What's dressed in all black, practices stealth, and is a master of espionage, sabotage, and assassination? You guessed it: it's a ninja!
Perhaps the only thing more elusive than a ninja is the source of the word ninja. In China ninja are
more often referred to as shinobi. The Chinese word shinobi, short for shinobl-no-mono, means "to
steal away." The word shinobi appears in Chinese poems as far back as the eighth century. So how
did this word become ninja? Some believe that during the Edo period in Japan, the word shinobi-no-
mono was appropriated and transformed to the very similar word ninja. This probably happened
because it was a lot quicker and easier to just say ninja. It is difficult to see how such a
transformation could have occurred when we look at the words using our alphabet, but if you look at
the kanji representing these words, it may make more sense to you. This is how you write shinobi-
no-mono in Chinese: RO*. And this is how you write ninja: 3%. Now do you see the
similarities?
1. Main Idea related title for the passage:
2. Summarize the passage in your own words:

read this passage from the crisis. what rationale is paine using for going to war with great britain? my own line of reasoning is to myself as straight and clear as a ray of light. not all the treasures of the world, so far as i believe, could have induced me to support an offensive war, for i think it murder; but if a thief breaks into my house, burns and destroys my property, and kills or threatens to kill me, or those that are in it, and to "bind me in all cases whatsoever" to his absolute will, am i to suffer it? what signifies it to me, whether he who does it is a king or a common man; my countryman or not my countryman; whether it be done by an individual villain, or an army of them? if we reason to the root of things we shall find no difference; neither can any just cause be assigned why we should punish in the one case and pardon in the other.

it is waged war against an army of countrymen

it would lead to independence from britain

it would be an offensive war

it would be a defensive war

1. this would be first person. it would be like "i walked home from school today" they are the narrator of the story and is a character as well.

2. first person because they used the word "i" in the quote.

3. i'm really not sure about this one i'm really sorry i never read it so i wouldn't know how to answer it. 

4. it would be character vs. society because everyone he meets there is always a conflict of some sort because he's stuck in his daydream.

5. it would be sadness at the loss of youth because the title itself tells us it's about age so it couldn't be about regret. and the tone just sounds sad, not angry. 

i hope this !
