Lens Quotation: "Character is what you are in the dark." -Dwight Lyman Moody

Explanation:

I believe that Thomas Jefferson’s vision of America won. According to the text, it says “Jefferson advocated the power of state governments so much that when Jefferson walked about “country”, he was referring to Virginia, Gutzman says.” This shows that Thomas Jefferson’s vision of America won. Thomas Jefferson thought that to have a republican society it had to be highly decentralized. On February 17, 1801, Thomas Jefferson was elected president of the United States, but there was no more to it than beating his opponent. He viewed European societies, especially Great Britain, as corrupt, controlled by moneyed interests and afflicted with the problems that he saw as endemic in urban settings. Thomas Jefferson’s vision for the United States was that it would become an agrarian nation, composed of white yeoman farmers who owned their own lands. Thomas Jefferson won the support of Congress and became the third president of the United States.

I chose the article because it made me feel curious and wanted to learn more about how Thomas Jefferson did all of these things. This article was interesting to me because Thomas Jefferson did a lot of things like having a speech and being the third president of the United States. I feel like I’ve learned a lot of things in life that people accomplished and worked hard to do it. It didn’t change my opinion but it still made me curious about how Thomas Jefferson did all of this. I would change the situation by not giving up.

I made a connection that Thomas Jeffer is one of the people that lives in America like me and many people live here so it can be a national level for us and there is a connection that I live in America because of that. The information I learned about affects people on a local level that some history people got into a war and elections who is going to be the president.

There are many books in which I could pull from, but the best example would be The Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien. Tolkien throws the reader into a mystical world set in Middle Earth. We are introduced with a Hobbit who enjoys a quaint simple life. Like many Hobbits, Bilbo Baggins does not like adventures, as it is not in their "nature." But Gandalf comes by to prove otherwise. During the novel, Bilbo is recruited by Gandalf to help a pack of Dwarves reclaim their lost home. When Bilbo accepted this journey, we are already seeing Bilbo's true colors coming through. Bilbo scurries along to meet the rest of his party as the entirety of Bag End shuns him. A great example of Bilbo's character in the dark is when he is literally in the dark. His quick thoughts are what saves him from being Gollum's next meal when he falls into his cave. Bilbo saved his own life that day because of his witty puzzles and quick actions against Gollum. At heart, Bilbo is an adventurer, just like the Took side of his family. With the help of a couple of new friends, Bilbo was able to show his "true character in the dark" to the world.

- "the answers are a and b.  

when cullen speaks of planting while others reap, and standing "abject and mute," he is speaking about the racial injustices present in american society. as these injustices have changed over time, the american identity  has also shifted. those changes are, in turn, reflected in american literature."
