These lines come from American poetry in the 19th century. This is an epic poem called "The Columbiad" made by Joel Barlow in 1807. The author wants to show how U.S. citizens imagine their national identity by stating good principles for a good nation. In his ideas, he attempts at social, cultural and political emancipation. In the first lines "Purge all privations from your liberal code, restore their souls to men, give earth repose, And save you sons from slavery, wars, and woes" the author's argument is to seek for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. In order to achieve that he believes that slavery should be abolished so the United States will be purge of the crime of slavery. He believes in freedom, in a new country with good foundations for liberty and progress.

In the next lines "Based on its rock of Right your empire lies; On walls of wisdom let the fabric rise; Preserve your principles, their force unfold. Let nations prove them and let kings behold." the author argument is the same, he is constantly searching for liberty in his ideas, he thinks that the United States should end slavery by eliminating slavers and masters. This idea is important specially because the author believes in a republic society that can't failed. He constantly  says that slavery is barbaric and it doesn't fit in a democratic new world. For a good nation it's necessary to have good principles, wisdom and liberty as well as good citizens with a new mind that means without the european tradition and slavery.

How do Darry and Soda differ in the ways they impress the reporters? * 1 point Darry completely ignores the reporters, and Soda
mina [271]
One it’s dally but at first from the hospital dally didn’t want to talk to the reporters because of all what happened to Johnny so it shows that dally is someone who is tough and closed off at first but once you get him to start talking he’s very bubbly and fun to be around but at the moment his guard was up and didn’t want to be around the reporters. Sodapop on the other hand seemed to be very open and wants to be in the spot light but once they start questioning him about the accident and all that happened well Sodapop didn’t knew anything about it and just wanted the attention at first and then they asked him questions he got shy and then at the end he bored them hey talking about something that is not the accident.

Rukmani describes her garden in vivid detail in the story. Why might she do this? What does this tell readers about how she feel
IgorC [24]
Using my common sense and a bit of knowledge in English, I can infer that she feels strongly about her garden and loves it very much. This leads me to believe that she is a loving and caring character. If something is described vividly this generally means that 1) this is a good writer 2) they feel strongly about what they are writing 3) both a good writer and a strong feeling
