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.

The central idea and most awakening fact of how knowledge is different from wisdom, the knowing of something that must be used wisely is showcased in this story.

Explanation:

This story starts off with the description of a man who travels in minus fifty degrees to reach a camp that has his friends hanging out. There is a dog along with him accompanying this travel. Eventually, because of the increased cold, the dog realizes that it is unsafe to travel further towards the camp. This is late realized by the man, but makes a fire nearby and rests before he sets off again.

This does not result fruitful as the man finishes up on steam and twigs to light up fire anymore. He realizes that he cannot move any further and remembered the advice of an experienced old miner, who told him not to travel alone or without proper equipment in minus fifty degrees. He curses himself to take this decision of ignoring the advice and dies at the end.

The dog, with its instincts realizes not to travel any further and waits in a place better than other. The man being insensible and ignorant dies at the end.

NISA [10]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The website for my school project will be about an English lesson, about history, as an educational topic.

We cannot create the image for you, but we can give you the information so you can illustrate it.

The appearance and parts of your website. would be like the following.

First, it has to be an attractive website. This means that has to include the kinds of colors to catch the attention of the students. Secondly, it has to include at least, 50 percent of illustrations, graphics, photographs, and video. The other 50 percent would be text.

This way, we make the site more attractive. There are students who better learn through visuals, others, through text.

Another important component of the site would be the way information is structured. First, the title of the topic. Then a short paragraph followed by some bullets with key information. Next, some photos are followed by a couple of paragraphs, and finally a conclusion. At the bottom of the page, there will be a short video about the lesson.
