There was once upon a time a king who was so much beloved by his subjects that he thought himself the happiest monarch in the whole world, and he had everything his heart could desire. His palace was filled with the rarest of curiosities, and his gardens with the sweetest flowers, while in the marble stalls of his stables stood a row of milk-white Arabs, with big brown eyes. Strangers who had heard of the marvels which the king had collected, and made long journeys to see them, were, however, surprised to find the most splendid stall of all occupied by a donkey, with particularly large and drooping ears. It was a very fine donkey; but still, as far as they could tell, nothing so very remarkable as to account for the care with which it was lodged; and they went away wondering, for they could not know that every night, when it was asleep, bushels of gold pieces tumbled out of its ears, which were picked up each morning by the attendants. After many years of prosperity a sudden blow fell upon the king in the death of his wife, whom he loved dearly. But before she died, the queen, who had always thought first of his happiness, gathered all her strength, and said to him: Your response should be a minimum of three paragraphs.

Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “You must do the thing you think you cannot do.” Write a well-organized 3 paragraph narrative essay about a time when you did something you thought you could not do. How did you feel? How did you change and grow? What did you learn?

You will write a minimum of three paragraphs. Read the prompt carefully and respond to what is being asked.
When Montag becomes confused by Beatty's "proof" that books contradict one another and are therefore meaningless, Faber tells Montag on the two-way radio that he must decide for himself. Faber adds, "Remember that the captain belongs to the most dangerous enemy to truth and freedom, the solid unmoving cattle of the majority. Oh God, the terrible tyranny of the majority." It is usually easiest to go along with whatever the majority of people are doing and thinking. List three examples of your personal experience and from history of "the terrible tyranny of the majority." Also, elaborate on the evidence that you provide (what was the effect of everyone going with the majority? What effect did it have on everyone else? Should people always go with the majority?). For this response, you will write a three stanza, four line poem. Your topic will be "topic of choice" (meaning you will write a poem on whatever you want to write about). Your poem must have a minimum of five words in each line and must have a rhyme scheme (ABAB meaning the first and third lines rhyme and the second and fourth lines rhyme). Be creative!! Your poem can be serious, funny, ect.
Your response will be a minimum of three paragraphs. If you write less than three paragraphs, your response will be considered incomplete.

How believable is a future like the one Bradbury describes, one that ban books, and original thought? Could this rampant use of censorship really occur? Explain and defend your answer (evidence). You must respond with three paragraphs. You will not receive credit if you do not write three paragraphs.
Your response should be detailed (elaborate). As this science fiction novel opens, the main character, Guy Montag, is thinking about the excitement of being a fireman. He is going home after midnight, and the streets are deserted. There seems to be a tone of menace about the streets. Even though this is a futuristic novel, how different is this scene on a dark street from that same scene in our times? Imagine a conversation you might have with a family member who was awake when you arrived home late at night, as Montag did. Describe your feelings of being afraid while walking home alone to a friend. |
