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.

???????????????????????????????????????????????????
ollegr [7]

Answer:

<u>Mrs. Vann Daan has a tendency to be more wasteful with food.</u>

Explanation:

I'd say this answer is correct, because you can tell based on the passage that instead of putting the food into a glass dish, she just leaves it out to go bad. You can tell that she doesn't really care enough about saving food, so she just leaves it out. Therefore, we can conclude that she has a tendency to be wasteful with food.

PLEASE HELP. GIVING 50 POINTS! for the book Romeo and Juliet. analyze how either the character Friar Lawrence OR nurse develops
Scrat [10]

Friar Laurence decides to marry Romeo and Juliet in the attempt to stop the civil feud between the Capulets and the Montagues. When Romeo is banished for killing Tybalt and flees to Mantua, Friar Laurence tries to help the two lovers get back together using a potion to fake Juliet's death.It can be said that we see Friar Laurence change with respect to how he acts upon his principles. For instance, it is not clear that he truly believes that Romeo and Juliet genuinely love each other. When Romeo first tells Friar Laurence of his love for Juliet, Friar Laurence declares, "young men's love then lies not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes" (Act 2, Scene 2)
