The best thesis statement would be:
A. Schools should encourage volunteering because it reduces stress, promotes personal growth, and has a positive effect on society.
This is the best because it provides the topic "Schools should encourage volunteering" and then it goes on to provide reasons for this that will most likely be described in the rest of the paper.
Hope this helps!
D- knowing how to plan before you write
Honestly, I doubt a teacher can even give an actual grade for these because these are extremely debatable to people and are more useful just for psychiatric testing.
If you feel that your answer works, you can always right next to it and explain your reasoning!
I can only answer the 1st question.
Both men in these stories faced peer pressure. They were pressured to go against their own beliefs in order to satisfy society's demands.
<span>“No Witchcraft for Sale.” - In this story, Gideon did not bow down to peer pressure. He kept silent and gave the impression of succumbing to the pressure given to him but doing what he wanted to really do. He gave the wrong root to satisfy the demands of the public. He also signified his displeasure by being more formal to his employers and for keeping his silence.
"</span><span>“Shooting an Elephant” - In this story, the police man gave in to the pressure of shooting the elephant not because it is a legal thing to do but because of self-preservation. He doesn't want to appear as a fool to the public that detests him. He preferred to be hailed as the one who shot the elephant than be further jeered as the one who did not shoot the elephant.
Both men did what they did to serve their own purpose. Gideon's way was sticking to his values while the police man sacrificed his own values to ensure an acceptable place in the community he lives in. </span>
