Answer:
The sentence "Get one half sheet of paper" is: directive.
Explanation:
Illocution, in speech acts, refer to the speaker's purpose or intent. An assertive sentence makes a statement. A directive sentence makes a request. A commissive one makes a commitment. An expressive sentence expresses an emotion. Finally, a declarative sentence creates a new state of affairs.
With that in mind, we can see that the sentence "Get one half sheet of paper" is directive. The speaker is asking for or demanding something. A directive sentence can be explicit or implicit. In this case, the verb that expresses such a demand is implicit. To make it an explicit directive, we could add "order" to the sentence: "I order you to get one half sheet of paper."

Why did Mark Twain begin his story with a warning and explanation in the beginning?
Answer: Twain greets readers with a "NOTICE" before he steps aside and allows Huck Finn to narrate the story. The following narrative, Twain warns, should not be analyzed for "motive" or "moral" or "plot" or punishment will follow. In the Explanatory, Twain notifies readers that characters will sound as if they live in the region in which the story takes place.
Explanation:
These statements serve three purposes. First, the warning is a satiric jab at the sentimental literary style, which was in direct contrast to Twain's brand of literary realism. Second, the warning introduces the use of satire, a harsh and biting brand of humor that readers will continue to see in the novel. Finally, the warning is a convenient method by which to ward off literary critics who might be eager to dissect Twain's work. Twain recognizes, no doubt, that his novel will incite controversy.

In that section, the phrase, "Everything Tends to Ruin", was used by a French Military commander to summarize the frustration of the French people who tried to colonize the Vietnamese people.
The locals used their knowledge of the terrains to cause mayhem to their colonists. They resisted the schooling offered by the French people and rather embraced their culture. All ploys by the French colonists to subjugate them were met with resistance.

It was one of those less lowering, but still grey and gloomy enough mornings of the transition, when with a fair wind the ship was rushing through the water with a vindictive sort of leaping and melancholy rapidity, that as I mounted to the deck at the call of the forenoon watch, so soon as I leveled my glance towards the taffrail, foreboding shivers ran over me. Reality outran apprehension; Captain Ahab stood upon his quarter-deck.

Explanation:
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 the sentence below:
"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."
In this context, what does the word agent mean?
