Read the passage from i know why the caged bird sings:
in those tender mornings the store was full of laughing, joking, boasting and bragging. one man was going to pick two hundred pounds of cotton, and another three hundred. even the children were promising to bring home fo’ bits and six bits.
the champion picker of the day before was the hero of the dawn. if he prophesied that the cotton in today’s field was going to be sparse and stick to the bolls like glue, every listener would grunt a hearty agreement.
the sound of the empty cotton sacks dragging over the floor and the murmurs of waking people were sliced by the cash register as we rang up the five-cent sales.
if the morning sounds and smells were touched with the supernatural, the late afternoon had all the features of the normal arkansas life. in the dying sunlight the people dragged, rather than their empty cotton sacks.
brought back to the store, the pickers would step out of the backs of trucks and fold down, dirt-disappointed, to the ground. no matter how much they had picked, it wasn’t enough. their wages wouldn’t even get them out of debt to my grandmother, not to mention the staggering bill that waited on them at the white commissary downtown….

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
