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

2) Rain gardens are located in 30 percent of the residential parkways in Allentown, Ill.

3) Rain gardens include plants and materials that help absorb water into the ground before it is washed into sewers.

4) Rain gardens are a natural way to reduce storm water runoff that pollutes local waterways

Answers

ANSWER: #4
I would say #4 Rain gardens are a natural way to reduce storm water runoff that pollutes local waterways is correct because in the thesis statement it talks about how the water ways are polluted and number 4 is the only one that talks about pollution. (Sorry if I’m wrong) ♡♡

Answer:

I would say the answer is number 4: Rain gardens are a natural way to reduce storm water runoff that pollutes local waterways

Explanation:

A topic sentence is meant to express the main idea of a paragraph, so I already scratch off number 1 and 2, since they do not have to do with polluted waterways and actions to stop it. This would mean it is between number 3 and 4. Although number 3 gives information about rain gardens, it does not mention that they are a way to stop or reduce pollution in local waterways. Therefore, the answer is number 4. I hope this helped!

Answers

Answer:

Time is a valuable thing. One minute you have it, the next its gone. Sometimes you have the ability to control time. It goes fast as you have fun, yet continues to slow whenever you start to experience the lack of excitement. Habits usually fill our time, examples could be art, writing, and sightseeing. But my all time favorite would be mountain climbing. Free climbing is the most dangerous, of course, for it involves no bungee, but I see it as more than a risk. Particularly, the freedom of time.

   Saturday morning I pack my chalk, climbing shoes, knee and elbow pads, and an extra cord unless I want to feel more secure. I live in the lower part of Indiana, where my family grew up in a suburban farm. Its not all that, like a city house with an in-ground pool, but its quiet, and thats all I want. I was born Feb. 17th, 1987 and only been to 4 major states in my last 30 years. its now 2021, with special equipment like Smart Phones and wireless headphones. I remember playing in the backyard with my best friends and not caring about taxes, money, and the ability to get by. It was better, and its everything I wish I could do again.

    Now, this story might be wasting your time, drawing you from ecstatic adventure and making the clock tick slower and slower, but I promise its just getting good. On the same Saturday as i was loaded my things into the back of my ford, I spaced out. No, not just spaced, I passed out. It was like I was drifting in a rift of space. Little did I know, that was exactly what i was doing.

   I get up, dazed and dry-mouthed as I attempt to stand. I look down at my hands. They're tiny. My feet look small, too. I take a look around and im in my old room. My 10-year-old self room. I go into the kitchen and see the calendar. July 6th, 1997. This isnt right. If anything I'm probably just dreaming. Mild concussion symptoms and coma illusions can do this to you. But if I really am here, this is the moment I walk outside to see the cops. At 10 years old, July 6th, 1997 my father died from a shooting. I can already hear the sirens and practically see that lights. I feel tears roll one by one down my cheek as i look out the window. There he was, Jonathan Wilson, my father, on my driveway, dead.

** 70* POINTS** I NEED HELP
Write a thesis statement in response to the following prompt.

Prompt: Read the letter to the editor "I, Too, Have a Dream." How does the writer use structure and language to persuade her readers and support her feelings about immigration?

Dear Editor,

I have never taken the time to write a letter to the editor, but something happened that lit a fire in me. Last week, as my best friend Areliss and I headed to class, a group of college protesters blocked our path. Their signs read "GO HOME" and "ILLEGALS LEAVE." They shouted, "Send them home!" These protesters couldn't have known what Areliss felt as they shouted and waved pamphlets in our faces like tattered flags. But, I know their words were bullets to Areliss's heart. I wanted to fire back to the protestors: Where are your ancestors from?

Areliss came to the United States illegally, but she didn't do it intentionally. She was a baby. Her parents, seeking a better life, failed to follow the established immigration procedure, and they slipped into our country undetected. Once here, they raised Areliss, who would grow up never knowing any other home but America.

Under DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals), Areliss has been granted the temporary opportunity to remain here while she completes her college education. DACA ensures, at least for a while, that she will not be deported to a country she has never visited in her entire life.

The term "DREAMers" refers to an act that would have protected these immigrant children if they attended college or served in the military. The DREAM Act did not pass, but its name has remained. DACA recipients have a dream: they dream that their lifelong contribution to the United States will one day be recognized, and they will be permitted to stay in the country they have always called home.

Now, DACA is ending. Those who oppose DACA say it encourages illegal activity, weakens our borders, and goes against the Constitution. I understand their concerns. In an era of heightened security, we must do our utmost to keep this great nation safe. That includes establishing a healthy monitoring system for immigration.

But, those who oppose DACA, who wield protest signs and who want to build walls, have never felt the dreaded doom of deportation. They forget that our long and colorful history has been built by many immigrants—including the immigrants who fought for and founded our country. They forget that Lady Liberty stands as a beacon, asking for the tired, the poor, and the huddled masses yearning to breathe free. We have a responsibility to them.

To send DREAMers away is to deny that responsibility. Programs like DACA exist to keep the American dream alive.

Yes, Areliss is a DREAMer. But I, too, have a dream. My dream is that DACA will be reinstated. My dream is that Areliss will be invited to stay in the country she has known as home since she was a baby and live out her dreams in the country she loves.

Sincerely,

Brittany Taylor

Explanation:

Read the passage.

It might not be well known, but there is a desert in North America. It spans along the western side of the continent, from southern Oregon to northern Mexico. It is mostly contained in the arid area between the Rocky Mountains to the east and the fertile coast of the Pacific Ocean to the west. Researchers estimate that the desert is between 500,000 and 730,000 square miles.

Differences of latitude, elevation, climate, topography, vegetation, soil, and human use have divided the desert into a cold region and a hot region. The cold region of the desert is known as the Great Basin Desert. This area covers almost all of Nevada, western Utah, and sections of the neighboring states. South of this basin is the Mojave Desert, which is the hot region of the North American Desert. This area covers much of California, southern Nevada, and some of Mexico.

As a desert, the area is arid because of high evaporation, extreme temperatures, high winds, localized storms, and sun-beaten land. Life in the desert is a struggle for humans. People do live in this desert, but the pockets of people are dispersed and isolated. Native Americans and European settlers have added to the population of the region. Despite the harsh conditions, a surprising number of plants, animals, and reptiles make the desert their home. In fact, some species can only be found in the desert.

Which information best supports the idea that the desert is a difficult place to live?

A. There are differences of latitude, soil, and climate among the deserts.
B. The desert has pockets of people that are dispersed and isolated.
C. There are extreme temperatures, high winds, and localized storms.
D. The desert has a surprising number of plants, animals, and reptiles.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is C: There are extreme temperatures, high winds, and localized storms.

Explanation:

the other answers do not support the idea that the desert is a difficult place to live because they do not say why or how, while answer C tells some examples of why the desert is a difficult place to live in, such as extreme temperatures or high winds. This is why answer C supports the idea that the desert is a difficult place to live. I hope this helped!

I believe I should have a later bedtime because it allows me more time to study/do homework such as biology without premonition!

By the time I finish one homework assignment and glance at the clock, it's already (insert what you think is a late time)! Take today as an example. I had to write a biography for English, had over 2 hours of Biology homework, and I had to figure out the meaning of words like cacophony, premonition, and homophone for this poetry assignment I was doing! By the time I have any spare time to do the things I want to do, it comes to an abrupt stop because (insert your current bedtime) comes! The agony of never being able to finish (insert a project you want to do) or even read (insert book name) is driving me crazy!

For these reasons, I think you should let me have a later bedtime.
