Write a regular length essay (750 – 1,000 words) on the following topic.
This is the Quote
“More and more, we take for granted that work must be destitute of pleasure. More and more, we assume that if we want to be pleased we must wait until evening, or the weekend, or vacation, or retirement. More and more, our farms and forests resemble our factories and offices, which in turn more and more resemble prisons—why else should we be so eager to escape them? We recognize defeated landscapes by the absence of pleasure from them. We are defeated at work because our work gives us no pleasure.” – Wendell Berry
This is what the teacher is asking
To what extent do you agree or disagree with the point of view elaborated by Wendell Berry? To what kind of work do you think he is referring? What factors account for boredom and tyranny at the workplace? What is the difference between a job and a vocation? How would you diminish drudgery and manipulation in the workplace?

Sorry. Better put on your thinking cap and give your own opinion about these questions. There are no right and wrong answers; just your own answers.
