Answer and Explanation:

An example of an email following the prompt is:

Dear ...

How have you been? I hope you and your family are doing well!

I happen to have great news, and I just couldn't wait till next month to tell you when you come to visit! I have had the chance to meet George R. R. Martin! Can you believe that?

Well, let me start from the beginning. There was a competition in the last book convention I went to. The person who could memorize the lines of a whole scene from one of his books would be the winner. You know I have a good memory, so I decided to take a shot. And I won!

So yesterday, he attended the convention as a guest speaker. Once he was done talking and answering questions, he went to a more reserved room away from the crowd. And I, as the winner, was taken there to talk to him! My friend, you can imagine I could barely speak at all! It took me a few minutes to begin acting like a normal human being again!

He was polite and funny. He noticed my nervousness and did everything he could to ease it. He offered me some food and beverages, asked me to have a seat, and even began to ask me about my life. With time, I felt less nervous and began to ask him as many questions as I could about his creative process and so on. I was afraid he would be bored by my questions, but he was really thorough in his answers.

The meeting only lasted around 20 minutes. Once I left the room, I felt like I had just come out of a dream. My legs were moving on their own because my mind stayed in that room. I kept trying to remember every word, every gesture, to make that brief moment eternal in my memories.

I will tell you more soon!

Best regards,

Machiavelli had distinct ideas about what it means to be an effective leader. What element had the greatest influence on the dev
olya-2409 [2.1K]

A good Machiavellian leader has 5 specific traits:

1. being feared- in his time it was much better for a leader to be feared, because if the people feared you, they would be less inclined to revolt, as opposed to them loving you.

2. support of the people- you need the support of the people, because without the people supporting your decisions no actions can be made.

3. virtue-show good virtues in public, but do what has to be done to succeed in the privacy of your fortress, so basically lie to the people if necessary.

4. use your own arms- don't be dependent on mercenaries, because your own people are more likely to die for you

5. intelligence- without that you cannot hope to gain the support of your people

Why does the speaker describe death as being "luckier than anyone supposes
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Whitman claims that "All goes onward and outward, nothing collapses, / And to die is different from what any one supposed, and luckier." In other words, life continues and goes on in ways that we do not, and perhaps cannot, expect, and nothing ever truly disappears.
