It means that if you arent doing anything when you can see that people are being unfairly treated then you might as well be on the oppressors side because you aren't helping, it's important to speak up to raise awareness for the unjust and to let others know that you are there for them, silence means complicity because again you are not making an effort to help others when you know that what's happening to them is wrong. if you're silent about important events then that implies you don't really care about the oppressed. example, if you saw somebody being bullied and didn't do anything about it when you could've then you'd be labeled a bystander who doesn't couldn't care less about the victim, however if you spoke up you could help to stop the situation and the bully would get punished and probably stop doing it again

Read the sentences below from “Federigo’s Falcon.” Describe how each sentence’s diction affects your feelings about the story an
miskamm [114]

Answer:The first sentence describes how Federigo lived happily after his marriage. However, I do not feel that Federigo is truly in love with his wife. The references to his “wealthy” wife and his better managed “financial affairs” give me the impression that Federigo lacks passion.

Rewritten sentence: He was married to the woman he loved, and she was also very rich. His situation motivated him to manage his money more wisely, and he had a happy life with her.

The second sentence tells the reader that Monna Giovanna “commended,” or praised, Federigo for the “greatness of his spirit” despite having “lost all hope of getting the falcon” and “improving the health of her son.” She also “reproached” (gently scolded) Federigo for killing the Falcon. These words show that Monna is a gentle and sensitive person, and yet she has a strong spirit. Many people in her situation would have lost control and shouted or wept in this situation. However, Monna praises and thanks Federigo for his “good will” and accepts her son’s fate.

Rewritten sentence: When she realized Federigo had killed the falcon, she gently scolded him. But secretly she thought that he had acted in an honorable manner, despite being poor. She thanked Federigo for his generosity to her. She was sad as she returned to her sick son because with the falcon dead, she had no hope of saving his life.
