Read the following excerpt from "Resistance to Civil Government" in which Thoreau argues that a person should disobey the govern

ment when its laws go against his or her conscience:
I have paid no poll-tax for six years. I was put into a jail once on this account, for one night; and, as I stood considering the walls of solid stone, two or three feet thick, the door of wood and iron, a foot thick, and the iron grating which strained the light, I could not help being struck with the foolishness of that institution which treated me as if I were mere flesh and blood and bones, to be locked up.
How does this excerpt best support Thoreau's argument?
A. It uses pathos to create a sense of fear of the government.
B. It uses his history of disobeying the government to illustrate logos.
C. It uses his personal experience of civil disobedience to build ethos.
D. It uses parallelism to show his disdain for being jailed for a minor crime

How does the author introduce the debate surrounding teaching televisions in the classroom?
Olenka [21]

The author argues for broadening the scope of what is considered literature and what is okay to teach in classrooms.

Explanation:

The author's argument is that the television and film have been forays old enough to be morally and culturally significant as literature as a large population grows up with exposure to it and its existence shapes their worldview too.

Thus it can be taught in the schools to show what is good and what is not on these forms too as well as to understand what is important in cultural context in these art forms too and what must be preserved as a society.

Essay on topic games should be compulsory for school children
iren2701 [21]

Today, children seem obsessed with video games. Most parents say this is “not good for their brains” or “just a distraction”.

However, there are good aspects to video games. Some are bad and not good for the brain, but there are plenty of good ones too!

For example, Minecraft is an easily acessible game that even some schools now are using! It inspires creativity and strategic thinking. Some tasks can be building their school.

So, how are some games eligible for a learning environment? There are plenty of games where you need to use your brain. They can teach you creativity, strategic thinking, and start good thought processes!

Just a starter! Feel free to edit! This isn’t the whole essay, but you can add on to it!
