The correct answer is - to motivate Americans to strive for the development of their nation .

President Kennedy says: 'ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.' It is clear that he wants people to work together in order to 'make America great again.' He believes that if the country is prosperous and successful, then the people will become happy and satisfied as well. He wants to motivate his fellow Americans to work together towards a common goal of bettering their own country.

Which of the following images does the Time Traveller NOT see when he is traveling through time in The Time Machine?

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

A. A slug crawling across the ground

Explanation:

According to the passage, "'The landscape was misty and vague. I was still on the hill–side upon which this house now stands, and the shoulder rose above me grey and dim. I saw trees growing and changing like puffs of vapour, now brown, now green; they grew, spread, shivered, and passed away. I saw huge buildings rise up faint and fair, and pass like dreams. The whole surface of the earth seemed changed—melting and flowing under my eyes. The little hands upon the dials that registered my speed raced round faster and faster. Presently I noted that the sun belt swayed up and down, from solstice to solstice, in a minute or less, and that consequently my pace was over a year a minute; and minute by minute the white snow flashed across the world, and vanished, and was followed by the bright, brief green of spring."

B, C, and D are all examples that are included in the passage, therefore A is the correct answer.

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

poem Title : My life by Billy Joel

This is a song about strength. The strength to self re-examine oneself, and the strength to go about life the way you desire it. The strength move away from aspect of your life you are not okay with. The strength to avoid toxic people around you, people who only see things in their own perspective. The poem was written during an era when the social expectation was mostly about conforming, doing things that the society expected even if it is driving you nut.

Quotations important to the song

1.Got a call from an old friend

We used to be real close

Said he couldn't go on the American way

Closed the shop, sold the house

Bought a ticket to the West Coast

Now he gives them a stand-up routine in L.A

This gives us a background of who the song is directed to, someone who used to be very close to him but has take to another path in life and was expecting him is to join him on it.

2. I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm alright

I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home

I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life

Go ahead with your own life, leave me alone

This section potrayed his insistence on followinng his own path, not just conforming to others expectation.

3. They will tell you, you can't sleep alone in a strange place

Then they'll tell you, you can't sleep with somebody else

Ah, but sooner or later you sleep in your own space

Either way it's okay you wake up with yourself

this section is defined what he is expected to do, represeting societal expectations he is expected to conform with.

4. I never said you had to offer me a second chance

(I never said you had to)

I never said I was a victim of circumstance

This section is portrays that he is ready to find his own path in life rather than conforming. it shows strenght to explore and seek more in his own way

Discussable question that the poem evokes in your mind as a reader

The main question raise in the poem is about conforming. why should we conform? why we limit ourself just to satisfy others? why should we be something else other than what we truly want?
