How does Kennedy’s word choice affect the tone and meaning of this excerpt from the passage?

English

BaLLatris [955]3 years ago
7 0

The excerpt provided in the question belongs to a speech President Kennedy gave in West Berlin on June 26th, 1963. The President's word choices such as "failures", "world to see", "obvious", "offense against humanity" "dividing" help to set the tone and meaning of his speech. Kennedy addressed the audience in Berlin, but also the world, to express the support given by the United States to West Berlin against the wall that the Soviet Union had built. He uses repetition, for example with the word offense, to give a clear message on how the communist system is attacking the freedom of the world and of all of Berlin's citizens, and how democracy is the only solution to the separation of families and communities that want to be together.

Answer: B. And my father sold me while yet my tongue

Could scarcely cry 'weep! weep! 'weep! 'weep!

Explanation:

The speaker here is saying that their father gave them up to the labor market at an age when they could barely even cry talk more of speaking. This is an allusion to how young they were because children are less likely to be able to speak the younger they are.

This shows just how bad the Industrial Revolution was for children who were forced to work. The owners of the factory didn't care much for their age and only cared about the profit they stood to make and so hired them and paid them little wages which then went to their parents.

What is the antithesis of freedom?
vampirchik [111]
<span> The exact opposite of freedom depends on how you define "freedom." Freedom can mean independence, opportunity or without restriction. So many words come to mind that would mean the opposite including slavery, captivity, imprisonment, confinement, restraint, among others!!! </span>

Yes I think this is a true statement. Searching a résumé for keywords can be compared to searching the Internet when conducting research. But I'm not 100% sure. :(
