We often fail to live up to our full potential; as a result, we disappoint God and our own selves.
Choose the best summary of this passage from Ralph Waldo Emerson's "Self-Reliance." "We but half express ourselves, and are ashamed of that divine idea which each of us represents. It may be safely trusted as proportionate and of good issues, so it be faithfully imparted, but God will not have his work made manifest by cowards. A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and done his best; but what he has said or done otherwise, shall give him no peace." God withholds good things from us until we work hard enough to please him. We often fail to live up to our full potential; as a result, we disappoint God and our own selves. We are typically happier when we live safely and tentatively; bold expression and hard work make us unhappy. We don't know who we are, and the only thing that will make us happy is doing hard labor to achieve another person's goals.

The poor land jobber begged him to grant a few months' indulgence. Tom had grown testy and irritated, and refused another day. "My family will be ruined, and brought upon the parish," said the land jobber. "Charity begins at home," replied Tom; "I must take care of myself in these hard times." "You have made so much money out of me," said the speculator. Tom lost his patience and his piety. "The devil take me," said he, "if I have made a farthing!" Just then there were three loud knocks at the street door. He stepped out to see who was there. A black man was holding a black horse, which neighed and stamped with impatience. "Tom, you're come for," said the black fellow, gruffly. Tom shrank back, but too late. He had left his little Bible at the bottom of his coat pocket, and his big Bible on the desk buried under the mortgage he was about to foreclose: never was sinner taken more unawares. The black man whisked him like a child into the saddle, gave the horse the lash, and away he galloped, with Tom on his back, in the midst of a thunderstorm."

In the book "On the Reading of Old Books," C. S. Lewis writes that reading old books can help us see truths differently. Every person has a point of view that coincides with their generation. Reading old books cleanses our minds of how the world thinks today. If we only focus on the perspective of modern times, we will never be free to see the perspectives on the same topics from an older generation. Old books help us to focus on other ideas (Lewis).
Paraphrase the following passage. Include an introductory tag and an in-text citation, and be careful not to plagiarize. "Every age has its own outlook. It is specially good at seeing certain truths and specially liable to make certain mistakes. We all, therefore, need the books that will correct the characteristic mistakes of our own period. And that means the old books ... None of us can fully escape this blindness, but we shall certainly increase it, and weaken our guard against it, if we read only modern books. ... The only palliative [or relief] is to keep the clean sea breeze of the centuries blowing through our minds, and this can be done only by reading old books." Lewis, C. S. "On the Reading of Old Books." On the Incarnation. Pantianos Classics, 1944, p. 6.

[5]Quoth the Raven "Nevermore." [6] "Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil!—prophet still, if bird or devil! [7]By that Heaven that bends above us—by that God we both adore— [8]Tell this soul with sorrow laden if, within the distant Aidenn, [9]It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels name Lenore— [10]Clasp a rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore."

People in England suffer more for vain pleasures than people in New England suffer for sufficient wealth.
The question to the right is based on the following passage. Lines 3-8 of "A Description of New England" And lest any should think the toil might be insupportable, though these things may be had by labor, and diligence: I assure myself there are who delight extremely in vain pleasure, that take much pains in England, to enjoy it, then I should do here to gain wealth sufficient: and yet I think they should not have half such sweet content: for, our pleasure here is still gains; in England, charges and loss. Here nature and liberty affords us that freely, which in England we want, or it costs us dearly. Choose the best paraphrase for the statement, "I assure myself there are who delight extremely in vain pleasure, that take much pains in England, to enjoy it, then I should do here to gain wealth sufficient." People in England foolishly spend all their money, unlike people in New England, who save it. People in England suffer more for vain pleasures than people in New England suffer for sufficient wealth. People in England suffer for sufficient wealth and don't have time for vain pleasures. Whether in England or New England, there is plenty of wealth to go around (if you suffer enough for it).

Using the stanza numbers provided in the lesson (next to each stanza of "The Raven"), match the stanza number to the correct paraphrase. Late one night I heard a knocking at my door and assumed it was some late-night visitor. Then, in a dark mood, I cried out to the bird, asking if he was sent to bring me relief from the pain of my memories of Lenore. He simply said, "Nevermore." I turned back into the room only to hear an even louder tapping at the window this time. "It must be the wind," I thought, as I headed toward the window. I threw open the window, and in flew a Raven who perched on the head of a statue that sat above my door. Just as I thought of her, the curtains rustled, and I got a shot of adrenaline before telling myself that it was just some late-night visitor at my door. But the raven was still sitting there above my door with his demon eyes and a shadow that cast all the way across my room, a shadow that will be never be lifted. Almost frantic at this point, I called the bird "evil" and desperately pleaded, "Tell me, then, that I will see Lenore again in heaven!" He simply said, "Nevermore." I could not believe my own ears but didn't understand the meaning of what it said. I mean, who has ever heard of a bird sitting above a door and having the name "Nevermore"? Amused again, I rolled my chair over to consider this bird more fully, especially what it meant with its repetition of "nevermore."

Sing back what sung you in.Sing back the moment you cherished breath.Sing you home into yourself and back to reason. Oh, before America began to sing, I sung her to sleep,held her cradleboard, wept her into day.My song gave her creation, prepared her delivery,held her severed cord beautifully beaded. My song helped her stand, held her hand for first steps,nourished her very being, fed her, placed her three sisters strong.My song comforted her as she battled my reasonbroke my long-held footing sure, as any child might do. Lo, as she pushed herself away, forced me to remove myself,as I cried this country, my song grew roses in each tear's fall. My blood-veined rivers, painted pipestone quarriescircled canyons, while she made herself maiden fine. But here I am, here I am, here I remain high on each and every peak,carefully rumbling her great underbelly, prepared to pour forth singing— and sing again I will, as I have always done.Never silenced unless in the company of strangers, singingthe stoic face, polite repose, polite, while dancing deep inside, politeMother of her world. Sister of myself. When my song sings aloud again. When I call her back to cradle.Call her to peer into waters, to behold herself in dark and light,day and night, call her to sing along, call her to mature, to envision—Then, she will make herself over. My song will make it so When she grows far past her self-considered purpose,I will sing her back, sing her back. I will sing. Oh, I will—I do.America, I sing back. Sing back what sung you in.
