The metaphor compares tea with the entirety of the British empire. It starts by saying that 'tea' should be banished and should go back to Britain "where gold enslaves", meaning where money rules all. The song becomes more broad and loses the specific relation to tea, while attacking Britain's strategy of rule, comparing Americans to being enslaved on a "yoke" (treated like cattle). The final stanza loses the metaphor and is an explicit call to action for everyone to stand up and fight for their freedom.

Which sentence in the excerpt best supports the theme of harmonious living?
Brut [27]

Answer:

So I van and his children might have lived quite comfortably had it not been for a feud between him and his next-door neighbor

Explanation:

The sentence above supports the idea of harmonious living because harmonious living is essentially having a balanced, peaceful life, in which people treat others with respect, and conflicts are avoided.

Iván in the excerpt is described as a person who had a quite comfortable life. He was not rich, but he had all he needed. He had in other words an harmonious life, and the only thing that disrupted his life, was the feud he had with his neighbor. Iván should have tried to cultivate a better relationship with his neighbord instead.

What simile does elie wiesel use to describe moishe the beadle?
r-ruslan [8.4K]
<span>Elie states that, "Physically, he was as awkward as a clown. His waiflike shyness made people smile. As for me, I liked his wide, dreamy eyes, gaz-ing off into the distance." I think it is ironic that the person villagers regarded as a comic figure, of no consequence, should be the messanger of their fate.
