which statement from the passage best supports the idea that Penrod does not want to be in the children's play?
excerpt from Penrod
by Booth Tarkington
A bitter soul dominated the various curved and angular surfaces known by a careless world as the face of Penrod Schoneld. Except in solitude,
that face was almost always cryptic and emotionless; for Penrod had come into his twelfth year wearing an expression carefully trained to be
Inscrutable. Since the world was sure to misunderstand everything, mere defensive instinct prompted him to give it as little as possible to lay
hold upon. Nothing is more impenetrable than the face of a boy who has learned this, and Penrod was habitually as fathomless as the depth of
his hatred this morning for the literary activities of Mrs. Lora Rewbush-an almost universally respected fellow citizen, a lady of charitable and
poetic inclinations, and one of his own mother's most intimate friends.
Mrs. Laura Rewbush had written something which she called "The Children's Pageant of the Table Round, and it was to be performed in public
that very afternoon at the Women's Arts and Guild Hall. And if any flavor of sweetness remained in the nature of Penrod Schofield after the
dismal trials of the school week just past, that problematic, Infinitesimal remnant was made pungent acid by the imminence of his destiny to
form a prominent feature of this spectacle, and to declaim the loathsome sentiments of character named upon the program the Child Sir
Lancelot

Why doesn’t Mr. Woodifield want to leave the boss’s office?
Answer:
The boss is Mr. Woodifield’s friend and the main character in this short story. He is described as “stout, rosy and five years older than Mr. Woodifield." Even though he is older than his friend, the boss is stronger and still working at his own business. He is also wealthier than his friend as he is able to redo his office with enviable fittings: a carpet, new furniture, and electric heating. He has lost his only son to the war, an event that has devastated him, so much so that he has since kept a photograph of the boy on his office table. In spite of his strength, he has compassion within him, for he offers some whiskey to Mr. Woodifield to warm him up. Also, he sets time aside to talk to Mr. Woodifield, even walking him to the door at the end of the visit. Through the boss’s character, we are able to understand the healing power of time. In the first years following his son’s death, the mere thought of his son had brought immense grief “that nothing short of a violent fit of weeping could relieve him." Six years on, and the boss is better able to face his son’s demise, even though he still grieves him.
According to the boss, Mr. Woodifield is “old and on his last pins." Woodifield is retired and has recently suffered a stroke, following which his family keeps him indoors, except for Tuesdays of every week when they let him go to the city. He has lost a son (Reggie) to the war, just like the boss. However, while the boss appears to have fought against the cruel hand of fate to emerge even stronger, Mr. Woodifield seems to have been weakened by his problems.
Explanation:
Answer:
He doesn’t get to come to office very often anymore.

1. What are the two reasons Fish argues for why colleges and universities should not speak out on controversial
political issues?
Answer:
The First Amendment to the Constitution protects speech no matter how offensive its content. Restrictions on speech by public colleges and universities amount to government censorship, in violation of the Constitution. Such restrictions deprive students of their right to invite speech they wish to hear, debate speech with which they disagree, and protest speech they find bigoted or offensive. An open society depends on liberal education, and the whole enterprise of liberal education is founded on the principle of free speech.

Hated by his kind and by mankind, indomitable, perpetually warred upon and himself waging perpetual war, his development was rapid and one-sided. This was no soil for kindliness and affection to blossom in. Of such things he had not the faintest glimmering. The code he learned was to obey the strong and to oppress the weak. Grey Beaver was a god, and strong. Therefore White Fang obeyed him. But the dog younger or smaller than himself was weak, a thing to be destroyed. What motivates White Fang “to obey the strong and to oppress the weak”?
