In the excerpt from the "Speech to House of Commons of the British Parliament, 4 June 1940," Churchill laments the death of the brave British soldiers who lost their lives fighting for their country. As the speech progresses, he talks about Hitler’s “plans for invading the British Isles.” Churchill motivates the British people by reminding them of Great Britain’s comradeship with its allies in the war. He stresses his idea of not giving up:

We shall defend our island whatever the cost may be….

In the 1941 war speech from the video, Churchill talks about the horrors committed by Hitler:

What tragedies, what horrors, what crimes has Hitler and all that Hitler stands for brought upon Europe and the world!

He strongly declares that all destruction caused by the Nazis is “being repaid and presently they will be more than repaid.” Next, he describes the “misery of the conquered people” and how they are “oppressed in the interest of a fanatic paganism devised to perpetuate the worship and sustain the tyranny of one abominable creature [Hitler].”

In both speeches, Churchill talks about the devastation brought by Hitler and its terrible effect on people around the world. The themes of the speeches are the same. He motivates and arouses the audience to not give up easily and to fight Hitler until his vile dictatorship is brought to an end.

Churchill uses parallelism in both speeches for its rhetorical effect:

But one thing is certain, one thing is sure, one thing stands out stark and undeniable…

(from the video speech)

We shall not flag nor fail. We shall go on to the end. … we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air. We shall defend our island whatever the cost may be; we shall fight on beaches, landing grounds, in fields, in streets and on the hills. We shall never surrender…

(from "Speech to House of Commons of the British Parliament, 4 June 1940")

Also, Churchill’s tone in both speeches is similar. He uses a motivating tone to keep the fire of retaliation burning among the people of his nation. (PLATO)

How does the author of "Solar-Powered Public Buildings? Not So Fast, California!" support the claim that an increase in solar po

levacccp [35]

Hello. You forgot to enter the answer options. The options are:

ineffective, because the author relies only on personal opinions rather than facts to point out problems with solar power . ineffective, because the author supports the opposing viewpoint by introducing the idea that solar power is popular . effective, because the author reveals the significant costs of readying California’s public buildings to run on solar power effective, because the author shows that less than half of California’s energy supply comes from solar power.

Answer:

effective, because the author reveals the significant costs of readying California’s public buildings to run on solar power

Explanation:

The author of the text presents evidence on how the use of solar energy is expensive, which often makes it difficult to use this type of energy in buildings, especially public predictions. This could be a problem in California, where the demand for solar energy is high and there are many advocates who advocate the use of this energy without taking into account the expenses to maintain an uninterrupted supply of it.

Read the passage from an article in a school’s newspaper.

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

In my opinion, the answer would be 2. The players who were working at the carwash impressed the customers with their hard work.

Explanation:

I think this would be the answer because a relative clause gives more information about the noun, in this case the players, in the sentence. In addition, a relative clause begins with either who, which, that, and whose, these are called relative pronouns or where, why, when, these are called relative adverbs.

The players= the noun

who= the relative clause

How is symbolism used to convey Esperanza’s feelings?

zimovet [89]

This question seems to be incomplete. However, there is enough information to find the right answer.

Answer:

Both the trees and Esperanza have "skinny necks and pointy elbows", and both don´t belong where they are. The trees should grow in nature, not in a city. Similarly, Esperanza feels like she doesn´t belong in the neighborhood. Furthermore, the resilience of those trees that "grew despite concrete" symbolizes Esperanza´s resilience to persevere notwithstanding the impediments imposed by her being poor.

Explanation:

The question refers to the section Four Skinny Trees from the book “The House on Mango Street,” by Sandra Cisneros.

There, the four trees found in her front yard symbolize Esperanza´s experience of feeling like an outsider and wanting to reach out for something else.

Evaluate the culture presented in the story. What details do you notice that show this story is not taking place in the United S

Viktor [21]

Answer:

Descriptions of the setting, particularly the names of the streets, indicate "Araby" does not take place in the United States.*

*See explanation for a more in-depth answer

Explanation:

There are subtle ‘hints,’ or details, presented throughout the story that show “Araby” is not taking place in the United States. For starters, the story states these two specific street names: “North Richmond Street” and “Buckingham Street.” Now, these are two street names that America does have. There is a Richmond Street located in Palmdale, California and there is a Buckingham Street in Fullerton, California. Based on this information alone one might (unknowingly & incorrectly) assume that the story is taking place in America. However, there is one sentence in the story that reveals this story could not have taken place in the United States. Read the first sentence of “Araby”:

“North Richmond Street, being blind, was a quiet street except at the hour when the Christian Brothers' School set the boys free.”

According to this sentence, there is a Christian Brothers’ School located on North Richmond Street. Only one place in the world has an all boys school located on a street called North Richmond. That place is Dublin, Ireland. Therefore, based on the gathered information, it is safe to say that this story takes place in Dublin, Ireland; not the United States.

FUN FACT:

The Christian Brothers’ School on North Richmond Street changed its name to O’Connell Secondary School.
