No man thinks more highly than I do of the patriotism, as well as abilities, of the very worthy gentlemen who have just addressed the House. But different men often see the same subject in different lights; and, therefore, I hope it will not be thought disrespectful to those gentlemen if, entertaining as I do opinions of a character very opposite to theirs, I shall speak forth my sentiments freely and without reserve. This is no time for ceremony. The questing before the House is one of awful moment to this country. For my own part, I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery; and in proportion to the magnitude of the subject ought to be the freedom of the debate. It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings.
Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it. I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging the future but by the past. And judging by the past, I wish to know what there has been in the conduct of the British ministry for the last ten years to justify those hopes with which gentlemen have been pleased to solace themselves and the House. Is it that insidious smile with which our petition has been lately received? Trust it not, sir; it will prove a snare to your feet. Suffer not yourselves to be betrayed with a kiss. Ask yourselves how this gracious reception of our petition comports with those warlike preparations which cover our waters and darken our land. Are fleets and armies necessary to a work of love and reconciliation? Have we shown ourselves so unwilling to be reconciled that force must be called in to win back our love? Let us not deceive ourselves, sir. These are the implements of war and subjugation; the last arguments to which kings resort. I ask gentlemen, sir, what means this martial array, if its purpose be not to force us to submission? Can gentlemen assign any other possible motive for it? Has Great Britain any enemy, in this quarter of the world, to call for all this accumulation of navies and armies? No, sir, she has none. They are meant for us: they can be meant for no other. They are sent over to bind and rivet upon us those chains which the British ministry have been so long forging. And what have we to oppose to them? Shall we try argument? Sir, we have been trying that for the last ten years. Have we anything new to offer upon the subject? Nothing. We have held the subject up in every light of which it is capable; but it has been all in vain. Shall we resort to entreaty and humble supplication? What terms shall we find which have not been already exhausted? Let us not, I beseech you, sir, deceive ourselves. Sir, we have done everything that could be done to avert the storm which is now coming on. We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and Parliament. Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne! In vain, after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation. There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free– if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending–if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained–we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of hosts is all that is left us!

Read the paragraph about Snowball and Napoleon. What do you think it means when the author says,
“Snowball…..was not considered to have the same depth of character.”
Answer: that means that snowball did something he was not supposed to do and did something opposite of his personality because he was different from a character.
Explanation:
Having said that, the fact that Napoleon was viewed as having more character while snowball was not suggests that snowball is creative. It implies that Napoleon was more powerful or innovative.
What do you understand by the Snowball and Napoleon?Napoleon stands in for Joseph Stalin's authoritarianism following the Russian Revolution. Snowball, on the other hand, stands in for Leon Trotsky's idealistic outlook.
A character named Snowball appears in George Orwell's 1945 book Animal Farm. Leon Trotsky, who led the resistance against Joseph Stalin, is mostly the inspiration for him (Napoleon). On the Animal Farm movie poster from 1999 and in the 1954 film, he is depicted as a white pig.
Therefore, Having said that, the fact that Napoleon was viewed as having more character while snowball was not suggests that snowball is creative. It implies that Napoleon was more powerful or innovative.

Read this excerpt from White Fang.
At last [White Fang’s] nose touched the canvas. He waited. Nothing happened. Then he smelled the strange fabric, saturated with the man-smell. He closed on the canvas with his teeth and gave a gentle tug. Nothing happened, though the adjacent portions of the tepee moved. He tugged harder. There was a greater movement. It was delightful. He tugged still harder, and repeatedly, until the whole tepee was in motion.

We tried to reason with her, more to calm ourselves, to catch our breath, than to soothe her:
"She is hallucinating because she is thirsty, poor woman . . . That's why she speaks of flames devouring her . . .”
But it was all in vain. Our terror could no longer be contained. Our nerves had reached a breaking point. Our very skin was aching. It was as though madness had infected all of us. We gave up. A few young men forced her to sit down, then bound and gagged her.

What role does theocracy play in the plot thus far? Remember, a theocracy is a government ruled by God, meaning all reverends are divinely guided by God and rule in the name of him. Which characters demonstrate the effects of theocracy? Explain.
This question is about "The crucible".
Answer and Explanation:
Theocracy is the basis for all administrative and governmental decisions in the whole plot of "The Crucible". In this case, it is believed that the existence of "witches" is causing problems in the city. It is the government's responsibility to end the city's problems, in this case, the theocratic government, like the one in history, seeks to resolve them with teligious justifications.
Although all the characters show theocracy's effects on their personalities, the ones who show this most clearly are those who have government and religious influence in the city, such as Reverend Parris, Herrick, Judge Hathorne and Judge Danforth.
The role that was played by theocracy in the plot was that conflicts were tried to be resolved with religious justifications.
A theocracy is a government that is ruled by God. In the Crucible, the governmental and administrative decisions were based on religious justifications.

Brother Quang says, “One cannot justify war unless each side flaunts its own blind conviction.” Flaunt means to show off Conviction means a strong belief or opinion * Given these definitions, what do you think Brother Quang means?
Answer:
war and conflict between two sides can be justified only when each side accepts to see each other's opinion and perspective.
Explanation:
Given the definitions of the words "flaunt" and "conviction", the above quote by Brother Quang means that war and conflict between two sides can be justified only when each side accepts to see each other's opinion and perspective.
It simply means that war should not take place blindly without understanding the other party's conviction. First both the sides should understand the convictions of each other then only can they justify or resort to war when they don't agree on it.
Answer:
hello
Explanation:
This means that there is no reason to go to war unless both sides of the argument are unable to see and understand what the other side is trying to justify.

Narrative about being judged
Explanation: Being judged is one of the worst possible scenarios in life. Imagine this. You're sitting uncomfortably in that plastic chair, sweat beading around your brow. The tight tie around your neck is suffocating, but you try to make a good first impression. Your body feels as though an iron weight is pulling you down to the ground as a whole, just minutes from being pulled through the floor. You try not to panic, and recite the mantra your friends taught you before the interview. This is your moment. You've been dreaming of this since childhood, but never imagined you'd get this far. Now, all that matters is how the secretary sitting in front of you thinks. He blindly flips through your resume, dull eyes flipping through yellowed pages. His brow was wrinkled and lacked emotion. He looks at you and finally says the words: "I'm sorry, but you're just not what we're looking for. We want this to be an environment where people feel safe and can be aware of that. You're also going to have to catch up with the others. We just can't have someone like you slowing us down." The words strike you like a spear. This had been your dream interview, and you lost it. Many more were to come, only to turn you away. You wonder why. As you sit down on a bench to breathe in your sorrows, a puddle splashed onto the sidewalk in front of you. You're not soaking wet, but your shoes are soggy. You sigh and look down at your reflection. A sad immigrant with nowhere to go. Your parents had already gone out of their way to fund your education. Their savings were depleted, and you were the first in the family to graduate college. You'd be looked down upon in this society either way. The people here don't see you or anyone that looks like you as their equal. It's how it works. It's happened everywhere you've gone. All because of the color of your skin, people judge. But you soldier on. Maybe someday, you'll find your dream job and find the life you've dreamed of. Keep positive thoughts. Life only gets harder, and never easy. It's what built you as a person. As you step into the next office, you have high hopes. You confidently step and put a smile on your face. It's for the best. The glass doors close behind you and you sit on the next bench.
