Answer:

Cleopatra.

Explanation:

The quote "<em>Cleopatra's nose, had it been shorter, the whole face of the world would have been changed</em>" was said by the famous French mathematician Blaise Pascal. It was part of the posthumously edited writings of Pascal in 1669 titled "Pensees/ Thoughts".

According to the belief of ancient times and also the seventeenth century belief, a person's physiognomy plays an important role in determining the character of that person. A large nose, like that of Cleopatra's, signify the dominance and strength of the person. If not for her, then there wouldn't have been the fall of Caesar or Antony, the great men of Rome. This would have stopped them from falling under her spell, thus averting the many wars and conflicts that changed the history of the world.

Select one of the readings in this unit, EXCEPT the Gettysburg Address, and in at least 150 words, discuss the historical
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

The “ I Have A Dream” speech was told by the man named Martin Luther King Jr. He was a very important man in the time and he made a speech calling out the people that were racist and disrespectful. He told the speech to try to end the disrespect and inequality. People were rude and didn’t understand that black lives mattered and that they had the same thought, dreams, and beliefs. Martin Luther King Jr. wanted the best of his people and to help more with his speech he used quotes from another speech called the “Gettysburg Address”. He tried to show people that Abraham Lincolin, a white man, even wanted the best for black people. Black is just a color, a human… is so much more. We may be different, but we are strong as one. Because of using quotes from a speech that happened a while back he was able to put some history and more detail into his speech to get people to understand what he was getting at.

Which quotation from the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe has a similar central idea
ad-work [718]

Hello. You forgot to provide answer options. The options are:

""This story is about something that happened to them when they were sent away from London during the war because of the air-raids."

"He himself was a very old man with shaggy white hair, which grew over most of his face as well as on his head, and they liked him almost at once."

"I tell you this is the sort of house where no one's going to mind what we do. Anyway, they won't hear us."

"Mrs. Macready and the visitors were still talking in the passage; but luckily they never came into the empty room and so the children weren't caught.""

Answer:

"I tell you this is the sort of house where no one's going to mind what we do. Anyway, they won't hear us."

Explanation:

"The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" is the first book in the series called "The chronicles of Narnia". The main theme of this book is to report the adventures of a group of children who discover, inside the house, a passage to the kingdom of Narnia, a magical place with a great battle between good and evil.

No resident of the house realizes when the children are in Narnia, because the house is very large and they manage to go unnoticed.

Among the options given in the question above, the one that best resembles the central theme of the story is: "I tell you this is the sort of house where no one going to mind what we do. Anyway, they won't hear us."
