Answer:

He means that truth alone triumphs over all, no matter how deserted h may be. he is strong for he stands for what is true, unlike the other town people easily influenced by public opinion.

Explanation:

In Henrik Ibsen's play "An Enemy of the People", Dr, Stockmann had found out that the water in the bathing complex of the town had been contaminated. He accused the authorities of not taking any action to clean it, nor do they want to. The mayor of the town, who happens to be his brother, also doesn't think it is necessary to be checked.

When Dr. Stockmann discovered the contamination, he had given out a statement to warn others of the town. But he was instead asked to retract his statements, for it will only ruin the reputation of the town. Refusing to budge under pressure, he and his family ended up alone, being kicked out of their home, getting 'fired' from their jobs, and even asked to leave the town all due to "public pressure". But, at the end of the play, we find Dr. Stockmann declaring that "<em>the strongest man is one who stands alone</em>", implying that even if he is left alone, he will not comply to the pressure of the majority. He became the fear of the whole town, people and media agencies coming to him for help in keeping their businesses alive. He is strong, stronger than the others for he stands for the truth and truth always prevail in the end. There can never be any harm in standing up for what is true.

In a paragraph of no less than 125 words, describe the steps you can take to effectively organize your writing.
Mashutka [201]

You can write a draft of ideas you have for an essay, making sure that all ideas are presented, and you can make a chart of how you want something to be presented, i.e. what will be in the introduction, what will be in the body and what will be in the conclusion. You can also plan out how you want the reader to see it. Sometimes in films they show something happening and then say "48 hours earlier" or something. It gives the reader an idea that you actually thought about how you want the story to be told. When you organize writing it's always important to have an open mind about what you're talking about. You can't have a narrow topic that you can't talk a lot about, you need ideas first.
