Thoreau’s general opinion of government relate to his imprisonment, as described in "Civil Disobedience" as:

A) He believed that government was corrupt and that he was justified in not paying his taxes despite being put in prison.

Henry David Thoreau's argument in the “Civil Disobedience” was that the citizens of a nation need to disobey the laws implemented by the state if the laws are unjust. He speaks about his experience when he protested against slavery and the Mexican War by refusing to pay taxes. He adds that there are two types of laws, one is made by God and the other by the people. The laws made by God is about humanity and is higher than the laws made by men. He adds that if the laws made by men prove to be unjust and are against humanity then the people should have the right to disobey them.

I would say that Thoreau's general opinion of government relates to his imprisonment in such a way that A) He believed that government was corrupt and that he was justified in not paying his taxes despite being put in prison.
He felt proud of himself for sticking to his ideals, regardless of the price.

Finish this simile: English class is like...
Law Incorporation [45]

English class is like receiving presents on your birthday

or

English class is like having to sit through a movie you didn’t want to see but will be tested on when it’s over.


<span>Similes are comparisons using the words “like” or “as” in order to give readers a better sense of understanding when there may otherwise be little understanding or not the understanding a writer wishes to convey. What this means is that authors will compare something that may not be known to readers to something that most likely will be known in order to present the best image understood by the most readers.  Because not everyone may have the same perspective of an English class as you, for instance, one way to convey an idea of what English class is to you, the use of a simile would work well.  If you enjoyed your English class you might compare it to something you know your general audience enjoys and write something like “English class is like receiving presents on your birthday” because of how each day’s knowledge is wonderful surprising experience for you.  If you hated English class, you might write something like English class is like having to sit through a movie you didn’t want to see but will be tested on when it’s over.  As you can see the use of similes make writing more expressively.</span>
