What Paine aimed to illustrate in this fragment of his book <em>Common Sense </em>was the <u>force</u> of the group of men described.

Thomas Paine's <em>Common Sense</em> was directed to the inhabitants of America right before the revolution started, specially to the very numerous middle class, and instigated them to revolt against the English ruling. He explained the negative impacts of the British ways and how their dominance was unecessary. The American population should not be paying taxes to the Brithish or obey their rules. So he asked Americans to come into action and break the British system, which means, to truly start a revolution.

The whole book tries to call upon the force and the strenght of the Americans to initiate a rebellion against the oppresors and to trigger the end of an era. Actually, Thomas Paine (1737-1809) is one of the Founding Fathers of the United States.

In the excerpt, Paine compares a deluge—a torrential downpour—to the actions of a group of men to illustrate their force.

Thomas Paine didn’t agree with the fact that Great Britain has always benefited the colonies and will ever benefit them in the future. Author’s views on this can be summarized from his lines that "Nothing can be more fallacious than this..." he is against the fact that Great Britain should be believed as a benefited in the future too. He opposes the fact that it will provide security and protection to the colonized countries.

Read the following example. What is the effect of the repetition in these lines? And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each p
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

The effect of repetition on these lines is to intensify the meaning of the sentence.

Explanation:

Repetition is a picture of language that is closely related to the syntactic construction of the text. For this reason, it is called a syntax picture. This language picture occurs by repeating terms at the beginning of sentences. It is a stylistic resource widely used by writers in the construction of verses in order to intensify an expression described in the sentence. An example of this can be seen in the excerpt shown in the question, where the lines "Some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door - Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door;" intensify meaning, making the reader feel stronger during reading.

What have you learned about Nick Carraway in the first two chapters of the novel? How might his background color the way he tell
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

this questions are based on personal perspectives of a reader but i will tell you mine.

Explanation:

1) Nick Carraway, the story's narrator, has a singular place within The Great Gatsby. First, he is both narrator and participant. Part of Fitzgerald's skill in The Great Gatsby shines through the way he cleverly makes Nick a focal point of the action, while simultaneously allowing him to remain sufficiently in the background. In addition, Nick has the distinct honor of being the only character who changes substantially from the story's beginning to its end. Nick, although he initially seems outside the action, slowly moves to the forefront, becoming an important vehicle for the novel's messages. nick is a special character as he tells the story without "coloring" it. he simply says his mind and is very transparent to his dealings. if daisy was the narrator the story would sound different and have a whole meaning to it.

2) For the valley of ashes, It represents the moral and social decay that results from the uninhibited pursuit of wealth, as the rich indulge themselves with regard for nothing but their own pleasure. The valley of ashes also symbolizes the plight of the poor, like George Wilson, who live among the dirty ashes and lose their vitality as a result. and the Eyes of Dr T.J. Eckleburg  may represent God staring down upon and judging American society as a moral wasteland, though the novel never makes this point explicitly.
