Answer:

Whence true autoritie in men; though both Not equal (line 295)

Hee for God only, shee for God in him (line 299).

Explanation:

In John Milton's epic poetry "Paradise Lost", is written in blank verse. This poem is based on the Biblical story of Adam and Eve, the fall of man and the temptation by Satan.

From the given excerpt from the poem, the two lines

Whence true autoritie in men; though both Not equal (line 295)

Hee for God only, shee for God in him (line 299)

gives support to the claim that Satan perceived women as inferior to men. by claiming that true authority is given to men and the two sexes not equal. Then, he also said that man is for God while a woman is for the man who is like a god figure for her. So, god is above man and man is in turn above woman.

In this excerpt, we can cleary see how Satan perceived men as superior than women because he claims in favour of men using big and good adjectives to describe them, adjectives related to strong people and so on. Inteasted, he describes women with soft adjectives treating them as delicated people, warm, affectionate ones, leading to believe they can not be strong as men. To support this, we can use the following lines: "<em>The image of their glorious Maker shon, Truth, Wisdome, Sanctitude severe and pure, Severe, but in true filial freedom plac't; Whence true autoritie in men; though both Not equal, as their sex not equal seemd;"</em>

<h3>Antithesis and Allusion as Rhetorical devices</h3>

An allusion put simply, is when one hints at something and expect the other person to understand what we are referencing.

Hence, it follows particularly from the line; "You know Donna Weems as the Shakespeare of our school" that the rhetorical device is; Allusion.

What evidence do Gerstel and Sarkisian give that social class is even more important than ethnicity in understanding differences
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

As per Gerstel and Sarkisian, the social class is more significant than ethnicity to understand the dissimilarities between family ties as well as the behavior of ethnic groups. <em>To substantiate their claim, they have compared the distinct ethnic groups and developed a database that helped in examining the distinctions in the practical, financial, and emotional relationships of each group and this also supported their claim</em>. It contains critical distinction to the authors because their assumptions lack a universal approach and apply to certain conditions.
