If I were Harrison in exactly the same situation, I would have chosen to save other people. Since Harrison has to be smarter than the rest of the people in the story because of the insane number of handicaps he wears, I think I would have spent time prior to escaping finding a way to free other people of their handicaps and overtaking the government, especially the Handicapper General, Diana Moon Glampers. 
Instead of going on national television to find an empress, I would have escaped underground and found others to help me or I would have found a way to get the weapons/fighters/etceteras to help me actually overthrow the government. I would have tried to find ways to help people celebrate their unique talents while also finding a way to make sure that people aren't discriminated against so that society could be fair to all people and still rich with culture and art and things of beauty.

As the story is told, Harrison and the empress were killed by Glampers, and because of the handicaps, nobody even knows it happened, not even his parents...and it happens on live television! There is no way a revolution could be started if there aren't people to keep the fight going. It makes a lot more sense to overthrow the government first and then find someone to dance with.

For me personally, I would want to use my talents to help other people, and, since the story seems to want the reader to think about how important individuality is, I think I would want my story to be one that embraced my talents and strengths in a way that would really help other people.

Could “age vs. youth” be considered a conflict in Daisy Miller? In a paragraph of at least one hundred words, explain your thoug
MakcuM [25]
Yes, age vs. youth is one of the conflicts in Daisy Miller, in terms of the contrast <span>between youth and elder characters in terms of personality, attitude and ideals in life. However, this is a minor conflict and can be expressed as conflict of traditions and customs instead. Obviously, Daisy Miller is a fun-loving, free-spirited young lady unlike most of the characters who are more serious and uptight. This difference between personality can be due to the fact that Daisy has a very youthful and adventurous persona. She doesn't let the opinion of other people to stop her from living her life, even if it taints her reputation. Daisy is also careless and a bit immature that can be associated with youth, although not at all times. Meanwhile, the older characters are the one disliking the carefree Daisy. This events in the story shows contrast of beliefs and principles of characters in which age influences though not at all times.</span>

In 2 paragraphs, answer the following questions (be sure to give examples)
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

The philosophy of the chinese owning the power of medecin without researching would be extremely helpful because it would cure people from illnesses and greatly reduce the amount of death each day.

The worst one is that the chinese are martial arts fighters which could bring death higher in times of war or corruption because like germany in ww1 this could become greed for control of the countries surrounding it.

The best to learn in the classroom is the history of the ancient chinese millenials because we could learn so much valuable information from them and their backgrounds.
