He highlights the military measures the British are taking, which has a rhetorical effect.

What is meant by Connotative language ?

The American Colonies experienced turbulence in 1775. Massachusetts was subject to heavy British restrictions as a result of the Intolerable Acts; communities were choosing to boycott British products; and British soldiers were showing up more often in the American Colonies. You will study a well-known speech by Second Virginia Convention delegate Patrick Henry (1736–1799) in this course.

Many of Henry's fellow delegates wanted to hold off on taking any action until the American Colonies' discussions with the British were concluded in 1775. Henry, however, believed that waiting would be a big mistake. He requested on March 23, 1775, that the Virginia Convention immediately adopt a defensive posture toward Great Britain by forming an armed company in each county of Virginia. This request was seen by many as plain treason. Henry made demands in his address that were considerably more radical than those of his fellow delegates in public, but he did so on the premise that the British would soon take even more forceful military action.

How does knowing Greek mythology help expand your vocabulary?
docker41 [41]

Answer:

Knowing Greek mythology helps us expand our vocabulary because:

A. Some words that we use today were used by characters in Greek myths.

Explanation:

There are words and expressions commonly seen and used in today's English that actually come from Greek myths and epic poems. Therefore, knowing about Greek mythology can help us understand the origin and meaning of those words. For instance, if you know about the hero Achilles, you will easily understand the expression "Achilles heel". If you have an Achilles heel, that means you have a weakness. That expression comes from the myth, where the hero Achilles, who was indestructible, had only one weakness - his heel. Only by being hit by an arrow in his heel is Achilles defeated.
