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.

Hello. Your question is incomplete, so it is not possible to answer it accurately. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

It is only possible to know the theme and support details of your text by reading it. In this case, to answer this question, you must recognize the main theme of your text (which is the main message that the text wants to send). After recognizing the topic, it is possible to find the support details, because these details are additional information that explain or prove the main topic.

The narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass
crimeas [40]

Answer:Editor’s note

This version of Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass was adapted from The Project Gutenberg EBook of The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, by Frederick Douglass. The Guttenberg file does not tell us which witness was used in making their digital edition. The edition below is only a slightly modified version of the Guttenberg text, and therefore should not be taken too seriously as an edition. I use the text mostly to show a few affordances of using Ed for long form narrative. This page, for example, showcases a different sidebar than the rest of our sample site, with a table of content of the novel generated out of metadata in the source file. In addition, reading morsels of the novel on your different devices can give you a sense of the experience of reading prose using Ed, and shows you an example of the optional sidebar with a table of contents. A few other features of this page are described in more detail in the Documentation.

                              WEARING SCHOOL UNIFORM

                                    By xxxxxxx ( your name )

School Uniform is basically a dress code that you wear to school. It is different in each and every school. Every school has a Dress code. School Uniforms can be beautiful, colorful, formal, etc. Wearing school uniform can have many physical and mental effects on students. Wearing school uniform will create a sense of equality in school. Studies have shown that studying while wearing school uniforms can give the student, more focus to study. Wearing school uniform will allow the students to be more formal and learn to wear what dress at a particular event or time or place. Although there are many advantages for wearing school uniforms, there are many disadvantages as well. School Uniforms are often very costly and some parents cannot afford to buy the school uniform. Also for some students, this idea won’t be good if they are interested in Fashion, arts, etc. So to sum up wearing school uniforms has many advantages as well as disadvantages.

Hope this helps you mate.

Good Day!
