Answer:

Smith uses omniscient narration and simple, direct and very discrete language that establish a strong exposure on how to deal with and live with emotional turmoil.

Explanation:

"Martha Martha" is a short story that features two women, in different stages of life, different ages and totally different lifestyles, but who have one thing in common, both are dealing with something of the past that causes a strong emotional turbulence in each one. However, each of them deals with it differently and tries to live their lives in the best way they can. To show this challenge, the author of the short story uses the omniscient narration that manages to show what the two women are thinking and doing, in addition to using a very direct and funny language to show this to the reader.

Answer:

<em><u>Inspiring:</u></em> It is an old and a true maxim "that a drop of honey catches more flies than a gallon of gall." So with men. If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him that you are his sincere friend. Therein is a drop of honey that catches his heart, which, say what you will, is the great high-road to his reason.

(Abraham Lincoln address at Washingtonian Temperance Society, 1842)

<em><u>Grateful: </u></em>My Friends, No one not in my situation can appreciate my feeling of sadness at this parting. To this place, and the kindness of these people, I owe everything. Here I have lived a quarter of a century, and have passed from a young to an old man.

(Lincoln's Farewell Address at Springfield, Illinois. February 11, 1861)

<em><u>Determined:</u></em> As Americans we can not but sympathize in all efforts to extend the blessings of liberty, but at the same time we are warned by the admonitions of history and the voice of our own beloved Washington to abstain from entangling alliances with foreign nations. In all disputes it is our interest not less than our duty to remain strictly neutral.

(Zachary Taylor, Inaugural Address, 1849, adapted)

<em><u>Commanding: </u></em>The advantages arising from a system of copyright are obvious. It is desirable that we should have a supply of good books; we cannot have such a supply unless men of letters are liberally remunerated; and the least objectionable way of remunerating them is by means of copyright.

(Copyright, A Speech Delivered In The House Of Commons, 1841)
