Which part of the excerpt from Voltaire’s candide best develops the theme that different people find value in different things

English

Papessa [141]3 years ago

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although the question is incomplete because it does not include any text of reference, we can say the following.

The part of the excerpt from Voltaire’s Candide best develops the theme that different people find value in different things is this one:<em> "We desire nothing of your Majesty," says Candide, "but a few sheep laden with provisions, pebbles, and the earth of this country." The King laughed. "I cannot conceive," said he, "what pleasure you Europeans find in our yellow clay, but take as much as you like, and great good may it do you."</em>

This surprised the King because he couldn't conceive the idea that Candide would prefer simpler things instead of more fancy ones. But that is true. Different people prefer different things. You do cannot anticipate that people would be happy with luxurious things when maybe they prefer the simple things in life.

This is part of the book "Candide," written by French philosopher Voltaire in 1759.

Write a paragraph for the topic: dogs are loyal. Remember to avoid personal references (and subjective language)
hoa [83]
Dogs are loyal. Dogs, being domestic animals, are overly fond of humans that nurture and care for them that they develop strong feelings of loyalty toward their owners. They are being fed and given shelter by the humans and in turn, they would dedicate their selves to their human owners. Dogs are easily tamed animals as they live among humans and interact with them. Because of this interaction, they develop strong feelings of loyalty. Thus, dogs are loyal because of humans.
