You know, if you actually READ the assignments, you would know.
You would have the opportunity to expand your iddy-bitty mind, and think of something new, besides whether Reid is taking you or Jessica to the mall, or whether you should dye your hair turquoise.
It is a wonderful book, difficult, and complex, that is why it was assigned. The teacher thought you could handle it.
The teachers and society at large feel you need to know this information, since it was a turning point in the history of the Western World-- you know, that place you live that is right there outside the stadium.
BTW, if you had been paying attention in 5th grade, you could have written this question correctly:
Why is Thomas More imprisoned in the book, "A Man For All Seasons"?
Oww, that made my head hurt...

Thomas Moore was a moral man, and he was convicted of treason for not signing a paper the King wanted him to sign that went against Sir Thomas Moore's principles. The King knew that if Moore signed this paper, many more citizens would follow suit. Memory does not serve me as well as to the contents of the paper (something about Catholicism and divorce rings a bell).

Because of his moral rectitude: he refused to approve of King Henry the 8-th breaking up with the Catholic Church just to be able to annul his marriage at his own pleasure. He should be the model of all politicians?

2 reasons: he would not support henry viii's divorce to catherine of aragon, and the act of succession (which meant that he recognises henry and anne boleyn's children as successors to the throne of england) and also because he would not sign the act of supremacy which meant that he recognised henry as the supreme head of the church of england - he was a devoted catholic and only recognised the pope as the supreme head of the church
