Answer:

It means that though Abraham Lincoln may be the President of the country, his opposition of the slavery system is not something he can just simply take into consideration. His duty to the nation precedes his personal opinions.

Explanation:

The above excerpt is from the letter written by Abraham Lincoln to Albert G. Hodges, editor of the newspaper Frankfurt, Kentucky, Commonwealth. President Lincoln had been an avid supporter of the emancipation of slaves.

In the letter, he wrote that though he is personally against the slavery system, being the President doesn't ensure that he should abolish it. He might be the President of the country, with absolute power, but he had taken an oath to protect and preserve the interest of all the citizens. And he knows there are a lot of people who still wants the slavery system. So, he can't just ignore these people's interest and act like a dictator. His first duty is to the nation and the constitution, which he had sworn an oath to do so.

Lorico [155]


So purpose of the fire was to send a signal to anyone on a boat or ship to come rescue the boys. However, later on in the story, someone sets the jungle on fire to kill Ralph. So, the fire was originally intended for good but then was used to do evil.

As for the drum roll, I think it represents chaos and future troubles they will encounter because they have "fallen apart as a society." There is a lot of discord among the boys.

Hopefully this helped and good luck.

What is your opinion about term limits?
katrin [286]
My opinion is that Yes they should The congressmen right now have been there too long - old ideas and prejudices still exist. By having term limits it would stop this altogether. New younger congressmen should agree with term limits before elections. These laws need to be changed, updated. I hope the American people take a vote to oust the elders.

D) For oft, when on my couch I lie

In vacant or in pensive mood,
