Civil Disobedience
Part 1
Most people remember Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as reformers who practiced non-violent forms of protest and advocacy. Both effectively changed the popular opinion about emotional issues for their countries and brought in a wave of change that was long overdue. But the practice of non-violent protest, or civil disobedience, started long before either Gandhi or King. It began with a quiet, shy poet who is best known for writing a lot about a pond.
Henry David Thoreau lived from 1817 until 1862, mainly in the area of Concord, Massachusetts. The issue that would tear the country apart in the 1860s had already begun dividing the nation. Thoreau was only 14 when Nat Turner led the slave rebellion in Virginia and was later hanged. In his late 20s, Thoreau began speaking against slavery in public, echoing the voices of freedmen like Frederick Douglass and Lewis Hayden.
Thoreau believed that a government that supported slavery was corrupt and immoral. He was also deeply suspicious of government. For these and other reasons, Thoreau refused to pay his poll tax for a number of years. The poll tax was a legal tax owed by every person. It was basically a tax on one's body. After not paying for years, he was at last arrested. He spent only one night in jail, however, as a relative paid the tax for him. He was reportedly furious that any tax was paid on his behalf.
It was this experience that Thoreau wrote about in an essay called "Civil Disobedience." In this essay, he argued that being moral and just came before allegiance to government. He wrote “If the machine of government is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law." He also felt that voting was not enough to ensure that the right thing be done. He wrote that "even voting for the right is doing nothing for it… A wise man will not leave the right to the mercy of chance…" He felt that one had a moral responsibility to resist unjust laws.
What does the author show in the story of Thoreau going to jail?
How Thoreau protested
How angry Thoreau was
That few people protested
He was influential
Answer:
Thoreau protested laws that he believed were unfair.
Explanation:
What point of view does Emily Brontë use in this excerpt from the novel Wuthering Heights?
In all England, I do not believe that I could have fixed on a situation so completely removed from the stir of society. A perfect misanthropist’s heaven: and Mr. Heathcliff and I are such a suitable pair to divide the desolation between us. A capital fellow! He little imagined how my heart warmed towards him when I beheld his black eyes withdraw so suspiciously under their brows, as I rode up, and when his fingers sheltered themselves, with a jealous resolution, still further in his waistcoat, as I announced my name.
A.
first-person point of view
B.
second-person point of view
C.
third-person limited point of view
D.
third-person omniscient point of view

Scene: Morning-room in ALGERNON'S flat in Half Moon Street
The room is luxuriously and artistically furnished. The
sound of a piano is heard in the adjoining room. LANE is
arranging afternoon tea on the table, and after the music has
ceased, ALGERNON enters.
ALGERNON. Did you hear what I was playing, Lane?
LANE. I didn't think it polite to listen, sir.
ALGERNON. I'm sorry for that, for your sake. I don't
play accurately — any one can play accurately — but I
play with a wonderful expression. As far as the piano is
concerned, sentiment is my forte. I keep science for
Life.
LANE. Yes, sir.
ALGERNON. And, speaking of the science of Life, have
you got the cucumber sandwiches cut for Lady Bracknell?
LANE. Yes, sir. (Hands them on a salver.)
ALGERNON. (Inspects them, takes two, and sits down on the
sofa.) Oh! ... by the way, Lane, I see from your book that
on Thursday night when Lord Shoreman and Mr. Worthing were dining with me, eight bottles of champagne are entered as having been consumed.
LANE.
Yes, sir; eight bottles and a pint.
ALGERNON.
Why is it that at a bachelor’s establishment the servants invariably drink the champagne? I ask merely for information.

Nights and Dragons— From the memoir of author Abigail Prynne I could have given up, but I thought about my grandmother. She always told me that "people who believe that science is the answer to everything are missing out on everything else." With her words in mind, I searched some more. There were many facts that hinted that dragons may not be fictional. I noticed that cultures across the world all described dragons in similar ways. This was odd because they had no way to communicate with each other. I found dragons mentioned in more than just stories. They appeared in old legal papers, in the travel logs of Marco Polo, and in the Bible. I saw that the Chinese calendar uses a different animal each year. Dragons are included along with eleven real animals. I began to believe it was a real possibility that all of these people were talking about a creature that actually existed. The text discusses the Chinese calendar by writing, "Dragons are included along with eleven real animals." What does that imply?
(A. Dragons are the only fake animal on the Chinese calendar.
(B. Dragons are not the only fake animal on the Chinese calendar.
(C. Dragons are real because all the other animals on the calendar are fake.
(D. Dragons are real because all the other animals on the calendar are real.
Answer:
Well i guess dragons are the only fake animal on the Chinese calendar because we only mostly heard about dragon's in paper and other then that

Read the paragraph. Then answer the question that follows.
Perhaps you wanted pizza for dinner, but were out voted by the rest of the family who wanted chili. This is similar to what happens in a community. One person has to give up a right for the good of the group. Sometimes citizens' duties and rights conflict with each other. A good example is a public protest. People have the right to meet in groups and share ideas. However, a protest can disrupt traffic or other normal activities. A city must provide extra police protection to keep people safe. Therefore, the city has the right to require permission in advance for a protest. Government must make laws to balance the rights of individuals and different groups of people.
