Read the passage from "Letter by a Swiss-German Immigrant to Pennsylvania (August 23, 1769)." Dearest Father, Brother, and Siste

r and Brother-in-law, I have told you quite fully about the trip, and I will tell you what will not surprise you—that we have a free country. Of the sundry craftsmen, one may do whatever one wants. Nor does the land require payment of tithes [taxes to support a local landlord, typical in Europe]. . . . The land is very big from Canada to the east of us to Carolina in the south and to the Spanish border in the west. . . . One can settle wherever one wants without asking anyone when he buys or leases something. . . . What does the author have in mind when he calls America a "free country"?

Explanation:

In "Letter by a Swiss-German Immigrant to Pennsylvania" America is the symbol for a free country. By this adjective "free" the author wants to explain how is America a place for living. Free means that everyone is welcome to come.  The author creates a picture of America, where you can settle without asking everyone, where there is a wide landscape, spacious land "from Canada to the east of us to Carolina in the south and to the Spanish border in the west".

One of the most important detail is there is no payment for taxes to land, but in Europe, you must pay. Free country for author means there are no obligations for living there. He thinks that America is promised land.

Draw Conclusions Hamlet's command "Get thee to a nunnery" (scene 1, line 122) can be interpreted in two ways. Either he wants Op
anygoal [31]
The meaning most supported in this scene is that he wants her to retreat to a convent, safe from the corruption of the world.

This is supported through Hamlet's dialogue because most of it puts the blame on men, rather than Ophelia herself. He does, at one point generally put women down when he says "God has given you one face, and you make yourselves another: you jig, you amble, and you lisp, and nick-name God's creatures, and make your wantonness <span>your ignorance," but this is the most aggressive he gets towards women.

Most of the time he is blaming men for the wickedness in the world. He says things like "</span>s as I do crawling between earth and heaven? We are arrant knaves, <span>all; believe none of us." He also references her father, and seems to know that Polonius is watching them. His violence towards her becomes a show for him, further proof of his trying to protect Ophelia from all of the wickedness (including his own) in the world. 

He has been lead to feel this way because through the first two acts he is realizing the impurities and inconsistencies of the way other people feel and act. He sees his uncle's crime and his mother's marriage as proof that people are prone to evil which is tainting his view of marriage in general. </span>

What would most people’s reaction have been to meeting this stranger? Why doesn’t Tom react this way? (the devil and tom walker)
antiseptic1488 [7]
<span>Most people would run from a stranger that they believed to be the devil. The reason Tom Walker stays to converse with Old Scratch is the fault of his greed. Tom desires the treasure Old Scratch has promised him. Though Tom initially refuses the treasure to spite his wife, he eventually makes a deal with the devil after his wife is killed.</span>
