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

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.

The correct answer is A. She contemplates killing both Pearl and herself to escape their torment.
She is living in a Puritan society which is there to judge her every move - so when she cheats on her presumably dead husband, and gives birth to a girl, obviously her life turns to hell (even though it is mostly self-inflicted). She wants to escape that hell through death, which she would give to both herself and her daughter.

Answer:

Personification.

Explanation:

The Soldiers are being personified as chess pieces in the passage. What the commanders are referencing is that they are in an intense battle and have little care or thought for the soldiers.

They are merely the pieces in which the Commanders Strategy is carried out through. The Soldiers have no idea that this is happening.

abruzzese [7]

Abraham Lincoln adressed the American people with a speech that, as a side fact, is one of the most quoted speeches in the history of the U.S.

Over the years scholars have analyzed the speech, and they suggest that Lincoln used extreme care with his words. He wanted to deliver a heartfelt and precise message in moments of extreme national crisis. The magnitude of the battle in Gettysburg stunned the whole nation, and the dedication of a cementery at the site of the Civil War's most pivotal battle was seen as a solemn event, that empathized with the whole nation.

He placed this battle within the larger context of the American history, by making reference 87 years before to it's foundation. Lincoln sought to transform America by making an attempt at redefining liberty and nationalism by fusing the two together. Lincoln forever changed the way we think about the country.
