3.4.4 Test (TST): Wrap-Up: The American Narrative Test English 11 Sem 1 Points Possible: 45 Name: Lucy Lilly Date: 12/14/2018 1. Short-response prompt (15 points) Read the following excerpt from?Life on the Mississippi?by Mark Twain. Two or three of the boys had long been persons of consideration among us because they had been to St. Louis once and had a vague general knowledge of its wonders, but the day of their glory was over now. They lapsed into a humble silence, and learned to disappear when the ruthless "cub"-engineer approached. This fellow had money, too, and hair-oil. Also an ignorant silver watch and a showy brass watch-chain. He wore a leather belt and used no suspenders. If ever a youth was cordially admired and hated by his comrades, this one was.

The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail is an exciting, poignant, accessible, and intellectually engrossing play in two acts, with several shifting and interpolated scenes from the real and imagined life of Henry David Thoreau (1817-62), the great nineteenth- century American author and poet-philosopher. The play is a dramatic representation of a vital moment in our history, in which the 29-year-old Thoreau?s ardent refusal to pay taxes?in protest to the United States government?s involvement in the Mexican War?landed him in prison in his home of Concord, Massachusetts. This famous act of civil disobedience?daring and unprecedented though it was? is merely the point of departure for Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee?s widely

Huckleberry Finn
Mark twain
Mark Twain was way ahead of his time in much of his writings. Though he didn’t flat-out say it, early in the novel, Twain sent the reader the message that the color of your skin is not what makes you a good or a bad person. Huckleberry Finn’s father, Pap, is hands down the worst man in Huck’s town, yet ironically he feels the need to hate on every black person that walks by. Twain shows his hidden opinion to the reader in the way that Pap talks about the black professor who had visited their town… “Here’s a govment that calls itself a govment, and lets on to be a govment, and thinks it is a govment, and yet’s got to set stock-still for six whole months before it can take a-hold of a prowling, thieving, infernal, white-shirted free nigger….” (38)

Emerson first sought an answer to the question of a man's place in a "science" of nature. His essay, Nature, was published in 1836, and is the main text by Emerson about transcedentalism. It is divided into 8 parts: 1. Nature A. It is an experience of solitude. B. We have to use the pleasure of nature with some moderation. 2. Commodity A. Nature is perfectly fitted for human beings. B. Nature is something which is alive and surrounds men and which is at their service; however, idndustry is not contradiction with nature: for him, both are complementary. 3. Beauty: He didvides it into 3 elements A. Beauty, as a pleasure in perceiving natural forms, as a relief for men. B. Beauty as "the mark God sets upon virtue." C. Beauty as an object of the intellect.
