Where art thou, Muse, that thou forget'st so long
To speak of that which gives thee all thy might?
Spend'st thou thy fury on some worthless song,
Darkening thy power to lend base subjects light?
Return, forgetful Muse, and straight redeem
In gentle numbers time so idly spent;
Sing to the ear that doth thy lays esteem
And gives thy pen both skill and argument.
Rise, restive Muse, my love's sweet face survey,
If Time have any wrinkle graven there;
If any, be a satire to decay,
And make Time's spoils despised every where.
Give my love fame faster than Time wastes life;
So thou prevent'st his scythe and crooked knife.
—“Sonnet 100,”
William Shakespeare

The United States, with all their vast territory, are filling
up; and even now we hear of tens of thousands of
emigrants leaving the United States in order to take up
the fresh and rich lands of our colony in Canada. It seems
to me not at all an impossible assumption that before the
end of this present century we may find our fellow
subjects beyond the seas as numerous as we are at home.
I want you to look forward. I want you to consider the
infinite importance of this not only to yourselves but to
your descendants. Now is the time when you can exert
influence. Do you wish that if these ten millions become
forty millions they shall still be closely, intimately,
affectionately united to you, or do you contemplate the
possibility of their being separated, going off each in his
own direction, under a separate flag? Think what it

Question 1 (100 points)
Using the passage from Fahrenheit 451:
"It was a pleasure to burn.
It was a special pleasure to see things eaten, to see things blackened and changed. With the brass nozzle in his fists, with this
great python spitting its venomous kerosene upon the world, the blood pounded in his head, and his hands were the hands of
some amazing conductor playing all the symphonies of blazing and burning to bring down the tatters and charcoal ruins of
history. With his symbolic helmet numbered 451 on his stolid head, and his eyes all orange flame with the thought of what came
next, he flicked the igniter and the house jumped up in a gorging fire that burned the evening sky red and yellow and black. He
strode in a swarm of fireflies. He wanted above all, like the old joke, to shove a marshmallow on a stick in the furnace, while the
flapping pigeon-winged books died on the porch and lawn of the house. While the books went up in sparkling whirls and blew
away on a wind turned dark with burning.
Montag grinned the fierce grin of all men singed and driven back by flame."
