PLEASE HELP
The Chase
by Ana Marjava
I walk down the street to you
to greet you at the light.
I see you there with golden hair,
your hands are out of sight.

5 I spree between the stalls to you,
the vendors wave their wares.
The smells of grains and meats blow-by.
I frolic to the stairs

to follow you down steps and flights—
10 you are moving way too fast.
My efforts are all at once quite lame
as sirens blare and blast.

I see you turning toward the bay.
I try to call your name.
15 Your hands I wish to hold once more
to make you mine again.

I step across the curb and grate.
The ground beneath me moves.
The asphalt once inflexible
20 now with music grooves.

I catch my breath and say, "oh well"
You turn, now here's the thing.
I see your hand and from it shines
a sparkling wedding ring.

Read this paragraph from chapter 5 of the prince. there are, for example, the spartans and the romans. the spartans held athens and thebes, establishing there an oligarchy: nevertheless they lost them. the romans, in order to hold capua, carthage, and numantia, dismantled them, and did not lose them. they wished to hold greece as the spartans held it, making it free and permitting its laws, and did not succeed. so to hold it they were compelled to dismantle many cities in the country, for in truth there is no safe way to retain them otherwise than by ruining them. and he who becomes master of a city accustomed to freedom and does not destroy it, may expect to be destroyed by it, for in rebellion it has always the watchword of liberty and its ancient privileges as a rallying point, which neither time nor benefits will ever cause it to forget. and whatever you may do or provide against, they never forget that name or their privileges unless they are disunited or dispersed, but at every chance they immediately rally to them, as pisa after the hundred years she had been held in bondage by the florentines. what idea is stressed in the passage? the desire for liberty the establishment of an oligarchy the dismantling of an acquired state the tendency toward rebellion
