I hope this answers your question..

The majority of the Court, according to Justice William Brennan, agreed with Johnson and held that flag burning constitutes a form of "symbolic speech" that is protected by the First Amendment. The majority noted that freedom of speech protects actions that society may find very offensive, but society's outrage alone is not justification for suppressing free speech.

In particular, the majority noted that the Texas law discriminated upon viewpoint, i.e., although the law punished actions, such as flag burning, that might arouse anger in others, it specifically exempted from prosecution actions that were respectful of venerated objects, e.g., burning and burying a worn-out flag. The majority said that the government could not discriminate in this manner based solely upon viewpoint.

What aspect of life brings the monster sheer joy

crimeas [40]

Referring to Mary Shelly's Frankenstein

I believe the answer is: The coming of spring with its colors and smells

Ever since the monster is created, he always hated himself for his existence, and so do other people who judge the monster from his appearance alone.

But in the story, the author mentioned that the monster always find solace in soft colors and smells of a springtime forest, which help him to survive his suffering.

How do the characters contribute to the theme of Fourteen?

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

The theme about the unexpected good endings to problems is supported mainly through the character of Mrs. Pringle. The problem of who and how many guests arises from what she wants and is presented through her words and actions. At the end of the play, she announces the unexpected ending by stating how happy she is to have the Prince of Wales instead of Oliver Farnsworth, whom she had been counting on.

All three characters support the theme of people going overboard to reach high social standing. Mrs. Pringle supports this in her reasons for having the party in the first place and the fuss she makes over the details. The words and actions of Elaine and Dunham support the theme in that they provide the ideas that feed Mrs. Pringle’s frustration. They keep her updated on the changing number of guests and the situation regarding the amount of food.
