Paine begins by distinguishing between government and society. Society, according to Paine, is everything constructive and useful that people join together to accomplish. The government, on the other hand, is an institution whose sole purpose is to protect us from our vices. The government has its origins in the evil of man and is, therefore, a necessary evil at best. Paine says that government's sole purpose is to protect life, liberty, and property and that a government should be judged solely by the extent to which it accomplishes this goal.

Shan is considered to be a first person narrator because he _____. both tells the story and appears in it tells a story about so
inn [45]
Shan is considered to be a first person narrator because he both tells the story and appears in it.
A first-person narrator would obviously use the first person pronoun (I) to refer to him/herself. So, the entire story is told from this person's point of view, using that particular pronoun. E.g. 'I saw him standing there...' is an example of a first person narration which Shan is an example of. If he were talking about someone else, it would be third-person narration.

Read the excerpt from "Optimism Within" by Helen Keller. Then, make a claim about the author’s purpose for writing the text. Sup
Alex787 [66]

I inferred you are referring to this excerpt from the text;

"Most people measure their happiness in terms of physical pleasure and material possession. Could they win some visible goal which they have set on the horizon, how happy they could be! Lacking this gift or that circumstance, they would be miserable. If happiness is to be so measured, I who cannot hear or see have every reason to sit in a corner with folded hands and weep. If I am happy in spite of my deprivations, if my happiness is so deep that it is a faith, so thoughtful that it becomes a philosophy of life, — if, in short, I am an optimist, my testimony to the creed of optimism is worth hearing."

<u>Explanation</u>:

The author here uses her personal experience of been deaf-blind to assert that an individual's happiness is not dependent on his or her circumstances. Helen says "I who cannot hear or see...I am happy in spite of my deprivations if my happiness is so deep that it is a faith, so thoughtful that it becomes a philosophy of life."

We notice her use of convincing language such as when she says "my testimony to the creed of optimism is worth hearing", this language gives her message a convincing feel.
