Answer: is compelled to recount terrible and frightening events.

Both Dante and Boccaccio have chosen to discuss frightening, difficult events that they believe will cause sorrow to the reader. However, neither one of them feels they have a choice in the matter. They feel it is their responsibility to inform readers of these events. Boccaccio discusses the plague that has killed a huge percentage of the population of Europe. Dante, on the other hand, discusses his journey through Hell, Purgatory and Paradise, and describes the people and punishments he finds there.

Read this sentence from the speech.
34kurt

The theme that this sentence suggests is one cannot stand still in the face of danger and survive.

This sentence is taken from Patrick Henry's speech "Give me liberty, or give me death!", which was pronounced during the Second Virginia Convention in 1775. In this speech,<u> Henry argues that America should raise a militia in order to fight for their independence from Great Britain and achieve freedom</u>. He tries to convince the convention that delivering Virginian troops so they can participate in the American Revolutionary War is far better than 'lying on one's back' and doing nothing.

barxatty [35]

I don’t have prior knowledge to the store but we can predict that something incredible and potentially bad has happened due to the way the writer described how the character said his words and the part that says “as I wished it twisted my hand like a snake”
