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.

Write an original short story which clearly illustrates the friendship between a boy and his dog. 350 words ​
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

Once a boy and his dog were sitting, looking through the valley and the boy said this would be a perfect spot for a party. So they went to the Daily Market and bought 50 lolly bags, 200 varieties of soft drink, and 25 board games.

But then he stopped and thought how am I going to carry all this stuff? So then he had to go and get 275 shopping bags, but then he stopped. How am I going to carry all these bags back to my house? So he had to go back and get 150 trolleys. But then he stopped and thought, now how am I going to push all these trolleys?

So he went back and bought 50 of the latest robot-helpers that had 10 arms to help you with anything. After all that pushing, packing, walking, and buying, the boy and his dog with the robots finally got back to the house.

About half an hour later the boy, the dog, and the robots had set up a big party area. So now the boy thought, its time I phoned some people to come. In the end he had phoned his best friend Max but he was at the doctors, he rang Sarah (someone on his basketball team.) but she was at the shopping centre with her mum, and his other friend Luke was at the cinema with his dad.

By this time it was already 5:30 pm, and the robots had run off and so the boy sighed. His dog howled too, and then the boy looked into his dog’s eyes and said well at least I have you. Then the dog jumped on the boy, licking him and rolling around and the boy was laughing so hard. It turns out it was a great party after all.

The end

In his poem "Unanimity Has Been Achieved, Not a Dot Less for Its Accidentalness," Bob Kaufman often starts stanzas with the word
marysya [2.9K]

"Unanimity Has Been Achieved, not a Dot Less for Its Accidentalness," by Bob Kaufman, represents the urban poor’s social problems. Kaufman often starts his stanzas with ‘I’ with which he wants to refer the problems of them as personal and to the readers. In need to awaken to the injustice prevailing in society, in his own words states that "extravagant moments of a shock of unrehearsed curiosity," he wants his readers to move themselves from their apathy. The use of ‘I’ refers as if he is conveying from his own personal experiences.
“I can remember four times when I was not crying & once when I was not laughing.
I am kneaded by a million black fingers & nothing about me
improves.”
Kaufman not only addresses those injustices but condemns them. He urges his readers to reject all the social norms that construct society and results in poverty.
Also through the use of the first person, he strives to call for equality in the society.
