In Dulce et Decorum Est, hags is used to describe young soldiers. The simile 'coughing like hags' was used because the young soldiers went into battle strong and full of life. After battle, they returned looking aged and beat down - hence 'hags' or resembling beggars.

The Historical Event Is The Invasion Of The Spanish Armada Of 1588

The enormous sea fleet sent by King Philip II of Spain in 1588 to invade England. England tried to counter this fleet by fighting entirely with heavy guns, and the failure of Spain’s Armada saved England from possible absorption into the Spanish empire.

This event is usually viewed with an overwhelming focus on the battle itself,  showcasing the skills of the English fleet which was under the command of Charles Howard who battled the leadership of the experienced admiral Medina-Sidonia.

If we were to use the feminist critical literary theory the event would be viewed differently.

The Invasion Of The Spanish Armada Of 1588 happened during the Elizabethan Era, it was under her leadership that the Spanish Armada was defeated and she saved England from invasion, defending an invasion from the greatest European power of the age.

<em>¨I know I have the body of a weak, </em><em>feeble woman</em><em>; but I have the heart and stomach of a </em><em>king</em><em>, and of a </em><em>king of England</em><em> too.¨</em>

The feminist critical literary theory is a lense through which we can view a historical event. In literary criticism we may use reasoning, emotion and logic but it helps to try on different ¨lenses¨ to search for deeper meaning. Our view of the event may change if we are only concerned with the ways in which this event may reinforce or undermine the leadership of either the men or women involved or vice versa.

Which of the following identifies Andrew Solomon's main claim in the speech?
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

C. It is difficult to seek treatment for depression, as it is viewed as a glorified form  of sadness rather than a serious mental illness.

Explanation:

In his speech, Andrew Solomon narrated his ordeal with depression. This disease is one suffered by many who do not really recognize its difference with sadness. They see depression as a mood which is normal for all humans, and so they do not believe that it requires treatments. They believe that it is something that can be adapted to.

Andrew Solomon sees it differently. He compared sadness to an iron with little rust which can be overcome by just painting and polishing while he compared depression to an iron which has rusted by over a hundred years and has turned to "a pile of orange dust". So, depression is a serious medical condition that needs urgent attention.
