04.08 - On Civil Disobedience (Part II)

Today in class we continued with our work on Henry David Thoreau's piece On the Duty of Civil Disobedience. In reading the text, we continued to read paragraphs and then pause to make annotations which we then discussed. In this work, we read through page 9 to the middle of page 11. For homework, people should continue to read the text.
