Answer:

"Even though we started at the very same time, Alexander Hamilton began to climb”: Positive connotation. Aaron Burr said that Alex was learning quickly in New York and was so successful, he got promotions.

Explanation:

“Why do you always say what you believe? Ev’ry proclamation guarantees free ammunition for your enemies!": Negative connotation. Burr is warning Hamilton that if he continues to say whatever is on his mind, his enemies will use that against him.

Diane L. Eck asks, "What religious attire may one wear? A cross? Yarmulke? Head scarf? Turban?" (par.1). What is the rhetorical

Anarel [89]

Diana L. Eck is an American scholar of religious studies and professor of Comparative Religion and Indian Studies at Harvard University. She is also the Director of The Pluralism Project at Harvard.

In this excerpt, the order in which she presents the items serves a rhetorical purpose. The items are listed in order of how "accepted" they are in mainstream American society. Christianity (a cross) is well-accepted, while Judaism (yarmulke) is still omnipresent, but more contentious. As she goes on, the list would appear more and more exotic to American readers. The question therefore is successful in testing the limits of religious plurality.

What is a good phrase to choose from the Declaration Of Independence to base a rap on?

labwork [276]

You could do the phrase "Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness." These are obviously the unalienable rights guaranteed in the Declaration of Independence. For example, you could say something like "without these unalienable rights, the country would be just a mess." Hope this helps!

Describe, in your own words, Sartre’s idea of the importance of reality and how that concept informs his view of cowardice.

In his 1946 work "Existentialism is Humanism", Sartre explores existentialism and its effect on humanity. He states that a coward is: "defined by the deed that he has done. What people feel obscurely, and with horror, is that the coward as we present him is guilty of being a coward." The action of the coward defines him, an aspect that can be changed only by him. If he is committed to change what defines him, he can erase the notion of being a coward.

Nevertheless, Sartre mentions that “There is no reality except in action”, and this reveals the importance of reality. Humans, regardless of the outcome of an unattainable future, are still in control of some aspects of their reality through their actions; thus, they can shape their individual futures in a way.

This is "total freedom" defined solely by the individual, as Sartre says: "Those who hide from this total freedom, in a guise of solemnity or with deterministic excuses, I shall call cowards." What matters in someone's existence is what is decided. A decision is going to shape someone's reality and will define whether the person is a hero or a coward.
