Answer:
Plato Answer
Explanation:
The narrative of “The Brown Chest” has a fragmented perception of time, as the story jumps years and even decades at a time. The fragmented timeframe is evident in how the narrator goes back and forth across his childhood and adulthood, and how he perceives things differently at each stage. When he’s older, he cherishes the old photos, clothes, and trinkets, even though he didn’t care for them when he was a child:
These books had fat pages edged in gold, thick enough to hold, on both sides, stiff brown pictures, often oval, of dead people. He didn't like looking into these albums, even when his mother was explaining them to him.
Updike possibly chose this unorthodox structure to contrast the reactions of the narrator from disdain to excitement and melancholy over old family memories.
And when he, or the grown-up with him, lifted the lid of the chest, an amazing smell rushed out—deeply sweet and musty, of mothballs and cedar, but that wasn't all of it. The smell seemed also to belong to the contents—lace tablecloths and wool blankets on top, but much more underneath . . . His parents' college diplomas seemed to be under the blankets . . .
Answer: Food and Drug Act
Explanation: Within months, two pieces of legislation resulted from Sinclair's novel: The Pure Food and Drug Act and the Meat Inspection Act, both signed into law on June 30th, 1906. Sinclair was an instant celebrity and a Socialist hero, and was finally financially stable.
There are a good number of reasons why the British were able to do so, and in fact rule over India effectively for over a century.
Disunity among Indian princely states. India was more a collection of warring princely states, at loggerheads with each other. The British sucessfully used this to play off one state against another. Add to it there was no dearth of people willing to betray the kingdom for a few pieces of silver. Robert Clive succeeded at Plassey, because Mir Jaffar was willing to betray his master Siraj-Ud-Daulah in lie of being the Nawab. Mir Jaffar himself was betrayed by Mir Qasim later on.Tipu Sultan one of the most redoubtable fighters against the British rule, was finally defeated, as the Marathas, King of Mysore, Nizam of Hyderabad all joined hands with the British.
Superiority over other colonial powers. The other colonial powers in India competing for the share of resources were France,Portugal,Denmark, Holland. Of the 4, Denmark and Holland could never really be serious competitors to the British, they had their own trading posts, scattered around, but were never a serious threat. Portugal focussed primarily on the Western coast, Goa, parts of Kerala, Karnataka, and this left the British with vast swathes of unoccupied territory. That left France as the major contender to Britian in the race for colonialism. The British Army was more well equipped, more professional, more disciplined compared to the French army, suffering from indiscipline and corruption. This made the British win key battles all over the East Coast, as they effectively grabbed control.
Doctrine of Lapse. One of the most effective tactics, the British used to take over most of India. Instead of waging an all out war against some of the princely states, they signed a treaty with them, where in if the ruling king died without a heir, the East India company could take over that. And that is how Satara became one of the first states to end up under British rule. And that was also the main reason for the conflict in Jhansi.
Subsidiary alliance was also an effective instrument. According to this alliance, the kingdom which signs the treaty will have to maintain the following rules:
The British agreed to maintain a permanent and fixed subsidiary force within the territory of their ally.
In return, they didn't take money but took over a part of the territory of the ally.
A British officer called "resident" was placed at the court of the ruler.{he could interfere in the internal matters of the kingdom}
The ally could not maintain any relation with any other ruler without the approval of the British.{so,when the rulers wanted to revolt against the British they are alone.}
The Indian rulers felt a false sense of security but in reality they were losing their independence. On the other hand the Britishers maintained large forces at the expenses of the Indian rulers and also increase their area of influence. Some states brought under control through this policy are Hyderabad, Tanjore, Awadh, etc.
At the end of it all, the British had the advantage of better manpower, were militarily more powerful and stronger, and add to it they had some very canny strategists too. And the disunity among Indian princely states, their constant warring with each other, just added to the advantage.
In the 1780's and 1790's The United States and Britain had just fought in a war against each other. The United States and Britain went to war over the American people wanting freedom from British rule and taxation. The Americas won the war leading to large American debt and strained relations with Great Britain who embargoed American made goods.
The Era of Good Feelings, which occurred from about 1815 until about 1825, was a time period in which nationalism (or extreme pride in one's country) were at a high after America won the War of 1812. After the War of 1812, many British citizen wanted to reopen trade between Great Britain and America. There were no territorial losses between either countries and both sides were open to becoming close allies. This was made possible after the Treaty of Ghent, Rush-Bagot Treaty, The Treaty of 1818, The Webster-Ashburton Treaty, The return of Massachusetts, and the Oregon Treaty. These agreements documented the positive energy and the willingness to compromise and remain allies of both major nations.
Even though it's quite difficult to define a common/global definition of terrorism and the main goals or motivations behind terrorist groups' plans; it has been found that regardless of the terrorist groups' ideology most of them are mainly moved by the intention of Frightening people into submission, achieving social and political changes, and destroying governments and creating anarchy.
Frightening people into submission: In order to undermine governments/states control, terrorist groups use intimidation as a strategy for getting people's submission. And that way it will be easier for them to control everything.
Achieving social and political changes:
Most terrorist groups state their main purpose is to look for ways to make changes in their societies. From their perspective, the way things are in their environment tend to be wrong, and that's why they justify their violent acts. For them, the society where they come from it's in desperate urge of help in its social or political field.
Destroying governments and creating anarchy:
From terrorist groups' perspective the government that rules their countries are inefficient or inadequate, and because of this belief, they consider the best way to fix the problem is to destroy them and create anarchy.
