3 0

The Red Badge of Courage documents Henry's growth and maturity as a soldier through the changes in his personality and behavior. During this transition, Henry's emotions run the gamut from glory to fear to depression to anger to exhilaration to courage to honor. His personality and behavior move from innocence to experience, in essence from doubt to duty. Henry's maturing process occurs very quickly. In the span of just a few days, Henry experiences a lifetime's worth of growth — from his enlisting for self-centered reasons of glory, to the exhilaration of his first battle, to his running from his second battle for fear of being killed, and, ultimately, to his facing the enemy and leading a charge as he becomes one of the bravest soldiers in his regiment. Several examples from the novel illuminate the changes which take place in Henry's character and in their relationship to the themes of doubt and duty.

How does “Men of Honor” reflect what Lincoln called “the unfinished work?” What responsibility do we have to follow through on a

daser333 [38]

Answer:

it referred to America's unfinished work to win the fight against racism

Explanation:

Remember, when President Lincoln made the statement,

"It is for us, the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work...that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that, government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

The "Men of Honor" movie focuses on the life of a black Navy officer (Carl Brashear ) who had to struggle with racism in the navy until he gained national recognition for his bravery.

The actual “new birth of freedom" that Lincoln envisioned was one where each citizen is treated equally and fairly by other citizens, a responsibility many want to follow.

Why is othering both harmful and hard to combat

astraxan [27]

it's harmful to not only individuals, but society as well. it is hard to combat because of how society works. If someone very influential says something ra cist, se xist etc on social media, that can teach many people to think saying things like that is okay. alienating someone from society is incredibly harmful, and it can influence others to do the same.

How does Douglass use the Rhetorical Appeals (Ethos, Pathos, Logos)? Look specifically in chapter 10.

natima [27]

Answer:

Pathos: emotional appeal

Logos: logical appeal

Ethos: Connection between pathos and logos to cause credibility.

Explanation:

In chapter 10 Douglas establishes a connection with the reader through the use of emotions implicit in the pathos appeal proposed by the philosopher Aristotle.

According to this literary style used by the author, it is possible to establish a connection that leads the reader to understand the process of transition between the slave man to the free man, this process takes place during a situation that uses the logos appeal in its logic for its development, and it is this connection that presents credibility between the writer and his audience, that is to say the Ethos.

His main idea was to persuade the audience of the atrocities of slavery and that it should be abolished, so through his language eloquently paints a scenario that connects the emotions of the reader taking it to the persuasion of his main idea.
