Read the sonnet.
Sonnet XII
by William Shakespeare

When I do count the clock that tells the time,
And see the brave day sunk in hideous night;
When I behold the violet past prime,
And sable curls all silvered o'er with white;
When lofty trees I see barren of leaves
Which erst from heat did canopy the herd,
And summer's green all girded up in sheaves
Borne on the bier with white and bristly beard,
Then of thy beauty do I question make,
That thou among the wastes of time must go,
Since sweets and beauties do themselves forsake
And die as fast as they see others grow;
And nothing 'gainst Time's scythe can make defence
Save breed, to brave him when he takes thee hence.

Can somebody tell me what i would make on my literary essay if i turn this in and here are the instructions will i make a 0 on this

Explanation: In any group of children, it’s a given that some will be popular and powerful while others will be teased and rejected. In the real world, adults use their authority to control these divisions and maintain a balanced group dynamic. In Lord of the Flies, however, children must fend for themselves and elect their own leader—and Piggy, wise but scorned, is never seriously considered. Though Piggy is intelligent, rational, and innovative, he lacks the charisma and facility with language that both Ralph and Jack possess, traits that the book suggests play crucial roles in establishing their authority. Piggy may have the tactical smarts to be a good leader, but because he cannot convincingly act the role, he would not be able to marshal the boys if given the chance.Although his contributions often go unappreciated, Piggy comes up with some of the most important innovations on the island. He sees the conch’s potential as a rallying device and firmly believes in its ability to keep operations running smoothly. He understands the importance of taking a census, which the other boys recognize only after the little boy with the mulberry birthmark goes missing and they can’t determine how many other littluns were killed in the fire. Piggy’s glasses provide the spark for the signal fire, metaphorically demonstrating how intellect can spark great progress. The scholarly, sensible Piggy is a born administrator, one who understands how to categorize and effectively utilize information. He also shows surprising personal strength, both in his ability to tolerate the cruel taunts from the other boys, including his supposed friend Ralph, as well as in his willingness to voice the unpleasant truth about the likelihood of rescue.However, despite these admirable qualities, Piggy is resoundingly unsuccessful on those few occasions in which he does attempt to lead. He stubbornly holds onto outdated customs, such as the use of the conch, long after Ralph and Jack realize that the shell no longer holds sway over the group. Piggy insists on the rules even when the rules are clearly irrelevant, and this stickler attitude, along with his constant speechmaking and self-righteous complaining, drives people away. Ralph and Jack intuitively know how to rally followers, while Piggy seems to repel them relentlessly. Piggy is so unsuccessful, in fact, that he ultimately dies in the act of trying to lead: He is crushed while waving the conch, fruitlessly ordering others to listen to him.


Piggy’s total lack of success in a leadership role suggests that there are significant differences between a “leader” and a “thinker.” Ralph has an aura of poise and capability that wins him trust. His authority is rooted in personality rather than innovation—he relies on Piggy for that—and he understands the importance of rhetoric in winning followers. For example, he speaks in the language of rescue, playing into the boys’ deepest hopes and fears to bolster his hold over them. Jack wields power effectively as well, and boys are drawn to his glamour and charisma. Jack’s leadership is rooted in intimidation, which appeals to the boys once the island turns savage. The boys’ negative reaction to Piggy’s physical unattractiveness emphasizes the role external personas play in establishing command; the boys’ don’t so much reject Piggy because he is ugly, but because he does not know how to play the role of a leader.


Piggy’s failure as a leader points to an important theme of the novel: the failure of civilization in the face of savagery. Piggy represents rationalism and discipline, the very qualities that Jack himself identifies as making “the English . . . the best at everything.” Despite Jack’s initial support of rules and regulations, however, The Lord of the Flies suggests that absent the structures of school, family, and government, which prop up civilization, human beings will always choose anarchy and hedonism over law and order. Piggy represents the wild boys’ strongest link to civilization: Once he is killed, the hope of regaining it is lost forever, and only chaos remains.

This isn't a question but here is my essay on if school should have community hours or not. Read it and tell me what you think, please.

Many schools in the US are requiring students to do volunteer hours, so they can graduate. Volunteering is good, but not when you are being forced to do so. You should volunteer because that is something you want to do. Not because you need it to graduate. Schools should not require students to earn volunteer hours in order to earn their diplomas because students should volunteer because they want to, forcing stents can demotivate them, and students should not be forced to work for free.
Making students volunteer has them doing it for the wrong reason and defeats the purpose of volunteering. Source 3 states, doing community services is something the students should choose to do. Not because they need the hours to graduate. “Community service is supposed to be something you want to do," Reyhner said. As Reyhber said, community services should be something you want to do. As well as doing community services because you are essentially being forced to do. Students are not volunteering for the right reasons and it defeats the whole purpose of it in the first place. Source 2 says, “Having students volunteer their time is hardly a new idea. If given the time to freely pursue our own interests, surely, many of us would still volunteer. Still, doing good can't be force-fed.” To sum it up, students should not be forced to volunteer because it ruins then the whole purpose in the first place and makes them volunteer for the wrong reasons.
Forcing students to do community hours could demotivate them and make them never want to do it again. Source 2 demonstrates that forcing students to do volunteer hours can demotivate them, and might even make them lose interest completely. “As attractive as it may seem, service-learning isn't the most effective way of prompting students to become civic-minded. When volunteering becomes mandatory, students can lose the motivation that sparks pure voluntary service.” When you force students to volunteer they lose their interest, and all the motivation to volunteer in the first place. If students volunteer, it should come from the heart. If not then they will lose all motivation too. In addition to demotivating forcing volunteer hours could make students, the government is completely ruining the point of volunteering by making students volunteer. This is because volunteering should be something you want to do. According to source 1, "Most people have an intuitive sense that it is good," Bullock said. "But by cramming it down their throats by government edict you are really polluting and corrupting the whole spirit of volunteerism.” In conclusion, forcing students to do volunteer hours to graduate can demotivate them, and volunteer for the wrong reasons.
Another reason why schools should ban community service hours is that the government is getting free service from students. In source 1, it explains students are required to do community service hours, the government is getting students to work for them without payment. According to Fuller, students should not be made to do community services and instead spend more time on improving grades. On another hand, In source 4 the writer explains that students can learn better social skills from volunteering. “Meeting people and having fun are also good reasons to volunteer.” In summary, volunteer hours can have their benefits but the government should not be using students to get free services in order for them to graduate.
To sum it all up, schools should not require students to earn volunteer hours in order to earn their diploma because students should volunteer because they want to, forcing students to demotivate them, and students should not be forced to work for free. Community services should be something students choose to do, it is their choice if they want to volunteer or not. If community service becomes mandatory in every school students will not enjoy going to school or volunteering as much as they would have if there were not forced to do so.

Read the excerpt from “The Monkeys Paw.”

But her husband was on his hands and knees groping wildly on the floor in search of the paw. If he could only find it before the thing outside got in. A perfect fusillade of knocks reverberated through the house, and he heard the scraping of a chair as his wife put it down in the passage against the door. He heard the creaking of the bolt as it came slowly back, and at the same moment he found the monkey's paw, and frantically breathed his third and last wish.
The knocking ceased suddenly, although the echoes of it were still in the house. He heard the chair drawn back, and the door opened. A cold wind rushed up the staircase, and a long loud wail of disappointment and misery from his wife gave him courage to run down to her side, and then to the gate beyond. The street lamp flickering opposite shone on a quiet and deserted road.
How does Mrs. White’s reaction compare to that of Mr. White after the third wish has been granted?
A. She is heartbroken, and he is relieved.
B. She is sad, and he is angry.
C. She is anxious, and he is remorseful.
