Question

complete your own close reading of the final paragraph of “the refusal.” minimum of 5 annotations. then, answer the questions on the next page. as a matter of fact, there is, so far as my observations go, a certain age group that is not content—these are the young people roughly between seventeen and twenty. quite young fellows, in fact, who are utterly incapable of foreseeing the consequences of even the least significant, far less a revolutionary, idea. and it is among just them that discontent creeps in.

Explanation:

The text discusses a certain age - group (17 - 20 year - olds) being discontent and lacking the ability to foresee consequences. Close reading annotations could focus on the author's tone (critical), the age range specified, the description of the young people's inability to foresee consequences, the use of the word "discontent", and the contrast between "least significant" and "revolutionary" ideas.
