THE AUTHOR DIVERTS THE EMPEROR, AND HIS NOBILITY OF BOTH SEXES, IN A VERY UNCOMMON MANNER—THE DIVERSIONS OF THE COURT OF LILLIPU

T DESCRIBED—THE AUTHOR HAS HIS LIBERTY GRANTED HIM, UPON CERTAIN CONDITIONS. My gentleness and good behavior had gained so far on the emperor and his court, and indeed upon the army and people in general, that I began to conceive hopes of getting my liberty in a short time. I took all possible methods to cultivate this favorable disposition. The natives came by degrees to be less apprehensive of any danger from me. I would sometimes lie down and let five or six of them dance on my hand . . . . Based on the passage above, how would you characterize the motives of the narrator?

write a dialogue between Safety and Privacy. Act as if the concepts are two people trying to support their side. 250-word minimu
Tresset [83]

Answer:

Makayla: "today in class we were talking about whether privacy or safety was better and I think its privacy."  

Angie: "No I think it would be safety"  

Makayla: "I feel like privacy would be more important because personal space is important. I wouldn't want random people all up in my business."  

Angie: "Girl you need help! It's obviously safety because if random people knew your address then you would not be safe, you would have a bunch of weirdos knocking on your front door."  

Makayla: "Oh my goodness that's why you put ghost mode on duhh. If you don't have privacy people can be reading all your messages and well, that's messed up and would feel very uncomfortable.”  

Angie: “That may be true but if you're not safe then you could get hurt. Like if I went to the park alone at night if I'm not safe next thing you know I'm getting kidnapped and I never see home again... or you”  

Makayla: “every conversation we have you always assume the worst and you overreact!!!”  

Angie: "It happens like every 2 minutes how can you be so sure it won't happen to you. That’s why safety is more important than privacy.”  

Makayla: “ay ay ay” *she said while exhaling  

Makayla: “imagine being at work, Privacy helps us manage our reputation. We work in the same place so you know what I mean when I say People are very judgmental, they judge without hearing the whole story. With privacy, people won't do that because they know how to respect you!

Angie: "ugh whatever can we just agree that they are both important"

Makayla: "oh my god... I never thought of that."

Angie: "because you don't have an open mind like me."

Makayla: "ok because we will never get over it if we don't."

Angie: "MK talk to you tomorrow."

as they walk away in different directions...

Angie: "when will that girl get that obviously safety is better." *she mutters

Makayla: "REALLY I HEARD THAT ANGIE!"

*They start to laugh

Personal note:

thank you for reading this I hope you stay safe during these unprecedented times.

PS: if you think it's good I hope you can mark brainliest and i will be coming out with a webtoon in 1 more year thanks for waiting

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

1. The speaker is in a contemplative mood.

2. The word 'turn' in this context means being born into the fold of animals instead of humans. It is a sort of reincarnation.

3.  The speaker wishes to live with animals because they are calm, not easily upset, and contented.

4. Alliteration was employed in the words- long and long.

Explanation:

1. The poet Walt Whitman was likely contemplating or thinking to himself of all the attributes of animals which made them pleasing to him.

2. As a human, if he was to turn and live with animals, that would mean no longer being born as a human but rather being born into the fold of animals.

3. The speaker wishes to live with the animals because they are 'placid and self contain'd' which means that they are calm and not easily upset. They are also contented and do not drag each other for worldly possessions.

4. Alliteration is the repetition of the first letters or sounds of a string of words in a phrase. The letter repeated by the speaker is 'l'.
