Examine the usage of the words bequeath and posterity in this excerpt from Thomas Paine's Common Sense. Then complete the senten

ces that follow. The authority of Great Britain over this continent, is a form of government, which sooner or later must have an end: And a serious mind can draw no true pleasure by looking forward, under the painful and positive conviction that what he calls "the present constitution" is merely temporary. As parents, we can have no joy, knowing that this government is not sufficiently lasting to ensure any thing which we may bequeath to posterity.

Answer:

The complete sentences are:

According to Paine, the government of Great Britain will bequeath nothing that will endure to the colonists.

He also implies that the posterity of any nation has the right to blame their predecessors for their suffering.

Explanation:

The meaning of the word bequeath is to leave something after your death in a literal definition, then in the excerpt, it means that Great Britain won't leave anything of value to the colonist after they're gone.

The meaning of the word posterity in a literal way is the descendants in a family, then in here, it is mention that future generations will live in the place that their predecessors have created and will have the right to blame them if these conditions are not good.

In this assignment, you'll revisit the topic of stage directions and explore additional ways they can develop literary elements
sweet [91]
Playwrights use stage directions to give more insight into how the characters should be interacting with each other. Shakespeare uses actually very few stage directions compared to some modern playwrights who detail every move a character is supposed to make.

Stage directions help develop the plot because they help the actors and audience physically move in the space to move the action forward. For example, in Caesar we get the stage direction "<span>CASCA first, then the other Conspirators and BRUTUS stab CAESAR". We understand through the dialogue that they are going to stab Caesar, but this gives us the person who stabs first and the person who stabs last. This helps give meaning to the characters because we learn a lot about Casca (he is the most willing to start the violence) and Brutus (he is still hesitating and it takes him the longest to actually be able to follow through). Also, it develops the plot in the obvious way that if this action does not occur, the rest of the play could not happen.</span>
