Section A: Listen, transcribe and summarize Hello friends. I am Suzanne Collins the author of The Hunger Games. I am going to read you from chapter eleven, where the games begin.

Step off before the minute is up, and land mines blow your legs off. Sixty seconds to take in the ring of tributes all equidistant from the cornucopia, a giant golden horn shaped like a…

As future gerontologist, chapters ten and eleven cover a large portion of what we will be dealing with on a day-to-day basis concerning the elderly.

Late or Early”, as well as “Eleven”. Both short-stories focus on adolescents with a mature mindset and adult precision, and each story does a marvelous job portraying Cisneros constant writing style. “Salvador Late or Early” is focusing on a young boy, Salvador, with heavy burdens to carry on his shoulders, which is unfortunate because he is such a young boy with an old soul. The responsibilities he has are unimaginable due to the fact they don’t pertain to his age. “Eleven” is a similar story,…
