PLEASE HELP I NEED IN 5 MINSSS!!!
THE WORLD WITH A THOUSAND MOONS
CHAPTER 1: Thrill Cruise
By Edmond Hamilton

Lance Kenniston felt the cold realization of failure as he came out of the building into the sharp chill of the Martian night. He stood for a moment, his lean, drawn face haggard in the light of the two hurtling moons.

He looked hopelessly across the dark spaceport. It was a large one, for this ancient town of Syrtis was the main port of Mars. The forked light of the flying moons showed many ships docked on the tarmac—a big liner, several freighters, a small, shining cruiser and other small craft. And for lack of one of those ships, his hopes were ruined!

A squat, brawny figure in shapeless space-jacket came to Kenniston's side. It was Holk Or, the Jovian who had been waiting for him.

"What luck?" asked the Jovian in a rumbling whisper.

"It's hopeless," Kenniston answered heavily. "There isn't a small cruiser to be had at any price. The meteor-miners buy up all small ships here."

"The devil!" muttered Holk Or, dismayed. "What are we going to do? Go on to Earth and get a cruiser there?"

"We can't do that," Kenniston answered. "You know we've got to get back to that asteroid within two weeks. We've got to get a ship here."

Desperation made Kenniston's voice taut. His lean, hard face was bleak with knowledge of disastrous failure.

The big Jovian scratched his head. In the shifting moonlight his battered green face expressed ignorant perplexity as he stared across the busy spaceport.

"That shiny little cruiser there would be just the thing," Holk Or muttered, looking at the gleaming, torpedo-shaped craft nearby. "It would hold all the stuff we've got to take; and with robot controls we two could run it."

"We haven't a chance to get that craft," Kenniston told him. "I found out that it's under charter to a bunch of rich Earth youngsters who came out here in it for a pleasure cruise. A girl named Loring, heiress to Loring Radium, is the head of the party."

The Jovian swore. "Just the ship we need, and a lot of spoiled kids are using it for thrill-hunting!"

Kenniston had an idea. "It might be," he said slowly, "that they're tired of the cruise by this time and would sell us the craft. I think I'll go up to the Terra Hotel and see this Loring girl."

"Sure, let's try it anyway," Holk Or agreed.

With the Jovian clumping along beside him, Kenniston made his way from the spaceport across the ancient Martian city.

Why does the author include the following detail: "You know we've got to get back to that asteroid within two weeks. We've got to get a ship here."?

It tells readers there is something important happening on that asteroid.
It makes readers think that Kenniston has not been trying hard enough.
It suggests that Lance Kenniston and Holk Or are in the wrong location.
It foreshadows that Holk Or is going to take over the planet by force.

Read the passage from "The Lady, or the Tiger.”

This semi-barbaric king had a daughter as blooming as his most florid fancies, and with a soul as fervent and imperious as his own. As is usual in such cases, she was the apple of his eye, and was loved by him above all humanity. Among his courtiers was a young man of that fineness of blood and lowness of station common to the conventional heroes of romance who love royal maidens. This royal maiden was well satisfied with her lover, for he was handsome and brave to a degree unsurpassed in all this kingdom, and she loved him with an ardor that had enough of barbarism in it to make it exceedingly warm and strong. This love affair moved on happily for many months, until one day the king happened to discover its existence.

Which conclusion does the passage best support?

The princess is strongly barbaric, so she will choose the tiger.
The princess loves the young man enough to choose the lady.
The king is semi-barbaric, so he will make sure the young man gets the tiger.
The king loves his daughter strongly enough that he will pardon the young man.

Utopia is defined as an imagined place or state of things in which everything is perfect. Utopia usually pertains to the
government, laws, and social conditions.
Imagine a world in which all people were living in the absolute best conditions. What does your utopia look like? What
kind of people would live there? Who would make all the decisions? Describe a day living in your utopia.
DO: Be thorough. "A world" and "how people live" cover a lot of territory. You should have at least 5 paragraphs.
DON'T: Dismiss ideas as unrealistic. Your job is to dream up the "what" and maybe the "why." We're not concerned with
"how."

how does paragraph 4 contribute to the development of the themeof the story?
Mrs. Pynchum kept the poor-farm, and Gobaly was “town’s poor.” The boys sometimes called him that, when he went to coast on Three-Pine Hill or to see the skating on the mill-pond; and sometimes, too, they made fun of his clothes. But it was only the boys who were a great deal bigger than he who dared to make fun of Gobaly, and some of them even ran when he doubled up his fists. But Methuselah!5 I don’t know what would have become of Methuselah if he had not had Gobaly to defend him. For he was a delicate little fellow; “spindlin’ and good for nothin’,” Mrs. Pynchum called him; and he had come to her in a basket — in other words, Methuselah was a foundling. Mrs. Pynchum “didn’t think much of children who came from nobody knew where. It didn’t seem to belong to Poplarville to support him, since he didn’t belong to anybody that ever lived there, and his keep and his medicine cost more than he would ever be worth, to anybody.”

Read the excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass.

Which central idea is developed and supported by this passage?

An enslaved person is treated no better than an animal.

Keeping people enslaved makes slaveholders inhuman.

Hypocrisy in religion is used to justify slavery.

Justice for enslaved people is impossible.
