Answer:

Alliteration

Explanation:

Alliteration is a figure of language, more precisely a figure of sound (or harmony). It is defined by the repetition of consonant phonemes in a statement. This means that these sounds can be similar or equal and are usually located at the beginning or middle of the word.

Alliteration produces an interesting sound effect, marking the rhythm and suggesting some sounds similar to the words that make up the text. In the sentence shown above, these effects can be observed in the words "waning", "wealth" and "jilting", "jade".

Brutus and Mark Antony both delivered speeches after the death of Julius Caesar. How do these speeches relate to the conclusion
Arte-miy333 [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

The speech of Brutus was exciting and compelling to the audience. In his description, he employs pathos by asking for people’s love and expressing his honor towards the wisdom he has to the countrymen. He describes Caesar as wise and loving; however, in the real sense that was ironical, ideally he did not mean it.

While Anthony is the opposite, he mocks the senators in his speech becomes he meant everything that he was saying he stood for what was in his mind even though it was provocative.

When we think of America, we think of the land of the free and democracy. On the other hand, some of history has made it hard to
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

Answered below.

Explanation:

Our history of racial segregation and inequality is shameful and cannot be celebrated. Ownership of slaves, making slaves work in cotton fields and other hard labour, oppression of blacks and other minority ethnic groups in the early days of our country, civil rights abuses and discrimination and ultimately the civil war, are all shameful events in our history.

The arrests and dehumanisation of Americans of Japanese ethnicity after the Pearl Harbour attacks, locking them away in inhumane camps and denying their rights to freedom was another event in our history which was shameful and not representative of the freedom and democracy which we stand for.

Thankfully a lot has changed since these periods, but we must do more to continue to protect our democracy and freedom.
