Read the excerpt and answer the question.

The mass of men serve the state thus, not as men mainly, but as machines, with their bodies. They are the standing army, and the militia, jailers, constables, posse comitatus, etc. In most cases there is no free exercise whatever of the judgment or of the moral sense; but they put themselves on a level with wood and earth and stones; and wooden men can perhaps be manufactured that will serve the purpose as well. Such command no more respect than men of straw or a lump of dirt. They have the same sort of worth only as horses and dogs. Yet such as these even are commonly esteemed good citizens. Others—as most legislators, politicians, lawyers, ministers, and office-holders—serve the state chiefly with their heads; and, as they rarely make any moral distinctions, they are as likely to serve the devil, without intending it, as God.

In at least 100 words, provide a summary of this excerpt. Based on this passage, how does Thoreau feel about the people who serve the state?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Too much respect for law leads people to do many unjust things, as war illustrates: Soldiers become only a shadow of their humanity; the government shapes them into machines. Soldiers have no opportunity to exercise moral sense, reduced to the existence comparable to that of a horse or dog. Yet these men are often called good citizens.

Explanation:

This paragraph is from Civil Disobediance by Henry David Thoreau, and my answer of "Too much respect for law leads people to do many unjust things, as war illustrates: Soldiers become only a shadow of their humanity; the government shapes them into machines. Soldiers have no opportunity to exercise moral sense, reduced to the existence comparable to that of a horse or dog. Yet these men are often called good citizens" conveys the summary.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

Thoreau feels about the people who serve the state are immoral because they are doing all the wrong things for the wrong reasons, To much respect for the law leads people to do many unjust things because they may take the law into their own hands when they see someone disobeying the order of how they think things are supposed to run. Soldiers became only a shadow of their humanity and then the government shaped them into machines that the people or themselves could not recognize themselves they have been turned into something they didn't want it's what the government wanted.

What is ironic about the pigs' activities in this excerpt? They fail to notice that other animals are watching them. They had previously planted barley in order to make beer. They changed the rules to allow drinking in a limited quantity. They prohibited alcohol when they took control of the farm.

Answers

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

The pigs appeared completely at ease in their chairs. The company had been enjoying a game of cards but had broken off for the moment, evidently in order to drink a toast. A large jug was circulating, and the mugs were being refilled with beer. No one noticed the wondering faces of the animals that gazed in at the window.

What is ironic about the pigs' activities in this excerpt? They fail to notice that other animals are watching them. They had previously planted barley in order to make beer. They changed the rules to allow drinking in a limited quantity. They prohibited alcohol when they took control of the farm.

Answer:

They prohibited alcohol when they took control of the farm.

Explanation:

When the pigs took control of the making they stipulated rules, which, according to them, allowed the welfare of the animals. Among these rules was the prohibition of alcoholic beverages by animals, since this type of drink was human behavior and animals repudiated anything that came from human beings. However, even forbidding alcohol, the pigs drank it because they did what they wanted, besides being as tyrannical as humans.

Because is a conjunction and a comma is not used before and after a conjunction as its purpose is to join two sentences. A comma is used to separates two ideas or things from each other.

To what extent do you agree (20 marks)
in your response you could:
- write about your impressions of this moments
- evaluate how the writer creates a sense of drama
- support your opinions with reference to the text

Answers

Answer:

In this extract, the writer definitely manages to convey a sense of urgency.

Explanation:

   This moment in the book puts too much tension on us readers, as well as on the main character, Katniss.

Sixty seconds is all the time she has to plan how to get weapons, food, and at the same time watch that no one kills her in the attempt. Time is so little, and it is so incredible that it even repeats it more than once to give emphasis.

The drama is present since the protagonist could die at that exact moment, and also because she really needs that bow and arrow with which she is so good. They are weapons she needs to avoid dying later.

 In this way, we can agree with the student's statement that "the writer manages to convey a sense of urgency in this extract."

Answers

Answer:

" As of today, television is immediately off-limits, for a week—in fact, consider yourself "unplugged" from ALL electronics, which should help you focus on your homework."

Explanation:

The above chosen answer is more correctly punctuated than any other sentence from the options.

There should be a comma after "As of today" and also after "off-limits"(since the person adds "for a week" as additional information)

"in fact" should have a hyphen before it as it shows continuation of thought which is still part of the sentence. Notice that "ALL" is capitalized to indicate emphasis

Sweet land conformity according to a 1991 Issa survey how do Americans feel about putting individual happinesses above the institution of marriage?

Answers

Summary:

       The lifestyle radicals of the '60s saw themselves as heirs to this American tradition of self-expression; today, it energizes the Tea Party movement, marching to defend individual liberty from the smothering grasp of European-style collectivism. And when it comes to questions about how much the respondents value the individual against the collective that is, how much they give priority to individual interest over the demand of groups, or personal conscience over the orders of authority Americans consistently answer in a way that favors the group over the individual. In fact, we are more likely to favor the group than Europeans are. Surprising as it may sound, Americans are much more likely than Europeans to say that employees should follow a boss's orders even if the boss is wrong; to say that children "must" love their parents; and to believe that parents have a duty to sacrifice themselves for their children. Though Americans do score high on a couple of aspects of individualism, especially where it concerns government intervening in the market, in general, we are likelier than Europeans to believe that individuals should go along and get along.
