from emma
by jane austen
emma woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and happy
disposition, seemed to unite some of the best blessings of existence; and had lived nearly
twenty-one years in the world with very little to distress or vex her.
she was the youngest of the two daughters of a most affectionate, indulgent father;
and had, in consequence of her sister's marriage, been mistress of his house from a very early
period. her mother had died too long ago for her to have more than an indistinct remembrance
of her caresses, and her place had been supplied by an excellent woman as governess, who
had fallen little short of a mother in affection.
sixteen years had miss taylor been in mr. woodhouse's family, less as a governess
than a friend, very fond of both daughters, but particularly of emma. between them it was more
the intimacy of sisters. even before miss taylor had ceased to hold the nominal office of
governess, the mildness of her temper had hardly allowed her to impose any restraint; and the
shadow of authority being now long passed away, they had been living together as friend and
friend very mutually attached, and emma doing just what she liked; highly esteeming miss
taylor's judgment, but directed chiefly by her own.
the real evils indeed of emma's situation were the power of having rather too much
her own way, and a disposition to think a little too well of herself; these were the disadvantages
which threatened alloy to her many enjoyments. the danger, however, was at present so
unperceived, that they did not by any means rank as misfortunes with her.
sorrow came—a gentle sorrow—but not at all in the shape of any disagreeable
consciousness.—miss taylor married. it was miss taylor's loss which first brought grief. it was
on the wedding-day of this beloved friend that emma first sat in mournful thought of any
continuance. the wedding over and the bride-people gone, her father and herself were left to
dine together, with no prospect of a third to cheer a long evening. her father composed himself
to sleep after dinner, as usual, and she had then only to sit and think of what she had lost.

What argument does thomas jefferson make in this excerpt from the declaration of independence? we hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.-that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, -that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. a. b. c. the american colonists desire a more peaceful alliance with great britain but their british counterparts do not. the american colonists have a right to seek freedom from great britain due to the continued oppression of their basic rights. the american colonies could form a better government than the one established by great britain to govern them. the king of britain and the members of british parliament have little interest in the welfare of the colonies. od. e. the american colonies should have sufficient representation in british parliament if america and great britain are to coexist peacefully.
