Answer:A personal philosophy of values can be defined as an individual making personal choices to define right and wrong behavior as opposed to external laws or culture determining right and wrong for the individual.

One example of Ernesto's development of a personal philosophy of virtues, as seen in Ernesto Galarza's autobiographical novel Barrio Boy, concerns the virtue and even necessity of hard work. We see Ernesto develop his philosophy of hard work all throughout the novel. Starting in his Mexican village called Jalco, tucked away in the mountains, Ernesto learns that to be a man is to work hard, night and day, in order to provide for your family. In his village, his labors were rewarded with provisions for the family; later, he learns that work can earn wages too. While in the village, his main chores are to care for, to provide for, his pets.

Even once his family moves to Sacramento to escape the violence of the Mexican Revolution, Ernesto continues to work hard for his family. While going to school, he purchases a used bike and applies for a job delivering papers for the Sacramento newspaper. After working the newspaper route, he acquires several other jobs, including farmhand, a pharmacy clerk, delivery boy, and even the decorator of Christmas cards. During summer vacations, he works in the Mexican immigrant labor camps and becomes so incensed by the treatment of the laborers that he complains to the state officials even though his complaints are disregarded. Regardless, both his dedication to hard work and fair treatment show that he has developed the personal belief that hard work is a virtue because it brings provisions and that people deserve the provisions that their labor should bring.

Describe the structure of the poem, and explain
siniylev [52]

According to a different source, this question refers to the poem "Burning a Book" by William Stafford.

In this poem, the author employs a free verse structure in the poem. This means that the author does not follow a strict rhyming pattern. The main theme of the poem is that ignorance and lack of new ideas are great threats to society. He claims that this is even worse than burning a book:<em> "More disturbing than book ashes are whole libraries that no one got around to writing." </em>Therefore, the author encourages innovation, ingenuity and creativity. This is emphasized by the free verse that the author employs.

President Lincoln’s second inaugural address <br> Part B
miskamm [114]

Answer:

Fellow Countrymen

At this second appearing to take the oath of the presidential office, there is less occasion for an extended address than there was at the first. Then a statement, somewhat in detail, of a course to be pursued, seemed fitting and proper. Now, at the expiration of four years, during which public declarations have been constantly called forth on every point and phase of the great contest which still absorbs the attention, and engrosses the enerergies of the nation, little that is new could be presented. The progress of our arms, upon which all else chiefly depends, is as well known to the public as to myself; and it is, I trust, reasonably satisfactory and encouraging to all. With high hope for the future, no prediction in regard to it is ventured.

On the occasion corresponding to this four years ago, all thoughts were anxiously directed to an impending civil-war. All dreaded it -- all sought to avert it. While the inaugeral address was being delivered from this place, devoted altogether to saving the Union without war, insurgent agents were in the city seeking to destroy it without war -- seeking to dissole the Union, and divide effects, by negotiation. Both parties deprecated war; but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive; and the other would accept war rather than let it perish. And the war came.

One eighth of the whole population were colored slaves, not distributed generally over the Union, but localized in the Southern half part of it. These slaves constituted a peculiar and powerful interest. All knew that this interest was, somehow, the cause of the war. To strengthen, perpetuate, and extend this interest was the object for which the insurgents would rend the Union, even by war; while the government claimed no right to do more than to restrict the territorial enlargement of it. Neither party expected for the war, the magnitude, or the duration, which it has already attained. Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with, or even before, the conflict itself should cease. Each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. Both read the same Bible, and pray to the same God; and each invokes His aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's faces; but let us judge not that we be not judged. The prayers of both could not be answered; that of neither has been answered fully. The Almighty has His own purposes. "Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!" If we shall suppose that American Slavery is one of those offences which, in the providence of God, must needs come, but which, having continued through His appointed time, He now wills to remove, and that He gives to both North and South, this terrible war, as the woe due to those by whom the offence came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a Living God always ascribe to Him? Fondly do we hope -- fervently do we pray -- that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue, until all the wealth piled by the bond-man's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash, shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said f[our] three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the Lord, are true and righteous altogether"

With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan -- to achieve and cherish a lasting peace among ourselves and with the world. to do all which may achieve and cherish a just, and a lasting peace, among ourselves, and with the world. all nations.

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

D. The author follows the comment with "Mrs. Sue lied again."

Explanation:

Verbal irony is a type of lie that is added to the text. This kind of irony is perceived when the character says something, but actually thinks the opposite of what he said, that is, what the character says is not really what he wants and does not represent his real thoughts about a certain thing.

In the case shown in the question above, we can conclude that the use of verbal irony was established to show that Sue was lying, since she said something, but wants the exact opposite.
