--Examples:
- From
Emerson: “There is a time in every
man’s education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance;
that imitation is suicide; tha the must take himself for better for worse
as his portion….”
- Paraphrased
Emerson: Each person eventually
discovers that they must accept who they are and that they must attempt to
be the best they can with what they
have
- From
Crucible: Proctor: “She thinks to dance with me on my
wife’s grave! And well she might, for I thought of her softly. God help me, I lusted, and there is a
promise in such sweat. But it is a
whore’s vengeance, and you must see it; I set myself entirely in your
hands. I know you must see it now.”
- Paraphrased from Crucible: Proctor begs the court to recognize that Abigail is seeking revenge on his family for being put out by Elizabeth who discovered that he had had an affair with her (Abigail).
--Paraphrase these quotes from Gandhi:
- “There are two ways of countering injustice. One way is to smash the head of the man who perpetrates injustice and to get your own head smashed in the process.”
- “This other method is Satyagraha.
One who resorts to it does not have to break another’s head; he may
merely have his own head broken. He
has to be prepared to die himself, suffering all the pain.
