Read this passage from Dragonwings by Laurence Yep.
During those trips alone among the demons, Father and
I learned things about one another, and more, we learned
about being a father and a son. Every trip was an
adventure into a strange, fearful city and yet I felt safe by
my father's side. Anyone who could laugh and tell stories
and jokes and sing while he was alone among the demons
must know what he was doing. In my own mind, Father
was the embodiment of Uncle's superior man
Only once during all those trips did we have any trouble.
Some demon boys were out in the street. They stooped as
if to pick up things to throw, and Father whispered to me to
sit up straight and not show I was afraid. The demon boys
called out some things, but we ignored them until we had
passed them by. A rock whizzed by my ear and hit Red
Rabbit in the side. He snorted, but plodded on as steadily
as before.

"i can see you're good to go,” tablin observed as keyn struggled to clear his throat. “go get your horse yourself before i take the job and leave you to rot in the flowing barrel."

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
