Food is usually prepared in bite-sized pieces (except fish, crabs and so on), ready for direct picking up and eating.

It was also considered ungracious have guests work at cutting their own food.

    Although, the wall protected China, the construction of the wall wasted time. Document B states a list of different ways China could have protected itself. If they had followed some of these suggestions, many Chinese subjects’ lives could have been spared. The Great Wall was also never on single continuous wall. This meant, they could have used this time to find simpler and safer ways to protect China. Third, the wall took an extreme amount of time to build and complete.

    While actual estimates vary depending on how the measurements are done, the Great Wall is said to be anywhere from 2,400 km (about 1,500 mi) long to 6,400 km (4,000 mi), or longer. The average size of the wall is 6.5 meters (21.3 feet) wide at the base sloping to 5.8 meters (19 feet) wide at the top and an average height of 8 meters (26 feet). Even though this colossal structure is referred to as simply, "The Great Wall", it is actually a network of wall joined together. The Great Wall first began to take its shape during the warring states period when states of Qi, Yen, and Zhao all build earthen ramparts along their frontiers. The next step in the creation of the wall came in the Qin dynasty when many parts of the earlier walls were unified in an attempt to keep the nomadic tribes of the north out of China. The Great Wall as we see it today was…

    There is no better example of disobedience leading to progress than America itself. This country was built on revolution, from the worn eighteenth-century bricks pointing the way to Lexington and Concord to antiquated metal signs corroding in the landfill reading ‘Whites only’. To justify a safe and prosperous life, rebellions and protests must occur- until the minority becomes heard over the deafening shout of the majority, there cannot truly be peace. Oscar Wilde’s claim that ‘it is through disobedience that progress has been made, through disobedience and through rebellion’ has never been more accurate than it is today, especially when weighed against a powerful, strife-ridden history. Rebellions, whether unheard or spoken to the masses, make up the…
