Where the Rainbow EndsRichard Rive

Where the rainbow ends

There’s going to be a place, brother,

Where the world can sing all sorts of songs,

And we’re going to sing together, brother,

You and I, though you’re white and I’m not.

It’s going to be a sad song, brother,

Because we don’t know the tune,

And it’s a difficult tune to learn.

But we can learn, brother, you and I.

There’s no such tune as a black tune.

There’s no such tune as a white tune.

There’s only music, brother,

And it’s music we’re going to sing

Where the rainbow ends.

Taken from The World Anthology by Robert R. Potter and Roger B. Goodman, Globe Book Company, Inc., 1983.

Name and number:

Literature Post-Assessment

Directions: Read “Where the Rainbow Ends” by Richard Rive and then type in the answers to the following questions. Give detailed, thoughtful responses. (Each question is worth FOUR points. Sketchy or incomplete answers will not get many points.)

Copy your completed test and email it to Mrs. Kragen.

1. State an important idea from the poem in a sentence or two.

2. In your own words, explain what the speaker means by the lines:

It’s going to be a sad song, brother,

Because we don’t know the tune,

And it’s a difficult tune to learn.

3.What does the poem tell us about change? Support your response with details from the poem.*

4.Write a new title for the poem. Give two reasons from the poem that show why you title is a good one.

* Think about the generalizations about change that we’ve talked about this year:

· Change is linked to time.

· Change is everywhere.

· Change may be positive or negative.

· Change may be perceived as orderly or random.

· Change may happen naturally or be caused by people.
