Review this excerpt from "Lather and Nothing Else."

I estimated he had a four-days’ growth of beard, the four days he had been gone on the last foray after our men. His face looked burnt, tanned by the sun.

I started to work carefully on the shaving soap. I scraped some slices from the cake, dropped them into the mug, then added a little lukewarm water, and stirred with the brush. The lather soon began to rise.

"The fellows in the troop must have just about asmuch beard as I.” I went on stirring up lather.

Facing a Giant


It was the defining moment of my otherwise unremarkable time on our school's softball team. My performance on the team had been modest at best, and we were playing the most important game of the season. A victory here would ensure a trip to the state's championship game (something our team had never done); a loss meant our season was unceremoniously finished.

I glanced over at the towering behemoth with super-human strength on the pitcher's mound and approached home plate with the confidence of a cedar log before a wood chipper. Her pitching was stellar; she had struck out our first three batters immediately, and it had stunned our team. Astonished, we renewed our focus on the game with a laser-like concentration that was unprecedented. Still, I was the David to her Goliath.

The first two pitches torpedoed by me like bullets.

"STEE-RIKE!" the umpire bellowed.

The following three pitches were hurled at me with the intention of luring me into swinging at a bad pitch. In mere seconds, it was a full count, and everything rested upon the next pitch—and whether or not I swung my bat.

I stepped back and breathed deeply, temporarily paralyzed with anxiety. Maybe David had felt this way when he faced Goliath, I thought. I glanced at the renowned pitcher and tried not to think about the fact that she was an all-star pitcher; that she had pitched so well that other teams had not scored a single run against her; that she had led her team to two state championships.

I stepped back up to home plate and saw her nod her head as though she'd already struck me out. Keeping my eye on the ball, I raised my bat, my heart pounding in my ears. Then the ball was racing toward me, and before I could even think, I swung with a supernatural strength.

CRACK! Stunning the pitcher (and myself), I hit the ball directly toward the pitcher who leaped at the ball in a feeble attempt to catch it. Fortunately for me, all she succeeded in doing was knocking it to the ground where it rolled around her feet while I sprinted for first base as if my life depended upon it.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the pitcher pick up the softball and hurl it to first base. It was going to be close, so I put on a burst of speed and felt my foot hit the base just as the first baseman caught the ball. Did I make it? Was I out? I looked at the umpire.

"SAFE!" she yelled.

The relief that washed over me was a cool breeze on a hot summer day. We had the lead.

It was a pivotal moment for our team. Inspired by the turn of events, we played the rest of the game with more grit than I had ever seen, and while we did not score another run, neither did the opposing team. We were headed to the championship.

The Seven Ages of Man

by William Shakespeare (adapted excerpt)

All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first, the infant,
Mewling and crying in the nurse's arms;
Then the whining school-boy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his lady friend's eye-brow. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard1,
Jealous in honor, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the Justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lined,—
With eyes severe, and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slippered pantaloon2,
With spectacles on nose, and pouch on side;
His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness, and mere oblivion . . .

This creative project will get you to reach back to the course for skills and ideas you picked up along the way and use them to think about the novel. Choose ONE of the following assignments:
Choice 1: Diary Entries
Choose a character from Animal Farm and write 10 diary entries from their point of view. The diary should span the entire story, so that you'll be writing about events that take place throughout the novel. Include plenty of details to show that you understand the story as well as the character's feelings, motivations, and emotions, as well as how they relate to the theme of the story.
Choice 2: Picture Collage
Create a collage using digital images or by cutting images from magazines. Use at least 10 images. The collage should represent the plot of Animal Farm. Write a 2-page essay that explains the images you chose.
If you create a physical collage, be sure you take a very clear photograph or create a clear scan of the project.
Choice 3: Additional Chapter
Write a 3-5 page additional chapter to the novel. Continue the story as if you were the author, writing in the same style and as if this chapter were planned all along. Make sure you take into account the motivations of the characters.
Keep in mind that the final chapter of Animal Farm takes place many years later and several animals have died. It ends with a fight between the pigs and humans, and the pigs also start to look like humans. Will your extra chapter continue the events in Chapter 10? Will you skip further ahead? Will you focus on the point of view of a particular character who is left, and if so, which character might be the most interesting one to continue the story? How will the chapter relate to the overall theme or message of the story?
