Which quotation from The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind would be most relevant for Stephon to include in
his notes to support the idea that William is courageous ?

Stephon is writing an essay that compares and
contrasts the way in which characters from two different
texts face obstacles in their lives. The two characters he
is comparing and contrasting are Manjiro from Heart of a
Samurai and William, the narrator of The Boy Who
Harnessed the Wind. One similarity he notes is that
Manjiro and William are both courageous.
The preparation was complete, so I waited. The
muscles in my arms still burned from having worked
so hard, but now I was finished.
O They spun slowly at first, then faster and faster, until
the force of their motion rocked the tower. My knees
buckled, but I held on
o I started wasting time in the trading center playing
bawo. Someone also taught me a wonderful game
called chess, which I started playing every day.
No more skipping breakfast; no more dropping out of
school. With a windmill, we'd finally release ourselves
from the troubles of darkness and hunger.

Which two parts of this excerpt from mary shelley’s frankenstein reveals information about the setting? (it was on a dreary night of november that i beheld the accomplishment of my toils.) with an anxiety that almost amounted to agony, (i collected the instruments of life around me, that i might infuse a spark of being into the lifeless thing that lay at my feet. it was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out) when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, i saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs. (how can i describe my emotions at this catastrophe), or how delineate the wretch whom with such infinite pains and care i had endeavored to form? his limbs were in proportion, and i had selected his features as beautiful. beautiful! great god! (his yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath; his hair was of a lustrous black, and flowing; his teeth of a pearly whiteness; ) but these luxuriances only formed a more horrid contrast with his watery eyes, that seemed almost of the same color as the dun-white sockets in which they were set, his shriveled complexion and straight black lips.

Read this paragraph from chapter 5 of the prince. there are, for example, the spartans and the romans. the spartans held athens and thebes, establishing there an oligarchy: nevertheless they lost them. the romans, in order to hold capua, carthage, and numantia, dismantled them, and did not lose them. they wished to hold greece as the spartans held it, making it free and permitting its laws, and did not succeed. so to hold it they were compelled to dismantle many cities in the country, for in truth there is no safe way to retain them otherwise than by ruining them. and he who becomes master of a city accustomed to freedom and does not destroy it, may expect to be destroyed by it, for in rebellion it has always the watchword of liberty and its ancient privileges as a rallying point, which neither time nor benefits will ever cause it to forget. and whatever you may do or provide against, they never forget that name or their privileges unless they are disunited or dispersed, but at every chance they immediately rally to them, as pisa after the hundred years she had been held in bondage by the florentines. what idea is stressed in the passage? the desire for liberty the establishment of an oligarchy the dismantling of an acquired state the tendency toward rebellion
