(PASSAGE):
Beginner's Class
"Hey, Pasha," called Séamus as he crossed the parking lot. "What are you doing this afternoon? I was thinking about catching a movie, if you're interested."
"Thanks, but I've got big plans today," Pasha replied with a huge smile. "Today is the day."
"Huh? Today is what day?" asked Séamus with a confused look.
"THE day, silly," answered Pasha. "I finally saved enough money to enroll in the beginner's class at the Motorcycle Safety Association. I'm headed there now, as a matter of fact." Séamus stared at his friend in disbelief.
"Wait a minute," he said as he stopped in his tracks. "You actually enrolled in the motorcycle riding class? I never thought you'd do it. I thought it was just another project you act excited about and then drop in two weeks."
"Don't be silly," replied Pasha. "This isn't like the time I wanted to volunteer as a clown for the children's center or start my own dog walking business. I'm serious about learning to ride motorcycles. Once I get my first bike, I'll travel all over the world just like my hero, Lois Pryce."
"Isn't she the woman who rode her motorcycle from Alaska to South America?" Séamus asked as they continued walking toward the dark grey MSA building.
"Yes, that's her," said Pasha. "I got to meet her last year when she gave a speech at the History of the Americas museum. She talked about following your dreams, and that's exactly what I intend to do."
A loud roaring sound filled the air as Pasha and Séamus entered the Motorcycle Safety Association. They stood in the lobby and looked out at an indoor gym filled with people of all ages on motorcycles. Pasha felt a brief rush of insecurity as she watched the riders maneuver their way through an obstacle course of traffic cones and speed bumps.
"This looks intense!" Séamus remarked. "Do you think they'll let me stay and watch?" Pasha was about to answer when a tall woman dressed in a MSA t-shirt tapped her on the shoulder.
"You must be our newest student," the woman said as she handed Pasha a motorcycle helmet. "I'm Dervla, your instructor. I'll take you to your practice bike." Séamus moved to follow Pasha into the gym, but Dervla smiled and shook her head.
"Sorry, registered students only," she told him. "There are brochures by the door, and our next class starts in three weeks." Séamus waved to Pasha and wished her good luck before heading eagerly to the door. Behind him, Pasha, wearing an excited grin, fastened the strap on her motorcycle helmet and prepared to take her first ride.

(1) I don't know whether you have ever seen a map of a person's mind. (2)Doctors sometimes draw maps of other parts of you, and your own map can become intensely interesting, but catch them trying to draw a map of a child's mind, which is not only confused, but keeps going round all the time. (3) There are zigzag lines on it, just like your temperature on a card, and these are probably roads in the island, for the Neverland is always more or less an island, with astonishing splashes of color here and there, and coral reefs and rakish-looking craft in the offing, and savages and lonely lairs, and gnomes who are mostly tailors, and caves through which a river runs, and princes with six elder brothers, and a hut fast going to decay, and one very small old lady with a hooked nose. (4) It would be an easy map if that were all, but there is also first day at school, religion, fathers, the round pond, needle-work, murders, hangings, verbs that take the dative, chocolate pudding day, getting into braces, say ninety-nine, three-pence for pulling out your tooth yourself, and so on, and either these are part of the island or they are another map showing through, and it is all rather confusing, especially as nothing will stand still.

(5) Of course the Neverlands vary a good deal. John's, for instance, had a lagoon with flamingoes flying over it at which John was shooting, while Michael, who was very small, had a flamingo with lagoons flying over it. (6) John lived in a boat turned upside down on the sands, Michael in a wigwam, Wendy in a house of leaves deftly sewn together. (7) John had no friends, Michael had friends at night, Wendy had a pet wolf forsaken by its parents, but on the whole the Neverlands have a family resemblance, and if they stood still in a row you could say of them that they have each other's nose, and so forth. (8) On these magic shores children at play are for ever beaching their coracles [simple boat]. (9) We too have been there; we can still hear the sound of the surf, though we shall land no more.

(10) Of all delectable islands the Neverland is the snuggest and most compact, not large and sprawly, you know, with tedious distances between one adventure and another, but nicely crammed. (11) When you play at it by day with the chairs and table-cloth, it is not in the least alarming, but in the two minutes before you go to sleep it becomes very real. (12)That is why there are night-lights.

Read this paragraph from The Dark Game.

Another thing that changed very little in the years between the wars was the means of obtaining military intelligence. Although the use of photography and the telegraph brought some technological advances, the craft of spying on the enemy's army still relied on fieldwork.

And, of course, both armies relied on cavalry scouts, signal intercepts, visual observation, and captured correspondence.

Standing on the snow-covered plain, as if in a pasture amid the hills, I cut my way first through a foot of snow, and then a foot of ice, and open a window under my feet, where, kneeling to drink, I look down into the quiet parlor of the fishes, pervaded by a softened light as through a window of ground glass, with its bright sanded floor the same as in summer; there a perennial waveless serenity reigns as in the amber twilight sky, corresponding to the cool and even temperament of the inhabitants.

Read the excerpt from The Odyssey.

Now Zeus the lord of cloud roused in the north
a storm against the ships, and driving veils
of squall moved down like night on land and sea.
The bows went plunging at the gust; sails
cracked and lashed out strips in the big wind.
We saw death in that fury, dropped the yards,
unshipped the oars, and pulled for the nearest lee:
then two long days and nights we lay offshore
worn out and sick at heart, tasting our grief,
until a third Dawn came with ringlets shining.
Then we put up our masts, hauled sail, and rested,
letting the steersmen and the breeze take over.
