Background Eboo Patel believes that religion should bring people together.
Inspired by both his Muslim faith and his Indian heritage, he founded the
Interfaith Youth Core with a Jewish friend in Chicago in 2002 and later served on
President Obama’s Advisory Council on Faith-based and Neighborhood
Partnerships. This essay is from his Washington Post blog The Faith Divide. This
entry was adapted from his Freshman Convocation Address at George
Washington University on the tenth anniversary of 9/11.

thought about George Washington when I was at the airport this
weekend, watching women in Islamic headscarves brave the stares and
scowls of some of their fellow Americans on an anniversary no one will
ever forget.
I wonder if a similar feeling prompted Moses Sessius, the leader of the
Hebrew Congregation of Newport, Rhode Island to write George
Washington a letter shortly after he assumed the Presidency. It was a letter
essentially asking whether Sessius and his people—Jews—would be safe in
this new nation, or if they would be hounded and hated, blamed for crimes
they did not commit.
In his response, Washington put on paper words that I think still define
the essence of our nation:
“The Government of the United States . . . gives to bigotry no sanction, to
persecution no assistance, requires only that they who live under its
protection should demean themselves as good citizens.”

As thousands of gulls soared over the island, Icarus soon
collected a huge pile of feathers. Daedalus then melted some
wax and made a skeleton in the shape of a bird’s wing. The
smallest feathers he pressed into the soft wax and the large
ones he tied on with thread. Icarus played about on the beach
happily while his father worked, chasing the feathers that blew
away in the strong wind that swept the island and sometimes
taking bits of the wax and working it into strange shapes with
his fingers.
It was fun making the wings. The sun shone on the bright
feathers; the breezes ruffled them. When they were finished,
Daedalus fastened them to his shoulders and found himself
lifted upwards, where he hung poised in the air. Filled with
excitement, he made another pair for his son. They were
smaller than his own, but strong and beautiful.
Finally, one clear, wind-swept morning, the wings were
finished, and Daedalus fastened them to Icarus’s shoulders
and taught him how to fly. He bade him watch the movements
of the birds, how they soared and glided overhead. He pointed
out the slow, graceful sweep of their wings as they beat the
air steadily, without fluttering. Soon Icarus was sure that he,
too, could fly and, raising his arms up and down, skirted
over the white sand and even out over the waves, letting his
feet touch the snowy foam as the water thundered and broke
over the sharp rocks. Daedalus watched him proudly but
with misgivings. He called Icarus to his side and, putting his
arm round the boy’s shoulders, said, “Icarus, my son, we are
about to make our flight. No human being has ever traveled
through the air before, and I want you to listen carefully to my
instructions. Keep at a moderate height, for if you fly too low,
the fog and spray will clog your wings, and if you fly too high,
the heat will melt the wax that holds them together. Keep near
me and you will be safe.”
He kissed Icarus and fastened the wings more securely
to his son’s shoulders. Icarus, standing in the bright sun, the
shining wings dropping gracefully from his shoulders, his
golden hair wet with spray, and his eyes bright and dark with
excitement, looked like a lovely bird. Daedalus’s eyes filled
with tears, and turning away, he soared into the sky, calling to
Icarus to follow. From time to time, he looked back to see that
the boy was safe and to note how he managed his wings in his
flight. As they flew across the land to test their prowess before
80
setting out across the dark wild sea, plowmen below stopped
their work and shepherds gazed in wonder, thinking Daedalus
and Icarus were gods.
Father and son flew over Samos and Delos, which lay on
their left, and Lebinthus,1 which lay on their right. Icarus,
beating his wings in joy, felt the thrill of the cool wind on his
face and the clear air above and below him. He flew higher
and higher up into the blue sky until he reached the clouds.
His father saw him and called out in alarm. He tried to follow
him, but he was heavier and his wings would not carry him.
Up and up Icarus soared, through the soft, moist clouds and
out again toward the glorious sun. He was bewitched by a
sense of freedom and beat his wings frantically so that they
would carry him higher and higher to heaven itself. The
blazing sun beat down on the wings and softened the wax.
Small feathers fell from the wings and floated softly down,
warning Icarus to stay his flight and glide to earth. But the
enchanted boy did not notice them until the sun became so
hot that the largest feathers dropped off and he began to sink.
Frantically he fluttered his arms, but no feathers remained

Background The Hmong (hmông) are an ethnic group from
southern China, Laos, Vietnam, and Thailand. In the 1970s, war
and conflict caused many of the Hmong people in Laos to flee to
refugee camps in Thailand. Author Kao Kalia Yang (b. 1980 ) was
born in one of these camps. She moved with her family, including
her older sister Dawb, to Minnesota in 1987. Four other siblings
were born in the United States, where all the Yang children
received their educations.

nearly fifteen, and Dawb had just gotten her driver’s
license. The children were growing up. We needed a new
home—the apartment was too small. There was hardly room
to breathe when the scent of jasmine rice and fish steamed
with ginger mingled heavily with the scent of freshly baked
pepperoni pizza—Dawb’s favorite food. We had been looking
for a new house for nearly six months.
It was in a poor neighborhood with houses that were
ready to collapse—wooden planks falling off, colors chipping
away, sloping porches—and huge, old trees. There was a
realty sign in the front yard, a small patch of green in front
of the white house. It was one story, with a small open patio
and a single wide window framed by black panels beside a
black door. There was a short driveway that climbed up a

Delineate and Evaluate an Argument
Background Futurists study the future and make predictions about
it by analyzing current trends. Ray Kurzweil (b. 1948) is a well-known
futurist, as well as an inventor, a writer, and an expert on artificial
intelligence. In the 1970s, he developed the first machine that translated
text into speech, and he has been a pioneer in the field of speech
recognition technology. In “The Coming Merging of Mind and Machine,”
Kurzweil makes some astonishing predictions about the future of
artificial intelligence.

of Mind and Machine
Argument by Ray Kurzweil

To support a claim, authors develop and refine their ideas throughout the text. An
author may use a particular sentence to develop a claim, or use an entire paragraph
or larger section of the text to develop a claim with reasons and evidence.
S
ometime early in this century the intelligence of machines will
exceed that of humans. Within a quarter of a century, machines
will exhibit the full range of human intellect, emotions and skills,
ranging from musical and other creative aptitudes to physical
movement. They will claim to have feelings and, unlike today’s virtual
personalities, will be very convincing when they tell us so. By around
2020 a $1,000 computer will at least match the processing power of
the human brain. By 2029 the software for intelligence will have been
largely mastered, and the average personal computer will be equivalent
to 1,000 brains.
Once computers achieve a level of intelligence comparable to that
of humans, they will necessarily soar past it. For example, if I learn
French, I can’t readily download that learning to you. The reason
is that for us, learning involves successions of stunningly complex
patterns of interconnections among brain cells (neurons) and among
the concentrations of biochemicals known as neurotransmitters that
enable impulses to travel from neuron to neuron. We have no way of

In “A Quilt of a Country,” Anna Quindlen presents an argument about how America
works as a country. An argument presents a claim, or position, on an issue and
supports it with reasons and evidence. To evaluate the strength of Quindlen’s
argument, you must delineate, or describe in detail, these elements:
• Identify the claim, or Quindlen’s position, on the issue.
• Look for the reasons Quindlen uses to support her claim. Reasons should be
valid and logical.
• Evaluate whether the evidence Quindlen cites for each reason is credible,
or believable, and relevant to the claim. Evidence can include facts, statistics,
examples, anecdotes, or quotations.
• Look for counterarguments, which are statements that address opposing
viewpoints. Does Quindlen anticipate opposing viewpoints and provide
counterarguments to disprove them?

A strong, well-constructed argument can convince readers to
change their minds about an issue or to understand and accept
an opposing view. In this activity, you will write an argument that
justifies your views about whether it is important for teenagers
to gain work experience during their school years. You will use
evidence from the texts in the collection to support your position.
A successful argument
• contains an engaging introduction that clearly establishes the
claim being made
• supports the claim with clear reasons and relevant evidence
from a variety of credible sources
• establishes and maintains a formal style
• uses language that effectively conveys ideas and adds interest
• includes a conclusion that follows from the argument
presented and leaves a lasting impression
