English
2 answers:
Virty [35]4 years ago
8 0

Benjamin Franklin started writing his autobiography in 1771; in what was still British America. He had to interrupt its writing during the American Revolution. The part that deals with the virtues is part of Part Two of his autobiography, which was written in 1784, after the Revolution, when the United States had won their independence from the British Empire.

Franklin was then living in Paris, France, and serving as the US Ambassador (Commissioner) to France. He decided to achieve “moral perfection” and made a list of thirteen virtues. He started listing each daily transgression to each virtue and came to the conclusion that he had the most problem with mastering the virtue of Order. Very philosophically, he acknowledged that he would never achieve perfection but that what mattered was the attempt and the inevitable overall improvement.

How do Mary Shelley's allusions to Milton's Paradise Lost in the novel Frankenstein help readers interpret the story?
AURORKA [14]

The correct answer is the option A) They contrast Victor's creation with God's creation of man.  Mary Shelley uses references of "<em>Paradise Lost</em>" by Milton, in the figure of the monster who reads the story, to contrast him with Adan. The monster reads the story and he felt a connection between Adan, the creation of God but at the same time, he knew that he is different.

There is an important connection as both creatures (the monster and Adan) were created by a perfect image of their creators but there is a clear distinction between them. In the case of "<em>Paradise Lost</em>" God creates Eva to give company to Adan but in the case of the monster he is alone in the world and Frankenstein refused to create another monster to give him company.

Another important difference is that God creations are natural and therefore normal while the monster that is made by the human is not. God protects his creature and makes him happy but Frankenstein abandon the creature and make him unhappy and lonely.

Write a précis of "From 'On the Duty of Civil Disobedience" paragraph 1 by Henry David Thoreau
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

The actions and projects of a permanent government are carried out to the point of letting the permanent government become an inconvenience for the people, which it must represent. This is because the government is a completely corrupt system and can be used to stimulate the creation of conflicts and battles without importance that only bring disadvantages to the population. For this reason, it can be said that the best government is one that governs nothing, but the population is not ready for it.

Explanation:

The above précis was written from the first paragraph of "On the Duty of Civil Disobedience" where Thoreau exposes the governments' responsibility and incompetence to really represent the will of the people and not to be inconvenient. It also reinforces the need to allow the population to constantly complain about permanent governance, which promotes an easily corrupt and despotic system.
