The __________ is used for an event that will continue to occur in the future until a specific time.

He was trying to show the view of the Native Americans from a peer's experiences. He believed that the clash between the whites and Native Americans was because they didn't respect each other's customs and beliefs. Franklin wanted to give the Native Americans a voice. The Indian men, when young, are hunters and warriors, when old, counselors; for all their government is by counsel of the sages; there is no force, there are no prisons, no officers to compel obedience, or inflict punishment. Hence they generally study oratory, the best speaker having the most influence. The Indian women till the ground, dress the food, nurse and bring up the children, and preserve and hand down to posterity the memory of public transactions. These employments of men and women are accounted natural and honorable. Having few artificial wants, they have abundance of leisure for improvement by conversation. Our laborious manner of life, compared with theirs, they esteem slavish and base; and the learning, on which we value ourselves, they regard as frivolous and useless. An instance of this occurred at the Treaty of Lancaster, in Pennsylvania, anno 1744, between the government of Virginia and the Six Nations

Incomplete question. Here's likely the full question;

Spenser’s “sonnet 75”: "Vain man, said she, that dost in vain assay a mortal thing so to immortalize; For I myself shall like to this decay, And eke my name be wiped out likewise.

Lines from Donne’s "holy sonnet 10”: one short sleep past, we wake eternally, and death shall be no more; death, thou shalt die.

Which statement best describes how the sonnets convey the idea of mortality?

a. in both sonnets, the speakers seek to understand why mortality is so final and unavoidable.

b. in both sonnets, the speakers say that people need to be immortalized to be remembered after death.

c. the speaker in the first sonnet seeks immortality, while the speaker in the second emphasizes the need to accept mortality.

d. the speaker in the first sonnet says mortality is inevitable, while the speaker in the second emphasizes that the soul continues on.

Answer:

c. the speaker in the first sonnet seeks immortality, while the speaker in the second emphasizes the need to accept mortality.

While the second speaker emphasizes the need to accept mortality which is made evident by the words, "thou shalt die."

How does the author use the character of editha to voice his own opinions

agasfer [191]

The character of Editha is a foil, developed to portray the fickleness of the arguments that support war. The author ironically reveals how Editha repeats the passages from newspapers and magazines supporting the need to go to war. But the author takes a step further to give us a view of Editha’s perception when she says, "But now it doesn't matter about the how or why. Since the war has come, all that is gone. There are no two sides any more. There is nothing now but our country." Finally, toward the end of the story, Mrs. Gearson sarcastically says, "No, you didn't expect him to get killed," a commentary by the author to show the ignorance of people who idealize war.
