Re-read this paragraph from the speech.

(18) It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's faces, but let us judge not, that we be not judged. (19) The prayers of both could not be answered. (20) That of neither has been answered fully. (21) The Almighty has His own purposes. (22) "Woe unto the world because of offenses; for it must needs be that offenses come, but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh." (23) If we shall suppose that American slavery is one of those offenses which, in the providence of God, must needs come, but which, having continued through His appointed time, He now wills to remove, and that He gives to both North and South this terrible war as the woe due to those by whom the offense came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a living God always ascribe to Him? (24) Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. (25) Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether."

The speaker uses the quotation in sentence 22 ("Woe unto the world...the offense cometh...") to


suggest that the country is being punished for allowing slavery
contrast the values of the troops for the North and the South
imply that the North has a responsibility to destroy the South
establish the idea that slavery is a necessary woe in the country's history

Re-read this paragraph from the speech.

(10) One-eighth of the whole population were colored slaves, not distributed generally over the Union, but localized in the southern part of it. (11) These slaves constituted a peculiar and powerful interest. (12) All knew that this interest was somehow the cause of the war. (13) To strengthen, perpetuate, and extend this interest was the object for which the insurgents would rend the Union even by war; while the Government claimed no right to do more than to restrict the territorial enlargement of it. (14) Neither party expected for the war the magnitude or the duration which it has already attained. (15) Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with, or even before, the conflict itself should cease. (16) Each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. (17) Both read the same Bible and pray to the same God, and each invokes His aid against the other.

The primary function of sentence 17 ("Both read the same Bible...") is to

contrast the religious beliefs that guide the North and the South to war
decry the role that religion had in perpetuating the institution of slavery
emphasize the religious beliefs that both the North and the South have in common
illuminate the role of religion in inspiring the reason and justification for war

3.
Re-read the first paragraph of the speech.

(1) At this second appearing to take the oath of the Presidential office there is less occasion for an extended address than there was at the first. (2) Then, a statement somewhat in detail of a course to be pursued seemed fitting and proper. (3) Now, at the expiration of four years, during which public declarations have been constantly called forth on every point and phase of the great contest which still absorbs the attention and engrosses the energies of the nation, little that is new could be presented. (4) The progress of our arms, upon which all else chiefly depends, is as well known to the public as to myself, and it is, I trust, reasonably satisfactory and encouraging to all. (5) With high hope for the future, no prediction in regard to it is ventured.

The purpose of this first paragraph is to

refute the rumors circulating about the nature or causes of the war
acknowledge the reason for the brevity and content of the rest of his speech
establish the foundational thesis for the speaker's forthcoming argument
establish the speaker's confidence for the future of a unified country

Answers

Answer 1

After reading the paragraphs from President Lincoln's speech, we can answer in the following manner:

D. Establish the idea that slavery is a necessary woe in the country's history.C. Emphasize the religious beliefs that both the North and the South have in common.C. Establish the foundational thesis for the speaker's forthcoming argument.

Why does Lincoln quote the Bible?In question 1, we are supposed to analyze the reason why President Lincoln quotes the Bible, particularly the part about woes and punishment.According to the quote, people will (and even must) do wrong things (woes), but they will be punished for it. Then, Lincoln explains that slavery is one of those woes that people must do, and that is was originally allowed by God.The only reason why there is war now is because slavery has continued for longer than God intended. If the whites had ended it when they should have, no war (punishment) would be necessary.

What does Lincoln mean when he says both sides read the same Bible?Both the North and the South have the same beliefs. They consist of Christians who pray to the same God and read the same Bible. However, even though they have their religious beliefs in common, they still fight.Here, Lincoln does not seem to be criticizing religion at all. Nor is he saying that the two sides have different beliefs. He is emphasizing the fact that they actually believe in the same things.

What is the purpose of the first paragraph:The first paragraph in this speech, just like in any other speech, has the purpose of establishing the thesis, the idea that will guide the rest of the speech.The first paragraph is an introduction where the speaker presents the main idea that will be developed throughout the speech.

With the information above in mind, we can choose letters D, C, and C, respectively, as the best choices.

Read the poem and answer the question.

[1]I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
[5]Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
[10]Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
[15]A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
[20]In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

Wordsworth uses the word "dance" throughout his poem. In a paragraph of 3-5 sentences, analyze how the poet uses "dance" in stanzas 1 and 4. Who is dancing in these two stanzas? In each instance, what does the use of the word "dance" reveal about Wordsworth's view of nature?

Answers

Answer:

The daffodils are dancing! Not literally, of course, since this is personification. Wordsworth sees nature as beautiful and light, like how a dancer would be. It shines light on the good of the world, in the form of making something as non-human as a flower have more human qualities.

Explanation:

By "human qualities" I mean things like dancing, singing, holding objects, talking, whispering, etc.

The play about Romeo and Juliet is a drama because:

a) it dialogue between characters.
b) there are fictional characters in it.
c) it was written to be performed in front of an audience.
d) None of the choices are correct.

Answers

C) It was written to be performed in front of an audience.
“Drama” is defined as “a play for theater, radio, or television”, and Romeo and Juliet fits this definition. It was a play written to be theatrically performed, and is therefore a drama.

Romeo and Juliet fulfill the description of "drama" as "a play for theater, radio, or television." It is a drama because it was composed as a play to be played on stage.

Thus, Option C is correct.

What is drama literature?

A drama in literature is the staging of written dialogue that depicts real or imagined events (either prose or poetry). Dramas can be broadcast on the radio, filmed, or on stage. Plays are the common name for dramas, and playwrights or dramatists are the people who write them.

Drama has been practiced since the time of Aristotle (c. 335 BCE), and its name derives from the Greek terms (an act, a play), and (to act, to take action). Thalia, the Muse of comedy, and Melpomene, the Muse of tragedy, are two of the two classic masks of drama that represent them: the laughing face and the crying face.

how does hardship threaten billie jo's emotional survival?

Answers

Meet Billie Jo Kelby, a fourteen-year-old girl living in Cimarron County, Oklahoma with her mom, a homemaker, and her dad, a farmer. While there's peace in their small family, she hasn't exactly been living the dream. Her dad was expecting a boy and got her instead, which has kept their relationship strained, and on top of that, his farm is in decline due to the drought and dust storms. Things are about to change in a big way, though, as Ma has recently learned that she's going to have a baby.

Ma taught Billie Jo to play the piano when she was young, and it's since grown into a huge passion for her. Arley Wanderdale, a music manager who gives lessons at her school, takes a special interest in her talent, inviting her to play for local shows and even go on tour with him, his band the Black Mesa Boys, and crooning heartthrob Mad Dog Craddock. In spite of her shared love for the piano, though, Ma is kind of cagey about her playing professionally, which creates tension between the two of them.
Just when things are opening up for Billie Jo's own music career, tragedy strikes. While making breakfast, Ma mistakes a bucket of kerosene for water and pours it on the stove. She runs outside with the intention of coming back in, but Billie Jo, unaware of this, throws the flaming bucket of kerosene outside at the moment she returns, catching Ma on fire.
Billie Jo tries to smother the flames with her hands, badly burning them in the process. A few days later, Ma dies giving birth to a baby boy, whom Daddy names Franklin (as in Roosevelt). Billie Jo struggles with anger toward both herself and Daddy for what happened.

Billie Jo and Daddy struggle to fill the void left by Ma and the baby. Daddy starts digging an enormous hole for an irrigation pond Ma suggested he try to make and enrolls in some night school classes in case the farm goes under; meanwhile, Billie Jo attempts to find ways to break the silence between them and deal with her emotions about what happened. Life, however, is one giant, constant reminder of what she's lost, especially when a migrant family joins her school and the mother gives birth to a baby girl.
While her hands are in such pain that playing piano is difficulty, Billie Jo still tries. She accepts Arley's invitation to play at a dance show and even wins third prize in a talent competition. Even music, though, has lost the joy it used to bring her; life eventually wears her down so much that when she's invited to play at graduation ceremonies, she only sits there and can't play a note.
We'd like to say that things gradually start getting better for Daddy and Billie Jo, but they don't. Daddy's wheat crops continue to experience the onslaught of the dust storms, and although his own father died of skin cancer, Daddy chooses to ignore some spots that start showing up on his skin rather than get them treated. When Billie Jo realizes that he would rather die and abandon her than continue to face the future without Ma, she decides to leave home.

Billie Jo hitches a ride on a boxcar traveling west, and on her journey, she meets up with a man who left his wife and children in hopes of finding a better way to provide for them. Her encounter with the man makes her realize that getting away from Oklahoma isn't the answer—she can't abandon her father and the only home she knows—instead she needs to learn to grow there, just like the wheat. She gets off the train in Arizona and places a call to the local store for someone to let Daddy know she's coming home.
Daddy meets her at the station and things immediately begin to improve. They start talking openly about everything that's happened and Billie Jo convinces him to get his skin examined. The doctor cuts out the spots in hopes of stopping the cancer, and advises Billie Jo to start using her hands again to help them heal.
Just as Billie Jo and Daddy start to heal their relationship, another big development happens: Daddy's lady friend, Louise, comes to dinner. She was his teacher in the night school class and the two really hit it off. While she's happy for her dad, Billie Jo struggles with how much she wants to let Louise into her life; Louise is understanding of this though, and doesn't try to force her way into the family. Instead, she kindly listens to Billie Jo's story and gradually wins her over.

On Thanksgiving, Daddy asks Louise to marry him. She gives him a second mule for an engagement gift, and he makes plans to diversify his crop selection and try some new farming techniques. Billie Jo loves Louise and looks forward to her visits, as well as the day she and Daddy get married. She enjoys playing piano for them, having finally let herself heal enough to return to her love of music.
