1. Read the following paragraph from "Resistance to Civil Government" by Henry David Thoreau: This American government, —what is

it but a tradition, though a recent one, endeavoring to transmit itself unimpaired to posterity, but each instant losing some of its integrity? It has not the vitality and force of a single living man; for a single man can bend it to his will. It is a sort of wooden gun to the people themselves. But it is not the less necessary for this; for the people must have some complicated machinery or other, and hear its din, to satisfy that idea of government which they have. Governments show thus how successfully men can be imposed upon, even impose on themselves, for their own advantage. It is excellent, we must all allow. Yet this government never of itself furthered any enterprise, but by the alacrity with which it got out of its way. It does not keep the country free. It does not settle the West. It does not educate. The character inherent in the American people has done all that has been accomplished; and it would have done somewhat more, if the government had not sometimes got in its way. For government is an expedient, by which men would fain succeed in letting one another alone; and, as has been said, when it is most expedient, the governed are most let alone by it. Analyze the rhetorical style of this paragraph. How does the style contribute to the essay's power? In particular, consider its parallelism and figurative language in formulating your response. Be sure to include specific details from the text to support your answer. (10 points)

Analyse how the representation of marginalised groups in ‘The Outsiders’ by S.E Hinton reflects the social context of its time
Ghella [55]

The social context that is represented in “The Outsiders”, is relevant to its time, as the author, Susan Eloise Hinton, herself faced social degradation in her high school class.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The novel is about the clashes between the lesser privileged section of the community and the higher orders of the community. The clashes are about the superiority of each section of society and the rules that govern the same.

It is also about friendships made and broken for the fear of being hurt or being let down, about love and fear between the two classes, and finally about how at the end of all, it does not make sense to maintain so much of enemy as each person differs in their circumstances.

The author is young and a female faced similar clashes in her times at the time of writing her book. She was also asked to change her name to be gender-neutral to appeal more to the crowd.

These pointer show and reflect the relevance of the marginalized groups of the contextual times.
