9 LESSON 19 Analyzing Literary Elements in Modern FicTION PAGE Part A Choice B is the correct answer because both Rips chose relaxation over work, and their lives changed dramatically. Choice A is incorrect because although Rip in passage 2 was extremely proud of his accomplishments, Rip in passage 1 is not. Choice C is incorrect because both passages explain that there have been many years between when Rip went to sleep and when Rip went on his trip. Choice D is incorrect because although Rip in passage 2 was successful because of his hard work, that theme is not expressed in passage 1. Part B Choice A is the correct answer because Rip Van Winkle wants to avoid work. This supports the theme that laziness can be life altering. Choice B is incorrect because the theme is about laziness not change. Choice C is incorrect because this sentence does explain what happened to Rip Van Winkle, but it does not support the theme. Choice D is incorrect because this choice is an example of the changes that happened when Rip Van Winkle was away, but it does not support the theme. 3 Answers should note that the author of passage 2 draws upon the same characters and actions as in passage 1. The main character named Rip wants to relax. He leaves his home and is away for 20 years. When he returns home many years later the place has changed. 4 Answers should note that the story is a science fiction story with similar characters, events, and themes as passage 1. Passage 2 shows that human emotions are timeless despite the time and setting. In both stories, the characters want to relax. They leave and end up being away for many years. Also, both stories have characters coming home to a place that has changed drastically. DOK 2 DOK 2 DOK 3 DOK 3 The author of passage 2 creates a science fiction story with similar character types, events, and themes as passage 1. Rip in passage 2 leaves a planet rather than going to sleep in a village. He comes back after many years to find, to his great disappointment, that many things have changed. The reader learns that such feelings are not confined to the past or to contexts they might not relate to. 134 UNIT 5 The Continental Press, Inc. DUPLICATING THIS MATERIAL IS ILLEGAL.
