Which two parts of this excerpt from William Dean Howells's "Editha" idealize patriotism? "George: I understood—when you left me

. But I think we had better emphasize your meaning that if we cannot be one in everything we had better be one in nothing. So I am sending these things for your keeping till you have made up your mind. "I shall always love you, and therefore I shall never marry any one else. But the man I marry must love his country first of all, and be able to say to me, "'I could not love thee, dear, so much, Loved I not honor more." "There is no honor above America with me. In this great hour there is no other honor.”

Answer: The right answers are:

Excerpt 1: "But the man I marry must love his country first of all, and be able to say to me [...]."

Excerpt 2: "There is no honor above America with me. In this great hour there is no other honor."

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that, in these lines, the character of Editha is clearly expressing and idealizing her patriotism. She is writing a letter to her boyfriend, George, who, in order to win her love, must become a hero and fight for his country in the war. In these parts of the letter she is strongly putting forth her adamant conviction in, and fervent devotion to, her country.

Do you feel that Harrison Bergeron acted heroically by going against the rules of the society?
Alekssandra [29.7K]
One could argue that Harrison DID act heroically because he was so intelligent as evidenced by his many handicaps, especially the ones that would cause noise to disrupt his thoughts and weights to stop his strength. Since he was able to escape and because he was able to take off all his handicaps, it shows that he must've understood the consequences of declaring himself emperor on national television. He didn't gather weapons or assemble an army. Instead he chose to dance and made it extremely easy for the government to find him. He had to know that the Handicapper General would kill him to protect their society. Since he chose to defy the rules of society and live, briefly, free of their constraints, it is easy to see why someone may consider Harrison to be a hero. Choosing to die free of the constraints of his society is very heroic.
On the other hand, one could also argue that it wasn't heroic at all, since he did NOT escape with a plan to help other people, including his parents, who were subject to the terrible laws and handicaps set on them by the government. A truly heroic person would have thought of other people, too, and not just himself. We know that Harrison is the strongest, most beautiful, and most intelligent person there is because he has such heavy and ugly handicaps. Someone who has so many gifts SHOULD help other people. In most definitions of the word, a hero is someone who sacrifices part or all of him or herself to help other people. Harrison did not help anybody except the ballerina with whom he danced, and that caused her death, too.
