Answer:

It highlights the fact that no one speaks out against the lottery even though it is murder

Explanation:

Mr. Harry Graves from the short story "The Lottery" is a symbolic and important man because of his rile in the book as people who "win" the Lottery are sent to him.

The Lottery is about a town who has a tradition of drawing from a pool of names and whoever is selected, is "sacrificed" to ensure that the town prospers. No one knows why this tradition is in place, but they do it anyways, even though they feel its wrong.

The importance of Mr Graves keeping silent through out the novel is that no one speaks out about the lottery, even though it is murder.

Answer:

1.  Washington declines to run for reelection

2. Washington contemplates how his presidency will be remembered

3. Washington explains the importance of national unity

4. Washington discusses his views on virtue in politics

Explanation:

George Washington was the President of the United States until September 1796, when burdened by ill health and other attacks on his government, he decided to declare his intentions not to run for reelection.

He begins his speech with an announcement of his desire not to run for reelection. He then contemplates on how his presidency will be remembered, explaining that even though he did not deem himself qualified for the seat, he still did his best for the country. He further urged the people to be unified and not allow disunity among themselves on geographic or party lines. He then concludes by offering his views on virtues in politics.

The ruling I would make on the charge of treason against John Brown, is guilty. Since the belief in transcendentalism is basically to be living on your own and not living under the government many are able to see how this may be illegal and wrong to the government. This also just gives people the opportunity to do whatever they want whether or not it is good or bad. Also, John Brown was convicted of treason due to the murder of five men and inciting a slave insurrection. I understand where John Brown was coming from, in the fact that slavery is wrong and should have been abolished. But there comes a time where we cannot recreate the actions of our enemies to retaliate, we must bring about a peaceful measure to combat these problems or else we become no better than our enemies. Then there was Ralph Waldo Emerson who just so happened to be a transcendentalist. He believed he did not have to live under the government and pay taxes and follow their society rules. He wrote poetry and he was a essayist he led the transcendentalist movement of the mid-19th century. I don't think transcendentalism is the answer to our problems with the government, it just makes it seem like we are acting like children and pretending the problem isn't there or choosing to ignore everything around us and act like we live in a bubble. This is why I believe John Brown should be guilty.

i just added more words to help reach the 250 word count :) hope this helps!
