Read the passage from The History of the Peloponnesian War by Thucydides. There, far from exercising a jealous surveillance over each other, we do not feel called upon to be angry with our neighbour for doing what he likes, or even to indulge in those injurious looks which cannot fail to be offensive, although they inflict no positive penalty. But all this ease in our private relations does not make us lawless as citizens. Against this fear is our chief safeguard, teaching us to obey the magistrates and the laws, particularly such as regard the protection of the injured, whether they are actually on the statute book, or belong to that code which, although unwritten, yet cannot be broken without acknowledged disgrace.

–The History of the Peloponnesian War, Thucydides

Why does Thucydides say that Greeks citizens are not lawless?

-Greeks give one another “injurious looks” to enforce laws.
-Greeks rely on a code of written laws and unwritten laws to not be broken.
-Greek citizens spy on one another, making it hard for them to break the law.
-Greeks behave similarly, so there is no reason to be concerned that someone will break the law.

The world is too much with us; late and soon, getting and spending, we lay waste our powers: little we see in nature that is ours; we have given our hearts away, a sordid boon! the sea that bares her bosom to the moon; the winds that will be howling at all hours, and are up-gathered now like sleeping flowers; for this, for everything, we are out of tune; it moves us not—great god! i'd rather be a pagan suckled in a creed outworn; so might i, standing on this pleasant lea1, have glimpses that would make me less forlorn; have sight of proteus rising from the sea; or hear old triton blow his wreathed horn. 1lea: a grassland what phrases in this poem make elements of nature seem big and powerful, or sweet and beautiful? second part: the changes of the industrial age, including those leading to the agricultural revolution, still affect people’s lives. choose a modern song or a television show that idealizes rural life or compares rural life to urban life. how does this song or television show describe city life and the countryside? cite evidence from the performance to support your answer.
