Yes. Key wrote our national anthem in 1814.
Read the following passage. In 3–5 sentences, identify who wrote it. Support your choice with details about the content or style of the passage.
"One day, when all our people were gone out to their works as usual, and only I and my dear sister were left to mind the house, two men and a woman got over our walls, and in a moment seized us both, and, without giving us time to cry out, or make resistance, they stopped our mouths, and ran off with us into the nearest wood. Here they tied our hands, and continued to carry us as far as they could, till night came on, when we reached a small house, where the robbers halted for refreshment, and spent the night. We were then unbound, but were unable to take any food; and, being quite overpowered by fatigue and grief, our only relief was some sleep, which allayed our misfortune for a short time. The next morning we left the house, and continued travelling all the day. For a long time we had kept the woods, but at last we came into a road which I believed I knew. I had now some hopes of being delivered; for we had advanced but a little way before I discovered some people at a distance, on which I began to cry out for their assistance; but my cries had no other effect than to make them tie me faster and stop my mouth, and then they put me into a large sack."
The author of this passage is Olaudah Equiano. This passage is about his coming to America. I know it is olaudah Equiano because it is in a narrative style.

Hello REACH students. Your English teacher is watching you. Don't be lame, and use this website to cheat on your test.
Hello, Connections Academy Students. Please remember that using these outside sources on your test is a direct violation of the honor code you signed at the beginning of the year.
Cheating is over-rated. Just was trying to see if there is any way to start my short essay. Knowledge goes further then a few answers in your school. Scamming yourself out of important knowledge is not a good idea.. just sayin' to all you
HONOR CODE VIOLATION

yes mommy
Cassidy stop trying to "help" other kids who didn't do the work. You're "helping" them cheat. You're "helping" them lose their teacher's respect and trust. You're "helping" them fail.
