Theme
Define theme: The message the author wants to get across about his or her work
What is the theme of the entire play of A Christmas Carol? Scrooge learns that money does not buy happiness; it comes
from sharing and connecting with others.
What is the theme of Touching Spirit Bear? Even though we all make mistakes, all people deserve a second chance to
redeem themselves and heal the hurt they caused others.
Theme Practice “Epaminondas” Read the selection, and then answer the questions that follow.
(1) Epaminondas lived with his mama in a little house on a hill. He was a sweet boy, but as his mama
always said, not the brightest bulb in the lamp! Most days, Epaminondas went to visit his auntie. She
lived on the other side of the hill. He loved to walk through the forest and cross the stream to her
house. Most days she gave him something to take home.
(2) One day Auntie gave Epaminondas half a cake. He grabbed it in his fists and carried it home. When he
got there, it was smeared all over his hands. "What have you got there?" asked Mama.
(3) "Cake, Mama," said Epaminondas.
"Epaminondas, that's no way to carry cake!" said Mama. "You wrap it in clean leaves and put it in your
(4)
hat. Now will you remember that?"
(5) "Yes, Mama," said Epaminondas.
(6) The next week, Auntie gave Epaminondas some fresh, sweet butter. He wrapped it in leaves and put it
in his hat. It was a hot day. The butter began to melt and when he got home, it was all over him. His
mama cried, "That's no way to carry butter! You wrap it in leaves, cool it in the brook, and carry it
home! Will you remember that?"

(7) By and by, Auntie gave Epaminondas a puppy. He wrapped it in leaves, cooled it in the brook, and
carried it home. His mama rubbed the poor shivering pup with a soft towel and fed it warm soup.
"That's no way to treat a puppy!" she said. "You tie a string around its neck, put it on the ground, and
walk it home! Will you remember?"
(8) "Yes, Mama," said Epaminondas.
(9) Today, Auntie gave Epaminondas a freshly-baked loaf of bread. He tied a string around it, put it on the
ground, and walked home! The birds loved it because there were enough crumbs on the ground to feed
a flock for a week! But when he got home, all he had left was a small, sticky lump of bread stuck to the
string!
(10) His mama shook her head and said, "No sense telling you any more, Epaminondas! Now I'm going to get
more bread from Auntie. You see those pies cooling on the porch? They're for the bake sale. While I'm
gone, you mind how you step in those pies!"
(11) Now we know she meant "be careful and don't step in the pies," but Epaminondas minded his mama.
He stepped right in the middle of each pie! When his mama got home and saw the mess, she just
laughed. "Oh, Epaminondas, you ain't got the brains you were born with … but I love you anyway!"
Then she gave him a big hug … and a slice of fresh bread.

Reading Comprehension Section
Read the passage and answer the questions that follow. YOU MAY USE A DICTIONARY.
Grunge Music and American Popular Culture
The late 1980s found the landscape of popular music in America dominated by a distinctive style of rock and roll known
as glam rock or hair metal—so called because of the over-styled hair, makeup, and wardrobe worn by the genre's
ostentatious rockers. Bands like Poison, Whitesnake, and Mötley Crüe popularized glam rock with their power ballads and
flashy style, but the product had worn thin by the early 1990s. Just as superficial as the 80s, glam rockers were shallow,
short on substance, and musically inferior.
In 1991, a Seattle-based band called Nirvana shocked the corporate music industry with the release of its debut single,
"Smells Like Teen Spirit," which quickly became a huge hit all over the world. Nirvana's distorted, guitar-laden sound and
thought-provoking lyrics were the antithesis of glam rock, and the youth of America were quick to pledge their allegiance
to the brand-new movement known as grunge.
Grunge actually got its start in the Pacific Northwest during the mid-1980s. Nirvana had simply mainstreamed a sound
and culture that got its start years before with bands like Mudhoney, Soundgarden, and Green River. Grunge rockers
derived their fashion sense from the youth culture of the Pacific Northwest: a melding of punk rock style and outdoors
clothing like flannels, heavy boots, worn out jeans, and corduroys. At the height of the movement's popularity, when other
Seattle bands like Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains were all the rage, the trappings of grunge were working their way to the
height of American fashion. Like the music, the teenagers were fast to embrace the grunge fashion because it represented
defiance against corporate America and shallow pop culture.
The popularity of grunge music was ephemeral; by the mid- to late-1990s, its influence upon American culture had all but
disappeared, and most of its recognizable bands were nowhere to be seen on the charts. The heavy sound and themes of
grunge were replaced on the radio waves by boy bands like the Backstreet Boys, and the bubble gum pop of Britney
Spears and Christina Aguilera.
There are many reasons why the Seattle sound faded out of the mainstream as quickly as it rocketed to prominence, but
the most glaring reason lies at the defiant, anti-establishment heart of the grunge movement itself. It is very hard to buck
the trend when you are the one setting it, and many of the grunge bands were never comfortable with the fame that was
thrust upon them. Ultimately, the simple fact that many grunge bands were so against mainstream rock stardom eventually
took the movement back to where it started: underground. The fickle American mainstream public, as quick as they were
to hop on to the grunge bandwagon, were just as quick to hop off and move on to something else.
1. The best word to describe grunge music is
a. flashy.
b. rebellious.
c. fickle.
d. antithetical.
2. Teenagers embraced grunge fashion because
a. they were tired of Glam Rock fashion.
b. it defied corporate America and the shallowness of pop culture.
c. grunge rockers told them to embrace it.
d. it outraged their parents.
3. By stating that "glam rockers were shallow, short on substance, and musically inferior," this author is
a. using a time-honored form of reporting that dignifies his or her position.
b. resorting to a subjective, emotional assertion that is not an effective way to build an argument.
c. making an objective, logical assertion based on facts.
d. merely quoting what others say about glam rock and detaching herself or himself from the opinion.
Schultea Review for Fall Exam
4. This writer is trying to document
a. the popularity of glam rock.
b. Nirvana's role in popularizing grunge music.
c. the rise and fall of grunge music.
d. the reasons young people responded so enthusiastically to grunge music.
5. According to this passage, what is the difference between glam rock and grunge?
a. Glam rock is flashier and superficial, while grunge is thought-provoking and anti-establishment.
b. Glam rock appeals to teenagers, while grunge appeals to adults.
c. Glam rock faded quickly, while grunge is still prominent.
d. Glam rock was more commercially successful than grunge.
6. The tone of the sentence, "The fickle American mainstream public, as quick as they were to hop on to the grunge
bandwagon, were just as quick to hop off and move on to something else" can be best described as
a. authoritative.
b. gloomy.
c. cynical.
d. ironic.
7. Which of the following bands is not associated with grunge?
a. Nirvana

c. Pearl Jam
d. Poison

The Flight of Icarus
Read the selection, and then answer the Point of View questions that follow.
(1) In ancient Greece lived Daedalus, a talented and clever builder. He created everything from palaces to
playthings for the wealthy. One of his rich clients was Minos, the King of Crete, an island in the
Mediterranean.
(2) Minos was thought to be the richest and most powerful ruler of his time. He hired Daedalus to design and
build a special, intricate maze, or labyrinth, to hold the Minotaur. It was a terrifying half-bull, half-human
creature with a great appetite for humans. Minos wanted the creature confined somewhere in the maze so
that it couldn't escape and be a threat to his people.
(3) Daedalus designed a masterful, mysterious maze, and his young son Icarus helped him create it. When the
maze was finished, Minos had his soldiers release the Minotaur into it. But Minos worried that someone
might find a way through the maze to release the creature. He had to make sure no one else ever knew the
secret of the maze. So, to guarantee that Daedalus or Icarus could never reveal the secret, Minos
imprisoned them in a very high tower.
(4) Daedalus looked around. The tower had no windows or doors from which to escape. Only the top of the
Schultea Review for Fall Exam
tower was open, spreading a ceiling of sky above them. Through it, day-after-day, an archer sent arrows
tied with packets of food and tiny wax candles to help them see at night. The walls were too high to climb.
There was no way out!
(5) But the brilliant Daedalus devised a plan. Over time he and Icarus ate very little and grew thinner and
lighter. At night, they used only the light from the moon and stars, and saved the tiny candles. Daedalus
and Icarus used the leftover food to attract some of the thousands of birds that migrated across the sky
above them. They plucked a single feather from each bird that landed, knowing that one feather was not
enough to stop them from flying.
(6) Daedalus explained to Icarus how the candle wax would hold the feathers on their arms like wings. They
waited for a perfect day, when strong winds blew from the south … strong enough to carry them north
toward Athens. At last, that day arrived. As they prepared to leave, Daedalus warned Icarus not to fly too
high. "The heat of the sun could melt the wax that holds your wing feathers in place," he warned.
(7) Then the wind lifted Daedalus and Icarus off the tower and they soared like birds high above the maze.
Icarus flew higher and higher, enjoying the thrill of flight so much that he forgot his father's advice. The
higher he flew, the thinner the air, and soon he could hardly breathe. He was hot and confused. Perhaps
the height affected his brain. The sun began to melt the wax that held the feathers on to his arms. Icarus
flapped his arms but to no avail. He tumbled like a wounded bird into the sea. Only a few scattered
feathers floated on the water. Daedalus mourned his son, then continued on to safety.

I explained to Icarus how the candle wax would hold the feathers on OUR arms like wings. WE waited for
