In stanza 3, why does the speaker’s mother “start an argument at the cash register”? Use details from the text to make inferences about what she wants. Th ere were no markets in Watts.

There were these small corner stores

we called marketas

who charged more money

for cheaper goods than what existed

in other parts of town.

Th e owners were oft en thieves in white coats

who talked to you like animals,

who knew you had no options;

who knew Watts was the preferred landfi ll

of the city.

One time, Mama started an argument

at the cash register.

In her broken English,

speaking with her hands,

she had us children stand around her

as she fought with her grocer

on prices & quality & dignity.

Mama became a woman swept

by a sobering madness;

she must have been what Moses saw

in the burning bush,

a pillar of fi re

consuming the still air

that reeked of overripe fruit

and bad meat from the frozen food

section.

She refused to leave

until the owner called the police.

The police came and argued too,

but Mama wouldn’t stop.

They pulled her into the parking lot,

called her crazy …

and then Mama showed them crazy!

They didn’t know what to do

but let her go, and Mama took us children

back toward home, tired of being tired.

Select the correct text in the passage. which sentence in this excerpt from abraham lincoln's second inaugural address conveys that he wanted the us civil war to end as soon as possible? neither party expected for the war the magnitude or the duration which it has already attained. neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with or even before the conflict itself should cease. each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. both read the same bible and pray to the same god, and each invokes his aid against the other. it may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just inging their bread from the sweat of other men's faces, but let us judge not, that we be not judged. the prayers of both could not be answered. that of neither has been answered fully. the almighty has his own purposes. "woe unto the world because of offenses, for it must needs be that offenses come, but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh" if we shall suppose that american slavery is one of those offenses which, in the providence of god, must needs come, but which, having continued through his appointed time, he now wills to remove, and that he gives to both north and south this terrible war as the woe due to those by whom the offense came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a living god always ascribe to him? fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. yet, if god wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the lord are true and righteous altogether." reset next
