Explanation:

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.

Answers

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.

This implies that the reverends are divinely guided by God. In the Crucible,

the problems in the city were resolved through theocracy. Reverend Parris and Judge Danforth used religion in resolving issues.

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.

Read this excerpt from “First Generation” of Dreaming in Cuban.

Square by square, she searches the night skies for adversaries then scrutinizes the ocean, which is roiling with nine straight days of unseasonable April rains.

What is the meaning of the underlined word?

Answers

Answer:

B. enemies or antagonists

Explanation:

"Dreaming in Cuban" is a novel written by Cristina Garcia and it tells the story of three generations of a Cuban family, Cuban revolution, family affairs, emigration etc.

In this particular excerpt I can't seem to find the underlined word, but judging by given answers, I'm assuming it's a noun and "adversaries" seem like the only noun whose meaning might be unfamiliar to many.

Basically, adversary means antagonist, if we're talking about literature or film, the rival of the main character. In a broader sense, it denotes a rival, an enemy, person or thing that opposes someone.

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?

Answers

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.
