2. most likely because you are already asleep during when a thunderstorm happens and you've already awoken when there's an assembly you've already awoken during that day, making it harder to fall asleep again.
3. wait what
4. wow I honestly have never thought of that...that's actually pretty true.

Nice job!
I guess the third one means that someone who always changes their mind can never write a book.

And for the second one i don't think the quote is meant to be taken literally. I think it means that society forged people to close their eyes to something terrible and open their eyes to unimportant things.

"A starving army is worse than no army at all" - Napoleon
"Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet. "

2. It is indeed

Thunderstorms usually calm people; commonplace assemblies are usually associated with importance.

Well, Douglas Adams wrote that in The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Just though to educate you guys a bit more. I'm on the second book of that series.

Well, since everyone has given their thought on it. I created all those quotes.
