Answer:

The short story "Was It a Dream" deals with the theme of illusion against reality. When the narrator spems the night at the cementary, he sees how the dead rise from their tombs to changed the false and hypocritical engraving on their stones. The narrator's lover, whose stone said ‘She loved, was loved, and died,’ changed it for: ‘Having gone out one day, in order to deceive her lover, she caught cold in the rain and died.’”

This shows how people show themselves differently than they really are. And, at the same time, people tend to glorify or even sanctify others, specially after they died, and present to society as something they are or were not.

say you love someone dearly, and you assume the person loves you, but, you find he\she was just playing you and actually loved another. he\she could've been just playing you for your wealth or other things you might have had, so that is when a character would say (possible the following day after sleeping) "was it a dream?" 


a story could possible be having a incredible adventure. after the character awakes he\she will most likely be thinking to her\him self "was it a dream?!"

Based on "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God," which best describes Edwards’s feelings toward his congregation?
Kaylis [27]

Correct answer choice is :


<h2>A) Compassionate</h2><h2 /><h2>Explanation:</h2><h2 />

Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God is a doctrine written by British Colonial Christian theologian Jonathan Edwards, taught to his own group in Northampton, Massachusetts to the strange effect, and again on July 8, 1741, in Enfield, Connecticut. It merges vivid description of Hell with perceptions of the world and indictments of the reality. Edwards's purpose was to teach his audiences about the fears of hell, the hazards of sin, and the terrors of being lost. Edwards explained the shaky position of those who do not follow Christ's urgent call to take forgiveness.

Think of a time when your dreams felt impossible?
gregori [183]

When I was younger my dream was to become a singer, but as I got older I realized that it was never going to happen because for one I don't have a good singing voice and two...I don't even know how to become a singer. But it's all good because eventually I got over that stage and right now when I grow even more older I now want to become a vet because of the passion I have for animals.  ♡

To say that something is "good" or "strong" is not _____.
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

b. objective

Explanation:

To say that someone is 'good' or 'strong' is not objective because it is based on your own values, perceptions and judgement.  So, someone else might have a very different perception of those adjectives based on his own experience and values.

It's not objective, it's subjective, because it depends of the subject (individual) saying those words, on what they define is good, on what they believe is strong and so on.

Objective means it's something that everyone agrees on, that has a general consensus among the population.  For example, saying someone is beautiful/handsome implies your own criteria of beauty, which may or may not be shared by others.  But if you say someone is tall, then it can be measured and quantified to determine if it's really the case or not, it's not dependent on someone's opinion or feelings.
