Answer: Government can act as an impediment to the will and morality of individual men.

In his essay "Civil Disobedience," Thoreau defends the importance of following one's own will and morality, even when this is opposed to the law. He believes that, sometimes, the government can pass laws that differ from what people know in their heart to be true. When this happens, the people are obligated to act morally, regardless of what the law says. Therefore, it is better if the government governs very little, because this problem will arise less often.

Nora lies to Torvald about macaroons, about working to pay off a loan, and about borrowing money without his consent. How does N
never [62]

Answer:

How does Nora view her own deception:

I am not sure, I am sorry. But I gave you the answer to the second question. Hopefully, you get the answer from the first question by someone else.

Why does she lie:

Nora lies to Torvald about the macaroons because she feels the need to maintain her dignity and self-respect, while catering to her own desires. She lied about the loan because in the story it is said how you need you husbands consent to borrow a loan, which she did not have. So, she did it secretly.

The sentence from the deciver unmasked is the best example of an emotional appeal, Or an appeal to the Audience’s feelings
mezya [45]

Hello. You did not enter the sentence to which the question refers, which makes it impossible for that question to be answered. However, I can help you by showing you what an emotional appeal is that directly targets the audience's feelings. This way you will be guided to interpret the sentence and find your answer.

Pathos is the term that refers to the moment when an actor writes a sentence to appeal to the audience's emotional. This sentence will not present logical facts to convince the public about something, but it will be a sentimental sentence, which will try to attract and shape the public's attention through the proliferation of feelings. This sentence can have a melancholy, happy, empathic, patriotic, nationalist, hateful content, among others that make the reader "feel" something and not, necessarily, reason about something.

Here's an example:

In the phrase "street animals have nothing to eat, soon they will look for food in the domestic waste, to satisfy hunger" the author used an appeal to logic, to present an increase. If an animal is hungry, it will logically look for food.

On the other hand, the phrase "I could see in the animals' countenance the hunger and sadness that the environment in which they lived imposed on him. Thin, crestfallen and without hope, they wag their tails and give sad looks to everyone who passed by," the author makes a appeal to the emotional, because it causes pity, sadness and empathy, for the situation of the animals.
