English

Delvig [45]3 years ago

In this excerpt, the meaning to the word tempers is to exercise control over<em>, </em>which, according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, is an archaic use of the word. In fact, there are other indications of somebody exercising control over somebody else in the passage, for example, "men are ruled by women" "Was it not she (...) That made him send Lord Hastings to the Tower (...)?"

As regards suppliant, in this excerpt it means a person who respectfully asks or begs something to someone in power or authority. In this case, Lord Hastings was a suppliant to the Queen for his delivery.

Explanation:

I had it down to either personification or paradox but a paradox is ultimately true and something will not be able to bury itself so it is personification as in saying the past can bury giving it human characteristics.

Do you think the republican sniper is a hero or a victim of war ?​
sweet [91]

Answer:

This question requires a personal answer. I will give you my opinion so you can see how to formulate the answer and in case you think something different or want to add something else you can do it.

Explanation:

This question refers to the story The Sniper  by Liam O'Flaherty.

I believe that the sniper is a victim of war, even though his actions may be considered heroic.

The fact that I believe that he is a victim and not a hero is the remorse he feels for having killed another sniper, just like him.

Although this person was the enemy, he did not have heroic pride in killing "the villain". Rather, he felt a great guilt for having killed another human being, someone who was a sniper just like him.
