Answer:

to argue that the impact of the war has not yet matched the impact of slavery.

Explanation:

President Abraham Lincoln, for his second Inaugural speech for his second term as president, gave a touching speech where he emphasized on the need to lay importance on the effects of slavery for which all Americans, North as well as South, are implicit. And "this mighty scourge of war" is the divine punishment for the acts of discrimination against the blacks as acts of slavery. And even after all that has happened, the impact of war is nothing in comparison to what the slaves had to go through under the slavery system.

Act 3 Scene 1: Note that Shakespeare changes "Capulets” to "Capels.” Why do you think he does this?
Lelu [443]
I think it was to show how Mercutio and Benvolio were laughing and slightly mocking the capulets whilst also adding the idea that they always pick the fights and are the antagonists

Answer:

Lake Harriet is a great place to to swim and relax. In the summer, the water is warm and clean, and the beaches attract people seeking relief from a midsummer scorcher. In addition to swimming, visitors to the lake can go canoeing, sailing, windsurfing, or fishing. The blue water is a refreshing, tempting sight. The sweet scent of sun block wafts through the air from sunbathers lying on the beach. Children laugh and splash in the water, and nearby volleyball games stir passionate shouts in the heat of competition. Meanwhile lifeguards sit atop their towers and make sure everyone is safe. In the distance, sail boats catch the soft breezes that ripple Lake Harriet’s surface, and canoeists glide quietly past. This is what summer is all about!

Explanation:

A descriptive paragraph describes a thing, a person, or a place. Detailed information allows the reader to form an image in his or her imagination. The better the description, the clearer the image.

When teaching my students how to write a descriptive paragraph, I usually have them consider the five senses of touch, smell, sound, taste, and sight. Before writing the paragraph, make five columns and list words or ideas for the subject of the paragraph based on these five senses.

The sense of sight is the one that most writers consider first, but try to work on that one last. Let’s take, for example, a description of a place. What do you feel when you go there? What do you feel on your skin. Is it hot or cold? Is it wet or dry? What do you smell? Is there food? Are the smells good or bad? What do the smells remind you of? What do you hear? Is it quiet or noisy? Are there cars moving about? Are people talking? What about the sounds of nature? Are they present? Even a soft wind makes a sound. Taste is a difficult sense to describe, and the degree to which you pay this any attention depends on the subject matter. Sight comes last. Here you can describe color, size, depth, height, width, etc.
