News Report Chapter 4

Today very bad things have happened. I am a Nazi and I personally witnessed this outbreak. I did not try and help because I did not want to. I just stood their and watched it all happen. All of the Nazi's and me were making all of the Jewish people walk around the town so people would know that they were Jewish.
It was a very cruel, and If I was not a soldier I would of tried to help stop it. Since I and a Nazi reporter, I will not tell you my name. All I would say is that if I was not being forced to be a soldier, I would make sure it would stop and never happen again.

Post Taming Exam Response

In the start of the book, Petruchio states that he will tame Kate and make her his wife. He is positive that it will happen. He has a good conversation with her father and he makes her his wife. She has no say in if she marries him or not. He makes sure she does not like what she wears or what she eats. He also makes sure she does not sleep a lot. 
In the end of the book, the men have a wager about which wife will do what the husband says. Kate was the only one to come because she knows that she has to not only live and be married to Petruchio, but she also has to respect, love, and do what ever he tells her. She goes on saying a soliloquy about how the widow and her sister should feel about their husband. Petruchio then knows that he has properly tamed her and he has a great wife.
