Chapter 1 Skill A 01 Campus Life W Hey I saw you guys playing softball. Could I join your team M Well we re full right now actually. Are you signed up in the intramural sports league W No how does that work M Go to Withurst Hall room 304 and fill out a form to sign up as a free agent. Then if a team needs a player they can select you from a list. You just have to sign up and pay the fees. W Fees huh What are those like M Well they re 30 dollars per player for a season if you re on a team. I m not sure about free agents. 02 Sociology M Could you explain the differences between preindustrial early industrial and mature industrial populations again W Of course. A preindustrial population like say a tribe has a high death rate and a high birth rate. Many people die but many new babies are born too. So their population is stable. A mature industrial population such as the US has low birth and death rates so the population is also stable in theory. On the other hand an early industrial population like India can achieve low death rates but still have high birth rates so it experiences a population explosion. Thus it differs from the other two. 03 Literature M I noticed that many of you wrote in your term papers that Shakespeare invented the sonnet. This is a fallacy. Shakespeare did popularize the sonnet in England but it had been in existence in Italy for two centuries before that. Sonnets were being written in Italian as pastoral love poems. If you recall from earlier lectures it was Petrarch who refined the form and set the standard for the Italian sonnet with two parts the first part being eight lines and the second part six lines. Shakespearean sonnets on the other hand have four parts three quatrains .
