Excerpt from Crisis No. 1 Thomas Paine These are the times that try men’s souls: The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it NOW, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph...Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right (not only to TAX) but ‘to BIND us in ALL CASES WHATSOEVER,’ and if being bound in that manner, is not slavery, then is there not such a thing as slavery upon earth. Even the expression is impious, for so unlimited a power can belong only to GOD. The author's purpose in writing this passage is

Answer 1

Answer:

The purpose of author to write this passage was to awaken the patriotism in the heart of his audience.

Explanation:

'The Crisis, Number 1' is a commentary written by Thomas Paine in 1776. The commentary was read before his audience on December 23, 2020. The purpose of writing the commentary was to inculcate the heart of patriotism and to encourage Americans to fight against British tyranny.

In his commentary, he outlined several obstacles that they had and he also desired to unite the colonies for the fight against British tyranny.

In this excerpt, Thomas is stating the difference between a summer soldier and a true patriot. A summer soldier is assigned only for a period but a true soldier fights even in the harshest winter. The essay is considered as one of the most apt persuasive essay, as Paine has vividly tried to persuade his audience.

what is the meaning of the comparison the author makes with the simile in Hope, Despair, and Memory ,"Like the body, memory protects its wounds"?

Answers

Answer:

The body protects its wounds. This means that the body heals injuries over time.

Explanation:

The author is comparing this to memory. The author is meaning to say that no matter the bad memories that you have, you'll still have good ones to pick you up again.

The simile used in the story simply means that injuries are healed with the passage of time.

The simile simply means the figure of speech that's used when we want to compare a particular thing with something else.

The author compared the body to memory. Here, the author is illustrating that the memory protects its wounds as when we are going through a tough time, with time, we'll get over such situations. This is exactly the same way that injuries get healed when we are injured.

Read the statement below. Then decide whether you agree or disagree with the statement. Be prepared to support your opinion with details from the story. Here's your discussion prompt: In Gogol's "The Nose," the loss of a nose symbolizes the loss of power.

Answers

Answer:

Yes, I agree with the statement that the loss of Major Kovalyov's nose symbolizes the loss of power in the person.

Explanation:

Nikolai Gogol's satirical story "The Nose" that tells the story around an official in the Russian government who lost his nose. And along with that loss of the physical facial feature, he seemed to have lost his self-esteem and did things that seemed unbecoming of a government official.

In the story, the loss of the nose not only represents the literal loss of the facial feature. It also represents the literal loss of power or authority in the person. Collegiate Assessor Kovalyov was proud of his achievement and would refer to himself as "Major" just to show his power, "to make himself sound more important and to give more weight to his status". Thus, it is evident that power and status means a lot to him. So, when he realized his nose had disappeared and resurfaced as some official higher than him in position, he was flabbergasted. He even approached the nose at the church and demanded to know "where you belong? And where do I find you? In church, of all places!". He had previously guessed the position of the nose as perhaps "a state councilor" but that did not deter him from reproachfully ordering him to return his nose.

So, when the nose refused to return, he felt smaller and in "absolute despair". He even stated his position of "major" to the nose, in a bid to give authenticity to his claim. His common demeanor of telling people to 'ask for Major Kovalyov' to get something or approaching beautiful ladies all changed after the loss of the nose. Now, he felt powerless and unable to do anything, not even depend on his 'title' to get his own personal property-the nose, back. He was even reluctant to face the "slim girl [whose] cheeks flushed with the colour of the first rose of spring." He did not have any courage to approach or behave as he normally would have been, confident and powerful. And when he was asked his name at the advertising agency, he refused to reveal his name which he used to proudly proclaim to everyone.

And once the nose was returned, he felt a sense of joy that was so "intense" and regained his previous personality/ character of the 'powerful' and 'dashing' Major. Thus, I agree with the statement that the loss of the nose symbolizes the loss of power in the character of Major Kovalyov.

Answers

The correct answer is B. Wiesel uses rhetorical questions to encourage the audience to continue to think about his ideas

Explanation:

The excerpt presented belongs to a speech known as "the Perils of Indifference" by Elie Wiesel who was a survivor of the Holocaust and an important author in the topic. In the excerpt presented, Wiesel refers to the indifference and the importance of learning from the past.

To explain this, the main technique Wiesel uses is rhetorical questions that are questions not intended to be answered by the audience but that encourages the audience to reflect and think about the ideas. For example, the rhetorical question "Have we really learned from our experiences? " makes the audience think about whether atrocities such as the Holocaust can occur again or the question "Has the human being become less indifferent and more human?" that questions the indifference in human societies.

B The speaker doesn’t understand why the student wants to pray. C The speaker is annoyed with the student for asking to pray. D The speaker is accepting of the student’s request to pray.

Answers

Answer: D The speaker is accepting of the student’s request to pray.

Explanation:

In the poem, Window Seat by Molly McGinnis, The Speaker was lost in thought when the Muslim student asked him if he didn't mind if he could pray.

His reaction indicated that he did not mind if the student prayed and he even remarked inwardly how people in the storm raging thousands of feet below the Airplane did not bother to ask permission.

I suppose the student made the request due to the rampant Islamophobia going on around the world and the fear people feel when a person speaks Arabic. We can only pray to move on from such discriminatory times as well as the times and reasons that cause the fear and be more accepting in future.
