    The decisions to finally modernize the farm came as no surprise to Tess, but she never imagined that the barn would have to be demolished to accomplish this transformation.
    She carefully placed the jar back with the others, long forgotten, but never discarded.
    Tess traced the raised lettering of the cracked old Mason jar with her finger, remembering all of the days she'd spent with her two sisters playing house, veterinarian, and a host of other childhood games.
    In fact, she decided she would spend the next two weeks with them before leaving for college in Chicago.

  • Q6
    Which sentence from the passage best supports how Tess's actions contribute to the theme?
    Tess had intended to spend the night at her grandparents' house so she did not have to witness the destruction of this essential part of her childhood.
    In that moment, Tess understood that life continues to move forward, and she began to recognize that she, too, had all that she needed to embrace with what was to come.
    Almost as if he knew what Tess was thinking, her father attempted to distract her from her pain, saying, "Can't be too much longer for a few of these cows, so we just might see a newborn or two today."
    Tess whispered, "How can I stand idly by and let this all be destroyed when so much of my family is still alive in here?"
