Which two lines of text in this excerpt from William Dean Howells's "Editha" demonstrate the author’s opposition to conventional

ideas of patriotism?
"No, you didn't expect him to get killed," Mrs. Gearson repeated in a voice which was startlingly like George's again. "You just expected him to kill someone else, some of those foreigners, that weren't there because they had any say about it, but because they had to be there, poor wretches—conscripts, or whatever they call 'em. You thought it would be all right for my George, your George, to kill the sons of those miserable mothers and the husbands of those girls that you would never see the faces of." The woman lifted her powerful voice in a psalm-like note. "I thank my God he didn't live to do it! I thank my God they killed him first, and that he ain't livin' with their blood on his hands!" She dropped her eyes which she had raised with her voice, and glared at Editha. "What you got that black on for?" She lifted herself by her powerful arms so high that her helpless body seemed to hang limp its full length. "Take it off, take it off, before I tear it from your back!"

<u>Answer:</u>

"You just expected him to kill someone else, some of those foreigners, that weren't there because they had any say about it, but because they had to be there, poor wretches—conscripts, or whatever they call 'em"

These lines are a manifestation of author's strong opposition to the traditional ways of showing patriotism, showing empathy towards the poor and helpless foreigners who could not do anything and were likely to be killed.

*Needs to be completed in the next 3 hours*
Andru [333]

Answer:

Explanation:

To make the world a better place for everyone is not a simple task, The majority of you may ask: "Why?". Well, One of the mostbasic reasons is that this world is ihabited by billions and billions of people, and if it's difficult and nearly impossible to find a single topic in which a whole country agrees, imagine finding something that joins the interests of the whole world?

Secondly, accordong to Freudian theory, human beings always have an uncomplete desire. You yourself, maybe you need something in this moment, and when you get it, there will be another object of your desire. Human beings never stop looking for  complete happiness, or something that fullfills all of their needs, something they never, ever find. The majority don't even know what they are looking for.

Anyway, in order to make of this world a better place for anyone, from the biologistpoint of view, we humans should start taking care of it a little more. If every single human being starts recycling, or throwing their rubbish in the bin instead of in the street, pollution would gradually decrease until it finally gets to the minimum.

Anothe way of making the world a better placewould be trying to be more tolerant among each other. It's not difficult to stop saying bad comments or sharing destructive opinions towards other people. If every human being could save only 1 negative comment per day, the atmosphere would be a little less harsh for anyone.
