Coerce means to do something by using force or threats, he wants to force himself into thinking of it but could not achieve it because his muscles were preventing it.

In this case, coerce<span> means the man had to force himself to do something against his own will. At this particular juncture in the story, all four men were exhausted. Even though the men were near land, the correspondent, being the cynic that he was, still believed that there was more yet to endure. His muscles had been overworked to the point where death seemed to be an equally good option to having to swim toward land.</span>

There is not much else to say about the game, except that it went on and on and on. When it finally ended, I was more than ready to get out of  there. The score? Lisa: 311. Janet: 296. Me: 64. Ugh. My sisters, of course, had a great time. already begging me to play

What feeling does bush evoke when he says justice will be done
bazaltina [42]

"Justice will be done" were the words that George Bush said in his speech on September 20, 2001, when the twin towers were demolished by Al - Qaeda terrorists. The feeling evoked by the president of the United States is revenge because in addition to the threat he made to terrorists, he also warns all countries saying that "Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists." Starting the so-called "war against terrorism" that put justice in the hands of the United States and the way to enforce it is weapons.
