Read the excerpt from "the bet" by anton chekov and answer the question
[1] it was a dark autumn night. the old banker was walking up and down his study and remembering how, fifteen years before, he had given a party one autumn evening. there had been many clever men
there, and there had been interesting conversations. among other things they had talked of capital punishment. the majority of the guests, among whom were many journalists and intellectual men,
disapproved of the death penalty. they considered that form of punishment out of date, immoral, and unsuitable for christian states. in the opinion of some of them the death penalty ought to be replaced
everywhere by imprisonment for life. "i don't agree with you," said their host the banker. "i have not tried either the death penalty or imprisonment for life, but if one may judge a priori, the death penalty is more
moral and more humane than imprisonment for life. capital punishment kills a man at once, but lifelong imprisonment kills him slowly. which executioner is the more humane, he who kills you in a few minutes
or he who drags the life out of you in the course of many years? "
[2] "both are equally immoral, observed one of the guests, "for they both have the same object—to take away life. the state is not god. it has not the right to take away what it cannot restore when it wants
[3] among the guests was a young lawyer, a young man of five-and-twenty. when he was asked his opinion, he said:
[4] "the death sentence and the life sentence are equally immoral, but if i had to choose between the death penalty and imprisonment for life, i would certainly choose the second. to live anyhow is better
than not at all."
[5] a lively discussion arose. the banker, who was younger and more nervous in those days, was suddenly carried away by excitement; he struck the table with his fist and shouted at the young man:
[6] "it's not true! i'll bet you two million you wouldn't stay in solitary confinement for five years."
17] "if you mean that in earnest," said the young man, "i'll take the bet, but i would stay not five but fifteen years."
[8] "fifteen? done! " cried the banker. "gentlemen, i stake two million! "
in 5-7 complete sentence, summarize your module one short story. give specific details about the exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. your response should address each element of plot?

Which excerpt from tinker v. des moines shows how precedent support an argument? a. "as we shall discuss, the wearing of armbands in the circumstances of this case was entirely divorced from actually or potentially disruptive conduct by those participating in it. it was closely akin to 'pure speech' which, we have repeatedly held, is entitled to comprehensive protection under the first amendment. cf. cox v. louisiana, 379 u. s. 536, 555 (1965); adderley v. florida, 385 u. s. 39 (1966)." b. "while the absence of obscene remarks or boisterous and loud disorder perhaps justifies the court's statement that the few armband students did not actually 'disrupt' the classwork, i think the record overwhelmingly shows that the armbands did exactly what the elected school officials and principals foresaw they would." c. "i, for one, am not fully persuaded that school pupils are wise enough, even with this court's expert from washington, to run the 23,390 public school systems [n4] in our 50 states." d. "under our constitution, free speech is not a right that is given only to be so circumscribed that it exists in principle, but not in fact. freedom of expression would not truly exist if the right could be exercised only in an area that a benevolent government has provided as a safe haven for crackpots."
