Official SAT® Practice Test 2009-10Taking the Practice TestThe practice test will help you most if you take it under conditions as close as possible to those of the actual test. •

Timing • You will have 3 hours and 45 minutes to work on this test. • There are ten separately timed sections:
One 25-minute essay
Six other 25-minute sections
Two 20-minute sections
One 10-minute section • You may work on only one section at a time. • The supervisor will tell you when to begin and end each section. • If you fi nish a section before time is called, check your work on that section. You may NOT turn to any other section. • Work as rapidly as you can without losing accuracy. Don’t waste time on questions that seem too diffi cult for you. Marking Answers • Carefully mark only one answer for each question. • Make sure each mark is dark and completely fi lls the circle. • Do not make any stray marks on your answer sheet. • If you erase, do so completely. Incomplete erasures may be scored as intended answers. • Use only the answer spaces that correspond to the question numbers. • You may use the test book for scratchwork, but you will not receive credit for anything written there. • After time has been called, you may not transfer answers to your answer sheet or fi ll in circles. • You may not fold or remove pages or portions of a page from this book, or take the book or answer sheet from the testing room. Scoring • For each correct answer, you receive one point. • For questions you omit, you receive no points. • For a wrong answer to a multiple-choice question, you lose one-fourth of a point.
If you can eliminate one or more of the answer choices as wrong, you increase your chances of choosing the correct answer and earning one point.
If you can’t eliminate any choice, move on. You can return to the question later if there is time. • For a wrong answer to a student-produced response (“grid-in”) math question, you don’t lose any points. • The essay is scored on a 1 to 6 scale by two different readers. The total essay score is the sum of the two readers’ scores. • Off-topic essays, blank essays, and essays written in ink will receive a score of zero. The passages for this test have been adapted from published material. The ideas contained in them do not necessarily represent the opinions of the College Board or ETS.

-3- ESSAY Time — 25 minutes Turn to page 2 of your answer sheet to write your ESSAY. The essay gives you an opportunity to show how effectively you can develop and express ideas. You should, therefore, take care to develop your point of view, present your ideas logically and clearly, and use language precisely. Your essay must be written on the lines provided on your an swer sheet — you will receive no other paper on which to write. You will have enough space if you write on every line, avoid wide margins, and keep your handwriting to a reasonable size. Remember that people who are not familiar with your handwriting will read what you write. Try to write or print so that what you are writing is legible to those readers. Important Reminders: • A pencil is required for the essay. An essay written in ink will receive a score of zero. • Do not write your essay in your test book. You will receive credit only for what you write on your answer sheet. • An off-topic essay will receive a score of zero. • If your essay does not reflect your original and i ndividual work, your test scores may be canceled. You have twenty-five minutes to write an essay on the topic assigned below. Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below. A colleague of the great scientist James Watson remarked that Watson was always “lounging around, arguing about problems instead of doing experiments.” He concluded that “There is more than one way of doing good science.” It was Watson’s form of idleness, the scientist went on to say, that allowed him to solve “the greatest of all biological problems: the discovery of the structure of DNA.” It is a point worth remembering in a society overly concerned with efficiency. Adapted from John C. Polanyi, “Understanding Discovery” Assignment: Do people accomplish more when they are allowed to do things in their own way? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations. BEGIN WRITING YOUR ESSAY ON PAGE 2 OF THE ANSWER SHEET. If you finish before time is called, you may check your work on this section only. Do not turn to any other section in the test.

The passages below are followed by questions based on their conten t; questions following a pair of related passages may also be based on the relationship between the paired passages. Answer the questions on the basis of what is stated or implied in the passages and in any introductory material that may be provided. Questions 9-12 are based on the following passages. Passage 1 Food has always been considered one of the most salient markers of cultural traditions. When I was a small child, food was the only thing that helped identify my family as Filipino American. We ate pansit lug-lug (a noodle dish) and my father put patis (salty fish sauce) on everything. 5 However, even this connection lessened as I grew older. As my parents became more acculturated, we ate less typically Filipino food. When I was twelve, my mother took cooking classes and learned to make French and Italian dishes. When I was in high school, we ate chicken 10 marsala and shrimp fra diablo more often than Filipino dishes like pansit lug-lug . Passage 2 Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin — who in 1825 confi- dently announced, “Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you who you are” — would have no trouble describing 15 cultural identities of the United States. Our food reveals us as tolerant adventurers who do not feel constrained by tradition. We “play with our food” far more readily than we preserve the culinary rules of our varied ancestors. Americans have no single national cuisine. What unites 20 American eaters cultu rally is how we eat, not what we eat. As eaters, Americans mi ngle the culinary traditions of many regions and cultures. We are multiethnic eaters . 9. Which of the following statements best captures the relationship between the two passages? (A) Passage 1 notes problems for which Passage 2 proposes solutions. (B) Passage 1 presents claims that are debunked by Passage 2. (C) Passage 2 furnishes a larger context for the experiences described in Passage 1. (D) Passage 2 provides an update of the situation depicted in Passage 1. (E) Passage 2 uses material presented in Passage 1 to correct a popular misconception. 10. The author of Passage 2 would most likely regard the mother’s willingness to “make French and Italian dishes” (lines 9-10, Passage 1) as (A) laughably pretentious (B) understandably conservative (C) typically American (D) a regrettable compromise (E) a surprising attitude 11. The two passages differ in their discussions of food primarily in that Passage 1 (A) considers specific dish es eaten by particular people, whereas Passage 2 comments on a culture’s general attitude toward eating (B) contrasts the cuisines of different cultures, whereas Passage 2 emphasizes culinary practices common to all cultures (C) presents an abstract theory of food, whereas Passage 2 offers a historical analysis of consumption (D) emphasizes the role of nostalgia in food preferences, whereas Passage 2 rejects that approach as overly sentimental (E) outlines some popular choices in cuisine, whereas Passage 2 underscores those that are more unusual 12. Unlike the author of Passage 2, the author of Passage 1 makes significant use of (A) direct quotation (B) sociological analysis (C) hypothetical assumptions (D) historical sources (E) personal experience Line

Questions 13-24 are based on the following passages. The passages below discuss the possibility of locating intelligent life on other planets. Passage 1 has been adapted from a 1999 book on the history of the universe. Passage 2 was excerpted from a 2000 book on the scientific quest for extraterrestrial life. Passage 1 Generations of science-fiction movies have conditioned us to consider bug-eyed monsters, large-brained intellectual humanoids, and other rather sophisticated extraterrestrial creatures as typical examples of life outside Earth. The reality, however, is that finding any kind of life at all, even 5 something as simple as bacteria, would be one of the most exciting discoveries ever made. The consensus within the scientific community seems to be that we eventually will find not only life in other parts of the galaxy but also intelligent and technologically advanced 10 life. I have to say that I disagree. While I believe we will find other forms of life in other solar systems (if not in our own), I also feel it is ex tremely unlikely that a large number of advanced technological civilizations are out there, waiting to be discovered. The most succinct support 15 for my view comes from Nobel laureate physicist Enrico Fermi, the man who ran the first nuclear reaction ever controlled by human beings. Confronted at a 1950 luncheon with scientific arguments for the ubiquity of technologically advanced civilizations, he supposedly 20 said, “So where is everybody?” This so-called Fermi Paradox embodies a simple logic. Human beings have had modern science only a few hun- dred years, and already we have moved into space. It is not hard to imagine that in a fe w hundred more years we will 25 be a starfaring people, colonizing other systems. Fermi’s argument maintains that it is extremely unlikely that many other civilizations discovered science at exactly the same time we did. Had they acquired science even a thousand years earlier than we, they now could be so much more 30 advanced that they would already be colonizing our solar system. If, on the other hand, they are a thousand years behind us, we will likely arrive at their home planet before they even begin sending us radio signals. Technological 35 advances build upon each othe r, increasing technological abilities faster than most people anticipate. Imagine, for example, how astounded even a great seventeenth-century scientist like Isaac Newton would be by our current global communication system, were he alive today. Where are 40 those highly developed extraterrestrial civilizations so dear to the hearts of science-fiction writers? Their existence is far from a foregone conclusion. Passage 2 Although posed in the most casual of circumstances, the Fermi Paradox has reverberated through the decades 45 and has at times threatened to destroy the credibility of those scientists seriously engaged in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) research program. One possible answer to Ferm i’s question (“If there are extraterrestrials, where are they ?”) is that extraterrestrials 50 have in fact often visited Earth, and continue to do so. This is the answer of those who believe in the existence of unidentified flying objects, or UFO’s. But few scien- tists, even those engaged in SETI, take the UFO claims seriously. “You won’t find anyone around here who 55 believes in UFO’s,” says Frank Drake, a well-known SETI scientist. If one discounts the UFO claims, yet still believes that there are many technological civilizations in the galaxy, why have they not visited us? Drake’s answer is straightforward: “High-speed interstellar travel is so 60 demanding of resources and so hazardous that intelligent civilizations don’t attempt it.” And why should they attempt it, when radio communication can supply all the information they might want? At first glance, Drake’s argument seems very persua- 65 sive. The distances between stars are truly immense. To get from Earth to the nearest star and back, traveling at 99 percent of the speed of light, would take 8 years. And SETI researchers have shown that, to accelerate a spacecraft to such a speed, to bring it to a stop, and 70 to repeat the process in th e reverse direction, would take almost unimaginable amounts of energy. Astronomer Ben Zuckerman challenges Drake’s notion that technological beings would be satisfied with radio communication. “Drake’s implicit assumption is 75 that the only thing we’re going to care about is intelli- gent life. But what if we have an interest in simpler life-forms? If you turn the picture around and you have some advanced extraterrestri als looking at the Earth, until the last hundred years there wa s no evidence of intelligent 80 life but for billions of years before that they could have deduced that this was a very unusual world and that there were probably living creatures on it. They would have had billions of years to come investigate.” Zuckerman contends that the reason extraterrestrials haven’t visited us is that so 85 few exist. Line

(B) Extraterrestrial civili zations would most likely have discovered technology at about the same time human beings discovered it. (C) Extraterrestrial technology would develop at roughly the same rate as human technology. (D) Extraterrestrial civilizations would inevitably use technology for aggressive ends. (E) Science is a more powerful form of human knowledge than are art and literature. 18. The claim made in Passage 1 that a “consensus” exists (lines 8-11) would most likely be interpreted by the author of Passage 2 as (A) evidence of compromise in the scientific community (B) an attack on SETI researchers (C) support for Fermi’s analysis (D) a revelation of an unexpected truth (E) an oversimplification of a complex debate 19. The author of Passage 1 mentions Isaac Newton (lines 37-40) in order to (A) emphasize the rapid rate of technological innovation (B) acknowledge the impact of a profound thinker (C) criticize the inflexibility of Newton’s contemporaries (D) speculate about Newton’s influence on current research (E) highlight the value of scientific curiosity 20. In lines 44-48, the author of Passage 2 indicates that the Fermi Paradox has been (A) thoroughly misunderstood (B) surprisingly influential (C) overwhelmingly perplexing (D) intermittently popular (E) frequently misquoted

(A) The means to accomplish such a project may be beyond our reach. (B) Interstellar colonization is as morally problematic as was colonization on Earth. (C) We would do better to study indigenous life-forms rather than search for ex traterrestrial creatures. (D) Humans would be wise to consider that they themselves are subject to colonization. (E) Funding for such an undertaking would pose a thorny political issu e for any government. 22.

Each passage below is followed by questions based on its content. Answer the questions on the basis of what is stated or implied in each passage and in any introductory material that may be provided. Questions 6-7 are based on the following passage. “Mechanical pencils rule ,” my fifteen-year-old grandniece, Genevieve, declar ed when I invited her to be her generation’s voice on school supplies. “Nobody sharpens anymore.” Then, continuing with a fashion maven’s hyperbole and arbitrary imperatives, she gave 5 a passionate disquisition on types of clickers, new grips, smaller lead sizes, and other niceties of pencil selection. As she consigned the yellow-painted wooden pencil to the wastebasket of history, I felt a rush of nostalgia for the perfumed sharpener shavings of my youth. 10 6. In lines 4-5, the author refers to a “fashion maven’s” tone primarily in order to (A) imply that Genevieve has only a superficial appreciation of mechanical pencils (B) suggest that Genevieve is excessively concerned about her clothing (C) illustrate some of the exaggerated claims made by mechanical pencil manufacturers (D) emphasize the unpredictability of trends in con- sumer tastes (E) indicate that Genevieve expresses her opinions with authority and flair 7. The author mentions “sharp ener shavings” (line 10) in order to portray a mood of (A) unrestrained joy (B) sentimental reminiscence (C) bitter disappointment (D) cautious optimism (E) dark foreboding Questions 8-9 are based on the following passage. Black holes are the most effi cient engines of destruction known to humanity. Their intense gravity is a one-way ticket to oblivion, and material spiraling into them can heat up to millions of degrees and glow brightly. Yet, they are not all-powerful. Even supermassive black holes are 5 minuscule by cosmic standards. They typically account for less than one percent of their galaxy’s mass. Accordingly, astronomers long assumed that supermassive holes, let alone their smaller cousins, would have little effect beyond their immediate neighborhoods. So it has come as a sur- 10 prise over the past decade that black hole activity is closely intertwined with star formation occurring farther out in the galaxy. 8. Which best describes the function of the statement in lines 10-13 (“So it . . . galaxy”) ? (A) It summarizes the points made in the first four lines of the passage. (B) It provides support for the argument asserted in the preceding statement. (C) It introduces a new view of information presented earlier in the passage. (D) It challenges recent scientific findings. (E) It offers examples to support a theory. 9. Which of the following most resembles the relationship between “black hole activity ” and “star formation” (lines 11-12) as described in the passage? (A) A volcanic eruption on one continent results in higher rainfall totals on another continent. (B) Industrial emissions in one region lead to an increase in airborne pollutants in adjacent regions. (C) A drought in a wilderness area causes a significant loss of vegetation in that area. (D) Decreased oil production in one country results in higher gas prices in oil-dependent countries. (E) Overfishing in a gulf leads to an increase in the population of smaller aquatic organisms. Line Line

Questions 10-15 are based on the following passage. The following passage is an excerpt from a 1909 novel. Georgia, the main character, is a reporter in an otherwise all-male newsroom. Georgia was to be married. It was the week before Christmas, and on the last day of the year she would become Mrs. Joseph Tank. She had told Joe that if they were to be married at all they might as well get it over with this year, and still there was no need of being 5 married any earlier in the y ear than was necessary. She assured him that she married him simply because she was tired of having paper bags waved before her eyes every- where she went and she thought if she were once officially associated with him people would not flaunt his idiosyn- 10 crasies at her that way. And then Ernestine, her best friend, approved of getting married, and Ernestine’s ideas were usually good. To all of which Joe responded that she certainly had a splendid head to figure it out that way. Joe said that to his mind reasons for doing things weren’t 15 very important anyhow; it was doing them that counted. Yesterday had been her last day on the paper. She had felt queer about that thing of taking her last assignment, though it was hard to reach just the proper state, for the last story related to pork-packers, and pork-packing is 20 not a setting favorable to sentimental regrets. It was just like the newspaper business not even to allow one a little sentimental harrowing over one’s exodus from it. But the time for gentle melancholy came later on when she was sorting her things at her desk just before leaving, and 25 was wondering what girl would have that old desk — if they cared to risk another girl, and whether the other poor girl would slave through the years she should have been frivolous, only to have some man step in at the end and induce her to surrender the things she had gained through 30 sacrifice and toil. As she wrote a final letter on her typewriter — she did hate letting the old machine go — Georgia did considerable philosophizing about the irony of working for things only to the end of giving them up. She had waded through snow- 35 drifts and been drenched in pouring rains, she had been frozen with the cold and prostr ated with the heat, she had been blown about by Chicago wind until it was strange there was any of her left in one piece, she had had front doors — yes, and back doors too — slammed in her face, 40 she had been the butt of the alleged wit of menials and hirelings, she had been patronized by vapid women as the poor girl who must make her living some way, she had been roasted by — but never mind — she had had a beat* or two! And now she was to wind it all up by 45 marrying Joseph Tank, who had made a great deal of money out of the manufacture of paper bags. This from her — who had always believed she would end her days in New York, or perhaps write a realistic novel exposing some mighty evil! 50 * the area regularly covered by a reporter 10. Based on information presented in the passage, which best describes what Georgia was “tired of ” (line 8) ? (A) Being forced to earn a living (B) Being teased about Joseph Tank (C) Being considered a hack writer by some of her colleagues (D) Being betrayed by her supposed friends (E) Being the only woman in the newsroom 11. The second paragraph suggests that Georgia believes the “proper state” (line 19) would be one of (A) excitement (B) wistfulness (C) amusement (D) annoyance (E) relief 12. In line 27, “poor” most nearly means (A) pitiable (B) indigent (C) inferior (D) humble (E) petty 13. Which most resembles the “irony” mentioned in line 34 ? (A) A worker moving to a distant state to take a job, only to be fired without warning (B) An executive making an important decision, only to regret it later (C) An athlete earning a starting position on a good team, only to quit in midseason (D) A student studying for a major exam, only to learn that it has been postponed (E) A person purchasing an expensive umbrella, only to lose it on the first rainy day Line

14. The description in lines 35-45 (“She . . . two!”) primarily serves to (A) suggest that Georgia envied those women who did not have to work (B) imply that Georgia would be unlikely ever to consider working as a reporter again (C) indicate the role that weather plays in the everyday life of a reporter (D) exaggerate Georgia’s reluctance to relinquish her job (E) show the adversities Georgia had to overcome as a reporter 15. In context, the phrase “This from her” (lines 47-48) helps to suggest that a (A) specific feeling is quite heartfelt (B) stated viewpoint is highly personal (C) certain decision is out of character (D) particular behavior is extremely upsetting (E) given attitude is unsurprising

Questions 16-24 are based on the following passage. The following passage is adapted from a book about television and popular culture . Ridiculing television, and warning about its inherent evils, is nothing new. It has been that way since the medium was invented, and television hasn’t exactly been lavished with respect as the decades have passed. I suspect, though, that a lot of the fear and loathing 5 directed at television comes out of a time-honored, reflexive overreaction to th e dominant medium of the moment. For the past several decades, television has been blamed for corrupting our youth and exciting our adults, distorting reality, and basically being a 10 big, perhaps dangerous, waste of time. Before TV, radio and film were accused of the same things. And long before that — in fact, some 2,500 years earlier — philosophers were arguing that poetry and drama should be excluded from any ideal city on much the 15 same grounds. In Book 10 of the Republic, Plato (428-348 B.C.) attacks epic poet Homer (c. 850 B.C.) and the trage- dians on several grounds, all of which have a familiar ring. “Their productions are appearances and not realities,” 20 he gripes. “Drawing, and in fact all imitation . . . [is] quite removed from the truth.” The audience, as well as the art form, troubled Plato, whose remarks are colored by an implied disdain for the popularity of public performances. The “common people,” as Plato so charitably calls them, 25 are drawn to “peevish and diverse” characters — such as Odysseus and other heroes in the Iliad and the Odyssey — who (to Plato, anyway) engage in such questionable displays of emotion as “spinning out a long melancholy lamentation” or “disfiguring themselves in grief.” To 30 Plato, baring such intimate sorrows is not to be condoned. (Clearly, he would have given thumbs down to the central characters of Shakespeare’s Hamlet and Macbeth.) “If you receive the pleasure-seasoned Muse 1 of song and epic,” Plato warns, “pleasure and pain will be kings in your city, 35 instead of law.” Finally, Plat o sums up his anti-arts argu- ment with the cold, sweeping pronouncement that “poetry is not to be taken seriously.” One academic who has studied and written extensively about both Plato and television suggests that Plato, rather 40 than being anti-arts, was merely an elitist. Plato wanted to ban poetry readings a nd live theater, the argument goes, because, being free and accessible and raucous and extremely popular, they were the mass entertainment of that era. “If, instead of ‘tragedy’ and ‘poetry,’ and 45 ‘Homer’ and ‘Aeschylus,’ 2 you read ‘mass entertainment’ or ‘popular media,’ you’ll recognize Plato’s arguments as the ancestor of all the reasons we have today for being suspicious of television.” To wit: poetry, by which Plato means drama, confuses 50 us between appearance and reality. The action it presents is too extreme and violent. Most important, it’s a corrupt- ing influence, perverting its audience by bombarding it with inferior characters and vulgar subjects — and con- stituting, in Plato’s own words, “a harm to the mind of 55 its audience.” If Plato’s Republic had become reality, it would have been a republic with a lot of empty libraries, theaters, and museums — if, indeed, those repositories of the arts would have survived at all. Plato’s personal utopia never came to 60 pass — but throughout the centuries, wherever and when- ever a new medium of artistic expression attracted a lot of people, someone has been ready, waiting, and eager to attack its content and fear its impact. 1 The Muses inspired poetry and song in Greek mythology. 2 Aeschylus (525-456 B.C.) was a Greek tragic dramatist. 16. The opening paragraph primarily serves to (A) criticize the way television distorts the truth (B) examine the evolution of television as a medium (C) place contemporary criticism of television in a historical context (D) directly compare television and drama as art forms (E) explain why television, radio, and drama appeal to the masses 17. Which of the following television shows would be LEAST vulnerable to the criticism expressed in lines 8-11 (“For . . . time”) ? (A) A melodrama in which police detectives attempt to solve crimes (B) A soap opera depicting interpersonal conflicts in a fictional law firm (C) A comedy whose primary characters are supernatural (D) A documentary on the state of education in the nation (E) A talk show that encour ages people to confront each other in front of a studio audience 18. In line 26, “drawn” most nearly means (A) brought (B) depicted (C) selected (D) attracted (E) shaped Line

19. Which of the following best characterizes Plato’s view of the heroes mentioned in line 27 ? (A) Admiration (B) Curiosity (C) Distrust (D) Disappointment (E) Contempt 20. The “academic” (line 39) i ndicates that Plato was primarily characterized by his (A) insight (B) artistry (C) cynicism (D) irreverence (E) snobbishness 21. The primary purpose of the statements in lines 39-45 (“One . . . that era”) is to (A) provide an interpretation of a viewpoint described in the previous paragraph (B) show how Plato’s view of politics should be understood in today’s terms (C) put divergent interpretations of Plato into historical perspective (D) account for the appeal of Plato’s writings (E) signal a digression in the passage 22. The fourth paragraph (lines 50-56) indicates that Plato’s principal objection to “poetry” (line 50) was its (A) confusing language (B) widespread popularity (C) depiction of turbulent events (D) influence on people’s morals (E) misrepresentation of historical figures 23. The author of the passage would probably agree with which of the following statements about the “utopia” referred to in line 60 ? (A) It would have encouraged new artistic ventures. (B) It would have stifled human creativity. (C) It is an ideal that we should continue to work towards. (D) It may come to pass because of the popularity of television. (E) It was a notion rejected by Greek philosophers. 24. The comment about “a new medium of artistic expression” (line 62) primarily suggests that (A) the author holds a fatalistic view of the future for artistic expression (B) certain societies in the past have been slow to accept new art forms (C) people often disguise their true feelings when it comes to art (D) the popular response to a new art form will often overcome opposition to it (E) a popular new art form will always receive some form of negative response STOP If you finish before time is called, you may check your work on this section only.

The passage below is followed by questions based on its content. Answer the questions on the basis of what is stated or implied in the passage and in any introductory material that may be provided. Questions 7-19 are based on the following passage. The following passage is from a 1979 essay by a Native American writer. An understanding of any national literature depends very much on an awareness of the larger cultural context. Without some knowledge of language, of history, of inflection, of the position of the storyteller within the group, without a hint of the social roles played by males 5 and females in the culture, without a sense of the society’s humor or priorities — without such knowledge, how can we, as reader or listener, pene trate to the core of meaning in an expression of art? The difficulty of gaining access to the literature of a 10 different culture may be illustrated by an exemplary folk- tale (in translation) from the Tanaina (Athabaskan) culture of south-central Alaska. It would typically be told to a general audience within the soci ety, including the full range of ages from young children to grandparents; it would be 15 recounted with gesticulation and exaggeration by a perfor- mance specialist. It would be expected to have different meanings to the various categorie s of listeners — instructive, entertaining, reinforcing, or all three. Here is a brief version of the story: 20 “Once upon a time there was a porcupine woman who decided to do some hunting on the far side of the river. She went to the bank, where she met a beaver. ‘Hello,’ she said to him. ‘I need to do some hunting over there. Will you ride me across on your back?’ 25 ‘I’d be glad to,’ replied the beaver. ‘Hop on.’ So the porcupine woman climbed on his back, and he started swimming for the other side. When he had almost made it, the porcupine woman said, ‘Oh my! I’ve forgotten to bring my sack. I’ll need to go back to the other bank and 30 get it.’ ‘All right,’ said the beaver , and swam back. He was panting while the porcupine woman went to get her sack. ‘Okay,’ she said. ‘Let’s go.’ So they started across again. The beaver was swimmi ng much more slowly. When 35 they had practically reached the other side, she said, ‘Oh my! I’ve forgotten to bring my needle. We’ll have to go back and get it.’ This time the beaver didn’t say anything — he didn’t have enough breath! But he turned around and pulled them 40 back to the shore and nearly passed out while she got her needle. ‘Hurry up, now,’ the porcupine woman said as she climbed back on his back. He could hardly keep his nose above water, but he had almost made it to the far bank 45 again when she said, ‘Oh my! I’ve forgotten my staff. We’ll have to . . . .’ Before she had finished her sentence the beaver had flipped over in the water and dragged himself onto the bank, where he lay half dead. The porcupine woman 50 managed to make the shore too, and climbed up onto a bear path. When she had caught her breath, she turned on the beaver and quilled him to death.” The Tanaina live in an envi ronment that could euphe- mistically be described as “d ifficult.” Survival, especially 55 in the wild, is always precarious . Further, they were, in the precontact period, a nonliterate people. Oral communica- tion was therefore the method of cultural transmission, legal understanding, and meaningful communication. It is also necessary to know that a “staff,” as mentioned in the 60 story, functions as both a walking stick and a weapon, and that in the Tanaina symbol system, porcupines were supposed to be rather ponderous, dull-witted creatures, and beavers were thought to be energetic and industrious but overly spontaneous and erratic. 65 For the reader armed with th ese data, the story becomes more accessible as a lesson in contract law, with several additional minor themes. A culturally attuned listener would notice, for instance, th at when the porcupine woman proposed passage to the beaver, he agreed without any 70 stipulations or clarifications of the terms. He gave a basically open-ended agreement — made a contract — and hence the porcupine woman was perfectly within her rights both in demanding that he return three times and in quilling him to death when he reneged. 75 The story is not, however, without its moral for the por- cupine women of this world. Her stated aim is to go hunting, and yet she sets out without the three essentials of that endeavor: a sack in which to carry home her game, a needle with which to sew up the intestines, and, most 80 important, an implement with which to hunt and defend herself. True, she had an open-ended contract, but where does she wind up at the conclusion of the story? Sitting, exhausted, quills used up, weaponless, and not only on the wrong side of the river from her home but on a bear path! 85 The hunter is about to become the hunted, and all because of her own improvidence.
