Hi Jane!
I've been meaning to write for ages and finally today I'm actually doing something about it. Not that I'm trying to make excuses for myself, it's been really hard to sit down and write, as I've been moving around so much. Since we last saw each other I've unpacked my bags in four different cities.
I went from London to Prague to set up a new regional office there. You know I'd always wanted to go, but maybe I was imagining Prague in spring when I used to talk about that. Winter was really hard, with minus 15 degrees in the mornings and dark really early in the evening. But at least it was blue skies and white snow and not days on end of grey skies and rain, like at home.
From there I was on another three-month mission to oversee the set-up of the office in New York. Loved, loved, loved New York! It's like being in one big TV show, as everywhere looks just a little bit familiar. I did every tourist thing you can think of when I wasn't working, and must have spent most of my salary on eating out. It was really hard to leave for the next job, especially as I kind of met someone (!) More about Michael later ...
So then I was posted to LA, which felt like a whole other country compared with the East Coast. I could definitely get used to that kind of outdoor, beach lifestyle, but I didn't spend as much time getting to know California as I could have because I was flying back to see Michael every other weekend. He came to see me when he could, but his job means he's often working at weekends, so he couldn't make the flight very often. Those three months flew by and then I was off again, to Frankfurt, which is where I am now. And ... so is Michael! He got a month off work and we're trying to work out how we can be in the same place at the same time for a while. We figure the first step in that direction is getting married, which is also why I wanted to write – I can't get married without my oldest friend there! The wedding's going to be at home in London in September and I hope you can come!
Anyway, tell me all your news and I promise not to leave it so long this time! Lots of love,
Kath

Question 1: What was the author’s purpose(s) in writing this text?
Question 2: How was the text organized?
Question 3: How do the type/ topic/ ideas from the text relate to things you have been doing?
Question 4: If you were Jane, what would you write to reply Kath?

Answer:

1. The author's purpose was to tell "Jane" about where she's traveled to since they last spoke. She states that " it's been really hard to sit down and write, as I've been moving around so much. Since we last saw each other I've unpacked my bags in four different cities." This suggests that she's going to explain where she's been and what has happened to her, which she does.

2. The text was organized in chronological order. The author starts with the first events since they last spoke, and ends with the most recent events.

3. I believe this is a question only you can answer, as it asks about what you're doing.

4. If I were Jane, I would tell her about what's happened to me, but I would also ask her how sure she was about Michael. I would also want to know why she didn't call or text, or find a way to tell me about Michael until they decided that they wanted to get married. After all, I'm her "oldest friend." I would also want to know what Michael is like and how long she's known him.

I hope this helps (please don't quote my answers word for word)

Which statement best describes the epic feature used in this excerpt and its effect on the plot? The difficult journey that Gilgamesh must undertake causes him to feel defeated. The vast landscape that Gilgamesh must travel through adds tension to the plot. The intervention of the supernatural gives Gilgamesh hope that he will defeat Humbaba. The narrative voice of the epic poem makes it difficult for the audience to relate to Gilgamesh.

Read the following poem and answer the question that follows. "I Like to See It Lap the Miles" by Emily Dickinson I like to see it lap the miles, And lick the valleys up, And stop to feed itself at tanks; And then, prodigious, step Around a pile of mountains, And, supercilious, peer In shanties by the sides of roads; And then a quarry pare To fit its sides, and crawl between, Complaining all the while In horrid, hooting stanza; Then chase itself down hill And neigh like Boanerges; Then, punctual as a star, Stop—docile and omnipotent— At its own stable door. This poem describes a train as if it were a horse. Examine the imagery of the line in bold. What does it describe? A.) A train stopping to let get fuel and passengers B.) A train showing up late to its home station C.) A train breaking down in the middle of the track D.) A train stopping to let passengers enjoy the view
