Question: Chapter XXIII 

Paul Cannot Find the Rock People 

Life was very pleasant in Avonlea that summer, although Anne, amid all her vacation joys, was haunted by a sense of "something gone which should be there." She would not admit, even in her inmost reflections, that this was caused by Gilbert's absence. But when she had to walk home alone from prayer meetings and A.V.I.S. pow-wows, while Diana and Fred, and many other gay couples, loitered along the dusky, starlit country roads, there was a queer, lonely ache in her heart which she could not explain away. Gilbert did not even write to her, as she thought he might have done. She knew he wrote to Diana occasionally, but she would not inquire about him; and Diana, supposing that Anne heard from him, volunteered no information. Gilbert's mother, who was a gay, frank, light-hearted lady, but not overburdened with tact, had a very embarrassing habit of asking Anne, always in a painfully distinct voice and always in the presence of a crowd, if she had heard from Gilbert lately. Poor Anne could only blush horribly and murmur, "not very lately," which was taken by all, Mrs. Blythe included, to be merely a maidenly evasion. 

Apart from this, Anne enjoyed her summer. Priscilla came for a merry visit in June; and, when she had gone, Mr. and Mrs. Irving, Paul and Charlotta the Fourth came "home" for July and August. 

Echo Lodge was the scene of gaieties once more, and the echoes over the river were kept busy mimicking the laughter that rang in the old garden behind the spruces.  1. Who was on vacation?
2. And who was one her mind?
3. What would he send Diana and not Anne?
4. During what season was the vacation?

Question: (CNN) -- We've all done things in our past we might prefer the general public not talk about, but only the lucky few get to be the targets of whole industries dedicated to digging those things up. 

Targets like celebrities. 

Politicians. 

And apparently CEOs, that is if the abrupt resignation of Mozilla's new chief Brendan Eich is any indication. 

For many, the story of Eich -- who stepped down this week amid criticism of his contribution to a 2008 initiative to ban same-sex marriage-- is one of freedom of speech trampled by the intolerant. 

I don't see it that way. 

Don't get me wrong; to paraphrase Voltaire, I disagree with Eich's views on marriage equality but will defend to the death his First Amendment right to express them. But as I've written in the past, the First Amendment doesn't protect him, Mozilla, or anyone else from others' using their First Amendment right to signal their disapproval. 

To me, Eich's case is about the power of information, and how -- with technology, 24-hour news and social media- -everyone's past is just a hashtag away from being the present. 

Sometimes this is a good thing for the public, like the digging up of David Duke's KKK past as he attempted to climb the political ladder. Sometimes the information is significant, but used mainly to score points against a political opponent, as in the GOP's escalation of the Bill Clinton-Monica Lewinsky saga. But more often than not it's about gossip to sell magazines or get clicks on a website.  1. Who was a CEO?
2. Of what company?
3. Was he fired?
4. How did he leave?
5. What did he contribute to?
6. Wanting to do what?
7. Did the author agree with his thoughts on this matter?
8. But what did the author think he should be able to do?
9. Which is protected by what?
10. Does that also protect people who don't agree with him?
11. Who was a part of the KKK?
12. What was he trying to do?
13. Who else has been exposed?
14. Who increased the attention on that?
15. How can people share things that happened in the past? Provide a numbered list of answers.

Question: CHAPTER VI 

PHIL SHOWS HIS STUBBORNNESS 

Not one of the boys knew how to act or what to say. All wondered if Job Haskers had heard his name mentioned. 

If the ill-natured instructor had heard, he made no mention of it. He looked sharply about the apartment and waved his hand to Luke. 

"Watson, how many times have I told you that you make too much noise with your musical instruments?" he said, harshly. "You disturb the students who wish to study." 

"I thought this was the recreation hour, Mr. Haskers," answered the lad, who loved to play the guitar and banjo. 

"True, but I think we get altogether too much of your music," growled the instructor. He turned to Dave, Roger, and Phil. "So you are back at last. It is high time, if you wish to go on with your regular classes." 

"We told Doctor Clay that we would make up what we have missed, Mr. Haskers," answered Dave, in a gentle tone, for he knew how easy it was to start a quarrel with the man before him. As Phil had once said, Job Haskers was always walking around "with a chip on his shoulder." 

"And how soon will you make up the lessons in my class?" demanded the instructor. 

"I think I can do it inside of ten days or two weeks." 

"That won't suit me, Porter. You'll have to do better. I'll give each of you just a week--one week, understand? If you can't make the lessons up in that time I'll have to drop you to the next lower class."  1. Who is the doctor in the story?
2. Who did Mr. Haskers think would be disturbed?
3. How would they be disturbed?
4. What made the noise?
5. Why were they playing their instruments?
6. Who was complaining about the noise?
7. What does he do?
8. Is he easy to get along with?
9. What did he ask of his students for his class?
10. How soon could they make them up?
11. If they didn't what would happen?
12. Who were the students?
13. What instruments did they play?
14. Who was Luke?
15. What was his last name? Provide a numbered list of answers.
