Good evening:

This is the 37th time I have spoken to you from this office, where so many decisions have been made that shaped the history of this Nation. Each time I have done so to discuss with you some matter that I believe affected the national interest.

In all the decisions I have made in my public life, I have always tried to do what was best for the Nation. Throughout the long and difficult period of Watergate, I have felt it was my duty to persevere, to make every possible effort to complete the term of office to which you elected me.

Answer:

Old Money vs. New Money in the Great Gatsby

By Paul Thomson

The concept of “new” and “old” money is hard for the average modern reader to understand. In most parts of the country, the term “nouveau riche” isn’t often used, and with the onslaught of new Internet millionaires and billionaires in the last decade, the judgment is certainly no longer there. Today’s America values the self-made man or woman, the “rags to riches” story. A person who makes her own fortune is smart and innovative, an entrepreneur. She’s someone to be admired.

However, this wasn’t always the case. There was a time when building one’s own fortune was considered crude, and only the kind of wealth that came to this country on the Mayflower was valued. In the 1920’s, the East Coast, particularly New England and New York, was a land of haves, have-nots, and have-had-since-long-before-the-haves. This is the setting for F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel, The Great Gatsby.

In Gatsby’s world, the difference between old and new money is not just a theoretical divide, it’s a physical one.

Which of the following events happen before Reverend Hale goes to the Proctor house? in the crucible

Abigail accuses Elizabeth Proctor of trying to harm her through witchcraft.
Thirty-nine people are arrested for witchcraft.

all of the above

Answers

Answer:

All of the above!

The following is taken from the play The Crucible written by Arthur Miller. The play is set in 1640's Salem, Massachusetts. In this play, Abigail along with Mary Warrens and their black slave is being accused to use witchcraft because of which several young girls in the area are becoming ill. A case has been filed against them in the court and Reverend Hale is sent to investigate the situation.

When he reaches the Proctor’s house Abigail accuses Elizabeth Proctor of trying to harm her through witchcraft. In the trail following this event thirty-nine people were arrested for practicing witchcraft. We also discover later in the act that Mary Warrens has given Elizabeth Proctor a poppet. So according to the events following in the play all the above statements are true.

Describe how the author uses flashback to build surprise in the passage. Be sure to use specific details from the passage in your explanation.


In order to get ready for my trip to Paris, I had met with a French woman named Veronique. I had heard she was the best French language tutor in the Los Angeles area, so I had set up appointment to meet her for lessons at her home. As I had entered her house, she told me that she was a native Parisian who had recently moved to the United States and that she desperately missed France. I had told her that I, too, had missed my home. I was born in Sicily, and I had moved to the United States when I was very young. I had always wondered what it would be like if I had stayed in Sicily. Who would my friends be? What college would I have gone to? What if I had stayed in Sicily and had become a scientist or a nurse instead of studying to become a feature filmmaker? There were so many unknowns, and these thoughts always made me resentful.
As Veronique showed me around her home, I had noticed that the bathrooms had shelves of powder puffs and perfume bottles displayed like diamonds on mirrored platters. I had looked at myself in the mirror and thought about how my parents had moved me to this country without much of anything. They did not have an education because they had never had those opportunities back then. They had worked hard, every day, for years, and they had saved enough money to put me through college.
Here I was, an American citizen studying to be a filmmaker. I had already won an independent film award for a documentary I had made, but I still had so much to learn. Now I was on my way to France to learn the French language. It was my dream to be a filmmaker and to visit France. French film was my favorite genre; the style inspired me, and immersing myself in the French culture was the next logical step in my career.
The day I landed in France, I walked around the airport and rolled my luggage past people speaking French. As I attempted to catch a cab, my bag collided with some woman’s high-heeled shoes, and I accidentally almost tripped her.
"Pardon," I quickly said, hoping that she was not hurt. The woman turned to look at me; it was Veronique.
"Is that you, Veronique?" I said.
"Yes,” she replied. "I came for an impromptu visit."
"You are the last person I expected to bump into here," I said, amazed.
"I am just here for a couple of weeks, and then I'll be going back to L.A.," she said, smiling.
I looked over at the taxi stand and said, "Would you like to share a ride?"
"Yes," she said,"but we have to speak French now. You wouldn't want all those lessons to go to waste."
We laughed and shared a cab toward Paris.

B. He seems unaware that his decisions are the cause of all of the
problems
C. He appears to be speaking to the Senate in an official capacity
D. He makes the audience feel sorry for the people who are suffering,
SUBMIT

Answers

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

it's not A or C because that is giving stats and shows that he is in a higher power so people trust them more. Him causing people to feel sad doesn't make him an unreliable source so we are left with B

He seems unaware that his decisions are the cause of all of the problems. The correct option is B.

What is unreliable narrator?

An untrustworthy narrator is a character in a novel, play, or other literary work who tells the story but cannot be trusted for accuracy or honesty.

The term "untrustworthy narrator" usually implies that the narrator's statements and actions may not accurately reflect the true state of affairs, either because they are ignorant or deliberately deceptive.

T. Coraghessan Boyle wrote the short story "Top of the Food Chain" to show how mean and selfish human nature is with nature.

This is the purpose of the narrator who goes telling the story of how all his selfish decisions affected his surroundings and shows his indifference to that problem.

Thus, the correct option is B.

What effects does the speaker believe that memories of the scene will have later in life, especially during difficult times?
help
the poem is Lines Composed a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey​

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

In William Wordsworth's poem "Lines Composed a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey," the speaker believes the memories of this moment he and his sister are experiencing together will bring them joy and peace.

The poem is a type of epiphany since the speaker is now realizing how to truly appreciate nature's beauty. He sees the grass, the flowers, and trees from a different, more mature and reflective perspective now. And he believes the memory of this place and moment will forever bring him and his sister a sense of happiness. Even if difficult times lie ahead, they can always return to that place in their minds:

"Thy memory be as a dwelling-place

For all sweet sounds and harmonies; oh! then,

If solitude, or fear, or pain, or grief,

Should be thy portion, with what healing thoughts

Of tender joy wilt thou remember me..."

As evidenced from lines 144 to 148 of the poem, the writer captures the thoughts of the narrator, who is as though he is experiencing some sort of discovery of the beauty of nature for the first time.

The narrator, with a lot of statements that personifies his experience and its memory, therefore, states that the memory will become for him in times of fear, grief, or pain, a dwelling place.

The memories are even likened to healing thoughts in line 147.
