Winters in the Country
by A. Gautam
Sixteen pigeons
in our front yard
made our tree house
a happy place.

I watched the white feathers
leave a trail of cold wind,
as they flew by my face—
mesmerized in the balcony.
They would flap their wings
and descend to the big bowl
for a bath
precisely at noon—
when the water warmed up.

They wobbled around
the edge of the shiny bowl,
fluttered, slipped, and flew.
I watched their heads
move
back and forth,
slightly to the side.

Their bellies hugged
the cement floor.
They snuck the grains
I spread out for them—
faster than the blink of an eye.

Sometimes I hear them
cooing in my city dreams.
Countless pigeons in my city
fly over me.
I don't have time
to watch
their falling feathers.

classic dystopian novels.

time to re-introduce yourself to the novel — or to read it for the first time.

It is no security to wicked men for one moment, that there are no visible means of death at hand. "Tis no

security to a natural man, that he is now in health, and that he don't see which way he should now

immediately go out of the world by any accident, and that there is no visible danger in any respect in his

circumstances.

The reference to "security suggests that

humans are uncertain of their fate

Write a brief statement the demonstrates a credibility appeal.

from “Labour”
by Thomas Carlyle

The latest Gospel in this world is, Know thy work and do it. “Know thyself”: long enough has that poor “self” of thine tormented thee; thou wilt never get to “know” it, I believe! Think it not thy business, this of knowing thyself; thou art an unknowable individual: know what thou canst work at; and work at it, like a Hercules! That will be thy better plan.

It has been written, “an endless significance lies in Work”; a man perfects himself by working. Foul jungles are cleared away, fair seedfields rise instead, and stately cities; and withal the man himself first ceases to be a jungle and foul unwholesome desert thereby. Consider how, even in the meanest sorts of Labour, the whole soul of a man is composed into a kind of real harmony, the instant he sets himself to work! Doubt, Desire, Sorrow, Remorse, Indignation, Despair itself, all these like helldogs lie beleaguering the soul of the poor dayworker, as of every man: but he bends himself with free valour against his task, and all these are stilled, all these shrink murmuring far off into their caves. The man is now a man. The blessed glow of Labour in him, is it not as purifying fire, wherein all poison is burnt up, and of sour smoke itself there is made bright blessed flame!

Destiny, on the whole, has no other way of cultivating us. A formless Chaos, once set it revolving, grows round and ever rounder; ranges itself, by mere force of gravity, into strata, spherical courses; is no longer a Chaos, but a round compacted World. What would become of the Earth, did she cease to revolve? In the poor old Earth, so long as she revolves, all inequalities, irregularities disperse themselves; all irregularities are incessantly becoming regular. Hast thou looked on the Potter’s wheel,—one of the venerablest objects; old as the Prophet Ezechiel and far older? Rude lumps of clay, how they spin themselves up, by mere quick whirling, into beautiful circular dishes. And fancy the most assiduous Potter, but without his wheel; reduced to make dishes, or rather amorphous botches, by mere kneading and baking! Even such a Potter were Destiny, with a human soul that would rest and lie at ease, that would not work and spin! Of an idle unrevolving man the kindest Destiny, like the most assiduous Potter without wheel, can bake and knead nothing other than a botch; let her spend on him what expensive colouring, what gilding and enamelling she will, he is but a botch. Not a dish; no, a bulging, kneaded, crooked, shambling, squint-cornered, amorphous botch,—a mere enamelled vessel of dishonour! Let the idle think of this.

I. doubt
II. despair
III. indigation
A.
I only
B.
II only
C.
