There has been much debate in our community lately about the
starting time of schools. It is clear from the evidence presented that
the high school needs to have a later starting time. Records show that
70 percent of tardy high school students show up before the end of
first period. Some residents believe that this is due to early morning
doctor appointments, but only eight percent of those students had
medical excuses. They are simply sleeping in. Additionally, parents of
younger children complain that they have to wait until 8:45 to see their
kids off to elementary school.

Read this excerpt from the bachelor's story in "The Story-Teller," in which he is describing the character Bertha: "'Was she pretty?' asked the bigger of the small girls. 'Not as pretty as any of you,' said the bachelor, 'but she was horribly good.'

Doctors and health professionals agree, exercise is one of the most important things you can do for your health. Many fitness experts advise people to go to a gym at least three times a week and work out on fitness machines. I think fitness machines are great for those who like them. However, most people in my experience are bored silly by fitness machines and need to force themselves to use them. The result is that the majority of people who join gyms end up quitting after a few months. Is there anything that can be done? I think that people who play games for fitness do much better. Now there are some who regard games as childish and a waste of time. But to me, and to many people like me, games are fun. The desire to improve and win in a game provides people with motivation. As a result they don’t end up quitting their exercise regime. Which kinds of games are good? Any games that are competitive. I recommend tennis, racquetball, squash, basketball, soccer, softball, or many other things. Come on, get in the game, folks!
1.What concession does the author make about fitness machines?
2.What is the tone of the paragraph? How does the author create this tone?
3.Find a sentence that is an example of a rhetorical question. Why might the author have chosen to use a rhetorical question?
4.Write a paradox that the author could have included in the paragraph, and explain what it means.

Part 1

Most people remember Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as reformers who practiced non-violent forms of protest and advocacy. Both effectively changed the popular opinion about emotional issues for their countries and brought in a wave of change that was long overdue. But the practice of non-violent protest, or civil disobedience, started long before either Gandhi or King. It began with a quiet, shy poet who is best known for writing a lot about a pond.

Henry David Thoreau lived from 1817 until 1862, mainly in the area of Concord, Massachusetts. The issue that would tear the country apart in the 1860s had already begun dividing the nation. Thoreau was only 14 when Nat Turner led the slave rebellion in Virginia and was later hanged. In his late 20s, Thoreau began speaking against slavery in public, echoing the voices of freedmen like Frederick Douglass and Lewis Hayden.

Thoreau believed that a government that supported slavery was corrupt and immoral. He was also deeply suspicious of government. For these and other reasons, Thoreau refused to pay his poll tax for a number of years. The poll tax was a legal tax owed by every person. It was basically a tax on one's body. After not paying for years, he was at last arrested. He spent only one night in jail, however, as a relative paid the tax for him. He was reportedly furious that any tax was paid on his behalf.

It was this experience that Thoreau wrote about in an essay called "Civil Disobedience." In this essay, he argued that being moral and just came before allegiance to government. He wrote “If the machine of government is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law." He also felt that voting was not enough to ensure that the right thing be done. He wrote that "even voting for the right is doing nothing for it… A wise man will not leave the right to the mercy of chance…" He felt that one had a moral responsibility to resist unjust laws.

Read this line from the third paragraph:

For these and other reasons, Thoreau refused to pay his poll tax for a number of years.

How does this sentence prepare readers for the final line of the paragraph?

It lets readers know his refusal to pay wasn't just a passing idea.
It lets readers know Thoreau was a thoughtful man.
It tells readers his reasons for refusal were not important.
It tells readers why Thoreau was not arrested for so long.
