Read the excerpt from Prime Minister Winston Churchill's "Their Finest Hour" speech, delivered to the United Kingdom’s House of

Commons in 1940. During the first four years of the last war the Allies experienced nothing but disaster and disappointment. That was our constant fear: one blow after another, terrible losses, frightful dangers. Everything miscarried. And yet at the end of those four years the morale of the Allies was higher than that of the Germans, who had moved from one aggressive triumph to another, and who stood everywhere triumphant invaders of the lands into which they had broken. The rhetorical technique used in this excerpt is

What is the impact of rilke’s specific word choices on the meaning and tone of his letter?
insens350 [35]

Rilke gives advice in the form of commands. He tells the young poet to “[g]o into [himself]” twice (pp. 6, 9). Rilke also “begs” (p. 5) the young poet to stop looking outside himself for acceptance and reward for his work. Rilke directly instructs the poet which types of poems to avoid when he says, “[d]on’t write love poems” (p.7), and out of what to make his poems, such as the “[t]hings” around him: his “dreams” and “the objects” the young poet remembers (p. 7). Rilke also commands the young poet to “turn [his] attention” (p. 8) to his childhood memories to create poems. Because of all these commands and advice, Rilke’s tone is like that of an instructor or teacher.

 Rilke’s word choices in his advice create meaning by focusing on the importance of the individual, as when he says, “[d]ig into yourself for a deep answer” (p. 6) and make one’s solitude “expand” (p. 8) in order to find answers. When he tells the young poet that “[n]o one can advise or help you—no one” (p. 6), Rilke further develops the idea that for the creator, the individual is all that matters. Rilke’s instructive tone and focus on the individual’s importance in creating art make “Letter One” a lesson in how to become a better poet through intensely looking within oneself.

 Rilke thanks the young poet “for the great confidence” (p. 3) the young poet places in him. Rilke writes that he has tried to make himself “a little worthier” (p. 12) than he really is as a stranger by answering the young poet as “honestly as [he] can” (p. 12). He also signs, “Yours very truly,” (p. 12). Rilke’s word choices create a friendly tone, because he not only thanks the younger poet, but also humbles himself to the younger poet by acting as if he is not worthy of giving the younger poet advice, even though it is the younger poet who wrote to Rilke asking for advice.

Read the excerpt from It's Our World, Too!: Young People Who Are Making a Difference.
Nitella [24]

The statement that best describes the change in Neto since the beginning of the story is:

  • Neto realizes that there is no way of preventing the fans from making racist comments.

<h3>What is Racism?</h3>

Racism is discrimination on the basis of race. Prior to that time, Neto was a positive person who believed that there will be a change to the racism he experience in the school club.

In the excerpt above, it appears that Neto has lost hope in changing the status quo and that was why he walked out despite the coach's admonition.

Share 2 weaknesses that you think you have in communication that you can improve in the future
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

This is a completely personal question that you need to answer with your own weaknesses. But anyway I will give you examples so that you can understand the question and can formulate your own answer.

Explanation:

Communication is the voluntary act of transmitting information between living beings. Communication is related to all living beings, in one way or another, with various purposes and strategies, whether they are microorganisms exchanging chemical signals, birds exchanging songs or human beings exchanging pieces of language.

 Not all people have the same communication skills. Some may have their weakest points such as:

  • Shame of public speaking
  • Lack of language
  • Lack of body expression
  • Low level of written and oral communication
  • There are people who find it difficult to deal with others

All of these language practices can be improved. If you think you need to improve any of these, or even have some other technique that you want to improve, that will serve as an answer.
