This excerpt is taken from Patrick Henry's famous "Give me liberty or give me death" speech at the Second Virginia Convention in

1775. Which sentence points to the efforts made by the American colonists to avoid war?
Let us not, I beseech you, sir, deceive ourselves. Sir, we have done everything that could be done to avert the storm which is now coming on. We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and Parliament. Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne! In vain, after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation. There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free—if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending—if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained—we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of hosts is all that is left us!

For this assignment, you'll first write a short compare-and-contrast essay about related themes in Oedipus the King with Pablo P
mojhsa [17]

The assignment wants to know your interpretation of themes in these two works. As acting is a very personal thing, I can't show you how you interpreted the stories, but I can show you how to write this essay.

<h3>Test structure</h3>
  • Introduction: Introduce the two works, their authors, and their impact on literature and society. The introduction must be a short paragraph.

  • Body: Write two paragraphs. In the first paragraph, you will show how the themes in the two stories are similar and manage to show similar messages to the reader. In the second paragraph, you will show how these themes are different and address different messages. These paragraphs must be long.

  • Conclusion: You will summarize the most important points of the essay and emphasize the efficiency of each work in forming relevant and very significant themes for current and ancient society. This paragraph should also be short.

The theme of a story is the message that the author conveys to the reader through the text.

Among the themes of Picasso's The Tragedy we can see:

  1. Human suffering as punishment.
  2. The human loss.
  3. Emotional weakness.
  4. Disillusionment amid failures.
  5. Corrupted morals.

Among the themes of Sophocles' Oedipus the King, we can see:

  • The consequences of punishment.
  • The suffering is caused by punishment.
  • Fate versus free will.

Below you can see an example of how your introduction might be written.

<em> Sophocles' Oedipus the King and Picasso's The Tragedy are two very important works for literature and art in general because of their themes, expressions, and meanings. These themes speak directly to the reader's emotions and manage to trigger emotions, reflections, and self-knowledge in a very imposing way.</em>

Realism is a style of writing that
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

B). "Paints" local scenes and tends toward the humorous and sentimental

Explanation:

Realism, as the title itself suggests, a literary form that aims to portray the real life subjects in a true-to-life manner. This literary form was primarily an escape from the prior fabrications and imaginative worlds created by the authors and laid emphasis on presenting the natural truth realistically.

As per the question, Realism would be characterized as the style of writing which ''paints' local scenes and tends toward the humorous and sentimental' aspects of life as the chief goal is to portray the real life situations and psychological developments of characters(represent the inner thoughts ad conflicts of common man') that have led to these situations through which the audience are able to connect themselves. 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' by Twain is a classic example of the blend of humorous and emotional reality of the late 19th century.
