What strategy lies behind the use of this quotation? B. Using a quotation by this respected president would link Jordan's words to the much revered President Lincoln's words in the minds of the listeners, giving her credibility. The quotation gives her speech validity.

(...) Well I am going to close my speech by quoting a Republican President and I ask you that as you listen to these words of Abraham Lincoln, relate them to the concept of a national community in which every last one of us participates:  

"As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master." This -- This -- "This expresses my idea of Democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no Democracy."

<em>Barbara Jordan was a politician (feminist) and leader of the black civil rights movement in the United States.</em>

16 POINTS<br> What do men and women today think the other wants MOST in a relationship?
BigorU [14]

Women want to have a permanent emotional connection and bond that lasts a lifetime and expects for the man to fulfill their emotional and physical needs. While men want their physical needs to be satisfied and don’t want the women they love and are with to be stubborn, pessimistic and selfish; a woman who doesn’t take their advice at some moments and goes her own way is a huge downer for any man. Now, in reality women cannot think the same as a man and man cannot think the same as a women. That’s how God made us in complete perfection.

Women nowadays think men are only after a girl for their physical appearance and intimacy, it takes time for a woman looking for a relationship to trust a man so deeply that she’s willing to emotionally attach to him. However, it’s the case for most girls because some do their best to please the man to the extent of changing for them or pleasing them every way possible so they won’t leave. Unfortunately, some women are too dependent. Men on the other hand think women are also superficial or sometimes they think all women are the same and they treat them like so when they want to establish a relationship with her. However, being different is what causes them to make the man chase and want to establish a connection with her.

Also, place your own opinions in the prompt. It could help you a lot. Put instead of “I think” the words “a man/woman who is a gamer thinks...”

Hope this helps you sweetie

Can somebody help me with this problem

Ok, I read the Odyssey like... 10 times so, I cant read the top question, but the answer the second one is, 

He offers to pay him back with an alliance after he makes it home. The vow is important because Odysseus was arguably the most powerful ruler at the time. So, an alliance with him would help Alcinous a lot.

Verizon [17]

Answer:

The best way to paraphrase this excerpt is:

c. Britain has oppressed the colonists in many ways.

Explanation:

According to Thomas Paine in this excerpt, Britain was not only taxing the colonists. It was binding them in "all cases whatsoever", meaning Britain was trying its best to keep colonists under its control through several designs. In other words, Britain's government was oppressing the colonists in such a way that Paine felt it was comparable to slavery. Colonists had no freedom, no choice. As could be expected, such oppression led to rebellion.
