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)

I can relate to you kinda except I don’t like math but math basically can be challenging and I think if you understand it it’s fun also math is meant to try to figure out things because it’s a challenging subject for me personally but yea I guess you could say math is meant to help us figure out stuff easily or may be hard sometimes but that is life isn’t it. I love reading I agree I love just picturing things or like fantasying I’m there when I read I think reading is lots of fun because I can read about stuff I may never heard about before. And I like to vent sometimes because I have a lot of stuff on my mind so I can relate too you!

Answer: They generate revenue and cover most of the cost of the newspaper staying in business.

Explanation:

Nowadays, majority of the newspapers include advertisements in their editions, together with their regular content.  These advertisements are often referred to as <em>ads</em>. This is a modern way for the companies to promote their services and products, often targeting the larger budget clients. For the newspapers, this is a way to increase their income - the ads actually enable them to continue with their business. Therefore, these advertisements are profitable for both the newspapers and their clients.

damaskus [11]
One of the causes for America's 2009 economic crisis was the invention of subprime mortgages, for 'second class' clients, who previously did not have access to credits, but the innovation of securitizing these mortgages arose, clients paid only interest the first years, making the quotas lower, but the interest rates were variable and then they were increasing and the salaries were being eaten by those payments, the central bank allowed the rules of the game to be changed, because of the crisis that was coming, this left thousands of Americans unemployed and without homes. In all this the government did not intervene favorably, on the contrary, after a while it helped the financial system to recover, but no citizen could do it.
