Analyze the passage below from John Winthrop, "Speech to the Massachusetts General Court" (July 3, 1645). The great questions th

at have troubled the country, are about the authority of the magistrates and the liberty of the people. … Concerning liberty, I observe a great mistake in the country about that. There is a twofold liberty, natural (I mean as our nature is now corrupt) and civil or federal. The first is common to man with beasts and other creatures. By this, man, as he stands in relation to man simply, hath liberty to do what he lists; it is a liberty to do evil as well as to [do] good. This liberty is incompatible and inconsistent with authority, and cannot endure the least restraint of the most just authority. The exercise and maintaining of this liberty makes men grow more evil, and in time to be worse than brute beasts. … This is that great enemy of truth and peace, that wild beast, which all the ordinances of God are bent against, to restrain and subdue it. Why does Winthrop consider "natural" liberty dangerous?

Answer and explanation:

From the excerpt we can learn that the speaker, John Winthrop, sees liberty as a mixed blessing. Man is given such liberty the same way animals are. But, according to him, man's nature is corrupt. Thus, liberty means the capacity to do what is good as well as what is bad. The speaker believes people should abide by the law, follow the rules, otherwise chaos will reign. Therefore, if man wants to live in a civilized manner, he must refrain himself from doing what is evil. The right way to do it is by respecting authority.

Use the "myth" and "fact" structure to answer the questions. what is the function of the second sentence in the "fact" paragraph
lisabon 2012 [21]

In this text, sentence 2 of the fact is used to disprove the myth. On the other hand, the two sections allow the reader to understand two perspectives on the same issue.

<h3>What is this text about?</h3>

This text focuses on bacteria growth and cooking by providing two perspectives:

  • The myth, or common belief.
  • The fact or scientific perspective.

<h3>What is the function of the second sentence in "fact"?</h3>

The sentence "because the drop in temperature allows bacteria to thrive" explains the reason why the myth is false.

<h3>Why are the two sections included?</h3>

It is likely the author wants to show the contrast between myth and reality and allow the reader to understand how cooking affects bacteria growth.

Note: This question is incomplete; here is the missing section:

Myth #8: Once food has been cooked, all the bacteria have been killed, so I don't need to worry once it's "done."

Fact: The possibility of bacterial growth actually increases after cooking, because the drop in temperature allows bacteria to thrive. This is why keeping cooked food warmed to the right temperature is critical for food safety.

lbvjy [14]

Answer and Explanation:

Scrooge is avaricious and for that reason sees the world as a place of avarez, where people are terrible and do not deserve consideration. He believes that Christmas is an invention to take money from people like him and that nobody needs Christmas to survive, it is something superfluous and meaningless.

His nephew and Cratchit have a very different view, they believe that the world is a place of kind people who can help those in need, Christmas being the perfect time for that, to be generous, loving and to celebrate with the family.
