BRING HEADPHONES FOR TUESDAY. 

1. Your 12 questions on "Intriguing Images" are due today.

2. Read the following passage from page 14:
"The ambulance crew loaded my father onto the gurney and raced back out. By this point dozens of
people lined the street. They watched as he was placed in the back of the ambulance.The doors slammed shut behind him. The loud sirens and flashing lights broke the silence of the neighborhood. Mommy quickly loaded us into the car and followed the ambulance to the hospital. The car was full of sound—Shani crying and Nikki making goo-goo noises to try to calm her down, and the roar of the ambulance in front of us—but it felt as silent as a tomb. No talking. No questions. Just the white noise of the ambulance, one sister crying, and the other struggling to comfort her without words."
