How does Kennedy’s word choice affect the tone and meaning of this excerpt from the passage? While the wall is the most obvious

and vivid demonstration of the failures of the Communist system, for all the world to see, we take no satisfaction in it, for it is, as your Mayor has said, an offense not only against history but an offense against humanity, separating families, dividing husbands and wives and brothers and sisters, and dividing a people who wish to be joined together. The phrase “obvious and vivid” sets an aggravated tone and suggests Kennedy is weary of standing up to communism. The phrases “brothers and sisters” and “joined together” suggest a peaceful tone and highlight the need for cooperation with communists. Repetition of the word “offense” develops an angry tone and emphasizes the destructiveness of communism. Repetition of the word “dividing” creates a frustrated tone and suggests Kennedy is prepared to take action against communists.

Answer:

The excerpt provided in the question belongs to a speech President Kennedy gave in West Berlin on June 26th, 1963. The President's word choices such as "failures", "world to see", "obvious", "offense against humanity" "dividing" help to set the tone and meaning of his speech. Kennedy addressed the audience in Berlin, but also the world, to express the support given by the United States to West Berlin against the wall that the Soviet Union had built. He uses repetition, for example with the word offense, to give a clear message on how the communist system is attacking the freedom of the world and of all of Berlin's citizens, and how democracy is the only solution to the separation of families and communities that want to be together.

TANGLED-UP WORDS
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

1) Imaginary

2) Campfires

3) Tale

4) Orchard

5) Scoops

6) Legends

7) Adventures

8) Wilderness

9) Beginnings

10) Ability

Explanation:

1) Ordinary and imaginary sound the same. Also, 'imaginary' character makes more sense.

2) These stories are told around 'campfires' is more appropriate and sounds a little like cameras.

3) Tail is a body part of animals so this is completely wrong. The author means a story here so tale is the word that fits well.

4) Orchard of apples is correct because a garden full of trees is called an orchard.

5) Holes are scooped out and not scared out.

6) Legend is the right word that fits here. Also, ledges and legend sound almost similar.

7) Alligators should be replaced with adventures because the author is basically talking about adventures.

8) Adventures are usually done in wilderness and not windowsills.

9) The author is trying to talk about the history of the countries so beginnings is the right word.

10) The talent of telling story is better described by the word ability instead of enemy.
