Background: Imagine you are a supreme court justice and you are listening to 2 closing arguments written by 2 lawyers on opposing sides. One lawyer is for the Patriot Act, while the other argues that it is a threat to American civil liberties.

Directions:

Read and annotate both articles. Choose a side, then construct an argument for or against the patriot act. Be sure to include claims, counterclaims, and rebuttals. You can also watch the movie "Snowden" and include examples from it that are in favor of or against the Patriot Act. You must cite evidence from the text to support your argument, and be sure to provide detailed analysis for each quote you use (showing how well you understand what you read and how it connects to your claim).

(is it any wonder that ever since then, sleep tends to elude me? ) so that was where we were going. a little farther on, there was another, larger pit for adults. what is the conflict portrayed in this excerpt from elie wiesel’s night? select all that apply. the external conflict between the nazis and the jews the external conflict between the nazis and the allies the external conflict between wiesel and the inmate the internal conflict between wiesel’s memory of the burning bodies and his desire for peaceful sleep
