Today the maid turned in our family. She told the Sergeant that we were Royalists, so he arrested us. Now we are in court and I’m being asked questions about where my father is. I tell him I don’t know where he is, and I really don’t know. The man asking me questions is doing it in a calm way. I don’t feel scared. I don’t think he believes me because he keeps asking. My sister is scared and crying. She’s afraid that she might be quizzed and she might not know where our father is either. My whole family is afraid that my father is going to be killed by the Parliamentarians. A Cavalry Officer is waiting to find information about my father. Maybe he wants to find my father and kill him. My mother sees the evidence the Parliamentarians have against our family and thinks that the maid gave it to them. I’m worried about the Puritan man because I know he wants a severe punishment for our family for being Royalists. They want to know where the father is. This man isn’t mean. The man is bending over to talk to the boy.The other people shouldn’t be there. The sergeant is got his arm around the girl to be protective.

With 30 seconds left on the clock, Nichole sprinted toward center court. As she set her sites on the hoop from the corner of her eye, she sensed the presence of a defender. With seemingly super human cat-like reflexes she launched her self skyward as if possessed by the the spirit of Michael Jordan. Only the pain of the rim striking her palm was enough to awaken her from her dream.

Paraphrase: Nichole ran to the center of the court with 30 seconds remaining. As she is getting ready to go to the basket, she sees a defender. She quickly jumped toward the basket like Michael Jordan. She hurt her hand when she hit the rim dunking. The pain woke her up.

Summarize: Nichole is sleeping and dreaming about playing basketball. When she hits her hand off the rim, the pain wakes her up.

Lewiston, Auburn libraries to launch e-book lending People with computers, or people who are unable to go out, or people without transportation will no longer need to go to the library to get books to read. If you live in Lewiston or Auburn you will be able to use the new on-line service that you can get from home that provides everyone with the convenience with reading a book without going to the library without going and picking it up. This service will be free. By using your library card you would be able to check out the titles of 1,800 books and all in different categories. The software can be downloaded for free, too. Suzanne Sullivan, who is the assistant director of the Auburn Public Library, says that not all readers that people have will be able to use the them yet. The library has the Barnes & Nobel Nook and the Sony Reader but hope to add others soon. The convenience of having this service is that there are no overdue books because when the books are due they will disappear from your computer. Sullivan said she likes reading books off the computer because they can adjust the size and type of the font, and the brightness of the screen which will help people who have a hard time seeing. She will also be holding free workshops at the Auburn Library on e-books and e-readers.

Award-winning lunches a hit with students Students from Turner, Leeds and Greene elementary schools are now eating healthy hot lunches. The food service director, Dave Roberts, began changing the ingredients two years ago, cutting out fatty meats and adding fresh fruits and vegetables. Some of the same foods are still offered but new foods are available for the students to try. Everyone is surprised and happy that the students like the new, healthier foods.
