Lines 41–57: What main primary source does Euchner use for his analysis? Do you think Euchner used other primary sources? How do you know?

After recalling the story of Lincoln freeing the slaves, with the
simple stroke of a pen in the middle of a bloody war, King laments
the inferior position of blacks a century later. Each mournful
repetition deepens the pain, raises the dramatic tension. Each
repetition condemns the oppressor. The oration becomes poetry:
But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free.
One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still
sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and
the chains of discrimination.
One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely
island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of
material prosperity.
One hundred years later, the Negro is still languished
in the corners of American society and finds
himself in exile in his own country.
King looks down at his text, shakes his head as he speaks. He
rocks back and forth on the balls of his feet as he finds his rhythm.

Answer:

Eunchner used a text written by Martin Luther King as a primary source and it is likely that he did not use any other primary source, since he does not cite any other documents in the text above.

Explanation:

A primary source is a document that reports on a historical event and that was built at the moment that this historical moment is happening. In the text above, we can see that the author references a text by King in relation to his position on the situation of blacks in America. It is likely that this reference is referring to a text written by Martin Luther King at the time of the marches in the name of civil rights, therefore, this text is a primary source.

However, the author does not cite any other documents, which indicates that King's text was the only primary source he used.

Sadie sat down at the computer, opened a browser, and typed in the web address. (Alliteration) (Metaphor) Shopping online had recently become a sport for her. She loved eBay and took  great pleasure in outbidding an opponent of a desired item. She had her eye on a  blood-red blanket that would be beautiful in her basement living room (Oxymoron). As the  auction clock ticked down, her finger waited (Personification), like a poisonous snake (Simile), ready to  strike. Just as she submitted the bid, her computer threw a fit (Personification/Alliteration) and shut the browser  completely down. "Good grief!" she exclaimed (Onomatopoeia).

The identified figures of speech were used in the sentences above. Simile compares words using like and as. Oxymoron places contradictory items side by side.

It is an oxymoron when we say that a blood-red blanket is beautiful. Alliteration is used in the repetition of words that have similar sounds.

Personification occurs when the characteristics of living things are given to inanimate objects.

Explanation:

My cell phone rings again. It is futile to ignore it; Valerie is persistent. When she wants something, she will continue to harass me until I give in.

"Hello," I answer.

"State Fair, Bobbie?" she asks in her singsong voice. "When are we heading out? Only two more days left!"

I abhor the State Fair. The boisterous crowds, the insanely long lines, and the impossibility of finding a clean restroom all combine to make this an event that I utterly detest.

For Valerie, my best friend since middle school, the State Fair is a sign that divine powers really do exist.

"Really, Bobbie, where else can you pet a cow, ride a horse, fall ten stories, see the world’s smallest person and eat fried macaroni and cheese?" Valerie asks gleefully.

"Hades?" I guess.

The fried food at the State Fair is a gastronomical nightmare on its own. I once tried a fried pickle at the fair and was sick to my stomach for hours. And a fried donut hamburger with bacon, cheese, AND a greasy egg? How could that not be deleterious? Consuming a single serving of fair food has the potential to take years off your life. And I think about this. But then my better nature takes hold, and an image of Valerie's face on the other end of the line comes into view. I haven't seen her for a good month; our schedules are both so hectic. By and by, my hatred of the State Fair becomes inconsequential compared to my desire to spend time with Val. Besides, I don't have to eat the disgusting fair food. I can simply admire it from a safe distance.

Alas, I ignore my anti-fair bias for the umpteenth year. "Pick me up at noon," I say and hang up the phone.
According to the passage, Bobbie finally agrees to go to the fair because

A. Valerie convinces her using a tempting description
B. Valerie coerces her using peer pressure
C. she recognizes that she does not have to eat fair food
D. she wants to spend time with Valerie

Answers

Answer: D. she wants to spend time with Valerie.

Hamlet: To be, or not to be that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and, by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep,
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause.

- unknown

Answers

Answer:

Alexander should definitely not say everything that he knows about the history of bicycle design, seeing as that would be rude to all other participants, and it is a collaborative discussion. Instead, Alexander can tell everyone that he, in fact, also studied a lot on the history of bicycle design. He should then request that they take turns sharing ideas on what to add to the paper so that no one feels left out and all of their ideas are included.

Don't include this part in your answer: On another note, Daniel could just write the paper himself

     The best way for Alexander to participate in the discussion would be for Alexander to not discuss everything he happens to know about the history of bicycle designs, and see what other participates have to say adding their own ideas and details being a collaborative discussion.

What is the meaning of this Julius Caesar quote?

“If then that friend demand why Brutus rose against Caesar,this is my answer: not that I loved Caesar less but that I loved Rome more. Had you rather Caesar were living and die all slaves then that Caesar were dead to live all free men? As Caesar loved me I weep for him as he was fortunate I rejoice at it.As he was valiant I honour him.But as he was ambitious I slew him There is tears for his love joy for his fortune honour for his valour and death for his ambition.”

Answers

Answer:

Brutus says he rose against Caesar not because he didn't love him, but because he loved Rome more. If Caesar were still living, they'd all be slaves. While Caesar was a lot of good things, he had to die for his ambition. his offenses enforced for which he suffered death.

Explanation:

I think Im sorry if itś not what your looking for.

Happy thx giving!!

The meaning of this Julius Caesar quote is Brutus chose to put Rome's interests above his personal relationship with Caesar.

What is a quote?

A quote is a passage or phrase taken directly from a text, speech, or conversation and repeated or written down by someone else. Quotes are typically used to provide evidence or support for an argument, to emphasize a particular point, or to attribute words or ideas to a particular source. Quotes are often enclosed in quotation marks to indicate that they are the exact words spoken or written by someone else.

Here in the Question,

In this quote, Brutus explains why he participated in the assassination of Julius Caesar. Brutus was Caesar's close friend but believed that Caesar's ambition threatened the freedom and democracy of Rome.

Brutus asks rhetorically whether it is better for Caesar to live and everyone else to be slaves or for Caesar to die and everyone else to be free. He then explains that he mourns Caesar's death as a friend, rejoices in his good qualities, and honors his bravery. However, he also acknowledges that Caesar's ambition was a danger to the Roman Republic, and so he ultimately decided to join in the plot to kill him.

The quote highlights the internal conflict that Brutus faced as he weighed his loyalty to his friend against his loyalty to his country's political ideals. It also illustrates the complexity of human emotions and motivations in times of political upheaval.

Therefore, Brutus chose to put Rome's interests above his personal relationship with Caesar.
