The tone in writing is the attitude of the writer toward a subject or an audience. But...it can be conveyed through the choice of words or viewpoint of the writer....so I am not sure if it is " authors attitude " of " authors word choice "....I am leaning towards attitude...
Hello there! :D
I don't want to give you a copy-paste answer but I am willing to discuss and talk about my thoughts on this idea.
This is a quote from Nicholson Baker in his book <em>The Anthologist:</em>
You have to suffer in order to be a human being who can help people understand suffering.
And this quote is from Aristotle:
Learning is not childs' play. Learning is pain.
Experience and connection result through shared experiences, most of them involving pain and suffering because we live in a broken world with imperfect people. Pain and suffering is ultimatley an outlet for connection. Connection and collaboration lead to new ideas and new ideologies. It leads to creation! Ultimatley, the way a person connects with the world is also the way that a person sees the world. Creativity stems from this, this view of the world. There is something inherenet about suffering that makes great art. Nothing truly beautiful was special because it was beautiful, but because it was hard to make and create. Michelangelo's work wasn't special because he was Michelangelo, but because his art was created through labor and pain and time, all finitie limitations that human beings have. Our sufferings.
The quotes are here to help you see the connection between my thoughts and the questions you presented. Feel free to use them and think about them!
I hope my musings helped and that you have a wonderful day,
Kai xx
Can you tell I want to be a philosophy major? xD
Answer:
The central idea in this excerpt is:
A. As a young man, Washington participated in land surveying and fought in the military.
Explanation:
The problem with the other options is that they focus on only one aspect at a time. However, the excerpt makes it clear from the beginning that there are two aspects to be considered when it comes to Washington's life as a young man. That is why it states, right from the get-go: "He pursued two intertwined interests: military arts and western expansion." This sentence, placed before the others, reveals the theme of the passage. Washington participated in military battles and helped with the expansion to the West. For that reason, letter A is the best option.
Answer:
A special kind of repetition involving the beginning consonant sound of two or more words :)
Answer:
The secret of happiness lies in being aware of it.
Explanation:
In general our lives, embedded in a mechanical routine, are lived on a superficious level that hardly leaves room for profoundness. Especially in this hyperactive and digitalised age the time becomes our enemy and is treated as such. Only when we can detach ourselves - or as in the case of Anne Frank, when external forces push us involuntary - from the timepressure imposed by society and ourselves, we can return to ourselves and be consciously aware of our ephemeral existence. This automatically leads to realize the incredible luck we have 'to be alive and in the flesh', as D.H. Lawrence wrote in <em>the Apocalypse.</em>
