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)

A student must write a five-paragraph essay about a current social issue. Which of the following topics is probably too broad?
Ivahew [28]
<span>Unfortunately you didn't share any options so that I could give you the right answer but I have one suggestion for you. Do not decide to describe the problems with the American legal system if you need to write a five-paragraph essay about a current social issue. Just because this topic is not a shallow one and you will need to analyse loads of information that should be included without reducing the sense. I hope it's clear. I would write something like ''the dangers of using cell phones while driving''.</span>
