Which part of the excerpt supports the claim that Paine believed the human cost of the colonists' armed struggle against the Bri

tish was well worth the outcome?
The Crisis, No. 1

by Thomas Paine (excerpt)

. . . I turn with the warm ardor of a friend to those who have nobly stood, and are yet determined to stand the matter out: I call not upon a few, but upon all: not on this state or that state, but on every state: up and help us; lay your shoulders to the wheel; better have too much force than too little, when so great an object is at stake. Let it be told to the future world, that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive, that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet and to repulse it. Say not that thousands are gone, turn out your tens of thousands; throw not the burden of the day upon Providence, but "show your faith by your works," that God may bless you. It matters not where you live, or what rank of life you hold, the evil or the blessing will reach you all. The far and the near, the home counties and the back, the rich and the poor, will suffer or rejoice alike. The heart that feels not now is dead; the blood of his children will curse his cowardice, who shrinks back at a time when a little might have saved the whole, and made them happy. I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death. My own line of reasoning is to myself as straight and clear as a ray of light. Not all the treasures of the world, so far as I believe, could have induced me to support an offensive war, for I think it murder; but if a thief breaks into my house, burns and destroys my property, and kills or threatens to kill me, or those that are in it, and to "bind me in all cases whatsoever" to his absolute will, am I to suffer it?

In what way is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s “The Contest” a work of historical fiction?
Volgvan
<span>
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s “The Contest” can be called a work of historical fiction because it describes the former Roman Emperor Nero and recreates ancient Rome and Greece. So he took the events of the year 66 AD as a basis of the setting and chose Emperor Nero as the main character. The whole plot does not have any connections with the real events in history, author just made everything up, so it is a fiction built on historical basis.<span>

Why heathcliff try to make hareton a stupid and withdrawn person?
VikaD [51]
When Heathcliff's guardian, Mr. Earnshaw, dies, his son inherits the estate. When his happens, Heathcliff loses the favor he's had at the estate. He is no longer seen as an equal and instead he is treated as a lesser being because Hindey is enacting his jealousy from his childhood. Because of this, when Heathcliff takes over Wuthering Heights, he wishes to enact the same thing on Hareton. He wants him to feel the same pain that Heathcliff felt as a young man when Hindley treated him wrongly.

This poem is written in heroic couplets – a neoclassical style of poetry – as well as in iambic pentameter. In your opinion, why
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

Phillis Wheatley choose to write like this because:

1. Poems written in iambic pentameter expresses decorum and grandeur of the language.

2. Each couplet expresses a complete thought.

3. There is an "explosion" good rhyming couplets bring. It brings both the rhyme and the idea into a quick close in two lines.

Explanation:

Some of the benefits are:

1. This form of writing enabled Wheatley to purposefully advocate her freedom.

2. It was a tool to deliver safely on the subject matter for a slave poet in a dominantly white society.

3. Wheatley utilizes satire to force an acknowledgement of equality in the eyes of God by her keepers.

4. It makes poems and poets become serious and seriously accepted by readers.

The one disadvantage I discovered is that it seems somehow cumbersome to understand by laymen.
