Everyone in Starkfield knew him and gave him a greeting tempered to his own grave mien; but his taciturnity was respected and it

was only on rare occasions that one of the older men of the place detained him for a word. When this happened he would listen quietly, his blue eyes on the speaker’s face, and answer in so low a tone that his words never reached me; then he would climb stiffly into his buggy, gather up the reins in his left hand and drive slowly away in the direction of his farm. Judging from the context, the word "taciturnity" here means

Can i please get help for both these questions 1. Compare and contrast the conflicts faced by Orwell in “Shooting an Elephant” t
Vesna [10]
I can only answer the 1st question.
Both men in these stories faced peer pressure. They were pressured to go against their own beliefs in order to satisfy society's demands.

<span>“No Witchcraft for Sale.” - In this story, Gideon did not bow down to peer pressure. He kept silent and gave the impression of succumbing to the pressure given to him but doing what he wanted to really do. He gave the wrong root to satisfy the demands of the public. He also signified his displeasure by being more formal to his employers and for keeping his silence.

"</span><span>“Shooting an Elephant” - In this story, the police man gave in to the pressure of shooting the elephant not because it is a legal thing to do but because of self-preservation. He doesn't want to appear as a fool to the public that detests him. He preferred to be hailed as the one who shot the elephant than be further jeered as the one who did not shoot the elephant. 

Both men did what they did to serve their own purpose. Gideon's way was sticking to his values while the police man sacrificed his own values to ensure an acceptable place in the community he lives in.  </span>

Now that you’ve read and listened to Franklin D. Roosevelt’s "Four Freedoms," compare the experience of listening to a speech to
vitfil [10]

Answer:

Your answer should include these points:

Content: Discuss how Roosevelt uses both logical and emotional appeals. Note how he first explains why some Americans favor “appeasement” tactics, but these actions are both morally and practically wrong: “We are soft-hearted but we cannot afford to be soft-headed.” He also explains how staying out of the war is no guarantee that the United States will remain safe from German aggression, and he cites the examples of Norway, Belgium, and the Netherlands.

Emotional appeals: Note how Roosevelt invokes the four freedoms. He explains how the United States must go to war to protect Americans and people around the world.

Rhetoric: Roosevelt uses repetition effectively throughout his speech:

Our support goes to those who struggle to gain those rights or keep them. Our strength is our unity of purpose. To that high concept there can be no end save victory.

By repeating the word our, Roosevelt emphasizes that the war is a joint effort that will require “personal sacrifices” from every American.

Parallel structure: The repetition of the phrase “not satisfied” emphasizes that Roosevelt, leaders in the armed forces, and the American people are united in the idea that more must be done to increase the production of armaments.

Tone: Note how Roosevelt varies his tone across the speech. For example, he raises his voice when he says the phrase “everywhere in the world” to stress that Americans will be making sacrifices not only for their own countrymen, but for the world.

Pace: Note how Roosevelt pauses before important words such as healthy, peace time, and victory at the end of the speech to emphasize these ideas.
