Change the direct speech into reported speech.

English

Answer:

Direct speech is when we pass the message of the speaker in such a way that the message is in its original state.

Reported speech is when we pass the message of the speaker in our own words, we paraphrase it.

In order to change direct speech into indirect we need to use verb say/s or said , tell/s or told (depends on the tense in direct speech). If we report a question or so, we omit the question mark/exclamation mark and we finish the sentence with a comma.

As for tenses, in indirect speech we use the tense that is one tense behind the used tense (present simple tense in direct speech - past simple tense in indirect speech). Also if the sentence in direct speech presents universal truth, we do not change tense.

We have to use pronouns properly too. If a sentence in direct speech begins with "I", we change it to "he" or "she", so it is a must to pay attention who is the speaker in direct speech.

We also need to change adverb of a sentence if needed. If someone says that he went somewhere yesterday, we change "yesterday" into "the day before" (tomorrow - the next day, here - there, now - then and so on).

The ruling I would make on the charge of treason against John Brown, is guilty. Since the belief in transcendentalism is basically to be living on your own and not living under the government many are able to see how this may be illegal and wrong to the government. This also just gives people the opportunity to do whatever they want whether or not it is good or bad. Also, John Brown was convicted of treason due to the murder of five men and inciting a slave insurrection. I understand where John Brown was coming from, in the fact that slavery is wrong and should have been abolished. But there comes a time where we cannot recreate the actions of our enemies to retaliate, we must bring about a peaceful measure to combat these problems or else we become no better than our enemies. Then there was Ralph Waldo Emerson who just so happened to be a transcendentalist. He believed he did not have to live under the government and pay taxes and follow their society rules. He wrote poetry and he was a essayist he led the transcendentalist movement of the mid-19th century. I don't think transcendentalism is the answer to our problems with the government, it just makes it seem like we are acting like children and pretending the problem isn't there or choosing to ignore everything around us and act like we live in a bubble. This is why I believe John Brown should be guilty.
