The dissenters in the flag-burning case and their supporters might at this juncture note an irony in my argument. My point is that freedom of conscience and expression is at the core of our self-conception and that commitment to it requires the rejection of official dogma. But how is that admittedly dogmatic belief different from any other dogma, such as the one inferring that freedom of expression stops at the border of the flag?

The crucial distinction is that the commitment to freedom of conscience and expression states the simplest and least self-contradictory principle that seems to capture our aspirations. Any other principle is hopelessly at odds with our commitment to freedom of conscience. The controversy surrounding the flag-burning case makes the case well.

The controversy will rage precisely because burning the flag is such a powerful form of communication. Were it not, who would care? Thus were we to embrace a prohibiton on such communication, we would be saying that the 1st Amendment protects expression only when no one is offended. That would mean that this aspect of the 1st Amendment would be of virtually no consequence. It would protect a person only when no protection was needed. Thus, we do have one official dogma-each American may think and express anything he wants. The exception is expression that involves the risk of injury to others and the destruction of someone else`s property. Neither was present in this case.

(50 points) Write two to three sentences explaining how listening to part of a/the fable helps you visualize the setting.
Semmy [17]

Answer:

If we take a look at the fable namesake of the title of the collection, i.e., "The People Could Fly," there are many words in it that describe colours and scents and actions that take place in the fable, including magic! Like <u>"Black, shiny wings flappin' against the blue up there," "up and down of the sea," "That whip was a slice-open cut of pain," "sweet scent of Africa,"</u> and many others. They provide the speaker with cues to raise their voice or lower it down and consequently the listener responds to the rising tone and the falling tone, and the notes that are high and those that are low, aiding the visualisation process immensely as the narrative not just describes the outline, but fills it with colours and enlivens it with words describing various actions. The cracking of the whip, flying of the people, wailing of the baby are just a few examples of the same.

The sorrow of the weeping baby is heard in the narration<u> "Pity me, oh, pity me,"</u> and the magic starts working its way with the magical words, <u>"Kum...yali, kum buba tambe."</u> The description of the people flying to their "Free-dom", of some people shedding their wings, of them working under oppressive conditions of the plantation can be vividly imagined with the help of listening to the fable.
