Read the excerpt from Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby.

But I didn’t call to him, for he gave a sudden intimation that he was content to be alone—he stretched out his arms toward the dark water in a curious way, and, far as I was from him, I could have sworn he was trembling. Involuntarily I glanced seaward—and distinguished nothing except a single green light, minute and far away, that might have been the end of a dock. When I looked once more for Gatsby he had vanished, and I was alone again in the unquiet darkness.

Gatsby’s reaching from the darkness toward the light, creates
fear and loathing.
sadness and loss.
sympathy and insight.
mystery and interest.

Marshmallows
by Charles Onslow

S’mores would be nothing without a marshmallow. It keeps the graham crackers and the piece of chocolate together when it is toasted. A cup of cocoa would seem empty without marshmallows. So where does this gooey treat come from? Marshmallows were first used by the ancient Egyptians. They used the root of the marsh mallow plant to make honey candy. This candy was reserved for royalty and gods. The marsh mallow plant in the past was also used to soothe sore throats.
The marshmallow treat that is now found today is a little bit different. In the past, people used marsh mallow sap, sugar, and egg whites. Now, it is made of sugar or corn syrup, gelatin, cornstarch, and water. The addition of cornstarch helps speed up the process of making marshmallows. Although marshmallows have changed, they are still a delight to eat.
