excerpt from “Mohandas Gandhi: Truth in Action” by Vanessa Wright

“Thief,” thought Mohandas Gandhi. “I am a thief.”

Fifteen-year-old Mohandas looked at the gold in his hand. He had stolen it from his brother. It was not his first theft: earlier, he had stolen coins from the family’s servants. But now, the gold in his hand burned like a hot coal. He sat down and wrote a letter of confession to his father.

Would his father punish him? Mohandas watched as his father read the note. Tears rolled down his father’s cheeks, wetting the paper. But there was no scolding. Silently, his father tore the letter into pieces. Later, Gandhi realized that, in his father’s response, he had seen the principle of Ahimsa—of nonviolence—in action. He dedicated his life to that principle.

Which statement best describes how the anecdote affects the text?


It shows an important lesson that Gandhi learns as a young man.


It proves that an anecdote is the best way to begin a biographical text.


It shows the author wants readers to agree with the beliefs of Gandhi.


It demonstrates that Gandhi is a person who could not be trusted.

Answer:

it shows an important lesson that Gandi learns as a young man.

Read the sample student paragraph that addresses a counterclaim and rebuttal on increasing the legal age of driving to eighteen.
With car crashes being the leading cause of death among teenagers, many are in favor of raising the legal driving age to eighteen. However, those who cite these statistics are overlooking other important facts. For instance, men are seventy-seven percent more likely to be involved in an accident than women. Does this mean that we should ban men from driving? Other statistics show that one is more likely to be involved in an accident in Newark, New Jersey, than anywhere else in the nation. Does this mean that we should ban people in Newark from driving? Is it fair to simply look at crash statistics and apply them to an entire group of people without considering all of the factors involved? There are many factors other than age involved in causing an accident, and these factors are the ones that actually need to be addressed.

What makes this rebuttal effective?

It proves that age has nothing to with causing accidents.
It lists the biggest factors involved in causing accidents.
It suggests that gender is the issue as opposed to age.
It provides strong reasons to weaken the counterclaim.

What is meant by "taming" or "re-educating" the wild animals, and how might the animals justify this with their animalism ideology? What examples of this sort of thing can you think of in the real world?

Task 1: Reflecting on a Poem's Form

Earlier in this unit, you learned how to analyze a poem's rhythm or meter, which is defined by the pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables in each line. Scansion is the technical term for scanning a poem line by line and word by word, marking which syllables are stressed and which ones are unstressed.



Look at the metrical pattern of the first two lines of Robert Frost's poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening." The character x marks an unstressed syllable, while the character / marks a stressed syllable (in bold font in the text).



x / x / x / x /

Whose woods | these are | I think | I know.

x / x / x / x /

His house | is in | the vill | age though;



The scansion marks show that each line in the stanza has the same pattern: four pairs per line, with the unstressed syllable before the stressed syllable in each pair (x / x / x / x /). This pattern is called iambic tetrameter.



Select a song that you like and scan the lyrics, noting the rhyme scheme and meter. Then, reflect on and respond to the following questions:

What rhyme scheme and meter do the lyrics have? Is it a set meter, or does it vary?

How do you think the song type (rap, hip-hop, pop, country, etc.) influences the kind of meter it has?

Would you expect to find a similar rhyme scheme and meter in other songs in this genre?

If you recited the song lyrics as you would a poem, would it have the same rhythm and meter as it does as a song?

Does putting the lyrics to the musical arrangement alter the spoken rhythm of the




words?



Type your response here:





Now write a four-line stanza of your own that you think would go well to music. After you write the stanza, reflect on the following questions:

What rhyme scheme and meter does your poem have?

How do those qualities help express the meaning of the poem?

What genre of music do you see your poem fitting into?

In what ways is the musical genre you envision connected to the rhyme scheme and meter that you chose?

Task 2: Comparing Text and Song Versions of a Poem

In this task, you will write a short essay that contrasts how a poem sounds when read in its original form to how that poem sounds when heard as a song.



Choose one of the following pairs of poems and songs:

“” by Alfred Tennyson; song “The Lady of Shalott” by Loreena McKennitt

“” by Emily Dickinson; song “Because I Could not Stop” by Natalie Merchant

“” by Christina Rossetti; song “Promises Like Pie-Crust” by Carla Bruni

“” by William Butler Yeats; song “The Two Trees” by Loreena McKennitt



Plan to read the text version of the poem and listen to the song version a few times to get a good feel for the rhythm of each of the two versions and how it contributes to the feel and meaning of the poem in both situations.



Write a short essay (200–400 words) comparing the two versions of the poem, considering the following questions:

How does the meter of the poem change, if at all, when it is presented in song form?

Does the original poem have a meter that lends itself well to song lyrics?

How, if at all, is the poem changed or presented differently as a song?

Why might the artist have made changes to the poem?

Does the poem take on a different meaning in song form than in poetic form?

The song that I choose is Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran.

#1 The scheme that the song use in each stanza is ABAB.

#2 It's an acoustic song about love and I think the song is influenced by the emotion of the writer.

#3 Yes, but different in tempo and beat in musical chores

#4 Nope, Singing is not the same on how you read a poem

#5Yes it may vary on the beat and drops of music chores

I've been meaning to ask you

If that's not too drastical

wonder if it's okay

To pick you up by eight

The rhyme scheme of this poem is AABB. The rhyme in this poem is achieved by the pronounciation and stress put into "ask you"; stressing ASK and then stressing the first syllabe of "drastical" and this way the rhyme on the first two lines is completed. Then for the last two lines the rhyme is achieved and the whole stanza resolved by stressing "okAY" and then "Eight".

Meter:

The stanza's meter is trochaic tetrameter (4 trochees, 8 syllables)

I've been | meaning | to | ask you

if that's | not | too | drastical

wonder | if | it's | okay

To pick | you up | by | eight

This rhyme scheme and meter are most used by rap artist for it's impact and flexibility to create a rhyme. The stressed words are the ones that address the receiver of the message that is a proposition for a meeting or a date. This poem is fitting for the rap music genre, for it's pronounciation  of key words (with a suburban accent) completes the rhyme in the second and third lines ("oKAY" and "DRAStical").

Read the excerpt from The Dark Game.

As a result of the cut cables, Germany lost its most secure long-distance communications system. The Germans now had to rely on radio transmissions from their powerful wireless station at Nauen, a few miles from Berlin. Which was exactly what the British military knew they would have to do. And once the Germans began sending wireless messages, MI8, the British code breakers, began plucking them from the air. Of course, all German correspondence was sent in a complicated cipher system, so that was when the hard work began for the code breakers of MI8.

Explanation:

An independent clause is a group of words that can stand alone as a complete sentence. On the contrary, a dependent clause requires an independent clause to be a complete sentence.

In the given sentence, there are two parts with the use of the subordinating conjunction "if". In a sentence, the use of subordinating conjunction, whether at the start of a sentence or in between signifies a complex sentence.

Now, a complex sentence is a sentence that has an independent clause along with one or more dependent clauses. And here, the conjunction used is a subordinating conjunction.

Therefore, the given sentence is a complex sentence.

Another thing that changed very little in the years between the wars was the means of obtaining military intelligence.

And, of course, both armies relied on cavalry scouts, signal intercepts, visual observation, and captured correspondence.
