How does thoreau use a parallelism in this passage? yet this government never of itself furthered any enterprise, but by the ala

crity with which it got out of its way. it does not keep the country free. it does not settle the west. it does not educate. the character inherent in the american people has done all that has been accomplished; and it would have done somewhat more, if the government had not sometimes got in its way.?

Answer:

  • To draw attention to what the American people do that the government doesn't .

Explanation:

Parallelism is the redundancy of a particular sentence or linguistic structure.

In this section, the parallelism is "It does not keep the country free. It does not settle the West. It does not educate." These are everything that the American individuals have done, however the government hasn't.

Parallelism underscores this rundown and attract attention regarding it. By listing the things in the negative, it further demonstrates that the administration did not do these things.

In at least 100 words explain what the concept of American Exceptionalism means and how it first came about.
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

American exceptionalism is a view of the United States of America that the country sees its history as inherently different from that of other nations, stemming from its emergence from the American Revolution, becoming what the political scientist Seymour Martin Lipset called "the first new nation" and developing a uniquely American ideology, "Americanism", based on liberty, equality before the law, individual responsibility, republicanism, representative democracy, and laissez-faire economics. This ideology itself is often referred to as "American exceptionalism." Second is the idea that America has a unique mission to transform the world. President Abraham Lincoln stated in the Gettysburg address during the American Civil War, in reference to the preservation of the United States itself, Americans have a duty to ensure, "government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." Third is the sense that America's history and its mission give it a superiority over other nations.

Walking by a lane of truth
Running past a road of lies
To see the details of my youth
In which I hear my cries

Looking back I know I tried my best
But more potential could have seeped
Regardless I know have been blessed
As I see myself taking that last leap

Growing as the girl that I was
I see the Spring in my presence
To which there is no pause
Of the blossom in my essence

"The laughing wind skipped through the village, teasing trees until they danced with anger, as the silly dog with golfball eyes
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
"The laughing wind skipped through the village" So the the wind was harsh and loud, "Teasing trees until they danced with anger" meaning as the wind blew hard the trees as well swayed hard, and a very happy dog runs through the grass. Its using personification and extensive adjectives to turn a plain statement into something more exciting and mysterious. ((Hoped i helped a little bit))
