Write a précis of "From 'On the Duty of Civil Disobedience" paragraph 1 by Henry David Thoreau

English
1 answer:
Oksana_A [137]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The actions and projects of a permanent government are carried out to the point of letting the permanent government become an inconvenience for the people, which it must represent. This is because the government is a completely corrupt system and can be used to stimulate the creation of conflicts and battles without importance that only bring disadvantages to the population. For this reason, it can be said that the best government is one that governs nothing, but the population is not ready for it.

Explanation:

The above précis was written from the first paragraph of "On the Duty of Civil Disobedience" where Thoreau exposes the governments' responsibility and incompetence to really represent the will of the people and not to be inconvenient. It also reinforces the need to allow the population to constantly complain about permanent governance, which promotes an easily corrupt and despotic system.

Why does the knight feel dishonored when the old woman wants to marry him?
Elden [556K]

The correct answer is D. because he thinks the old woman is too old and ugly.

Indeed, in Chaucer’s the Wife of Bath’s Tale, is the story of an Arthurian knight that raped a young woman and was sentenced to death.  Queen Guinevere convinces King Arthur to let her choose a different punishment. The Knife has to find the answer to the question of what women most want. The knife interrogates many different women but gets many different answers. Finally, he meets an old woman who agrees to tell him if he promises to do what she will later ask of him. She provides the knight with the answer: what women most want is to rule their husbands.

In exchange she asks him to marry her and he is repulsed by her old age and ugliness.
