Write a summary.
The birth process of penguins is fascinating and quite different from that of other animals. The female penguin lays an egg. Soon after laying the egg, the female penguin leaves and spends the winter in the sea. Meanwhile the male must take care of the egg. For two months, he places the egg on his feet under his belly. During this time, the male penguin does not eat. Even after the baby penguin hatches, the male penguin continues to take care of the infant penguin.

The roots of modern theater can be found in early Greek theater. Greek theater began as a religious ceremony that honored the Greek god Dionysus. At first, choruses chanted lyrics. When actors were added to interact with the chorus, theater was born. Later, the Dionysus festival in Athens became a drama competition, and amphitheaters were built to accommodate the event. Both tragedies, which taught lessons, and comedies, which made fun of life, were performed. Greek theater declined when the great playwrights died and the government changed.

Ben Franklin, a well-known American living from 1706 to 1790, gained fame as an inventor, scientist, author, printer, and politician. As an inventor, he developed a range of items including the Franklin stove, bifocals, and swim fins. His experiments verified that lightning was simply a form of electricity. As an author, he was best known for his annual Poor Richard’s Almanack that supplied advice to readers on numerous subjects. As a politician, Franklin helped write the Declaration of Independence, signed the Constitution, and served as an ambassador to France. While Franklin’s accomplishments spanned many domains, his life spanned three countries: the US, Great Britain, and France.
