Read the following excerpt from Levitt and Dubner’s Freakonomics.

There is a tale, “The Ring of Gyges,” that Feldman sometimes tells his economist friends. It comes from Plato’s Republic. A student named Glaucon offered the story in response to a lesson by Socrates—who, like Adam Smith, argued that people are generally good even without enforcement. Glaucon, like Feldman’s economist friends, disagreed. He told of a shepherd named Gyges who stumbled upon a secret cavern with a corpse inside that wore a ring. When Gyges put on the ring, he found that it made him invisible. With no one able to monitor his behavior, Gyges proceeded to do woeful things—seduce the queen, murder the king, and so on. Glaucon’s story posed a moral question: could any man resist the temptation of evil if he knew his acts could not be witnessed? Glaucon seemed to think the answer was no. But Paul Feldman sides with Socrates and Adam Smith—for he knows the answer, at least 87 percent of the time, is yes.

Feldman reaches the conclusion that most people are honest without receiving an incentive by
making a claim about his individual experiences and looking for evidence.
making a broad generalization about morality and looking for evidence.
studying his individual experiences and arriving at a broad generalization.
studying a counterclaim about morality and arriving at a broad generalization.

Which themes are portrayed in this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich?


Praskovya Fedorovna came of a good family, was not bad looking, and had some little property. Ivan Ilyich might have aspired to a more brilliant match, but even this was good. He had his salary, and she, he hoped, would have an equal income. She was well connected, and was a sweet, pretty, and thoroughly correct young woman. To say that Ivan Ilyich married because he fell in love with Praskovya Fedorovna and found that she sympathized with his views of life would be as incorrect as to say that he married because his social circle approved of the match. He was swayed by both these considerations: the marriage gave him personal satisfaction, and at the same time it was considered the right thing by the most highly placed of his associates.


1 So Ivan Ilyich got married.


2 conforming to social conventions

3 criticism of a middle class lifestyle

4 the destructive impact of loneliness

5 struggling to face reality

6 the necessity of companionship

Read the Greek myth "Midas" retold by Thomas Bulfinch and answer the question.

[1] Bacchus, on a certain occasion, found his old schoolmaster and foster-father, Silenus, missing. The old man had been drinking, and in that state wandered away, and was found by some peasants, who carried him to their king, Midas. Midas recognized him, and treated him hospitably, entertaining him for ten days and nights with an unceasing round of jollity.

[2] On the eleventh day he brought Silenus back, and restored him in safety to his pupil. Whereupon Bacchus offered Midas his choice of a reward, whatever he might wish. He asked that whatever he might touch should be changed into gold. Bacchus consented, though sorry that he had not made a better choice.

[3] Midas went his way, rejoicing in his new-acquired power, which he hastened to put to the test. He could scarce believe his eyes when he found a twig of an oak, which he plucked from the branch, become gold in his hand. He took up a stone; it changed to gold. He touched a sod; it did the same. He took up an apple from the tree; you would have thought he had robbed the garden of the Hesperides. His joy knew no bounds, and as soon as he got home, he ordered the servants to set a splendid repast on the table. Then he found to his dismay that whether he touched bread, it hardened in his hand; or put a morsel to his lip, it defied his teeth. He took a glass of wine, but it flowed down his throat like melted gold.

[4] In consternation at the unprecedented affliction, he strove to divest himself of his power; he hated the gift he had lately coveted. But all in vain; starvation seemed to await him. He raised his arms, all shining with gold, in prayer to Bacchus, begging to be delivered from his glittering destruction. Bacchus, merciful deity, heard and consented. "Go," said he, "to River Pactolus, trace its fountain-head, there plunge yourself and body in, and wash away your fault and its punishment." He did so, and scarce had he touched the waters before the gold-creating power passed into them, and the river sands became changed into gold, as they remain to this day.

Select two key details that could be included in a summary of the myth.

a Bacchus sent Midas to the river to wash away his golden touch.
b Bacchus sometimes found his teacher Silenus missing.
c Midas could not eat because of the wish Bacchus granted.
d Midas entertained Silenus in his kingdom for ten days.
e Silenus was found by peasants and carried to Midas.

Phillis Wheatley was the first African-American woman to publish a book of poetry in America, and she did so while enslaved by John and Susannah Wheatley. During her time of enslavement, Wheatley was converted to Christianity, and many of her poems deal with Christian themes. One such poem, "On Being Brought from Africa to America" discusses Wheatley's faith as well as her thoughts on slavery. Though the poem, at first glance, appears to show a sincere, even grateful Wheatley discussing her faith and the "mercy" that brought her from Africa to America, a closer look reveals a more rebellious tone beneath.

Prompt:

After reading "On Being Brought from Africa to America," respond to the following question(s) with AT LEAST 150 words:

Through her poem, how does Wheatley rebel against the prevailing notion at the time that black, enslaved Americans were inferior to their white counterparts? In other words, how does she prove that this racist stereotype is false?
