Explanation:

what theme about government does jefferson communicate in the second paragraph from the story the declaration of independence

Answers

That the government's powers comes from the people. 

Answer:    The power, legitimacy, authority of the government come from its citizens

Explanation:  Since the Declaration was written under the direct influence of the Enlightenment ideas, the second paragraph gives meaning, that is, the basic thesis, which is why the Declaration was written. Since, according to Enlightenment ideas, all people are born equal with the same innate natural rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of personal happiness, so these same people have the right to choose a government that protects the natural rights of their citizens. This means that if a government is tyrannical, as was the British rule over the 13 colonies, then the citizens have the right to overthrow and replace such a government, which was the for writing a declaration as a guarantor and guide to creating a state independent of British rule that was tyrannical and all in line with the Enlightenment ideas. That is why the second paragraph speaks of a government that will protect the interests and rights of citizens, i.e the government's mandate, authority and powers come from the people, which is a prerequisite that, according to the Enlightenment, such a government should not be tyrannical.

The poem “Richard Cory” by Edwin Arlington Robinson explores how the theme of dissatisfaction and the mentality that “the grass is greener on the other side” affects all humans. Which lines in this excerpt reflect those themes?

a.And he was rich—yes, richer than a king—
And admirably schooled in every grace
b.To make us wish that we were in his place.
c.So on we worked, and waited for the light
d.Went home and put a bullet through his head.


Answers

The question states that "Richard Cory" explores that "the grass is greener on the other side" affects all humans.

Because of this, I believe the answer is B and D.

With B and D, you can see both sides, both people from opposite sides of "the grass" who wish to be on the other side.

B. "To make us wish that we were in his place" says this directly, while D. "Went home and put a bullet through his head" implies it. He was obviously unhappy with his life, and wished for something else.

Which lines in this excerpt from Elizabeth Bishop's "The Fish" use assonance?
He was speckled with barnacles,
fine rosettes of lime,
and infested
with tiny white sea-lice,
and underneath two or three
rags of green weed hung down.
While his gills were breathing in
the terrible oxygen
--the frightening gills,
fresh and crisp with blood, that can cut so badly—
I thought of the coarse white flesh
packed in like feathers,
the big bones and the little bones,

Answers

Assonance is when a poet repeats the same vowels in numerous consecutive words. Here it occurs in lines such as
with tiny white sea-lice,
Here she repeats the /ai/ diphthong
or
rags of green weed hung down.
where she repeats /i/ in green and weed.

Answer:

fine rosettes of lime,

and infested

with tiny white sea-lice,

and underneath two or three

rags of green weed hung down.

While his gills were breathing in

the terrible oxygen

--the frightening gills,

Explanation:

Assonance is the repeated use of the same vowel/ vowel sounds in near proximity in a line of poetry. This literary device consist of the repetition of the diphtho ng in any un-rhymed words in poetry.

Elizabeth Bishop's poem "The Fish" also uses this device in many of her lines. The lines

"fine rosettes of lime,

and infested

with tiny white sea-lice,

and underneath two or three

rags of green weed hung down.

While his gills were breathing in

the terrible oxygen

--the frightening gills,

the use of assonance is seen the most. Though there are no rhyming words in them, they contains more of assonance.  

Assonance is seen in the use of the "i", "o",  

fine rosettes of lime,

and infested

with tiny white sea-lice,

and underneath two or three

rags of green weed hung down.

While his gills were breathing in

the terrible oxygen

--the frightening gills.

How would you explain your understanding of context clues?

Answers

Context clues are details that help a reader understand later parts of a passage or sentence.

Ex. The corgi, who had been rummaging in the garbage, smelled nasty.

If we are trying to find out what the word "nasty" means, the context clue in this sentence is "rummaging in the garbage". Garbage has a bad smell to it, a very unpleasant smell. Therefore nasty means unpleasant.

What is Swift’s purpose in listing other ways to solve the issue of poverty?

Answers

i think i answered a question similar to this recently, so i'm pretty sure i know what excerpt this question refers to. swift lists these other ways in this sort of "backwards" manner--it's an old trick where you say "oh don't even get me started on [THIS THING THAT I WANT TO COMPLAIN ABOUT]" when no one mentioned it. by you bringing it up and saying, "i don't want to talk about it" you've effectively brought the matter into question. swift is using the same tactic here, in a sense.

he says "therefore let no man talk to me about..." then goes on to list all the actual, feasible ways that his country could solve the problem. he suggests a bunch of different ideas for reform, but also maintains that his work is a satire by stating that he doesn't want to hear about it. the list is used to show that a) swift is reasonable, and understands the true ways that the country could solve the problem, but also b) he's going to take it to the extreme. people at the time weren't even willing to pay TAXES to help their country, so swift takes it several steps further and says, "well, how about just... eating the children?" he offers reasonable suggestions (all of which contain some measure of sacrifice from the people), then suggests arguably the biggest sacrifice of all: future generations, human life, and their own children.

Read the excerpt from The Odyssey.
But when he knew he heard
Odysseus' voice nearby, he did his best
to wag his tail, nose down, with flattened ears,
having no strength to move nearer his master.
And the man looked away,
wiping a salt tear from his cheek:

What does the dog, Argus, represent in this excerpt?
A)loyalty
B)sadness
C)illness
D)ignorance

Answers

A. Loyalty

As through illness or sadness the dog remains loyal to Odysseus

A)loyalty

In the passage the dog is not well enough to run to Odysseus and show his excitement. However, it does say he "did his best to wag his tail." This shows Argus' love and loyalty to his master. It is also clear that Odysseus feels love and loyalty to his dog when he must look away "wiping a salt tear from his cheek." Seeing Argus in distress also causes an emotional reaction from Odysseus.

  These types of figures of speech are satirical elements because an intense response is expected in front of the situation presented.

The word essay originally meant _____.



argue

try

write

Answers

it originally meant *try*

Final answer:

The word essay means "to try, to test, to experiment" and originates from the French word 'essayer'. Essays in academic writing are structured arguments that advance knowledge and ideas through evidence and logical reasoning.

Explanation:

The word essay literally means "to try, to test, to experiment". This term originates from the French word essayer which translates to "to try" or "to attempt".The essay as a literary form was popularized by Michel de Montaigne, who saw writing as a method of discovery—an attempt to explore and understand various subjects.Concerning academic writing, especially at the college level, an essay is a medium where authors advance knowledge and ideas through a structured argument.This argument is a reasoned opinion supported by evidence. Therefore, when we think of essays in the context of academic writing, we are engaging in a trial or experiment to test ideas and persuasively present a viewpoint supported by logical reasoning and evidence.

A the freedom of speech.

B the right to petition the government for redress.

C the right to peacefully assemble.

D the freedom of the press.

Answers

I am pretty sure that Edwards v. South Carolina is significant in terms of selective incorporation because it limited states’ abilities to restrict C the right to peacefully assemble, I choose this one according to the  fact that First and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution that were held by the Supreme Court of the United States.
Hope it helps!

Answer:

Right to peacefully assemble.

Explanation:

In March, 1961, a number of African-American high school and college students gathered at Zion Baptist Church in Columbia, South Carolina. From there they marched in groups to the South Carolina State House in a peaceful protest march concerning civil rights of black American citizens. They maintained a peaceful, non-violent approach throughout their activity. Nevertheless, police officials insisted that they had to stop their assembly and disperse within 15 minutes, or be arrested. They did not disperse; they sang spiritual and patriotic songs. 187 persons were arrested and charged with disturbing the peace.

The students who were arrested and punished sought justice through the court system, and their case, known as Edwards v. South Carolina, was decided by the US Supreme Court in 1963. The Court held that the Constitution (specifically the 1st and 14th Amendments) did not allow state government officials or police to force a crowd to disperse when they are otherwise behaving legally. Marching in front of a state house in a peaceful manner is a protected form of free speech. Edwards v. South Carolina protected the right of citizens to assemble and express their views in a peaceful protest.
