English

Ipatiy [6.2K]3 years ago

Tom Walker shows individualism by keeping to himself and hoarding things (he also shows individualism by refusing to be a slave trader). "The devil and Tom Walker" was written during a time when puritanistic beliefs, stating that a person's life should be developed to God. Suddenly the desire for money and personal gain were springing up. Tom fights change at first, but he gives in to the greed that caused his wife's death.

<em>Washington Irving´s “The Devil and Tom Walker” is an example of 18th Century American literature and it is characterized by elements of individualism.</em>

In what ways are the romantic poets descendants of that philosophy?
ira [324]
For the present purposes, our interest in the romantic poets is less for the sake of their own convictions than for ascertaining the nature of their influence on English society. In their critique of modern society the Lake poets, in common with so many nineteenth-century critics, tended to idealize the medieval period. The new industrialism they believed carried with it a dehumanization, a loss of many values that the Middle Ages had honored by preserving the religious heritage of Europe.

Explain Mill's "On Individuality" lays the groundwork for the development of liberal democracies in Western nations.
Ksju [112]

"On Individuality" is chapter 3 in J. S. Mill's book "On Liberty". In it, Mill discusses - even though he does not define - individuality and how happiness and achievement of superior pleasures come from it. Conformity to customs could cost a person's joy in living and his/her freedom of thought.

Individuality is directly connected to liberal democracy in the sense that such form of government allows for it to be practiced. Both ideas walk hand in hand. If a person seeks individuality, he/she is striving to think and believe whatever he/she chooses right and proper, or even most profitable. Other forms of government - such as monarchy or aristocracy -, tend to limit or, on occasion, even erase the possibility of self-expression.

It is Mill's opinion that participation in a democracy cultivates the character of the citizens. And cultivation of character is a possible definition of the word individuality. Individuality is achieved when a person is able to see him/herself respected, his/her ideas heard, even if not accepted. The necessary freedom for a person to do that - to think, talk and act on his/her own terms - comes with democracy.

How does the author balance the suspense of Scene 4 with the sadness of Scene 5? in anne frank
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The author balances the suspense in scene 4 with the sadness in scene 5, using foreshadowing.

Explanation:

Foreshadowing is a literary technique where the author advances a situation that will happen later in the narrative. This can be seen in scene 4 where Anne has a dream that her family will be captured by the Nazis. The dream terrifies her and makes her screams wake up everyone who is asleep, the screams provide suspense and an omen about what may happen in the future.

In scene 5, Anne and all the Jews in the secret annex are celebrating hanuka, that's when they hear a noise downstairs and are apprehensive, because they believe the Nazis have found them. This apprehension is related to Anne's dream.

However, over time they discover that he was not a thief, but all the fear they felt changes their desire to celebrate the hanuka and makes everyone saddened by the situation they are living in.
