Directions: Read the passage below and answer the question(s) that follow.
Painter of Light
Thomas Kinkade is known for his gift of painting light. Splashes of light ranging in color from creamy white
to sunny yellow litter his paintings. No other artist has captured light in its many forms, hues, and patterns like the
inimitable Thomas Kinkade. Because of his talent, he is recognized as America's most collected artist.
In 1958, Thomas Kinkade was born in Sacramento, California. From 1976 to 1978, Kinkade attended the
University of California, receiving his formal training at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. The
summer after graduation, he embarked on a sketching tour with a college friend, James Gurney. In 1982, he
married his childhood sweetheart, Nanette, and co–authored The Artist's Guide to Sketching with Gurney. He and
Gurney went on to be employed by Ralph Bakshi Studios to create background art for the animated feature Fire
and Ice. From 1984 to 1989, Kinkade published many paintings, so that by 1994, he was a published artist in his
own right. That year, he earned the honorary title of Artist of the Year from the National Association of Limited
Edition Dealers (NALED). An era in landscape artistry had begun that would make a lasting impression in art
history. He went on to publish more art books and receive more recognition, collecting fans as rapidly as they
collected his works.
One of the unique qualities of Kinkade's work is that he hides messages to his wife and daughters in each
painting. For example, for his wife Nanette, he paints a hidden letter "N" in each piece. His four daughters' names,
as well as their faces, also appear in his works. Some people say that Kinkade is a passing craze of the twenty–
first century; however, it is clear that he has staying power in the art world. His works soothe the senses and
inspire the mind because he captures the essence of light, the force on which human life thrives.
Landscape Art
Landscape art is a form of escapism. That is, it allows the viewer to escape into another world of beautiful
scenery that is easy on the eyes and induces peace of mind. Thomas Kinkade is a good example of a landscape
artist whose work has this effect. His ability to paint light shows his profound understanding of what is lovely to the
human eye.
Modern Art Critics
Thomas Kinkade's influence on modern art will be minimal. His art is merely decorative and faddish and
will only be a flash in the pan of art history. The only reason he is so popular is that he captures on canvas the
scenes that relax and pacify us during a turbulent time in American history.

Directions: Read the passage below and answer the question(s) that follow.
An Important Role
Cecelia shared a small, three–bedroom house in South Los Angeles, with her parents, older brother, and
uncle. In order to keep the small house tidy and running like a well–oiled machine, each family member had an
important duty. Like a musical ensemble, each member of the family relied on the other to do their part. Since
Cecelia was the youngest and the smallest, she sometimes felt useless and unneeded; however, her mother
assured her repeatedly that no job was too unimportant or too little. "Everyone is needed." Because of this,
Cecelia made sure all of her chores were always done; she didn't want to let a family member down who was
relying on her.
Family was important to Cecelia, especially since the move to the United States from Germany. In some
respects it was a difficult transition, but it also showed Cecelia that she was an integral part of the family. Since
finances were tight, Cecelia's mother would often take odd jobs here and there, and Cecelia was put in charge of
evening dinners, cleaning, and laundry. Although it was often hard work, Cecelia felt needed and was glad to be
able to help.
On an afternoon in December, Cecelia's family huddled around the loyal old RCA radio to listen to the
Benny Goodman Orchestra: a weekly Sunday ritual. Instead of hearing the orchestra play "Stardust" or "The One
O'Clock Jump," the family unexpectedly heard the familiar voice of Edward R. Murrow. Mr. Murrow normally
reported on various news events at 7:00 p.m. during weekdays, so Cecelia wondered why, on a Sunday, it was his
voice she was hearing. In a deep and serious tone, he announced that Pearl Harbor had been attacked by
Japanese airplanes and that there were many casualties. Although Cecelia knew that this news could not be
good, she didn't really understand what it all meant. Where is Pearl Harbor? What did this have to do with her?
Why is Japan bombing the United States, and why is everyone in her family whispering around her? Cecelia
would not have to wait long to get answers to her questions.
During the next few days at school, Cecelia learned that Pearl Harbor was in Hawaii and that the United
States had officially entered the war. Once again, Cecelia didn't really see the relevance to her. It was as if she
was watching a movie at the nickelodeon down the street. Everything seemed to be moving in slow motion, and
she was just an observer in all of it—able to walk away at any time and return to normal life. The next evening at
dinner, Cecelia's uncle announced, "I'm enlisting."
Her brother chimed in, "Me too! We are going down to the war office tomorrow to fill out the paperwork."
Instantly, everything in Cecelia's mind went from slow motion to eighty miles per hour. Cecelia felt as if she was no
longer an observer of a movie; now she was in it.
That night Cecelia had a hard time falling asleep. She kept thinking about her home in Germany and how
she and her brother used to play "Polizei und Räuber" or "Cops and Robbers." Her brother would always play the
part of the policeman and run into the room to save the captive, Baldur, their 60–pound Rottweiler. Even back
then, her brother helped those in need.
It wasn't long before the once familiar domestic sounds grew absent from Cecelia's house. Cecelia's
brother and uncle left for training camp, her father was working long hours to make up for the missing income from
her uncle, and her mother filled a job at a nearby factory to help with the now vacant positions from the men that
went to war.
The whole country seemed to be consumed with war, including Cecelia's family. Edward Murrow's reports
came more and more often on the RCA, but Cecelia was the only one there to hear them. Everyone in Cecelia's
family was feverishly doing something to help their newly embraced country with the war, except for Cecelia.
Although she was forced to go to school during the day, in the afternoons the once teeming house was now
desolate and lonely. Cecelia grew despondent and longed for, once again, being a part of a musical ensemble.
Cecelia grew depressed and sullen. When her grades started to slip, Cecelia's teacher, Ms. Michaels, kept
her after class one day. "Is something bothering you Cecelia?" As is the case for most nine–year–olds, the first
thing out of Cecelia's mouth was "no."

Directions: Answer the following question(s) relating to the passage titled "An Important Role".
After she saw that Ms. Michaels was not going to let this matter go so easily, she said, "Well, everyone in
my family is doing something to help the country, but I can't 'cause I'm too little."
Ms. Michaels responded, "I think I have an idea that might be able to help you Cecelia."
Ms. Michaels handed Cecelia a brightly colored flier with large bold letters that said at the bottom "WAR
DEPARTMENT." Cecelia studied the flier carefully as she trudged home. "I don't understand what I am supposed
to do with this," she said to herself. Her eyes were drawn to the last line: "Help America's Boys by Conserving and
Donating Materials." She read it over and over again. She felt the old familiar spark of vigor inside of her. The
moment Cecelia got home she raced to her backyard and found the rusty old wagon behind the shed that was left
by the previous tenants.
Cecelia had a spring in her step as she and her wagon promenaded around the neighborhood. House after
house, Cecelia asked for materials that were listed on the flier: rubber, tin, rags, aluminum. To her relief, every
person who answered the door was happy to donate something. Upon the homeowners' direction, Cecelia gladly
rummaged through garages and backyards to find needed materials. On more than one occasion, she was called
a "model citizen" and an "exemplary role model for other young girls." Before Cecelia knew it, her wagon was full,
and Cecelia was filled with a rewarding sense of accomplishment. Although she should have been exhausted,
Cecelia felt invigorated as she proudly marched her overflowing wagon to the war office. She knew that she was
now an integral member of a new musical ensemble, and that her role was necessary and important.
