tigry1 [53]

Answer:

The sentence that best states the them of "Everything that Rises Must Converge" is:

D. Crisis leads to clarity of perspective.

Explanation:

"Everything that Rises Must Converge" is a short story by author Flannery O'Connor. The plot revolves around J.ulian and his mother. J.ulian considers himself a modern, progressive young man, whose mind is open to the new times and new demands of society. On the other hand, he perceives his own mother in a most close-minded way, constantly judging her actions and believing she is wrong, even inferior, for having a prejudiced view of the word.

J.ulian does not realize he is prejudiced as well, but against his own mother. It is only at the end of the story, when she has stroke and dies (a crisis), that clarity comes to him. She dies after having been punched by an African-American woman who felt offended by her. Instead of helping his mother, comforting her, explaining why that happened, J.ulian begins to humiliate her, saying she had gotten what she deserved. When she passes away, however, he has "his entry into the world of guilt and sorrow." He loses the woman who loved him unconditionally and who, in return, only received his judgment.

NOTE: I had to type J.ulian with this dot because, for some reason, Brainly will not let me post the answer otherwise.

In at least one hundred and fifty words, explain the relationship between liberty and factionalism in the Federalist Papers. Use

mina [271]

The Federalist Papers were written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay, they were published through newspapers over a series of weeks.

The Federalist #10, written by James Madison talks about factions. Factions are groups of people united with common interests and political opinions, that work against other people rights. James Madison thought factions produce political instability, and there are two ways to control a faction:

To remove it's causes and to control it's effects.

The relationship between Factions and Liberty is that factions cannot exist without liberty, James Madison said: "Liberty is to faction what air is to fire". The reason factions exist is because people has the liberty to gather together and express their opinions and interests, when this happens factions are inevitably formed, so the only way to get rid of factions would be to destroy liberty or to force people to have the same interests and thoughts, and that would be impossible and absurd. Liberty cannot be destroyed since it is a free country and destroying liberty would be a cure worse than the disease, so the only thing left to do is to control it's effects.

The Constitution establishes a government capable of controlling the violence and damage caused by factions and the existence of factions ensure liberty.
