The correct answer is D) Dreiser reflects upon his brother's warm and cheerful nature to demonstrate Paul's optimistic outlook of life.

<em>The effect of reflection in this excerpt from Theodore Dreiser's "My Brother Paul" is that Dreiser reflects upon his brother's warm and cheerful nature to demonstrate Paul's optimistic outlook of life.</em>

In this part of the excerpt, Dreiser refers to his brother as "a man weighing three hundred pounds...and yet of so lithesome a build that he gave not the least sense of either undue weight or lethargy." This is how the author describes the vitality of his brother despite the overweight.

But Dreiser continues and ads: "His temperament, always ebullient and radiant, presented him as a clever, eager, cheerful, emotional and always highly illusioned person..." And Dreiser finally ads: "he was so spirited and bubbly, and emotional, and sentimental, that your fiercest moods could scarcely withstand his smile..."

So it is correct to say that the effect of reflection in this excerpt from Theodore Dreiser's "My Brother Paul" is that Dreiser reflects upon his brother's warm and cheerful nature to demonstrate Paul's optimistic outlook of life.

The Declaration of Independence of the United States of America is a document drafted by the Second Continental Congress in Philadelphia on July 4, 1776, which proclaimed that the Thirteen American Colonies - then at war with the Kingdom of Great Britain - had defined themselves as thirteen new sovereign and independent States and no longer recognized British rule; instead forming a new nation: the United States of America.

It can be divided into three parts: a declaration of principles relating to human rights and the legitimacy of the Revolution, a list of specific detailed allegations against King George III of England, and a formal Declaration of Independence.

In the first part there are some references to the principles of Enlightenment and Natural Law, including the reference to "natural and divine law" and the principle of equality: "All men were created equal", and immediately after the reference to "inalienable rights". It also refers to the right of the people to rebel against the established authority theorized by Locke: "it is the people's right to modify or destroy it". So, as we can see, the Declaration of Independence states that governments that abuse people's rights should be transformed or removed, as the American people was doing at that time.

The language that Stowe uses as George describes his country in Chapter 11 is extremely confrontational. George gets into a long conversation with Mr. Wilson and the topic they are speaking on is his "country". This leads into the metaphor, "What country have I, but the grave?George tells his belief that the slave is without a country. His only true home is his final resting place after hie dies. The emotion that George reveals is empathy. The grave metaphor is used to illustrate the idea that he won't be truly free until he has died and that the only American soil that can be considered free for African Americans is the soil of their graves.

its not 100 words... its 116 words.

hope it helps. lol
