Answer:

In The Giver, the dialogue helps readers learn about the dystopian society in the novel. For example, in the following excerpt, we learn that society members place a great deal of importance on apologizing for mistakes and forgiving others’ mistakes. However, a closer look reveals that the apology and the forgiveness seem like automated responses that lack any real emotion.

“I know,” she [Chief Elder] said in her vibrant, gracious voice, “that you are all concerned. That you feel I have made a mistake.”

She smiled. The community, relieved from its discomfort very slightly by her benign statement, seemed to breathe more easily. It was very silent.

Jonas looked up.

“I have caused you anxiety,” she said. “I apologize to my community.” Her voice flowed over the assembled crowd.

“We accept your apology,” they all uttered together.

“Jonas,” she said, looking down at him, “I apologize to you in particular. I caused you anguish.”

“I accept your apology,” Jonas replied shakily.

Edited passage (corrections are in bold, everything else is fine):

Considered one of the most significant documents in the history of the democracy, the Magna Carta was written by thirteenth-century barons to protect their rights against King John of England. During the American Revolution, the document inspired the colonists in their pursuit of freedom. 

Hope I was able to help! Feel free to leave a comment if you have any further questions :)

which method of communication did president Lincoln use the most to inform the public about the civil war?
Studentka2010 [4]

answer:

the telegraph and announcements

explanations:

the telegraph: was used heavily by the press during the Civil War, had a long-lasting effect on journalism. with a lack of guidelines on how the military would work with the press, both union and confederate governments and armies restricted reporting and closed newspapers, causing tension with the press.

anouncements: on january 1, 1863, lincoln issued the final emancipation proclamation, which declared “that all persons held as slaves” within the rebel states “are, and henceforward shall be free.” the proclamation also called for the recruitment and establishment of black military units among the union forces.

lincoln's 1863 emancipation proclamation freed about 20,000 of slaves in confederate-held territory, and established emancipation as a union war goal. in 1865, lincoln was instrumental in the passage of the thirteenth amendment, which made slavery unconstitutional.
