Sample Reading Passage:
It’s the late 1400s, and you’re a peasant living in Ross Castle along the beautiful shores of Killarney, Ireland. Looking out a narrow window, you watch your master’s livestock graze on the bright green grass near a clear lake. The slit in the wall beside you is barely wide enough to see outside. Most arrows attackers shoot will strike the Castle’s stonewall rather than enter the stairwell. Of course, you’ll have no problem aiming your weapon at charging troops that often invade your home.
