Levitt and Dubner, the authors of the influential book "Freakonomics," argue that students have always felt compelled to cheat to achieve better grades, which in turn can lead to improved social status. Additionally, teachers started to engage in cheating as they, too, faced pressures related to their students' performance, with their employment sometimes hinging on student success. For instance, in Chicago, a school was nearing closure due to poor grades, prompting teachers to resort to dishonest practices to retain their jobs. While this behavior did arise from incentives, Levitt and Dubner's findings suggest that only around 5% of teachers engage in cheating, with honesty prevailing among the majority. A similar trend is observed with sumo wrestlers, who often cheat in response to dissatisfaction with their low incomes.
I believe that the poem "Wind" serves an educational purpose. A didactic poem conveys moral teachings. Subramania Bharati’s "Wind" addresses the wind's force, pleading for it not to scatter the book's pages, but it does so while also bringing rainfall. It states, "Wind, come gently. Please don’t shatter the window shutters. Do not disperse the pages. Refrain from toppling the books off the shelf. Look at the chaos you caused — everything is on the ground. You ripped the pages of the books. Yet again, you bring the rain." In the poem's latter section, the poet suggests constructing sturdy homes that can endure fierce winds. Another lesson emphasizes the importance of strengthening our minds and bodies to better endure life’s hardships. Hence, he urges us to build robust homes, ensure doors are firmly secured, strengthen our bodies, and cultivate unwavering spirits. By doing this, the wind will ally with us, as it extinguishes frail fires.
The syllables with emphasis in the line "We wear our fingers rough with handling them" are: wear, fin, rough, hand, them.
This line exemplifies iambic pentameter, which alternates between unstressed and stressed syllables, beginning with an unstressed one. For example, WE is unstressed, then WEAR is stressed, continuing this pattern.
