Ead the excerpt from an essay about fairy tales.

Sav [38]

Answer:

The author should explain how Rapunzel’s story fits into the thesis.

Explanation:

In the given excerpt from an essay about fairy tales, the author talks about how the Grimm brothers' tales are about people suffering in difficult situations. This particular passage from the essay is meant to show or talk about how such situations affect the heroes and heroines of their tales.

But at the same time, while referring to the hardships of the characters in the Grimm's tales, the author failed to mention a bit more detail about Rapunzel. Though the author mentions some background information about Hansel and Gretel, enough detail that connects Rapunzel to the thesis argument is not provided.

Thus, the correct answer is the second option.

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.
