Read the excerpt from the play The King of Sharks:


Scene 4


Fishermen and other villagers are crowded around the pool outside the princess's house. The princess and her son stand in front of them.


Princess: It is time for my son to join his father in the ocean.


Prince: I'm very sorry for all the trouble I've caused.


Villagers: Back to the ocean with you!


Prince: I promise to never take more than my share of the fish again.


Prince hugs his mother goodbye and wraps the cloak around his shoulders. He jumps into the pool and swims down so deep that no one can see him. Far off, out in the ocean, a huge shark fin can be seen bobbing above the water. Soon, a smaller fin joins it.


Narrator: The shark prince joined his father in the ocean, and to this day, the sharks never take more than their share of the fish.


Read the excerpt from the story Hummingbird and Heron:


Many years ago, when the world was so young that the sun was still new in the sky, there lived two friends. Heron was large and slow, with a long, gangly neck and big, floppy wings. Hummingbird was tiny and swift, with wings that moved so quickly that they buzzed and a slender beak as sleek as a needle.


Heron and Hummingbird both loved to eat fish from the river. Every morning, Heron would fish to her heart's content, eating until her stomach was so round and heavy that she had to waddle back to shore. Every afternoon, Hummingbird would fish and feast until he was so heavy that his tiny, buzzing wings could no longer keep him in the air. Heron and Hummingbird thought they were the luckiest birds in the world.


One afternoon, Hummingbird did not catch as many fish as usual. He fished and he fished, but his line came up empty more times than it ever had before. He flew to Heron's house.


"Heron! Heron!" he called. "Why have you eaten all the fish?"


Heron bustled to her door, angry and surprised at her friend's accusation.


"Me? Eat all the fish?" she squawked. "I barely caught anything this morning! My poor stomach has been growling all day."


The two birds began to argue over who had eaten more fish. Finally, Hummingbird raised his wing to stop the debate.


"I do not think there are enough fish left in the river for both of us," he said. "Let's have a race. Whoever reaches the dead tree on the other side of the hills first owns all the fish. The loser has to find something else to eat."


In both mythical texts, a feeling of community is broken. What is similar about the experiences of the villagers with the shark prince and Hummingbird with Heron?


a Both groups decide to find another more plentiful food source to share together.

b Both groups experience a broken community because of greed and selfishness.

c Both groups have races to see who will be allowed to keep all of the fish in the river.

d
Both groups reconcile because they believe that love is more important than fish.

Read the stanzas below from the poem “Ballad of Birmingham” by Dudley Randall and answer the question that follows.



“Mother dear, may I go downtown
Instead of out to play,
And march the streets of Birmingham
In a Freedom March today?”

“No, baby, no, you may not go,
For the dogs are fierce and wild,
And clubs and hoses, guns and jails
Aren’t good for a little child.”

“But, mother, I won’t be alone.
Other children will go with me,
And march the streets of Birmingham
To make our country free.”

“No, baby, no, you may not go,
For I fear those guns will fire.
But you may go to church instead
And sing in the children’s choir.”



What is ironic about the mother’s wishes?

The protest will be deadly, while the church will be safe.
The daughter doesn’t listen to her mother and goes to the protest.
The daughter has already been to church that morning.
The church will prove just as dangerous as the protest.
