"Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and acco

rdingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
The theme of this passage from the Declaration of Independence is best described as:

a) experience shows suffering

b) new governments provide security

c) long-term governments should not be changed lightly

d) discomfort can be endured, but abuse will not tolerated

Answer: long-term governments should not be changed lightly, letter "C".

Explanation: people tend to fear the unknown, and changing means stepping into the unknown. When it comes to government it is even important maintaining a certain <em>status quo</em>, because every nation must have a long-term plan.

A very good example of this is Dom Dinis, king of Portugal in 1279. He ordered his people to plant many trees, foreseeing that Portugal was going to rule the seas. He wasn't alive when the great navigations of his kingdom happened, but the trees he ordered to plant were put to very good use when the ships were built. <u>That is what a long-term plan is, and that can not happen if governments and rules are changed constantly.</u>

However, the text says to not tolerate absolute despotism, so there will be times when we need to act, and these times are when a government does not plan. When there are no plans, our future is at stake.

Therefore, it is important not to change governments for any meanness, meaningless or pesky reason; this is a very important decision and it must happen when absolutely necessary.

How does the structure of a poem affect its meaning?
pentagon [3]
Poetry is literature written in stanzas and lines that uses rhythm to express feelings and ideas. Poets will pay particular attention to the length, placement and grouping of lines and stanzas. This is called form. Lines or whole stanzas can be rearranged in order to create a specific effect on the reader. One example is the sonnet, which is a 14 line poem with a specific rhyme scheme. The key with sonnets is that most end with a pair of lines set apart from the rest. Setting these two lines aside gives emphasis to their content, so whatever message is being sent will be given more importance. Another aspect of the structure of poems is the rhythm, which is the beat of the poem. This is usually measured in meters, which are sets of stressed and unstressed syllables. Poets often arrange words according to meter in order to create specific sounds or beats. Think about any song (which is a type of poem) that you sing along to. Think about the rhythm of the music and the words. Is the singer angry? Or sad? The notes and meter might at first be fast, harsh, or short, while later it might be slow, soft, and drawn-out. These rhythms affect the overall message.
