In this excerpt from Common Sense, Thomas Paine lists the groups that prefer an alliance with Great Britain over living in a fre

e country. What is his purpose for doing so? Though I would carefully avoid giving unnecessary offence, yet I am inclined to believe, that all those who espouse the doctrine of reconciliation, may be included within the following descriptions. Interested men, who are not to be trusted, weak men who CANNOT see, prejudiced men who will not see, and a certain set of moderate men who think better of the European world than it deserves; and this last class, by an ill-judged deliberation, will be the cause of more calamities to this Continent than all the other three. A. to provoke the supporters of freedom to declare war against the colonists who prefer the rule of Great Britain B. to oppose the colonists' belief in the superiority of a European government over its American counterpart C. to emphasize that reconciling with Great Britain is misguided and will cause greater suffering for the colonists D. to inform the colonists that a greater source of their suffering is their own fellow man E. to criticize the king of Britain for attacking the colonies and imprisoning some of his most loyal followers

How does the author foreshadow, hint at, the changes that will occur in jaun's personality and his life ? Provide examples of fo
klemol [59]

Answer:

One foreshadowing act is when he reported the fellow worker who tried to organize a strike, leading to Juan's promotion. Again, he also states that <em>"You don't form a habit by doing something once"</em>, which he proved wrong. These two examples are part of the factors that lead up to his 'power greed' and eventually led to his execution from his self-censored letter.

Explanation:

Foreshadowing is a literary technique that writers employ to provide hints about what will happen in future scenes. This allows the readers to have a sense of suspense, foreboding, and expectant about what is to happen to the character(s).

In the short story "The Censors" by Luisa Valenzuela, the authoritative regime of the government in censoring the letters of the people through a <em>"Censor's Secret Command"</em> shows the level of freedom the people are subjected to. And Juan, the protagonist of the story, also gets involved in the 'power play' where he, at first wants to join the Command only to ensure the safety of his letter to Mariana who has escaped to Paris. But once affiliated with the job, he gets dragged into the world of the 'power' the post/ job provides. And eventually, he brought his own death when he censors his letter so much that it was seized by the government and the writer/sender executed.

Some examples of foreshadowing are when he states <em>"You don't form a habit by doing something once" </em>which he proved wrong. Moreover, his act of turning in his colleague, who <em>"tried to organize a strike to demand higher wages for unhealthy work"</em> is another foreshadowing. This is because by turning in the guy, he got promoted which led him to get into higher posts where he eventually brought about his own downfall and is executed.
