Answer: "I have not yet begun to fight!"
Explanation:
Both the Renaissance and the Reformation challenged traditional thinking that had been dominated by church authorities for centuries. This set a pattern for the commitment to reasoning and inquiry that characterized the Scientific Revolution and then also the Enlightenment (which championed Scientific Revolution thinking).
Some details about the Renaissance:
- The rise of humanism in Italy is associated with the period in history, from the 14th to 16th centuries, that we call "The Renaissance." Renaissance means a rebirth -- and a big part of what was being reborn in the Italian Renaissance was the classical culture and scholarship of Greece and Rome. Scholars were unearthing many of the old writings of Greek and Roman philosophers, historians, and statesmen. These writings -- from pagan societies -- showed the deep thinking and great acts human beings were capable of prior to the rise of Christian society in Europe. This prompted humanist scholars in Italy (and elsewhere) to give focus to the full range of human capabilities -- in art, architecture, scholarship and writing, etc. Renaissance humanists began to question many of the church's traditional beliefs and practices. They re-framed thinking about human beings' status in God's world. Whereas church-dominated culture prior to the Renaissance focused mostly on the sinfulness and lowness of human beings in contrast to the greatness of God, the humanism of the Renaissance emphasized the greatness of human beings as God's creation. Individuals were encouraged to be all they could be, learn all they could learn, do all they could do as "Renaissance men."
Some details about the Protestant Reformation:
- The Protestant Reformation began with Martin Luther's posting of what are commonly called "The 95 Theses." Luther's theses for debate challenged the church's use of indulgences. Indulgences, by the authority of the pope, granted people the removal of penance owed in regard to their sins. Luther objected not only to the fact that these papers were being peddled for money, but questioned many of the doctrinal foundations behind the use of indulgences. As Luther continued his reform efforts, he protested not only indulgences, but the revering of relics, prayers to saints, the authority of the pope, and most especially, the church's teaching on how people become righteous in the eyes of God. Other reformers, such as Ulrich Zwingli and John Calvin, also became part of the Protestant Reformation activity.
Answer:
a. In conclusion, due to the vast catalog and the fact that Stephen King is still writing, it is impossible to declare that any of Stephen King’s works as his best.
Explanation:
The conclusion paragraph is the restatement of the main argument(s) made in the essay. This means that whatever has been discussed in detail in the essay's body paragraphs, the conclusion merely sums up and restates the main point(s).
And on that note, the best start of a conclusion paragraph about Stephen King's best work will be to state that there cannot be any best work by the author as he is still actively writing novels, thereby making it possible to produce better works in the coming future too.
Thus, the correct answer is option a.
Answer:
The Emancipation Proclamation granted freedom to the slaves in the Confederate States, if the States did not return to the Union by January 1, 1863. Do to this proclamation, the slaves could be freed, but only if they won the war. However, in a way the Emancipation Proclamation changed the meaning and purpose of the war. The war was no longer just about preserving the Union, it was also about giving the slaves a chance to be free and live somewhat normal lives. Unfortunately, Britain and France lost their keenness for supporting the Confederacy. The Emancipation Proclamation changed the course of the war because slave will desire to fight for the north once they are liberated and England and France will no longer help the south in the war because they want slavery.
