Answer: The speech that your are talking about is about the need for volunteers to serve in the army at the time.

Explanation: The reason I can summarize this is because the first thing he said is "the proclamation calling for volunteers to serve in the army of the united states." which is basically a fancy way of saying he is obligated by his country to ask for more people to start joining the army. The second thing is that he asks for at least 125,000 soldiers to join to fight for the cause, in order to protect the homeland. Then he signs off by saying that he will immediately be contacting the war department to check how many people listened to his request.

What is the role of literature in understanding the human condition?
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

The "human condition" is an important part of our understanding of literature. Literary critics often label a piece of writing as literature - and not pulp fiction - if it tries to describe this "human condition". According to Reference.Com, this concept "refers to anything unique about being human, no matter the gender, race or religion of the person". We are a species that, no matter our individual differences, shares common challenges, questions and charactersitics.

Essentially, the discussion of the human condition is any thematic concern about human nature, human society or how we live our lives. In other words, it's about the fundamental issues of human existence. One of literature's central concerns is to comment on these issues; it might be better at it than psychology or philosophy!

If you are asked to make a theme statement about a piece of writing, the easiest way to identify a theme is to look for some challenge to the human condition. Look for common problems or conflicts that any person might face sometime in his or her life.

So let's be more specific. What kind of issues connected to "human nature, human society or how we live our lives" are we talking about? Well, it can mean MANY different things! Here are a few examples that come to mind:

How We Live Our Lives

-What is the good life?

-How do parents act towards their children?

-How do we deal with death?

-How do we deal with alienation from those around us?

-Should we conform or be original?

-How do we become adults? What is the process of maturation?

-What is the relationship between different generations or genders?

-How do we deal with excessive poverty or wealth?

Human Nature

-Are we naturally evil or good?

-Are we born with inherited traits or are we a "blank slate"?

-What's more important for human beings? Law and order or freedom?

-Are we determined by our genetic structure, environment, etc., or do we have free will ?

-Are we naturally social beings or are we individuals first?

-Can we know universal truths?

-Are we selfish or altruistic?

Human Society

-What's the best way to live together?

-Should we care for the weak and poor, or let them fend for themselves?

-What is a natural society: equality or hierarchy?

-Is civilization positive or negative?

-How should society treat the environment?

Some authors will merely describe these issues, while others will provide their particular perspective and beliefs.

So, when looking for a commentary on the human condition in your readings, look for these central thematic issues. You won't find them, say, in James Bond novels, but most of the prose and poetry you'll read in English classes will have this element.

Now that you’ve read act1 scene 1 of Shakespeare’s play Richard 3 write an objective summary of the events in this scene
exis [7]
Short Summary: Richard (Gloucester) informs the audience of his emotional state and his plan to take over the throne. 

Long Summary: 
Richard III, at this point just the Duke of Gloucester, comes out to give the audience some insight into his state of mind and also the actions that have been happening before the play started. Even though the kingdom is in a state of peace, Richard isn't happy about it. He shares with the audience his plan to dethrone his brother (Edward IV), the current king, so that he can become king himself. The first thing he plans is to use rumors to make Edward (who is ill) suspicious of Clarence, their other brother.

Clarence enters, surrounded by guards because Richard's rumors have started to take hold, to be escorted to the Tower of London to be imprisoned. Richard uses this conversation to pretend he feels bad for Clarence and suggest that the rumors were started by Edward's wife Elizabeth or his mistress Lady Shore. He says to Clarence that he is going to try to get him free, but then when Clarence leaves he says to the audience that he is so happy to see him in prison.

Lord Hastings is the next to enter, just recently freed from the Tower. Richard informs him that Edward is sick and when Hastings leaves Richard tells the audience how happy he is about Edward's illness. He needs Clarence to die first so that he becomes the legal heir, then when Edward dies he will take the throne. Additionally, Richard wants to convince Lady Anne to marry him. His family was responsible for killing her previous husband (Henry VI, the former king), but Richard is excited to get her to marry him anyway.
