Answer: The right answer is the A) Restoration.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little bit on the answer, it can be added that the name of this literary era refers to the period in English history when the monarchy was restored (for the previous eleven years England had not had a king) and a new socio-political order was established. It began in 1660, and it led to significant political, social, and religious changes. The theatres reopened—they had been closed during the previous Puritan government—and new plays and works were created. Restoration literature is very diverse, and it does include lavish, witty and lighthearted comedies that were performed for courtiers and members of the upper class in stunning playhouses. Social criticism, seduction, and infidelity were recurring themes in these plays, and, as a result of that, as well as of the presence of female actresses on stage, references to sexuality were very common. John Dryden (1631–1700) was one of the greatest playwrights of the era.

What does this quote mean to you? And what was this quote intended to portray?
dedylja [7]
To me it means as a sign for inspiration and honor, and i believe the way the quote was intended to portray is-- Without America fighting for their freedom, risking everything and every life, they wouldn't have been known as people who took a stand and fought for what they deserved. It stands in history as monument to everyone around the world that freedom is always hard fought, but without the courage and the strength to truly want what you feel you deserve and therefore earned....be prepared to lose everything.

Why would someone disagree that "real men don't cry?" Explain
Nesterboy [21]

A reason is that every single human being cries, no matter what gender or what age. How would a man feel if their mother passed away? They would feel an emotion to cry, release their sadness in some way. And that way, the most normal way, is to cry. Every man - I guarantee has cried at some occasion. Since that's the way the body works, all humans will cry no matter what gender they are. And there is also no such thing as real men. Just because a man will not step up to fight someone or will avoid another man it does not mean they are not a real man. And just by common sense there is no such thing as real men all men are real mean!

Read this excerpt from Vachel Lindsay’s “In Praise of Johnny Appleseed.”
irinina [24]

D.) illustrate Appleseed’s humble station.

The different comparison in this excerpt all show that Johnny Appleseed does not have much. Monks do not have wordly possessions and neither do Hindu sages. His hat is described as an old tin pan rather than something more glorious. This all shows that Appleseed has a humble station in life. Humble means to show that you feel you have low importance in life. The lack of wealth description shows this low standing.
