"Ich bin ein Berliner" is a speech delivered by John Kennedy in 1963, in West Berlin. At the time, Kennedy was the United States President. This speech is often considered as the most powerful speech during the Cold War.

In his address, 22 months after East Germany erected the Berlin Wall so that people could not emigrate to the West, Kennedy reminds German people of the United States support at this difficult moment. He expresses solidarity of the United States with West Germany.

Answer: It symbolizes the support of the United States for West Germany.

Explanation: Ich bin ein Berliner is a speech by United States President John F. Kennedy given on June 26, 1963, in West Berlin.

The speech was aimed to underline the support of the United States for West Germany after Soviet-occupied East Germany erected the Berlin Wall to prevent mass emigration to the West.

Worthy of mention is the fact that there's a claim the phrase actually means "I am a doughnut", referring to the Berliner doughnut.

Once the creature has learned how to satisfy his basic needs, he learns language and then how to read.

dusya [7]

Answer:

The Monster learns to speak by spying on the DeLacey family. He lives for over a year in a “hovel,” a small shed attached to the DeLaceys’ cottage. Through a chink in the wall, the Monster can see and hear everything that happens inside the cottage. He learns to speak by listening to the DeLaceys. When Felix DeLacey’s fiancée Safie arrives, the Monster is able to learn more: Safie is Turkish, and the Monster overhears Felix teaching her French as well as the history and politics of Europe. The Monster learns to read when he finds three books abandoned on the ground: Paradise Lost, Plutarch’s Lives and The Sorrows of Werter. These books point to major themes of the novel. Plutarch’s Lives is about the “great men” of history, which reminds us that the Monster exists because of Frankenstein’s ambition to be great. The Sorrows of Werter is a novel about the alienation of a young man, which underlines the alienation of both the Monster and Frankenstein. Paradise Lost, by the English poet John Milton, is the most significant of the three books. It tells the Biblical story of Adam and Eve, focusing on Satan’s ambition and alienation from God. The Monster frequently compares himself to both Satan and Adam.

What does the creature learn from this book? How much of a monster can someone be who can say "but when I heard details of vice and bloodshed, my wonder ceased, and I turned away with disgust and loathing"?

The creature learns all about the history of civilization and all the wars man has waged on one another.

What happens when the creature begins to think about himself? How does he compare with the humans described in the book? What questions does he ask himself? How does his knowledge make him feel?

The creature realizes he is the only one in existence. Like himself he is monstrously ugly and he is utterly alone. He asks, "What am I?" and "Who am I?" He feels absolute misery.

What are the three books that the creature reads, and what does he learn from each of them?

Plutarch's "Lives", Goethe's "Sorrows of Werter", and Milton's "Paradise Lost". He learns of man's cruel history of war in "Lives", of man's melancholic nature in "Sorrows of Werter" and the noble thoughts of man in "Paradise Lost".

Answer:

Explanation: So maybe if, like, they said that the character was evil you might think that he or she wore like a dark color and looked evil but if the author said that they looked innocent, though they were evil, that might change your perspective a little bit.

How can somebody win the popular vote but lose the electoral vote?

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Yes it is possible

Explanation:

So you can win the popular vote as in the one we can all vote in. So most Americans in this case will like you. However the electoral is like the "elite and experienced politicians" who vote. They made this to prevent a dumb majority. You can argue whether this is a dumb thing because it could be. But it pretty much states that we do not trust what most Americans think. We only trust a few. These few can still be influenced by the majority though.
