Read this excerpt from Little Brother and answer the following questions in complete sentences using proper grammar and punctuat

ion:
Marcus manages to flag down a vehicle and they get more than they bargained for...

It was a military-looking Jeep, like an armored Hummer, only it didn't have any military insignia on it. The car skidded to a stop just in front of me, and I jumped back and lost my balance and ended up on the road. I felt the doors open near me, and then saw a confusion of booted feet moving close by. I looked up and saw a bunch of military-looking guys in coveralls, holding big, bulky rifles and wearing hooded gas masks with tinted face-plates.

I barely had time to register them before those rifles were pointed at me. I'd never looked down the barrel of a gun before, but everything you've heard about the experience is true. You freeze where you are, time stops, and your heart thunders in your ears. I opened my mouth, then shut it, then, very slowly, I held my hands up in front of me.

The faceless, eyeless armed man above me kept his gun very level. I didn't even breathe. Van was screaming something and Jolu was shouting and I looked at them for a second and that was when someone put a coarse sack over my head and cinched it tight around my windpipe, so quick and so fiercely I barely had time to gasp before it was locked on me. I was pushed roughly but dispassionately onto my stomach and something went twice around my wrists and then tightened up as well, feeling like baling wire and biting cruelly. I cried out and my own voice was muffled by the hood.

I was in total darkness now and I strained my ears to hear what was going on with my friends. I heard them shouting through the muffling canvas of the bag, and then I was being impersonally hauled to my feet by my wrists, my arms wrenched up behind my back, my shoulders screaming.

I stumbled some, then a hand pushed my head down and I was inside the Hummer. More bodies were roughly shoved in beside me.

"Guys?" I shouted, and earned a hard thump on my head for my trouble. I heard Jolu respond, then felt the thump he was dealt, too. My head rang like a gong.

"Hey," I said to the soldiers. "Hey, listen! We're just high school students. I wanted to flag you down because my friend was bleeding. Someone stabbed him." I had no idea how much of this was making it through the muffling bag. I kept talking. "Listen—this is some kind of misunderstanding. We've got to get my friend to a hospital—"

Someone went upside my head again. It felt like they used a baton or something—it was harder than anyone had ever hit me in the head before. My eyes swam and watered and I literally couldn't breathe through the pain. A moment later, I caught my breath, but I didn't say anything. I'd learned my lesson.

In her tale, the wife of bath offers direct statements on friars(line 39-56), women' s desire (lines 101-126), and marriage (lin
Dennis_Churaev [7]

The Wife of Bath's tale is part of the Canterbury Tales, contained in the part about marriage, where people offers their philosophies and experiences on love and marriage.

On the first reference (lines 39-56) the wife makes a direct statement on friars. She describes the friars' activities as she has seen them work, but then she states they are a danger to women as they won't do more than take your virtue.

The second reference (lines 101-126) is to women's desire, she states that some say women want the freedom to do as they please, without being told otherwise, but to be thought as good and wise.  First, she says men ought to be good and caring to women and that some women enjoy being called discreet and secret, but she negates this continuing her story recalling the story of Midas.

Finally, the last reference (lines 433-440) is to marriage, she is an experienced woman who has been married five times. In the final lines, she asks God for young husbands to please women and short lives for the ones who won't be governed by their wives.

In the whole tale, the woman is presented as a strong, independent, intelligent and determined person who works to get her own benefits from her husbands. She has very open concepts on different matters and her image is very ahead of her time.
