English

The first metaphor compares defeating Hitler to moving into "sunlit uplands" while the second one compares losing to Hitler to a "new Dark Age."

<h3>The metaphors used by Churchill</h3>

The two metaphors we are analyzing here belong to Winston Churchill's speech "Their Finest Hour." Since this question contains different parts, let's answer each one separately.

First, let's analyze what each metaphor compares. The first metaphor compares defeating Hitler to moving "forward into broad, sunlit uplands." In other words, facing and defeating Hitler means that the world will live peacefully and happily. The image evoked by "sunlit uplands" is one of tranquility and safety.

On the other hand, losing to and being conquered by Hitler is compared to "the abyss of new Dark Age." This image evokes a sense of insecurity, fear, and death. What Churchill means is that the Nazi regime would be devastating is allowed to spread.

Now, let's analyze how the metaphors help fulfill Churchill's purpose of persuading the British people to persevere. By evoking such images, Churchill evokes in his audience the want and the urgency to fight against Hitler. He says, "Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties," implying that all Europeans, but especially the British, have the obligation to defeat Hitler.

Read the excerpt from "The Yellow Wallpaper."
Phoenix [80]

"The Yellow Wallpaper" is short story that was written by American writer Charlotte Perkins Gilman and it was published in 1982. The main purpose of this story was to expose the way that women were viewed and treated during the 19th century, especially when it came to mental and physical health issues. Written in the first person, the story is related in a series of journal entries, in which the main character, whose name we do not learn, tells of the circumstances that surround her when her husband, John decides to move them somehwere where he thinks his wife, the narrator, will be able to be cured from what he terms: temporary nervous depression. So they move to a mansion with Jennie, John´s sister, and settle into a room that had once been a nursery with yellow wallpaper that has been badly scratched. As time passes, the narrator focuses on the wallpaper more and more, until she begins seeing the form of a woman in there. In the end, John comes home one day and after unlocking the door to the room, finds his wife crouched against it, circling it and when she sees him she tells him that she has finally been able to break free despite him and Jane. John passes out and the narrator continues circling the walls without a care. In this excerpt of the story, the narrator is: B: she feels an overwhelming responsibility to meet society´s expectations, because, through the words she uses and the expression, the narrator shows how much shame she feels that her situation, her condition, prevents her from doing what socially she should be doing, which is becoming a support for her husband.

Answer:

Nature is a common Transcendentalist theme that is presented in "Song of Myself" by Walt Whitman.

Explanation:

Nature is a common theme in many English pieces, but it is a deeper theme when it's looked at in a transcendental theme. Before we can talk about this transcendental theme I found in "Song of Myself", what are some other examples of transcendental themes? There are five elements of transcendentalism, which are nonconformity, self-reliance, free thought, confidence, and nature. In my opinion, I found it in my best nature to choose, well, nature, because everyone writes about nature, but in this case, it's a special theme because the nature theme is deeper than normal. It brings a different feeling than it normally does. I found this theme not only in "Song of Myself", but also in a few songs that people still listen to today. An example is "Here Comes The Sun" by The Beatles. The reason is that the song not only sings about the sun, but it also sings about the snow and ice clearing because the sun finally arriving. "Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting; Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear."

Not only that, but the way it's presented is in a transcendental manner. The theme of nature is also present in the poem "Song of Myself, written by Walt Whitman. One of quite a few examples includes, "I bequeathe myself to the dirt, to grow from the grass I love;". He also talks about animals such as birds and hawks. Even the seasons themselves are mentioned as nature, even though each season isn't mentioned one by one. Transcendental themes are themes that are deeply discussed, and the five elements from earlier can be discussed that way. Transcendentalism brings a different feeling than other themes tend to, and so, in conclusion, nature is not only a common theme in songs and common pieces but in transcendental pieces as well.

I hope this helps! Sorry it's a bit late.

What is the relationship between reason and faith, according to Aquinas?
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Reason is subservient to faith.

Explanation:

According to Aquinas,  Reason comprises of things that we know from what we have seen and what we think. From reason we know that God exists. Reason does not require a revelation from God for us to know.

Faith comprises of things that we know from God revelation to us. The revelation can be from the bible or what is being taught in the church. An example of faith is that we know that Jesus died for us so that we would have eternal life.

Faith cannot be known from reason alone but faith builds  on what we know (i.e. reason). Hence Reason is subservient to faith.

Faith and truth are similar and there should be no difference between what faith and reason tells us.
