Answer:

In his autobiography, "The Autobiography Of Benjamin Franklin", Benjamin Franklin, has placed emphasis on "Self-reliance."

Explanation:

In Frank Woodworth Pine's word written in introduction of the autobiography Franklin is the greatest example of "self-made men",

<em>"most remarkable of all the remarkable histories of our self-made men" with Franklin as the greatest exemplar of the "self-made man".</em>

Because of the inability of Franklin's family to provide a good education t Benjamin, he relied on himself and provided himself with the knowledge by reading. In his autobiography, he writes of an instance where he wrote an anonymous paper just by improving his writing skills by reading Spectator by Joseph Addison and Sir Richard Steele, he then slips this piece of paper under the door of a printing house of his brother, James Franklin. And the paper was published. Encouraged by this, Franklin wrote many more anonymous essays. After revealing the authorship of these essays to his brother, James chides away Benjamin. Tired of working under his brother, Ben, when he was seventeen-years-old escapes with the determination to provide a better life for himself. He had no one to be depend upon in his life. Despite all these odds, Franklin, plied himself with a better life.

In his autobiography, Franklin has emphasized on self-reliance to show that one can live a better life without being dependent on others for the living, the condition provided is that one should be determined to do so despite the adversaries faced.

Yes, I consider "self-reliance" an important part in today's world also. "Self-Reliance" is a date-less quality.

Poetry is special because the author uses a different form of wording to express themselves. Whether it's with rhyming or simply just putting their thoughts on stanzas, poetry is different from other forms of writing in many ways.

The theme of The Lottery is that blindly following tradition can be dangerous. This story explores the concept of unquestioningly following past ways and not asking the reason behind doing things. We see that this ignorance eventually leads to the loss of life, and for seemingly no purpose.

What evidence do you find in the story early autumn to suggest that Mary regretted losing ‘Bill’ more than he regretted losing h
kicyunya [14]

First, it signals the end of Bill and Mary's attempt at conversation, startling Mary into the present.

If the lights symbolize truth or revelation, then their sudden brightness represents the irrefutable passage of time and the impossibility of ever recovering or re-doing the past. That the lights run "the whole length of Fifth Avenue" further emphasizes the completeness of this truth; there is no way to escape the passage of time.

It's worth noting that the lights turn on right after Bill says, "You ought to see my kids" and grins. It's a surprisingly unguarded moment, and it's the only expression of genuine warmth in the story. It's possible that his and Mary's children might represent those lights, being the brilliant chains that link the past with an ever-hopeful future.
