Hello. You did not inform the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for this question to be answered accurately. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.
It is only possible to know the question that the text raises with the reading of the text, however, through the question above we can see that the question is at the end of the text. In addition, you must know that every question must be marked with a question mark (?) at the end of the sentence. In this case, when observing the sentences that end with an question mark , at the end of the text, you will find the question that the author asks the readers to reflect on.
Answer:
They’ve worked their whole lives and are looking forward to retirement.
They are unemployed.
They have been unemployed most of their lives, but continue to look for work.
They’ve worked their whole lives and continue to do so.
The readers understanding would change without different points of view shown through dialogue because without characters point of view shown through dialogue there is nothing there to form the readers opinion and understanding of the characters feelings and thoughts. In the Hobbit, dialogue is very important for the readers understanding. For example, Bilbo Baggins shares his thoughts, feelings, and ideas throughout his adventures, along with many other characters. Without Bilbo expressing his point of view through dialogue, the reader would have no idea what he is feeling, along with all of the other characters, Dialogue builds a picture in the readers head and without that picture the reader won't have an accurate idea of what the author intended the reader to think.
I hope this helps! :)
To me it means as a sign for inspiration and honor, and i believe the way the quote was intended to portray is-- Without America fighting for their freedom, risking everything and every life, they wouldn't have been known as people who took a stand and fought for what they deserved. It stands in history as monument to everyone around the world that freedom is always hard fought, but without the courage and the strength to truly want what you feel you deserve and therefore earned....be prepared to lose everything.
