Don’t Look Back Now is the story of Keisha (Joy Taylor), a woman who has moved across country to escape her creepy ex-boyfriend stalker, Tom (Kevin Highsmith). However, mysterious things keep happening to the people in Keisha’s life, and the authorities don’t believe her. But there’s one thing nobody knows – she’s got a secret that will make anyone coming to harm her regret it – especially Tom. This thriller is an exciting roller coaster ride that constantly keeps the audience guessing. Director Juliette Cho knows exactly how to manipulate the camera to capture every shadow and peripheral movement, keeping the viewer on edge. The close-up shots feel claustrophobic, like the perspective is skewed. For any other movie this might be annoying, but for this one, it helps put the viewer in Keisha’s suspicious shoes very well. With a running time of 98 minutes, the pacing is quick and efficient, and Cho uses cinematography deftly to show the quick and jerky passage of time from Keisha’s perspective. The performances are rock solid all the way through. Joy Taylor is brittle and violent, simmering below the surface with rage. You can see the toll this stalking experience has had on her in every twitch of her eye and clench of her jaw. The strength she displays once the film shifts into the darker, triumphant second act is a wonder to behold. Kevin Highsmith gives off just the right vibe of charming and sinister as Tom, effortlessly shifting his entire performance between sweet and suddenly dangerous. This is a tense thrill ride that will not disappoint fans of Joy Taylor or this genre in general. You can find Don’t Look Back Now at the Main Street Metroplex 12 and the Movie Palace 20 starting Friday.

Question 1 (1 point) Grandma Kay Lyle Crabtree Emily and her younger sister, Claire, flitted about the kitchen like worker bees in a hive while Grandma Kay, the dignified queen, oversaw the operation. Preparing Sunday dinner for their entire family was no easy task, but Grandma Kay always did so much for the girls that they just couldn’t say no to helping her. It was their way of showing respect for Grandma Kay, and if they had learned one thing from Grandma Kay, it was to respect their elders. “Emily, come here, and I’ll teach you to knead the dough,” said Grandma Kay. Her voice somehow had the authority of an army general and the kindness of a kindergarten teacher. Emily observed as Grandma Kay folded, pressed, and rolled the dough like a sculptor molding clay. As she watched, Emily thought about how Grandma Kay had shaped her life. Grandma Kay had taught her about honesty, fairness, trust, and hard work. Grandma Kay paused to inspect Claire’s cake batter. “It still has lumps, Claire. You can do better than that. What do I always say?” asked Grandma Kay. ‘Do the best job you can, no matter what,” said Claire, reciting one of Grandma Kay’s favorite phrases and rolling her eyes. Emily gave her sister a sympathetic smile, but inside, she knew Grandma Kay actually lived by those words. At eighteen, Grandma Kay had immigrated to the United States from Ireland. She had always been independent, but upon her arrival in New York City, she was actually alone. Grandma Kay worked hard to earn a living and pay rent, but city life was too expensive. She soon moved to a much smaller town. For a while, Grandma Kay worked in a dress factory during the day and waited tables at night to make ends meet. Grandma Kay never let her difficult circumstances get the best of her, though. Even on the darkest days, she looked for the silver lining among the clouds. She threw herself into her work and smiled the whole time. Later that afternoon, Emily, Claire, and Grandma beamed with pride as their family piled into the dining room. Everyone raved about glossy, maple-glazed ham, golden macaroni and cheese, herbed potatoes, and chocolate cake wrapped in swirls of raspberry frosting. Based on the passage, which word best describes Grandma Kay? O cowardly O sinister O nonchalant dignified
Question 2 (1 point) The Best Camping Trip of his Life Racy Wilson 1 David couldn’t wait to get off work, for he had an exciting weekend planned. He and his seven-year-old son, Landon, were going on a camping trip. As David drove toward the Greenville suburb where Landon lived with his mother, the guilt gnawed at him. He hated that since the divorce nearly a year ago he had not spent the quality time with Landon that he now wished he had. The two-hour drive to Landon’s new home only complicated the wish for more frequent visits. David decided he was not going to dwell on the past but instead look to the future. This weekend camping trip was just what they needed. 2 When David arrived, Landon met him at the door, grinning like someone who’d just won the lottery. An hour later they were setting up camp. Before long, they headed to the creek bank with fishing poles in hand. As they each sat on a five-gallon bucket, few words were spoken, but David knew that old wounds were healing. As Landon reeled in a tiny bream, he looked over at his dad and said, “You know what, Dad? This is the most fun I’ve ever had.” Even though his throat was tightening in an effort to hold back tears, David managed to say, “Me too, Son. Me, too.” Why was Landon “grinning like someone who’d just won the lottery” at the beginning of paragraph two?
O He had a new pet that he was anxious to show off to his father. He knew that his father had brought him a surprise gift. He’d just gotten a report card full of high grades. He was happy to see his Dad and excited about their camping trip. Question 3 (1 point) Pride and Prejudice Jane Austen 1 It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a large fortune must be in want of a wife. 2 However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered the rightful property of someone or other of their daughters. 3 “My dear Mr. Bennet,” said his lady to him one day, “have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?”
4 Mr. Bennet replied that he had not. 5 “But it is,” returned she; “for Mrs. Long has just been here, and she told me all about it.” 6 Mr. Bennet made no answer. 7 “Do you not want to know who has taken it?” cried his wife impatiently. 8 “You want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it.” 9 This was invitation enough. 10 “Why, my dear, you must know, Mrs. Long says that Netherfield is taken by a young man of large fortune from the north of England; that he came down on Monday in a chaise and four to see the place, and was so much delighted with it, that he agreed with Mr. Morris immediately; that he is to take possession before Michaelmas, and some of his servants are to be in the house by the end of next week.” 11 “What is his name?” 12 “Bingley.” 13 “Is he married or single?” 14 “Oh! Single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls!” 15 “How so? How can it affect them?” 16 “My dear Mr. Bennet,” replied his wife. “How can you be so tiresome! You must know that I am thinking of his marrying one of them.” After reading the conversation between Mrs. Bennet and her husband, Mr. Bennet, how would you best describe Lady Bennet? Use 2 pieces of textual evidence to support your description.

Fredrick Douglass on the Declaration of Independence
Fredrick Douglass
1 On July 5, 1852, Douglass gave a speech at an event commemorating the signing of the Declaration of Independence, held at Rochester’s Corinthian Hall. It was biting oratory, in which the speaker told his audience, “This Fourth of July is yours, not mine. You may rejoice, I must mourn.” And he asked them, “Do you mean, citizens, to mock me, by asking me to speak to-day?”
2 Within the now-famous address is what historian Philip S. Foner has called “probably the most moving passage in all of Douglass’ speeches.”
3 What, to the American slave, is your 4th of July? I answer: a day that reveals to him, more than all other days in the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the constant victim. To him, your celebration is a sham; your boasted liberty, an unholy license; your national greatness, swelling vanity; your sounds of rejoicing are empty and heartless; your denunciation of tyrants brass fronted impudence; your shout of liberty and equality, hollow mockery; your prayers and hymns, your sermons and thanks-givings, with all your religious parade and solemnity, are to him, mere bombast, fraud, deception, impiety, and hypocrisy — a thin veil to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages. There is not a nation on the earth guilty of practices more shocking and bloody than are the people of the United States, at this very hour.
What is the author’s purpose in the passage? to entertain to convince to repel to describe

What is the effect of the word swelling in Douglass’s phrase, swelling vanity? A. It praises America for being rightfully proud of itself on this important day of celebration. B. It makes America’s vanity seem bloated, pompous, and filled with an overweening pride. C. It makes for a very humorous image that adds to the comedy of Douglass’s entire speech. D. It has no effect whatsoever.
Question 3 (1 point)
I Have A Dream
Martin Luther King, Jr.
1 I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation. 2 Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.
3 But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languishing in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. So we have come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.
4 In a sense we have come to our nation’s capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
5 It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked “insufficient funds.” But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. So we have come to cash this check — a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice. We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quick sands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God’s children.

Which of the following literary devices is most prominent in the excerpt? “They were golden eagles, a male and a female, in their mating flight. They were cavorting, spinning and spiralling on the cold, clear columns of air, and they were beautiful. They swooped and hovered, leaning on the air, and swung close together, feinting and screaming with delight. The female was full-grown, and the span of her broad wings was greater than any man’s height. There was a fine flourish to her motion: she was deceptively, incredibly fast, and her pivots and wheels were wide and full-blown. But her great weight was streamlined, perfectly controlled. She carried a rattlesnake; it hung shining from her feet, limp and curving out in the trail of her flight. Suddenly her wings and rail fanned, catching full on the wind, and for an instant she was still, widespread and spectral in the blue, while her mate flared past and away, turning round in the distance to look for her.” O imagery allusion theme X enjambment
