He's Biased against the government

The author says that the government rarely does anything good and it derives its power from the majority, not because they have a legitimate viewpoint, but just for the reason that the most powerful group. He says that people shouldn't blindly follow any law that is passed by the majority and should do what is right in their opinions. People should distance themselves from a government which is unjust.
The specific act Thoreau speaks against in the first paragraph is Mexican-American war. He says that it was the work of a few individuals who used the government as a tool, because if it was up to people, they wouldn't have approved such thing
"Witness the present Mexican war, the work of comparatively a few individuals using the standing government as their tool; for, in the outset, the people would not have consented to this measure"

"The secret of happiness is to see all the marvels of the world and never to forget the of oil on the spoon"
Worth 20 points.
Thank you!
Answer:
The message I get from this is that while there is much to be seen in the world, we must not lose sight of our primary responsibilities in life. For Santiago (according to the King of Salem), every person has a responsibility to pursue his or her Personal Legend. Nothing else can be as important. In doing so, all the things that are significant in life will eventually come to the person who stays focused anyway. When the boy in the story does not spill the oil, he has missed everything around him. If the boy is spilling the oil, he is losing sight of his original goal, losing focus because of the things he sees in the world as he moves about. Soon, his task of carrying the oil safely has been forgotten, and the oil gone—much like the loss of an exceptional opportunity when one is distracted from one's purpose.
The King of Salem is telling Santiago to see all that he can of the world. (This make sense, for how can Santiago follow omens or learn the Universal Language, etc., if he does not observe the world around him?) However, Melchizedek is also reminding Santiago not to be distracted by what he sees so much that he loses sight of his purpose in life: he must maintain a balance on his journey.

Students and Social Media
by R. Rodrigues
Humans have always made refinements to technologies to improve personal experience. They modify these technologies and add new features to make life simpler and easier. For example, the Internet is a great tool for sharing information and knowledge. The Internet has made the world a smaller place by connecting people and making communication easier and instant around the globe.
The invention of email has made communication easier, and the traditional method of sending letters has slowly been replaced. People have started using email to deliver messages because it is speedy and reliable. The invention of social networking sites has further simplified means of communication by helping people send messages and share their thoughts instantly with anyone across the globe. These sites also help individuals reconnect with people they have lost touch with. At the same time, improvements in technology have given rise to smartphone devices. The applications installed on these smartphone devices can now complete tasks like searching the web, accessing social media sites, and checking email in a matter of seconds.
The Internet and social media are wonderful tools when used for the right purposes. Some schools have started adopting social media sites as a tool to aid teachers in instruction. Social media can help students and teachers connect with each other. But it should be noted that integrating social media into studies can also lead to distractions. According to a study published in an online journal in 2016, 97% college students became distracted while using phones during class. Around 70% of these students used social media during class time. Most people would immediately assume that this distraction would negatively affect students' grades. However, the report does not show any direct relationship between the use of social media and the grades of students. Many research reports offer conflicting conclusions about how social media negatively affects students' grades.
No matter what research reports state, it is important that students and educators strike a balance between traditional methods of teaching and incorporating technology in studies. Social media has the power to educate minds, but it can also divert people's attention from important tasks.
How does the author develop the central idea that technology improves people's lives?
A.
by explaining how the use of email is so popular
B.
by explaining the best ways to use social media
C.
by describing how phones are used in classrooms
D.
by describing the various ways online tools are used
B:by explaining the best ways to use social media
Social media has the power to educate minds, but it can also divert people's attention from important tasks.
it is important that students and educators strike a balance between traditional methods

Which phrase uses the rhetorical device pathos?
Declaration of Independence
by Thomas Jefferson (adapted excerpt)
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, endowed with certain fundamental 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, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it. To institute a new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to most likely affect their safety and happiness. Prudence will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly, all experience hath shown, that mankind is more disposed to suffer, while injustices are suffer-able, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
The answer is that all men are created equal, endowed with certain fundamental rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

The repeated final sounds in the last three lines of each stanza provides a familiar cadence to the poem. The use of regular meter in the lines of the poem helps create suspense. The refrain, set off on a single line by itself at the end of each stanza, strengthens the emphasis of those words.
