English

never [62]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The Ship of State is a famous and oft-cited metaphor put forth by Plato in Book VI of the Republic (488a–489d). It likens the governance of a city-state to the command of a naval vessel and ultimately argues that the only people fit to be captain of this ship (Greek: ναῦς) are philosopher kings, benevolent men with absolute power who have access to the Form of the Good. The origins of the metaphor can be traced back to the lyric poet Alcaeus (frs. 6, 208, 249), and it is found in Sophocles' Antigone and Aeschylus' Seven Against Thebes before Plato.

Words That Support the Author's Purpose
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

The phrases that support the author's purpose of describing how lovely and full of life the place was:

Supports Purpose

-wildflowers delighted

-places of beauty

-countless birds

Is Neutral

-the snow

-in winter

-Along the roads

Explanation:

These are words that supports the author's purpose and the ones that are neutral.

The phrases "places of beauty", "wildflowers delighted", and "countless birds" all support and give credence to the loveliness and liveliness of the place.

However, the neutral words that do not directly support the author's purpose, the neutral phrases "the snow", "in winter", "along the roads" are just used to describe the weather and road without supporting the author's description of liveliness.
