Excerpt of Duty, Honor, Country

English
1 answer:
Scrat [10]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: I would contend that the right answer is actually the B) MacArthur wants to impress his listeners; Long wants to make them think.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that the question is asking specifically for the purposes of their respective speeches. It is important to take into account that MacArthur's excerpt is part of an acceptance speech, whereas Long's excerpt is part of a radio address that the politician gave during the Great Depression. MacArthur is praising and commending the military for their work, using, for that purpose, a very poetic and symbolic language ("you are the leaven which binds together...," or "the shadows are lengthening for me. The twilight is here," just to give an example). His is clearly a speech aimed at impressing his listeners. Long, on the contrary, presents a series of facts and he then poses two very straightforward questions, which seem to be directed to those who were running the country at that time. He responds to the first one firmly, but he does not give an answer to the second one, since it is a rethorical question. His speech, therefore, definitely makes you think and reflect upon his words.

Although the poems, "The Lamb" and "The Tyger," address the same concept, the tone is different in each.
denis-greek [22]

"The Lamb" is a poem written by William Blake published in "Songs of Innocence" in 1776. It is the counterpart to another Blake's poem called "The Tyger" which was also published in "Songs of Innocence".

In the first stanzas of "The Lamb", the poem has a naive and innocent tone, with the kid asking the questions with belief and hope that they are going to be answered. The tone of the poem is a gentle one in the first stanzas and a proud one in the second half of the poem, relating to the theme of purity and Christianity and how the child is confident in his believes.

"The Tyger" is the opposite of "The Lamb" when it comes to meaning and tone. It's tone is aggressive, dark, negative and overall serious to talk not only about the beast that the tyger is, but also as a contrast to the purity that the lamb represents, the tyger represents the other side of the same coin, the darkness and primal ferocity that lies in everything.

Put the following events associated with the formation of a Massive Mass Star in order. 1 to 6
Anestetic [448]

Stage 1- Stars are born in a region of high density Nebula, and condenses into a huge globule of gas and dust and contracts under its own gravity.

This image shows the Orion Nebula or M42 .

Stage 2 - A region of condensing matter will begin to heat up and start to glow forming Protostars. If a protostar contains enough matter the central temperature reaches 15 million degrees centigrade.

This image is the outflow (coloured red)and protostar.

Stage 3 - At this temperature, nuclear reactions in which hydrogen fuses to form helium can start.

Stage 4 - The star begins to release energy, stopping it from contracting even more and causes it to shine. It is now a Main Sequence Star.

The nearest main sequence star to Earth, the Sun

Stage 5 - A star of one solar mass remains in main sequence for about 10 billion years, until all of the hydrogen has fused to form helium.

stage 6 - The helium core now starts to contract further and reactions begin to occur in a shell around the core.
