Phillis Wheatley was the first African-American woman to publish a book of poetry in America, and she did so while enslaved by John and Susannah Wheatley. During her time of enslavement, Wheatley was converted to Christianity, and many of her poems deal with Christian themes. One such poem, "On Being Brought from Africa to America" discusses Wheatley's faith as well as her thoughts on slavery. Though the poem, at first glance, appears to show a sincere, even grateful Wheatley discussing her faith and the "mercy" that brought her from Africa to America, a closer look reveals a more rebellious tone beneath.

Prompt:

After reading "On Being Brought from Africa to America," respond to the following question(s) with AT LEAST 150 words:

Through her poem, how does Wheatley rebel against the prevailing notion at the time that black, enslaved Americans were inferior to their white counterparts? In other words, how does she prove that this racist stereotype is false?

Read this excerpt from a passage.

The cell phone has become a handheld computer—an integral part of day-to-day technology. The question, therefore, inevitably arises: Is it appropriate for students to use cell phones in schools? Some schools have adopted policies to ban cell phone use in the classroom, but are these initiatives reasonable? Although they have limitations, cell phones can be used to ensure student safety, help with job skill preparation, and aid in classroom instruction. . .

As students enroll in college and enter the workforce, cell phones will continue to be important. While some educators think that cell phones are a distraction, cell phones should be seen instead as tools that improve student safety, employability, and learning. Rather than arbitrarily banning cell phones, school administrators should work on developing technology guidelines and lesson plans that include cell phone use in the classroom. New policies for the twenty-first century will benefit students, teachers, and society.

When my sisters and I cared too much about our appearance, my mother would tell us how Trujillo's vanity knew no bounds. How in order to appear taller, his shoes were specially made abroad with built-in heels that added inches to his height. How plumes for his Napoleonic hats were purchased in Paris and shipped in vacuum-packed boxes to the Island. How his uniforms were trimmed with tassels and gold epaulettes and red sashes, pinned with his medals, crisscrossing his chest. How he costumed himself in dress uniforms and ceremonial hats and white gloves—all of this in a tropical country where men wore guayaberas in lieu of suit jackets, short-sleeved shirts worn untucked so the body could be ventilated. My mother could go on and on.

Read the following excerpt from Levitt and Dubner’s Freakonomics.

There is a tale, “The Ring of Gyges,” that Feldman sometimes tells his economist friends. It comes from Plato’s Republic. A student named Glaucon offered the story in response to a lesson by Socrates—who, like Adam Smith, argued that people are generally good even without enforcement. Glaucon, like Feldman’s economist friends, disagreed. He told of a shepherd named Gyges who stumbled upon a secret cavern with a corpse inside that wore a ring. When Gyges put on the ring, he found that it made him invisible. With no one able to monitor his behavior, Gyges proceeded to do woeful things—seduce the queen, murder the king, and so on. Glaucon’s story posed a moral question: could any man resist the temptation of evil if he knew his acts could not be witnessed? Glaucon seemed to think the answer was no. But Paul Feldman sides with Socrates and Adam Smith—for he knows the answer, at least 87 percent of the time, is yes.

Feldman reaches the conclusion that most people are honest without receiving an incentive by
making a claim about his individual experiences and looking for evidence.
making a broad generalization about morality and looking for evidence.
studying his individual experiences and arriving at a broad generalization.
studying a counterclaim about morality and arriving at a broad generalization.
