Read the excerpt from a speech that British Prime Minister Winston Churchill made shortly after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. What

is Churchill’s intention with this part of the speech?
This is a strange Christmas Eve. Almost the whole world is locked in deadly struggle, and, with the most terrible weapons which science can devise, the nations advance upon each other. Ill would it be for us this Christmastide if we were not sure that no greed for the land or wealth of any other people, no vulgar ambition, no morbid lust for material gain at the expense of others, had led us to the field. Here, in the midst of war, raging and roaring over all the lands and seas, creeping nearer to our hearts and homes, here, amid all the tumult, we have tonight the peace of the spirit in each cottage home and in every generous heart. Therefore we may cast aside for this night at least the cares and dangers which beset us, and make for the children an evening of happiness in a world of storm. Here, then, for one night only, each home throughout the English-speaking world should be a brightly-lighted island of happiness and peace.

A.
to remind people about the evils surrounding them
B.
to promote happiness and peace during the Christmas season
C.
to encourage more support for the war
D.
to push for the United States and Britain to become one country

The correct answer is option letter B (to promote happiness and peace during the Christmas season). After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the <em>British Prime Minister Winston Churchill</em> flew to Washington, D.C. in order to meet <em>President Franklin Roosevelt</em> and discuss how the two countries (Britain and the United States) could coordinate strategy in the wake of Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor. Since he was away from Britain, Churchill broadcast to the world from the White House and the purpose of his speech was <u>to dedicate the night and holiday to children</u>. Churchill wanted the people to celebrate the night without the cares of war, especially the children (“<em>Let the children have their night of fun and laughter</em>”). The rest of the options are incorrect because they are a misunderstanding of the text (A, C), or an action that has already happened, that is, the union of Britain and the United States (D).

PART A: Which sentences describes the main theme of the short story? of the story "Charles"
k0ka [10]

Answer:

A. Children sometimes act out when they’re attempting to figure out who they are.

Explanation:

The short story "Charles" by Shirley Jackson tells the story of a young boy Laurie who makes up the character of Charles as a reason for the problem in school. He makes up his alter ego Charles to justify the acts done in school and most probably, his actions in school.

The story tells Laurie who would always tell stories of his friend Charles doing this and that, hitting others, disobeying the teacher, getting punished, etc. The narrator, being the mother of Laurie, was not impressed with her child's schoolmate. So, she decided to find out Charles' mother in an attempt to find out more about hi, only to be told that there is no Charles in the kindergarten. This seems to suggest to the bigger picture that children act out when they are attempting to figure out their own identity.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Read the passage describing Achilles: "Thus while he roused the fire in every breast, Close and more close the listening cohorts
TiliK225 [7]

The extended simile in the passage is: As when a circling wall the builder forms, Of strength defensive against wind and storms, Compacted stones the thickening work compose, and round him wide the rising structure grows.


A simile is a figure of speech that compares one thing from another thing of a different kind. It adds meaning to the text because it emphasizes the:


a. Strength of the wall - which is likened to being a barrier that can be used as protection from wind and storms.


b. Size of the structure - which was built with hours of hard work and construction materials that can withstand such great forces of war.
