From "The Tyranny of Things" by Elizabeth Morris

Once upon a time, when I was very tired, I chanced to go away to a little house by the sea. "It is empty," they said, "but you can easily furnish it." Empty! Yes, thank Heaven! Furnish it? Heaven forbid! Its floors were bare, its walls were bare, its tables there were only two in the house were bare. There was nothing in the closets but books; nothing in the bureau drawers but the smell of clean, fresh wood; nothing in the kitchen but an oil stove, and a few a very few dishes; nothing in the attic but rafters and sunshine, and a view of the sea. After I had been there an hour there descended upon me a great peace, a sense of freedom, of in finite leisure. In the twilight I sat before the flickering embers of the open fire, and looked out through the open door to the sea, and asked myself, "Why?" Then the answer came: I was emancipated from things. There was nothing in the house to demand care, to claim attention, to cumber my consciousness with its insistent, unchanging companionship. There was nothing but a shelter, and outside, the fields and marshes, the shore and the sea. These did not have to be taken down and put up and arranged and dusted and cared for. They were not things at all, they were powers, presences.

And so I rested. While the spell was still unbroken, I came away. For broken it would have been, I know, had I not fled first. Even in this refuge the enemy would have pursued me, found me out, encompassed me.

If we could but free ourselves once for all, how simple life might become! One of my friends, who, with six young children and only one servant, keeps a spotless house and a soul serene, told me once how she did it. "My dear, once a month I give away every single thing in the house that we do not imperatively need. It sounds wasteful, but I don’t believe it really is. Sometimes Jeremiah mourns over missing old clothes, or back numbers of the magazines, but I tell him if he doesn’t want to be mated to a gibbering maniac he will let me do as I like."

The old monks knew all this very well. One wonders sometimes how they got their power; but go up to Fiesole, and sit a while in one of those little, bare, white-walled cells, and you will begin to understand. If there were any spiritual force in one, it would have to come out there.

I have not their courage, and I win no such freedom. I allow myself to be overwhelmed by the invading host of things, making fitful resistance, but without any real steadiness of purpose. Yet never do I wholly give up the struggle, and in my heart, I cherish an ideal, remotely typified by that empty little house beside the sea.


Which of the following words from the excerpt identify what Morris values more than things?

Choose one answer from each group. Type the LETTER ONLY for each answer in the correct blank.

Type B, C, or D for Blank 1.

B. Resistance
C. Magazines
D. Freedom

Type E, F, or G for Blank 2.
E. Peace
F. Attention
G. Demand

Type H, I, or J for Blank 3.
H. Struggle
I. Embers
J. Leisure

The things Morris values the most are Freedom, Peace and Struggle.

This can be seen by reading the text above, where Morris says that the empty house by the sea promotes a great peace for her. Emptiness is pacifying in her life and this peace allows her to feel free and happy.

Peace and freedom are things she values above all things and that's why she shows how the monks and her friend are wise to be detached from material things.

However, she likes to live in the struggle that the accumulation of things promotes. At the end of the text, she says that she enjoys this fight and that's why she can't let go of everything.

In this case, we can say that freedom, peace and struggle are the things she values.

It is important to note that "The Tyranny of Things" is an essay written by Elisabeth Woodbridge Morris where she explores the dangers of consumerism that is so ingrained in our society.

1. Give me a brief summary and 2 two relations.
It is perfectly fine to take breaks in life since we never truly know when our life can come to an end. Experiencing life outside of our own box is something many people do not do because of working too much. A common saying that I have heard is "Money is the root of all evil" so how much are you willing to trade your time for money. Often people spend their peak primes working away and not enjoying their life until they retire. My Uncle is 75 now and retired early because he knew many people that received one social security check and passed away. He would rather get a smaller check than wait on the possibility of receiving one check. FIRE an acronym for Financially Independent Retiring Early is a method I will implement. This involves spending less money on stuff and saving it which allows you to invest your money. Over time you will make your money off assets allowing you to work less and give you more time. I am part of many people that spend too much on unnecessary things. On my fathers side of the family the life expectancy is short with my grandma passing away at 48 and my aunt recently passing away at 45 this year. So I believe that if I really want something then I should just buy it. For example I save enough money until I can comfortably buy the things I want and not have buyers remorse. I do not have expensive taste so the money I save comes from not buying expensive clothes or going to eat in fancy restaurants. I really liked the saying "save and invest, catch fire, become time rich." Time is all we have in this life and it's best to invest in time with yourself and family more than your time being invested only in money. It also goes along with the saying do not put your eggs in one basket or maybe do not put your time all in one place. Freedom to me is being free to pursue whatever you want in life with no restraints. I have never bought things to impress others but can see how that can become a problem. As Adam Baker said "The pursuit of these things we start to identify with our things" this is living life that is not yours so eventually you will break yourself down and be left only with these things that used to mean something to you but are of no real asset. With this ongoing people become more obsessed with their image than your financial, mental and physical health. Debt is used as a security blanket but can become something that will haunt and eventually hurt you later. Debt will create stress forcing you to work harder to pay it off. Ovoid the cycle of debt and live the life you are able to so eventually you can buy the things you want later in life. In the article I found that many people are not pursuing the American Dream in America anymore. They are moving to other countries that give twice the chance of getting financially comfortable when starting from the bottom. Often there's a saying in the US that states "The rich get richer while the poor get poorer". Many people, including myself, believe we have the right to seek higher education without having to go in debt for the next 15 to 20 years. There are other countries that provide this and free healthcare along with it. In the article they did a poll and 75% of people said that the American Dream is in danger of becoming extinct, the rest believe they are living the American Dream and others claim to be living it to an extent. Part of the 75% believe that the American Dream is not obtainable. Moving to another country can be very difficult and also you have no idea what you will get into. It could be worth a try but I believe that we can ask for help and try to adapt to every situation as best as we can and follow the FIRE acronym and sell our excess we can eventually be in a comfortable position in our life

And on a day we mBOT TO WHIK, UTO HIYO
And set the wall between us once again.
We keep the wall between us as we go.
To each the boulders that have fallen to each.
And some are loaves and some so nearly balls
We have to use a spell to make them balance:
"Stay where you are until our backs are turned!"
We wear our fingers rough with handling them.
Oh, just another kind of out-door game,
One on a side. It comes to little more:
There where it is we do not need the wall:
He is all pine and I am apple orchard.
What does the phrase "one on a side" mean?
The neighbor repairs his side of the wall while the speaker watches.
The speaker and the neighbor repair the wall from the same side.
The speaker repairs his side of the wall while the neighbor watches.
The speaker and the neighbor repair the wall from opposite sides.

Jason and his Uncle Roger had been hiking for almost an hour. Jason felt that it must be time to turn toward home, and was about to mention that when Uncle Roger asked him to sing as they marched along the trail. Uncle Roger said that it was to keep bears away. Jason started singing loudly. To his intense relief, they paused for lunch in a sunny meadow studded with wildflowers; he settled down to enjoy his sandwich and a few blessed minutes of motionlessness. All too soon his uncle shook his arm and informed him briskly that he needed to break out his poncho because a thunderstorm was moving in rapidly. Terrific, thought Jason. Uncle Roger hurried them across the open meadow to the safety of the woods, and it was there that Jason received his first piece of good news: they would be ending their hike early. Once they started back down the mountain, icy pellets of hail briefly assailed them, and then blinding sunlight dried Jason's jeans so that they were like cardboard. His day had been a mixture of boredom, fear, exhaustion, and discomfort, accented by a pair of painful blisters.

Q.1 Read the following excerpt from The Princess and the Goblin by George Macdonald. Then, answer the question that follows.


Perhaps you will wonder how the princess could tell that the old lady was an old lady, when I inform you that not only was she beautiful, but her skin was smooth and white. Her hair was combed back from her forehead and face, and hung loose far down and all over her back. That is not much like an old lady—is it? Ah! but it was white almost as snow. And although her face was so smooth, her eyes looked so wise that you could not have helped seeing she must be old. The princess, though she could not have told you why, did think her very old indeed—quite fifty, she said to herself.

Dark as it was, there was little danger now of choosing the wrong road.

By looking at the lamp and then dropping her eyes, she could see the road for a yard or two in front of her, and this saved her from several falls, for the road was very rough. But all at once, to her dismay, it vanished, and the terror of the beast, which had left her the moment she began to return, again laid hold of her heart. The same instant, however, she caught the light of the windows, and knew exactly where she was. It was too dark to run, but she made what haste she could, and reached the gate in safety.

Thank you

Telluride, Colorado is my favorite tourist destination for skiing, but it is difficult to get to by either plane or car because it is located high in
the San Juan Mountains. If you fly into Telluride Airport, expect a treacherous journey in a two-propeller plane with plenty of turbulence. If you ha
a weak stomach, beware! The plane dips and twists, rocks and rolls throughout the entire one hour and sixteen minute flight. Despite the difficult
journey, flying into Telluride Airport has its positives. The airport is only seven miles to downtown and, if you are adventure-minded, the views
traveling in are also excellent (I especially enjoy flying in between the mountains!). The other air travel option is to fly into Montrose Airport which
one and a half hours away from downtown. The plane ride is more comfortable, but the extra travel time is a turn-off to many visitors. Traveling t
Telluride by car will take you seven hours from Denver and six hours from Colorado Springs. You can expect these travel times to be much longer
during the winter season as you will be traveling up and over the San Juan Mountains; encountering snow and ice on the roads is not only possibl
but practically guaranteed.
