<span>Now Britain had never been visited by the Romans, and was entirely unknown to them before the time of Caius Julius Caesar, who, in the year 693 after the foundation of Rome, but the sixtieth year before the Incarnation of our Lord, was consul with Lucius Bibulus. While he was making war upon the Germans and the Gauls, who were divided only by the river Rhine, he came into the province of the Morini, whence is the nearest and shortest passage into Britain. Here, having provided about eighty ships of burden and fast-sailing vessels, he sailed over into Britain; where, being first roughly handled in a battle, and then caught in a storm, he lost a considerable part of his fleet, no small number of foot-soldiers, and almost all his cavalry. Returning into Gaul, he put his legions into winter-quarters, and gave orders for building six hundred sail of both sorts. With these he again crossed over early in spring into Britain, but, whilst he was marching with the army against the enemy, the ships, riding at anchor, were caught in a storm and either dashed one against another, or driven upon the sands and wrecked. Forty of them were lost, the rest were, with much difficulty, repaired. Caesar’s cavalry was, at the first encounter, defeated by the Britons, and there Labienus, the tribune, was slain. In the second engagement, with great hazard to his men, he defeated the Britons and put them to flight. Thence he proceeded to the river Thames, where a great multitude of the enemy had posted themselves on the farther side of the river, under the command of Cassobellaunus, and fenced the bank of the river and almost all the ford under water with sharp stakes: the remains of these are to be seen to this day, apparently about the thickness of a man’s thigh, cased with lead, and fixed immovably in the bottom of the river. This being perceived and avoided by the Romans, the barbarians, not able to stand the charge of the legions, hid themselves in the woods, whence they grievously harassed the Romans with repeated sallies. In the meantime, the strong state of the Trinovantes, with their commander Androgius, surrendered to Caesar, giving him forty hostages. Many other cities, following their example, made a treaty with the Romans. Guided by them, Caesar at length, after severe fighting, took the town of Cassobellaunus, situated between two marshes, fortified by sheltering woods, and plentifully furnished with all necessaries. After this, Caesar returned from Britain into Gaul, but he had no sooner put his legions into winter quarters, than he was suddenly beset and distracted with wars and sudden risings on every side.</span>

The writer describes the battles briefly with an emphasis on their outcomes. The writer also describes the setting before each battle. For instance, he mentions in detail how the sharp stakes used to fence the bank of the river were as wide as a man’s thigh.

What major philosophical question is addressed in hamlet's soliloquy?
enyata [817]
Hamlet opens this famous soliloquy <span>with the question of whether it is difficult to live a difficult life full of sorrow and anger or face an unknown area to die. He continues to contemplate death and the doubts it causes. He wonders what happens after each person dies; what is waiting for each of us? He says this uncertainty and the intrinsic fear of what we do not know are afraid of actions that people fear death and may lead to death. If he knows exactly what will happen to us after death, will people notice all the sorrow offered by life? He writes some of these sorrows, such as insults from people, abuse, love without doubt. <span>The main philosophical issues are first - it is difficult to live and die in a tough world.</span></span>

"a modest proposal" what does the title suggest
DedPeter [7]
It suggests a satirical and simple proposal to the problem starving Ireland faced: the lack of food to feed the people.

Of course, the entire modest proposal was that parents eat and sell their children as food and the idea was meant as satire, meaning to be considered with a grain of salt and not seriously (kind of like a really dark joke).

''Modest'' means that the proposal was obvious and simple in the eyes of the author Jonathan Swift but not necessarily in the eyes of others. ''Proposal'' means the general answer to the problem Swift was answering.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer the following questions using the article Titled “Achieving Critical Thinking Skills through Reading Short Stories” by Mo
Elenna [48]

Critical thinking refers to the ability to establish reflective reasoning in the most diverse situations, allowing the individual to make specific observations that help him to reach concrete and precise conclusions.

Critical thinking is a skill and as such it must be stimulated constantly, so that the practice in reasoning and reflection is increasingly improved. It is favorable that this stimulation is carried out since the individual is a child, so that in adulthood there is no problem getting used to complex and intricate concepts. One way to stimulate this type of racism is through reading, which manages to force the brain to think, unravel problems, create arguments and ideas.

Therefore, we can conclude that critical reasoning empowers the individual, who can quickly discern right and wrong things regardless of the environment in which he finds himself, thus preventing him from being deceived or lubricated at any time in his life.
