Directiоns: (а) first identify the аuthоr аnd then (b) write a shоrt paragraph which explains the context and significance of the following passage: “[W]e oppose appearances to appearances when we say ‘The same tower appears round from a distance, but square from close at hand’; and thoughts to thoughts, when in answer to him who argues the existence of Providence from the order of the heavenly bodies we oppose the fact that often the good fare ill and the bad fare well, and draw from this the inference that Providence does not exist.”

Directiоns: (а) first identify the аuthоr аnd then (b) write a shоrt paragraph which explains the context and significance of the passage. “You were not on an equal footing with your father as regards the right, nor with your master if you had one, so as to retaliate for anything they did to you, to revile them if they reviled you, to beat them if they beat you, and so with many other things. Do you think you have this right to retaliation against your country and its laws?”
