On such a windy day as this, who better to turn to than a Bronte..... LINES COMPOSED IN A WOOD ON A WINDY DAY by: Anne Bronte (1820-1849) MY soul is awakened, my spirit is soaring And carried aloft on the wings of the breeze; For above and around me the wild wind is roaring, Arousing to rapture the earth and the seas. The long withered grass in the sunshine is glancing, The bare trees are tossing their branches on high; The dead leaves beneath them are merrily dancing, The white clouds are scudding across the blue sky I wish I could see how the ocean is lashing The foam of its billows to whirlwinds of spray; I wish I could see how its proud waves are dashing, And hear the wild roar of their thunder to-day!

HINTS FOR COMPREHENSION Comprehension questions test you on your ability to recall and understand what you read in a passage .  Read the whole passage once before you answer any of the questions. You are allowed to go back and read the passages as many times as you want to. Read them carefully. Be careful not to leave marks around the answer bubbles. Try to fill them in neatly. When you answer the "Read, Think, and Explain" questions, think and organize what you want to say before writing down your ideas. Write your short and long answers neatly so that anyone can read them. After you read the passage, first answer the questions you know. Skip the ones that are too hard and go back later. Do not worry if you do not know the answers to questions. Keep going! Partial credit is given for "Read, Think, and Explain" questions, so write whatever you know. If there is time, go back and make sure that

A man is not where he lives, but where he loves.                                                                             Love Means... (a girl and guy were speeding over 100 mph on a motorcycle) Girl: Slow down. I'm scared. Guy: No this is fun. Girl: No its not. Please, it's too scary! Guy: Then tell me you love me. Girl: Fine, I love you. Slow down! Guy: Now give me a big hug. (Girl hugs him) Guy: Can you take my helmet off and put it on? It's bugging me. In the paper the next day: A motorcycle had crashed into a building because of break failure.  Two people were on the motorcycle, but only one survived. The truth was that halfway down the road, the guy realized that his breaks broke, but he didn't want to let the girl know.  Instead, he had her say she loved him, felt her hug one last time, then had her wear his helmet so she would live even though it meant he would die.
