...English 10 Answer Key Miss Meakes All the Troubles of the World Introductory Questions 1. Identify and describe: a. Protagonist – Multivac is powerful supercomputer that knows everything about everyone in the world. Multivac can predict most crimes, and it is through Multivac that the police forces have eradicated most crime and solved other economic and social problems. The people of the world have come to regard Multivac as a god-like figure. They trust Multivac with all of their most personal information and in return expect protection and answers to every question. Multivac is a troubled protagonist because it has been told so much information about human beings that it has developed human emotions. Multivac cannot handle the pressure and sorrow of “all the troubles of the world” and seeks to destroy itself. b. Antagonist-The antagonist (the force or person that opposes the protagonist) of “All the Troubles of the World” is the society, specifically Gulliman and the other members of the Board of Corrections. This group wants to prevent the destruction of Multivac because they are so dependent on the solutions it offers. They know that their world would disintegrate into a state of “general catastrophe” (266). Because they want to prevent the destruction of Multivac, and that is what Multivac wants, the society is the antagonist in this story. *Ben Manners is not the antagonist. He doesn’t oppose Multivac, he simply acts...

...than just trouble and failure” “There is more to Yeats’ poems than just trouble and failure”- the statement is partially correct as the poems interpret other themes as well. “When you are old” and “The second coming” are two poems that express trouble and failure in the form of other themes, “when you are old” expresses trouble and failure in the theme of love and age. Love is shown through Yeats’ love for Maud Gonne and age is shown through Maud Gonne as she grows old. “The second coming” expresses trouble and failure in the themes of higher power and history. Higher power is shown through the likes of Jesus and history is shown through the repetitions of the world based on the past. The theme of love in “when you are old” shows Yeats love for Maud Gonne. The quote “How many loved your moments of glad grace, and loved your beauty with love false or true”, explains to us how beautiful she is and how she was admired because of it. He uses alliteration to describe her beauty as one that is not superficial. Yeats’ explains his love for her with the quote “But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you, and loved the sorrows of your changing face”, the romantic notion shows Yeats’ love for her is different compared to everyone else, he loved her soul, loves her essence and will even love her when she is old and grey. He loves everything about her, but she does not love him back. This is how trouble and failure within this poem is shown, with all the love he gives and all the heart...

...impact and/or influence society may have on that person or group of people. Mills' notion compels us to investigate into an individual's biography and lifestyles, and place their findings within the surrounding circumstances in which events occur in order to perceive the whole picture of the society in which the individual lives. Mills says to understand this "imagination" would be to see the connection between personal troubles and public issues. Personal troubles meaning, problems that are felt personally which are caused by occurrences or feelings in an individual's life; and public issues meaning, issues that affect a group or mass of people with their roots interwoven within an organization or institution and history of a society. A person can become homeless for many reasons: a family member throws them out of their home because they do not contribute financially, or they become incapable of caring for themselves due to mental illness, or they become addicted to drugs and lose their home trying to support their habit. These are a few examples of personal troubles which most would think are brought about by the individual alone and therefore can be solved by them. But, when using sociological imagination, one can see that homelessness is also a social problem. Unemployment rates are high and public assistances rates being low could leave a person unable to sufficiently contribute financially, therefore being forced to leave their home, or there are cutbacks in funds for housing...

...private lives are a series of traps. They sense that within their everyday worlds, they cannot overcome their troubles, and in this feeling, they are often quite correct. What ordinary people are directly aware of and what they try to do are bounded by the private orbits in which they live; their visions and their powers are limited to the close-up scenes of job, family, neighborhood; in other milieux, they move vicariously and remain spectators. And the more aware they become, however vaguely, of ambitions and of threats which transcend their immediate locales, the more trapped they seem to feel. Underlying this sense of being trapped are seemingly impersonal changes in the very structure of continent-wide societies. The facts of contemporary history are also facts about the success and the failure of individual men and women. When a society is industrialized, a peasant becomes a worker; a feudal lord is liquidated or becomes a businessman. When classes rise or fall, a person is employed or unemployed; when the rate of investment goes up or down, a person takes new heart or goes broke. When wars happen, an insurance salesperson becomes a rocket launcher; a store clerk, a radar operator; a wife or husband lives alone; a child grows up without a parent. Neither the life of an individual nor the history of a society can be understood without understanding both. Yet people do not usually define the troubles they endure in terms of historical change and institutional contradiction...

J.C.Burke uses descriptive language, dialogue, metaphors and idiomatic first person narration. Going into the World can be a difficult and a daunting time which everyone can find hard to overcome. Going into the world can be defined as growing up when you may or may not be ready. Individuals venturing into the world will experience obstacles but with maturity and relationships the individual can gain significant rewards. This is clearly shown in the two following texts.

...states that in order for a sociologist to properly study sociology, they need to have a certain mindset which according to Mills he calls the sociological imagination. He also goes on to discuss the distinction between personal troubles and public issues. In The Promise, Mills believes that people are trapped in their own private orbits. Private orbits according to Mills is your direct everyday living routine for example your job, family, neighborhood or school. He feels that individuals are so caught up in their orbits that they cannot view the world beyond their immediate and everyday surrounding. Any ambition or threat outside of their orbit that can affect or impact it, leaves the individual feeling more trapped. Mills states that you cannot understand the life of an individual or the history of society without fully understanding both and how they are connected. He also talks about how people do not see how history can have a direct impact on their lives and how it affects them, they do not see the connection that exists between the patterns in their life and the course of history. Mills strongly believes people need a certain state of mind to be able to use information to develop a logical way to make connections between what is going on in the world and what is happening to themselves. He calls this the sociological imagination. The sociological imagination according to Mills is...

Before fourth grade me and my family moved to a small town on the outskirts of a reservation little did I know that people at that school were a lot different then the people from my old school. The people who went to Mobridge Pollock upper elementary thought that my family was rich. In fourth grade I met this girl who soon became my best friend.

...Bad to the Bone Have you ever watched the news and seen all the bad things happening in the world? People sit there and wonder how people ended up so bad. You may ask yourself are people just born bad? No they are not the people in their lives are a big influence in their lives poverty is a problem because. If you have no money then you will do about anything to get by. Then the people you are around everyday is a huge impact on you because if you hangout with bad kids you are more likely to do bad and stupid things. Your parents are your biggest influence they set rules and give you responsibilities to give you stability and structure. So kids are not born bad. People in poverty are more likely to be criminals. If someone grows up in poverty he or she are going to find ways to get money, such as join gangs for money and protection. The most people are probably going to start robbing people because they are hurting for money. If a person was robbing people they might kill someone because there would be a struggle. So he or she would end up in jail and ruin their lives. If they go to prison they will have a hard time finding a job because, people do not want to work with murderers. So that is why people in poverty are more likely to be criminals....

...The launch of the computer had an enormous impact on American history, it was not only the computer that launched but also the internet which brought diverse ways for people to interact with one another. James Comey said, “Technology has forever changed the world we live in. We’re online, in one way or another, all day long. Our phones and computers have become reflections of our personalities, or interests, and our identities. They hold much that is important to us.” We can use technology to improve our lives by incredible amounts if we use it the right way. Technology has long enabled people to connect, yet many say it has also, driven people away from human contact. Forbes magazine published an article in 2007, called, “Can You Hear Me...

...Changing All great changes are preceded by chaos. A dynamic character is someone who changes; static characters stay the same. In middle school I was immature, in my transformation I became mature. Most people change from middle school to high school. You change by realizing things, maturing or just growing up. Well not for me, something happened that helped me transform into the person I am today. To begin with, if you knew my personality in middle school, it is nothing, as I am perceived today. I was immature and constantly got in trouble. I didn’t care what the teacher had to say and I would make it difficult for other students to learn. Lets just say I was more of a nuisance then a pleasure to have in class. I was always a bright student, some how managed to only get one B and the rest A’s through middle school. Considering I was rarely in class due to my comportment during class. The biggest immaturity part of middle school was how I got in trouble. It wasn’t as if I was selling drugs or anything terrible! I would get in trouble for doing immature actions as going to the bathroom for twenty minutes, not being in my seat and most importantly talking! Speaking out in class was the biggest issues for me as I was in middle school. See you might ask how did you get twenty-three referrals during eighth grade when you weren’t there for two months due to surgery. After every day seeing the most irritating kid you’ve ever come across you might realize how I got referrals for things...

...Rebel without a Cause Colors are everywhere in our world. In the world of Jim Stark in the movie Rebel without a Cause, colors provide insight into the feelings of the character, the tone of the scene, and insight into what will happen next. Feelings are all around us, emotions drive us, and we subconsciously express our emotions through things we do and say. In Rebel without a Cause, the director provides the viewer clues to let them know how characters are feeling. One color that is encountered is red. Jim wears a red coat when he goes to school the first day, as well as when he goes to meet the antagonist, Buzz, for a “chicken run”. This color can represent many things. One is Jim’s anxiety. He is starting in a new town, with new people, and a new school. He is anxious to fit in and find a place he is comfortable in. On the other hand, this could represent anger. He is angry at his parents for constantly moving around-forcing him to start over numerous times. He is also angry because his father is emasculated by his mother- forced to clean, and even wear an apron, in addition to his mother making all the decisions; in this time (of the 1950’s), the roles were reversed in social norms- women cleaned and men were in charge and made decisions for the household. Another reason for his anger might be that he was practically forced into dangerous activities to fit in, while he just wanted to stay peaceful and not cause trouble. In movies, setting the tone of a scene is important...
