Village life in America and A Confederate Girl’s Diary
Both
diaries, Village life in America and A Confederate Girl’s Diary, are very
interesting in the way that they are written. Sarah Morgan Dawson and Caroline
Cowles Richards both have written about the Civil war, however they have very
different perspectives and opinions about it.
Here
are some similarities. Both girls were going through a time of war. They both
despised the war and wanted it to end as soon as possible. They have both gone
through moments of fear and misery, but also happiness and pleasure at
sometimes. They have both lost family members and friends that they have loved.
Both females were reporting and observing what was happening around them and
they were very good writers too. At the end of the war, both Dawson and
Richards were very glad the war was over.
There
were also a few differences with the two diaries too. The biggest difference is
that Richards is on the unions side while Dawson is on the Confederates side.
Dawson was devasted at the loss of her side. “Thursday the 13th came the
dreadful tidings of the surrender of Lee and his army on the 9th. Everybody
cried”. Richards was triumphant at the win of her side. “Lee has surrendered!
and all the people seem crazy in consequence. The bells are ringing, boys and
girls, men and women are running through the streets wild with excitement”.
Finally, Richards seems more like a calm and funny person while Dawson looks
for revenge "Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord." This
is murder! God have mercy on those who did it!”.
To
sum it all up both diaries were very different even though they were written
and the same time. Both girls were strong throughout the civil war, though the
lost several family members. In the end Richards was very happy that her side
won the war while Dawson was devastated at her sides loss.\

If it helped Please mark as brainliest
Answer:
She used Imagery.
Imagery can be defined as the use of figurative languages to represent ideas, objects, and actions in such a way that it appeals to our physical senses.
The writer's use of this literary device will help the audience to understand that the way something looks may be described through the use of figurative languages (name calling).
The writer wants the audience to know that this name calling is indicative of their age. It is something that "children" do when they cannot think of anything else to argue but don't want to lose the linguistic war they have with each other through silence. She helps us to see that children believe that the name calling can hurt another child as much as anything else they could say or do, and it did hurts.
Answer:
These lines are quoted from the play "Cyrano de Bergerac" and said by the main protagonist Cyrano de Bergerac, addressed to Busybody.
Explanation:
These lines are from the play "Cyrano de Bergerac" by Edmond Rostand. It revolves around the hidden love story of the protagonist Cyrano for his cousin Roxane. But it did not have a happy ending nor is it a happy love story but rather a tragic story of hidden love.
The lines are said by Cyrano about his nose in Scene I. iv. He has a huge nose which prevents him from being confident and openly proclaiming his feelings for Roxane. Here, he is seen proudly boasting in front of everyone that his nose is better than anyone's, that "<em>a fine nose is the unfailing mark of a fine man, witty, good-natured, brave,/ Courteous and forgiving</em>." But in reality, he was conscious about it and thus had to hide his feelings for Roxane too.
