1. Queen Latifah got her start as a female rapper who consciously tried to combat the widespread sexism in the lyrics of Gangsta Rap. Her 1989 album “ All Hail the Queen”, features lyrics written from a woman’s point of view, and her sons celebrate powerful women, who don’t need guns to be strong. But the Queen of Royal Badness, as Latifah is sometimes called, is a multi-talented personality. In her hit situation comedy “Living Singly”, Latifah revealed that, in addition to a revieting presence, she also had superb comic timing. From a bit part as a sassy waitress in Spike Lee’s Jungle Fever, Latifah went on to starring roles in movies like “Set It Off” and “Living Out Loud”. Although neither movie was widely successful at the box office, the Queen got superb reviews, as well she deserved. When Queen Latifah is on the screen, you can’t watch anyone else; she’s just that good.Purpose: _-.Tone: .

The snowy owl is normally found in the coldest regions of North America. Every three or four years, however, snowy owls appear in large numbers in towns all across the United States. Animal behaviorists believe the periodic owl migrations are due to changes in the owls’ food supply. Snowy owls feed heavily on lemmings migrate every three to four years in search of food. When the lemmings leave the cold northern regions, so do the owls. Unfortunately snowy owls are becoming increasingly rare, in part because hunters often shoot them when they show up in large numbers.Purpose: _____Tone: _.a. Emotionally neutralb. Enthusiasticc. Ironic
