How Many People Does Milton Say Actually Know How To Make A Pencil

There are people all over the world that work hard not to waste scarce resources. The producers produce the things that people want in life, as said by Professor Kendall. During the process of the pencil being created there are many components that must come together. There has to be someone that is locating

From the book “The Giver”, I have noticed an important message that the author wanted to tell us – The importance of freedom.

In this chapter, Wheelan shares two lessons about the role of government in the economy. These are: First, he states that "the government must not be the sole provider of a good or service unless there is a compelling reason to believe that the private sector will fail in that role." He expounds further that the government will be freer to take care of things that need to be really handled by the government. There are things that the government should not be doing because when it dips its hands on that, it will presumably be inefficient. He cites the example of postal mail. He posits that the technology today has radically changed and things need to be implemented differently. The second point is that even if the government has an important role to play in the economy, it need not be the actual one to do the work (p 66).

Freedom has been a battleground fought over for centuries by groups seeking their acceptance into society. Frederick Douglass, an American slave during the 1800s, is one of the first slaves to seek his freedom during this time and goes on to explain how within his novel The Narrative of Frederick Douglass. The idea of freedom, in Douglass’s eyes, changes drastically throughout his story as a slave. He first makes the connection of inequality as a young boy which sets into action a course of events for Douglass to discover what freedom truly is. Throughout Douglass’s slave life, freedom is there to usher him to the right path, ultimately showing that freedom meant to have the ability to think freely, to possess an education, and above all to be human; for a slave to be viewed in the same way whites viewed themselves.

“Timber!” yelled a worker as he cut down yet another tree. Everyday hundreds of workers went into the woods and cut down hundreds of trees before shipping them off to sorting yards and mills. Some of the first explorers and fur traders to come to the Pacific Northwest had noticed the extremely large amounts of timber found in the region, and the lumber industry launched when the California Gold Rush created a demand for Northwest wood products. Soon after that, eight out of every ten dollars invested in manufacturing Washington’s territory went to the timber industry between 1860 and 1880. As a result of railroads, increases in mining, and a need for jobs, the lumber industry became very important to the Pacific Northwest.

When John came to me, I saw him as hopeless because of how he carried and conducted himself. I saw his deficiencies and ignore his potentialities. “The Woodcarver” found the hidden potential in the tree and with all his tools in hand was able to create a grand masterpiece that had everyone astonished. We cannot prejudge but we should think of the resources available and how we are going to make these precious woods into bell stands, grand masterpieces ready for society.

2) By buying lumber cut to length he would have cut production time, waste, labor and costs related with tooling. Less space would have been required. It is also likely that the quality of the material

Finally, Myers uses a metaphor/personification to show how freedom doesn’t come by that easily. For instance, "If you born with freedom in your mouth, you got to satisfy it" (Myers #). The word freedom is a very power throughout the book, it shows how the generations of the Lewis's fought to be free but could never make it there. The author compares how freedom is related to food because when you eat food, you always satisfy

As human beings, we strive for freedom, and as we see in both our world and the one in the story, no one is truly free. “They know that they, like the child, are not free,” writes the narrator, showing the reader that although the citizens apparently live “free” in a perfect society, inside their souls, they are not free. There are no slaves in this utopia, as described by the narrator, but in actuality, the child’s freedom is taken from it, similar to slavery.

5. “illusion of freedom “ – he has no idea of what freedom is as he never had any of it.

8. Name some sentences/quotes within the text the could be considered important to meaning/moral of the story.

     By centering on his own personal story, Douglass is able to capture the attention of his audience. With a more detailed description of events taking place, the reader is trapped into that time period, being able to live out the experience with Douglass. Frederick Douglass’ quest for freedom almost becomes a quest for the reader as well. The tone set during this section of the narrative shows Douglass to be much more in charge than he was as a child. A confident slave, Douglass anticipates his freedom, yet also creating a freedom for himself while still enslaved.

With detailed reference to the novel, how do you view this in relation to individual freedom?

To begin, forest based industrialization is based on forest resources that are used to stimulate economic growth and development. One of the products that have been most important to human economies has always been wood. Wood is durable, light weight, easily worked, waterproof, and a good fiber source. Wood is used in almost every aspect of our lives, for building materials, living, and just surviving. We need wood to build our homes to live in and buildings in which we work and spend the other resource that comes from trees “money”. Studies show that 70% of the products that we use a day are made of some kind of wood. If we were to look around our homes and count all the items that are made of wood we would probably find that 60 percent are made of wood. Without wood humans and other species would never be able to survive.
