Read the Greek myth "Midas" retold by Thomas Bulfinch and answer the question.

[1] Bacchus, on a certain occasion, found his old schoolmaster and foster-father, Silenus, missing. The old man had been drinking, and in that state wandered away, and was found by some peasants, who carried him to their king, Midas. Midas recognized him, and treated him hospitably, entertaining him for ten days and nights with an unceasing round of jollity.

[2] On the eleventh day he brought Silenus back, and restored him in safety to his pupil. Whereupon Bacchus offered Midas his choice of a reward, whatever he might wish. He asked that whatever he might touch should be changed into gold. Bacchus consented, though sorry that he had not made a better choice.

[3] Midas went his way, rejoicing in his new-acquired power, which he hastened to put to the test. He could scarce believe his eyes when he found a twig of an oak, which he plucked from the branch, become gold in his hand. He took up a stone; it changed to gold. He touched a sod; it did the same. He took up an apple from the tree; you would have thought he had robbed the garden of the Hesperides. His joy knew no bounds, and as soon as he got home, he ordered the servants to set a splendid repast on the table. Then he found to his dismay that whether he touched bread, it hardened in his hand; or put a morsel to his lip, it defied his teeth. He took a glass of wine, but it flowed down his throat like melted gold.

[4] In consternation at the unprecedented affliction, he strove to divest himself of his power; he hated the gift he had lately coveted. But all in vain; starvation seemed to await him. He raised his arms, all shining with gold, in prayer to Bacchus, begging to be delivered from his glittering destruction. Bacchus, merciful deity, heard and consented. "Go," said he, "to River Pactolus, trace its fountain-head, there plunge yourself and body in, and wash away your fault and its punishment." He did so, and scarce had he touched the waters before the gold-creating power passed into them, and the river sands became changed into gold, as they remain to this day.

Select a possible theme of the myth.

Choices sometimes have negative results.
Gold is a symbol of wealth and authority.
People who expect a reward for good deeds are selfish.
Money does not bring as much happiness as friendship.

For questions 21-42, if you were to change the following first person selection to third person objective, what changes would you need to make? This will require a great number of adjustments; if you don't see why right away, you should review the discussion material before doing this exercise. The biggest clue here is that the objective point of view reads no thoughts. Keeping this in mind, choose what (if any) changes need to be made.

(21) “Where are you headed, Wilson?” I inserted. (22) Not that I cared, especially if it was to visit me, but I wanted to get Martin off his case a little.

(23) He hesitated, not wanting to say he had come to look for me, I figured. (24) “Oh,” he said, “Just . . . down the road.” (25) When that didn't seem adequate, he added, “To walk the flume.”

(26) I would have let it go, because he probably made it up, anyway, and if he hadn't, so what? (27) Let him go ahead and walk it. (28) But Martin picked up on it right away. (29) “Walk the flume?” he said in his sarcastic way. (30) “Why, that's a dangerous activity for such a sweet, young lad. (31) Maybe we'll have to show you how it's done.”

(32) “Oh, great,” Wilson exclaimed, not catching the sarcasm at all.

(33) I thought of what my mom said about Wilson's needing friends so badly that he'd go along with anything to get them. (34) And here was Martin treating him like a dog. (35) Like a hundred times before, I felt sorry for Wilson. (36) But that didn't make me like him or like to be around him. (37) And now we had to go walk the flume with him. (38) I couldn't believe Martin had invited us to go along. (39) But maybe he was just bored and wanted to see how Wilson would perform on the flume. (40) “Ever been there before?” I asked.

(41) “No.”

(42) “Let's go, then,” Martin said.
