Hard Times
Charles Dickens

1 'NOW, what I want is, Facts. Teach these boys and girls nothing but Facts. Facts alone are wanted in life. Plant nothing else, and root out everything else. You can only form the minds of reasoning animals upon Facts: nothing else will ever be of any service to them. This is the principle on which I bring up my own children, and this is the principle on which I bring up these children. Stick to Facts, sir!'

2 The scene was a plain, bare, monotonous vault of a school-room, and the speaker's square forefinger emphasized his observations by underscoring every sentence with a line on the schoolmaster's sleeve. The emphasis was helped by the speaker's square wall of a forehead, which had his eyebrows for its base, while his eyes found commodious cellarage in two dark caves, overshadowed by the wall. The emphasis was helped by the speaker's mouth, which was wide, thin, and hard set. The emphasis was helped by the speaker's voice, which was inflexible, dry, and dictatorial. The emphasis was helped by the speaker's hair, which bristled on the skirts of his bald head, a plantation of firs to keep the wind from its shining surface, all covered with knobs, like the crust of a plum pie, as if the head had scarcely warehouse-room for the hard facts stored inside. The speaker's obstinate carriage, square coat, square legs, square shoulders,-nay, his very neckcloth, trained to take him by the throat with an unaccommodating grasp, like a stubborn fact, as it was,-all helped the emphasis.

3 'In this life, we want nothing but Facts, sir; nothing but Facts!'

4 The speaker, and the schoolmaster, and the third grown person present, all backed a little, and swept with their eyes the inclined plane of little vessels then and there arranged in order, ready to have imperial gallons of facts poured into them until they were full to the brim.

Joan Didion’s 1967 essay, “Goodbye to All That,” recounts the author’s experiences as a young woman living in New York City.

Many kids want to have social media accounts, but adults worry that
social media access may lead to bullying or put kids into online
situations they don't know how to deal with. Do you think that there
should be an age limit for social media access? Prepare a presentation
to your local parenting group explaining why there should or should not
be an age limit for social media accounts.
Which claim most appropriately responds to the requirements of the prompt?
O A. There should be an age limit for social media accounts, because
nothing you do online can be totally erased, and young kids need
the freedom to experiment offline without creating a permanent
record.
B. There are good arguments on both sides of the debate about kids
and social media, and families and online communities need to
decide for themselves whether to restrict kids' access, allow kids
with supervision, or just let anyone join without checking their age.
C. The Internet can be a chaotic and challenging place, and most
kids do not yet have the maturity to know how to behave in ways
that keep them safe and avoid doing harm to others.
D. The question of age limits for social media services is a new one,
and adults in previous generations never had to decide whether
kids should be allowed to have active social lives online.
