<span>Knowing that Howells was associated with the press explains his focus on truthful depictions of events. It also explains the backdrop of the story—the effects of patriotic propaganda in newspapers and magazines to garner public support and manipulate the emotions of their readers.</span>

Answer:

William Dean Howells was an American writer who was a representative of the realism movement. His work is characterized by criticizing social injustices and violence, as well as imperialism and the Spanish war. By knowing this, it is easier to understand “Editha”, which is a story that talks about a girl that believes in war while her fiancée does not. This feeling of “patriotism” leads him to premature death.  In this story, the author expresses his strong opposition to war and to those who agree with it.

I have had many dreams that have predicted the future like the matrix with deja vu. They do have special meanings. Like I said previously if they can predict the future then they can obviously have deeper meanings.

why is it hard for parents to understand their kids so like my mom thought i was being disrespectful for pointing out my view
kati45 [8]
Parents at times feel like all they want to do is ruin your life. there just trying to help you. what your doing is not pointing you view it is talking back. just have a talk with your mom tell sorry and ask her next time calmly if she can see your point of view and if says no then be mature about it and say ok. she is your mo for all you care. hoped i helped.
