In the darkness, a pinpoint of light becomes visible. Someone has turned on a flashlight. The pin­point grows to the size of the

bulb. Because this is slow motion, only the bulb is bright. Nothing else lights up—yet.
Now the light begins to spread outward from the bulb. It fills a bigger and bigger space. As the light moves forward, it strikes little fog droplets, the ground, a sneaker, a tree, a cat. After each collision, some light bounces off. It is redirected. Some of it reaches a person's eyes. Only then can the light trigger the person's eyes and brain. In slow, stretched-out speech, the person says, "L000000-000000k! Aaaaaaaaaaaa caaaaaa-aaat!"

After reading "Four Freedoms," read this excerpt from Lincoln’s "Gettysburg Address.”
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

The importance of equality.

The importance of freedom.

Explanation:

"Four Freedoms" by President Roosevelt listed the four important freedoms that every man must be given- freedom of speech, worship, and freedom from want and fear. These, to the President, are necessary for any nation to flourish and for the people to live their lives.

Likewise, President Lincoln's speech at "Gettysburg" also expounded on the same values of freedom. His statement<em> "all men are equal" </em>and that the dedication of that space (Gettysburg) is important for the men who gave their lives for the security of others shows his belief and emphasis on the importance of freedom and equality.

Thus, the correct answers are freedom and equality.

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
just olya [345]

Answer: C) to make the reader comfortable with the character

Explanation:

<em>The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn</em> is Mark Twain's 1885 novel about a boy and his journey with a runaway slave down the Mississippi river.

From the very beginning of the novel, Huck (the narrator) speaks in a friendly and uneducated style. His speech often includes grammar mistakes such as 'no' instead of 'any'. Although he lacks proper education, Huck is familiar with the river and nature, and provides detailed, interesting descriptions on this topic.

In this excerpt, Huck invites the readers to accompany him on his journey, regardless of whether they have read the prequel (The Adventures of Tom Sawyer). The use of conversational tone develops trust between the readers and Huck, and differentiates him from adult, often deceitful characters.

Which two sets of lines in this excerpt from John Milton's Paradise Lost show that Satan acknowledges the goodness of God, despi
enyata [817]

Answer:

<em>Little inferior; whom my thoughts pursue</em>

<em>With wonder, and could love, so lively shines </em>

and

<em>In them Divine resemblance, and such grace </em>

<em>The hand that formd them on their shape hath pourd.</em>

Explanation:

These two sets of lines show how Satan acknowledges the goodness of God. In the first set, Satan tells us that his "thoughts pursue" God, and he also talks about love and shine. In the second set of lines, Satan talks about God's "divine resemblance," and he tells us that he made his creations with "grace." All of these positive words show that Satan feels some kind of respect towards God.
