English

scoundrel [369]3 years ago
4 0

Dudley Randall's poem “Ballad of Birmingham” is a tribute to a real-life church bombing in 1963, which killed four young girls. The main theme is that nothing - not even a mother's love or the sacred walls of a church - can protect an innocent child from racial violence.  

A bit tragic :I

How might the different connotations of words affect a play and its audience?<br> PLEASE EXPLAIN.
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

At the end of World War II the Allies Powers sent a message to the Japanese demanding surrender. The Japanese responded with the word mokusatsu, which translates as either "to ignore" or "to withhold comment". The Japanese meant that they wished to withhold comment, to discuss and then decide. The Allies translated mokusatsu as the Japanese deciding to ignore the demand for surrender. The Allies therefore ended the war by dropping the bomb and transforming the world we live in forever.

The effect that words can have is incredible: to inform, persuade, hurt or ease pain, end war or start one, kill thousands or even millions of people. They can get your point across, or destroy any hope of your ideas ever being understood. A major element of advertising is the words, which ones and in what order. The following is a discussion of words and how to use them to the greatest effect in advertising.

According to the CON article, which option BEST
IRISSAK [1]

Monuments honoring Christopher Columbus are being defaced and destroyed. This year’s

Columbus Day celebrations will spark strong debate over the explorer’s legacy, but by looking

at Columbus in the big picture of history, one can see today’s anti-Columbian fury is either

misguided or part of a blind political agenda to demonize early European activity in the New

World.

First, let’s consider the matter of European disease transmission, principally smallpox, which

is estimated to have killed 70 to 80 percent of Native Americans. While those numbers are

staggering, the deaths happened over many decades. Holding Columbus responsible is

beyond preposterous. Further, calculating an actual number of deaths is impossible because

estimates of pre-Columbus populations vary enormously. In Hispaniola, for example, the range

runs from 250,000 to 3 million.
