How does the phrase "gives me pleasure" help contribute to a tone of satisfaction in this excerpt?

English

Vinvika [58]4 years ago

This sounds like a multiple choice, but if it isn't I'll just say what I think.

"It gives me pleasure" indicates that he is delighted to announce the news to Congress of the removal of the Native Americans. If we were to take away that section from the passage, it would read something like this:

"The benevolent policy of the Government, steadily pursued for nearly thirty years, in relation to the removal of the Indians beyond the white settlements is approaching to a happy consummation."

Now this sounds cheerful enough, because of the words benevolent (charitable) and happy, but the use of the phrase "gives me pleasure" really sets the tone for the paragraph, and let's you know right away how Jackson is feeling about his announcement.

Little Dorrit Charles Dickens Read the following excerpt from the novel: Chapter 1: Sun and Shadow Thirty years ago, Marseilles
Phoenix [80]

"Descendants from all the builders of Babel, come to trade at Marseilles, sought the shade alike—taking refuge in any hiding-place from a sea too intensely blue to be looked at, and a sky of purple, set with one great flaming jewel of fire"

In this line you can see Marseilles as a place were people suffers. A place too hot to even stare at things as the sun reflection blinds you. The only thing that merely conforts them is seeking for shadow. By the term Babel we know that everyone is form a different place and speak different languages making comunication very difficult. It seems as a place were no one wants to be more than necessary . The sun is described as great flaming jewel of fire, meaning it is extremely hot in there. As you can realize, it is not possible to be confortable in a place like that. As you read you even fell inconfortable.
