow sedge.

GREAT EXPECTATIONS -- by Charles Dickens Chapter 1 My father's family name being Pirrip, and my Christian name Philip, my infant tongue could make of both names nothing longer or more explicit than Pip. So, I called myself Pip, and came to be called Pip. I give Pirrip as my father's family name, on the authority of his tombstone and my sister - Mrs. Joe Gargery, who married the blacksmith. As I never saw my father or my mother, and never saw any likeness of either of them (for their days were long before the days of photographs), my first fancies regarding what they were like, were unreasonably derived from their tombstones. The shape of the letters on my father's, gave me an odd idea that he was a square, stout, dark man, with curly black hair. From the character and turn of the inscription, "Also Georgiana Wife of the Above," I drew a childish conclusion that my mother was freckled and sickly. To five little stone lozenges, each about a foot and a half long, which were arranged in a neat row beside their grave, and were sacred to the memory of five little brothers of mine - who gave up trying to get a living, exceedingly early in that universal struggle - I am indebted for a belief I religiously entertained that they had all been born on their backs with their hands in their trousers-pockets, and had never taken them out in this state of existence.

PHOTOS COURTESY OF GABRIELLE MARKS/PROVIDENCE COLLEGE TDF Below (L to R): Michael Henshaw '23, Steven Sawan '20, and Teddy Kiritsy '21G. by Madison Palmieri '22 A&E Staff THEATRE Something Rotten! is something special. Providence College’s Department of Theatre, Dance, and Film has been granted the privilege and honor of giving the show its northeastern regional collegiate premiere this past weekend. The production offers something for everyone, from casual theatregoers to diehard fans of Shakespeare, who will be sure to catch every one of the many theatrical references made throughout the show’s two acts. For the past couple of months, the talented cast and dedicated crew have worked tirelessly to bring the Tony Award-winning Broadway hit to life in the Angell BlackFriars Theatre in the Smith Center for the Arts. Directed by Jimmy Calitri, with music direction by Lila Kane and choreography by Jennifer Hopkins, the show chronicles the misadventures of the Bottom brothers, Nick and Nigel. It follows their attempts to create a successful show in Renaissance-era England, in an attempt to compete with their rival, the beloved William Shakespeare. With a colorful cast of characters and outrageously hilarious musical numbers, the brothers and their friends learn about the importance of friendship, love, and theatre.
