Hayes Davis is a writer whose first book of poetry, Let Our Eyes Linger, explores themes of family. In the following poem, a speaker learns how to drive with his dad. As you read, take notes on how the father interacts with his son as he drives. Route 1 North, Philadelphia to Highland Park By Hayes Davis 2016 [1] Your father has given you the wheel. The mostly-empty highway offers your 17-year-old eyes no distractions, and the Firebird descending the on-ramp is red [5] The left turn signal isn’t instinctive yet. Nor is the glance that checks your blind spot before the lane change. But as you settle back into the forward focus of highway driving your father’s hand covers your gearshift perched [10] right, his mouth curling before opening, “Good job.” He doesn’t remind you that sharing the road with newcomers is less instinctual for you than your blind-spot check. He is all praise, and when the therapist asks, ten years later, [15] what you miss — how you imagined him feeling when you pictured handing over the grandchild he will never know — you remember that he never held praise too tightly, that he knew confidence as a vested commodity, [20] its installation as vital as anything fathers give sons. PART B: Which detail from the text best supports the answer to Part A? A) The mostly-empty highway offers / your 17-year-old eyes no distractions (Lines 2-3) B) He doesnt remind you that sharing the road / with newcomers is less instinctual for you (Lines 11-12) C) and when the therapist asks, ten years later, / what you miss (Lines 14-15) D) he never held praise too tightly, that he / knew confidence as a vested commodity / its installation as vital as anything fathers give sons. (Lines 18-20)

An expository essay instructs, provides information, or explains. in this essay, you are presenting information and explaining why you think the ideas and work of the individual you chose had an effect on european thought. but before you begin writing the essay, you need to organize the information you’ve gathered by creating an outline. directions: your taking notes sheet should have you identify and organize the information you found while doing your research. now it is time to create an outline to organize the information in the way you will present it in your essay. you may decide not to use all the information you gathered, but be sure you do not leave out anything that you believe is important to support your thesis. your essay should include an introductory paragraph, supporting paragraphs, and a concluding paragraph. each paragraph should cover one main topic and should correspond to a roman numeral (i., ii., iii.) on the outline. the main topics should cover: the person’s accomplishment and contributions, and the effect of his or her accomplishments or contributions on european thought. write a topic sentence for each paragraph of your essay. be sure it tells the reader what the section will be about and how the information relates to your thesis statement. your topic sentence for the introductory paragraph might say something like “johannes gutenberg’s invention changed the way people communicated.” a topic sentence for the second paragraph—the first main topic—might be something like "gutenberg’s printing press changed the way books were produced and the way knowledge was communicated.” decide which pieces of information you will use to support your topic sentences. (these ideas or groups of facts are called subtopics.) subtopics follow capital letters and periods (a., b., and c.) on your outline. add this information beneath your topic sentence. you can further divide subtopics into specific facts. in an outline, specific facts follow arabic numerals and periods (1. 2. 3. 4.) end your outline and essay with a concluding paragraph. write a concluding paragraph that summarizes the main ideas of your essay and restates your thesis statement in some way. write no more than four or five sentences. worth 241 points
