English

ikadub [295]3 years ago
6 0
Thoreau was greatly opposed to military efforts such as the Mexican-American War but he was not inherently a pacifist. He believed it was in an individuals rights to choose not to support a war effort that they believed to be unjust. Therefore, it could be argued that he would support an individuals war efforts if the war was believed to be just and valued for the people, but if not then he would not support a soldiers service to the country through the military.

Vonnegut uses satire to expose which societal
Tasya [4]

Answer:

I believe it's the last one.

Explanation:

One needs to look now farther than the first paragraph to realize that Vonnegut's tale is laced with irony and satire.  The strongest hint is when he mentions that there are over 100 ammendments in the Constitution.  All these ammendments are designed to make society "perfect."  Later on George and his wife Hazel are discussing how George's handicaps, the bags of birdshot tied to his legs, are terribly inconvenient and painful.  Hazel suggests George break a law and remove the bags since he isn't competing against anyone at home.  George replies that if he broke the law so would others and they'd end up right back in the "Dark Ages".  These examples depict there is no such thing as a perfect society.  Equality does not bring about perfection and competition is essential for a thriving economy.  In every society there are winners and losers.  

Sorry if i'm wrong.

Hello!!!!! Read the following excerpt from a speech by a national leader:
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

If you want to appeal to an audience, the best way is to make them have an attachment to what you are saying. By having them imagine their <em>own</em> families free, they will relate more to the speech and national leader.
