I am not sure what type of answer you are looking for, but here is my opinion. Yes, Patrick Henry's "Give me liberty or give me death" speech is very effective in that it is persuasive. He is stating if he cannot be given freedom, he would rather be dead. That is evocative language. When one would rather be dead than to go without something, it is emotionally compelling and extremely effective in persuading others to agree with his viewpoint.

I hope this helps you :) Good luck!

explain how lady macbeth's actions in act 5 scene 1 draw meaning from the images of blood darkness and sleep that have run throu
snow_tiger [21]
The image of blood is shown through Lady Macbeth's constant action like she is washing her hands. She exclaims that all of the washing in the world cannot get the blood off her hands. This is almost as if she is seeing her guilt on her hands and trying to clear herself of that guilt. 

Darkness is shown through the fact that Lady Macbeth seems to be afraid of the darkness. The doctor says that she requires a candle to be by her bedside at all times and refuses to be in the dark. 

The idea of sleep, or the loss of sleep is reinforced through this scene as Lady Macbeth is sleepwalking. Right after he commits the murder of Duncan, Macbeth is afraid that he hears whispering in the castle that he has "murdered sleep" and that the house will "sleep no more". The fact that Lady Macbeth is sleepwalking shows that she cannot truly sleep or rest because of the guilt of all the murders.


This scene redeems Lady Macbeth in the eyes of the audience because it shows that she is actually feeling guilt and remorse for the crimes she convinced Macbeth to commit. The fact that she is wrestling so hard with her conscience shows that she understands what she has done, and that type of remorse and guilt can help redeem a character in the eyes of the audience, to see her feel pain for what she's done.

<span>As I know the Sojourner Truth is  an American  abolitionist and women's rights activist. She was born into slavery in  Swartekill,  New York and was one of thirteen children born to James and Elizabeth Baumfree, who were slaves of Colonel Hardenbergh. That is why the theme of the slavery is very important for her and when Sojourner Truth refers to her culture's attitude towards slavery, she's giving personal idea as I think.</span>
