This essay is a response to a prompt that asked students to argue the extent that Oscar Wilde's quote, Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is man's
original virtue. It is through disobedience that progress has been made, through disobedience and rebellion' is true
(1) Oscar Wilde once observed, "Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is man's original virtue. It is through disobedience that progress has been made,
through disobedience and through rebellion. Looking back on history, there is clearly truth to Wilde's assertion
(2) The earliest example of American disobedience is the rebellion over the Stamp Act. The American people were furious with the British for enacting the Stamp Act, the first
direct tax on the colonies after a period of neglect. The colonists revolted, declaring, 'No taxation without representation and got the Stamp Act repealed. However it was only
with disobedience on the part of the colonists that the British decided to repeal the Stamp Act. Otherwise, it would have set a precedent for the British to continue directly
taxing the colonists. Eventually the colonists were fed up with being colonies and launched their next act of disobedience-the American Revolution
(3) Years later, Henry David Thoreau, a prominent transcendentalist writer, crafted an entire essay on the values of civil disobedience, and those opinions can be seen
throughout the 20th century. His ideas led to the most pivotal historical changes, however, in the Civil Rights Movement. Leading figures such as Martin Luther King, Jr. and
Rosa Parks urged African Americans to spark social and political change through acts of civil disobedience. They staged sit-ins, marches, and peaceful protests, all in the
hopes of obtaining the civil rights they deserved. Their success is clear in the many social and legislative changes that followed the Civil Rights Movement, one of the most
notable being the Civil Rights Act of 1964. I learned about all of this and more during my 5th grade field trip to the Civil Rights Museum, where I purchased a t-shirt with the
quote: "Well-behaved women seldom make history."
(4) Today we still see evidence of civil disobedience sparking progress and change. In recent elections, we've seen candidates on both the Democratic and Republican sides
promote new ideas, many of them very anti-establishment. We've also seen citizens stage their own forms of disobedience to effect change and promote new ideas. These
examples reveal that "rebellion can, in fact, lead to profound change.
(5) Oscar Wilde's idea that disobedience is what drives progress is clearly an accurate one. Disobedience has led to people questioning society, causing historical change, and
thinking of progressive ideas. After all, "We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams."
The student is working on a new version of the essay and wants to include an explicit statement of the essay's thesis.
Which of the following would best serve as the thesis statement for the essay?
Disobedience also promotes progressive thought and political progress; this is evident in our current elections today.
Disobedience challenges established systems and societal norms; without it, we would never progress as a whole.
Disobedience has been responsible for much of the change in our country, including our own fight for independence from Britain
Disobedience is clearly what drives the essential change of society, as illustrated through examples such as the Civil Rights movement.

Write a short response detailing which daily task you chose, and the high level and low level instructions to complete that task.

Abstraction is the process of removing or suppressing details to create a manageable level of complexity. Another way of thinking of abstraction is to think of it as using one word, phrase, or command that encompasses many smaller items, details, or commands. Through abstraction, high level programming languages allow us to use words or abbreviations that humans understand (like "step," "turn," and "FWD") in our programs. These instructions are compiled, or translated, into low level instructions which tell each tiny, individual circuit whether to turn off or on. This is similar to the way our brain can allow us to hear or see an instruction like "pick up a book" and understand it, but our muscles need to have more specific instructions from our brain to carry them out. Choose a simple daily task, such as “walk to the door” or “put on your socks”, and write high-level and low-level instructions to perform the task in English. We are establishing the standard for a low level instruction as contracting, flexing, or releasing a muscle. If you need help getting to a low level instruction, try asking yourself the question, "How do I do that?" For this exercise, one high-level instruction for "walk to the door" would simply be "take a step." A set of low-level instructions for the same high-level instruction would be "flex your thigh muscle" --> "lift your foot" --> "place your foot in front of you on the ground."
