Excerpt from Great Expectations
By Charles wingspanens

In the following excerpt Pip, a young boy, meets Miss Havisham, an elderly woman who has invited Pip to play with her young female companion.

"Who is it?" said the lady at the table.
"Pip, ma'am."
"Pip?"
"Mr. Pumblechook's boy, ma'am. Come—to play."
"Come nearer; let me look at you. Come close"
It was when I stood before her, avoiding her eyes, that I took note of the surrounding objects in detail, and saw that her watch had stopped at twenty minutes to nine, and that a clock in the room had stopped at twenty minutes to nine.
"Look at me," said Miss Havisham. "You are not afraid of a woman who has never seen the sun since you were born?"
I regret to state that I was not afraid of telling the enormous lie comprehended in the answer "No."
"Do you know what I touch here?" she said, laying her hands, one upon the other, on her left side.
"Yes ma'am." (It made me think of the young man.)
"What do I touch?"
"Your heart."
"Broken!"
She uttered the word with an eager look, and with strong emphasis, and with a weird smile that had a kind of boast in it. Afterwards she kept her hands there for a little while, and slowly took them away as if they were heavy.
"I am tired," said Miss Havisham. "I want diversion, and I have done with men and women. Play."
I think it will be conceded by my most disputatious reader, that she could hardly have directed an unfortunate boy to do anything in the wide world more difficult to be done under the circumstances.
"I sometimes have sick fancies," she went on, "and I have a sick fancy that I want to see some play. There, there!" with an impatient movement of the fingers of her right hand; "play, play, play!"

Description of the scene

Dialogue between two key characters

"Here's the thing. Now that you've helped me, its really dangerous. If you get caught, I'll get caught. They'll get anything you know out of you—" I held up my hand to forestall their protests. "No, stop. You haven't been through it. Everyone talks. Everyone breaks. If you're ever caught you tell them everything, right away, as fast as you can, as much as you can. They'll get it all eventually anyway. That's how they work."

"But you won't get caught, and here's why: you're not jammers anymore. You are retired from active duty. You're a—" I fished in my memory for vocabulary words culled from spy thrillers—"you're a sleeper cell. Stand down. Go back to being normal kids. One way or another, I'm going to break this thing, break it wide open, end it. Or it will get me, finally do me in. If you don't hear from me within 72 hours, assume they got me. Do whatever you want then. But for the next three days—and forever, if I do what I'm trying to do—stand down. Will you promise me that?"

Read this passage from the text:

In your hands, my fellow citizens, more than in mine, will rest the final success or failure of our course. Since this country was founded, each generation of Americans has been summoned to give testimony to its national loyalty.

What effect does Kennedy want these words to have?

A demand of loyalty from his followers

A feeling of personal responsibility

A remembrance of famous former leaders' allegiance

A dependence on each other to support the nation

Answer 49

@Sofitina

Answer 50

I think it would be A.

Answer 51

okay

Answer 52

Since this country was founded, each generation of Americans has been summoned to give testimony to its national loyalty. The graves of young Americans who answered the call to service surround the globe.

Why does Kennedy suggest an image of graves surrounding the globe?

To compare Americans who died with fighters from other countries

To show the lack of Americans willing to fight and die for their country

To quote previous presidents who thanked citizens for their service

To remember the many Americans who died fighting for their country

Answer 53

D

Answer 54

Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance, North and South, East and West, that can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind? Will you join in that historic effort?

What role does this passage play in the text?

Kennedy is using irony to subtly pressure listeners into voicing their support for a global alliance.

Kennedy is using metaphor to ask America's allies to form an alliance against the North and South.

Kennedy is using a rhetorical question to ask for support in making life better for everyone.

Kennedy is using simile to compare America's allies in the North and South with those in the East and West.

Answer 55

C

Answer 56

The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it—and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.

What figure of speech is Kennedy using in this sentence, and what effect does he want these words to have?

He is using hyperbole to inspire Americans to lead the rest of the world by their example.

He is using irony to explain that a single glow can never light up the entire world.

He is using metaphor to compare the countries of the world according to the quantity of light they produce.

He is using a contradiction to explain that even though some lights are so bright, they cannot illuminate great distances.
