Sword is mightier than pen explain​

English
1 answer:
Kamila [148]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The power, law, and authority can prove to be a stronger force over people in order to control them and convince them than the power of the word, communication, education, and democracy.

Explanation:

Writer Edward Bulwer-Lytton has once said “Pen is mightier than the sword”, <u>meaning the written and spoken word, communication, diplomacy, and sharing the thoughts and ideas is more valuable and likely to win in the fight against brute force. </u>

<u>However, we also can advise that the opposite is true and that sword is actually mightier than the pen.</u>

To win people and conflicts over with the argument, communication, and diplomacy, it takes time, knowledge, and the willingness of another side to replicate. It is certainly better, as winning in this way means you have won long term and that someone has changed their mind in the long run. But the authority, law, power, even violence can likely scare people, make them feel awe, or even with the power of the metaphorical sword for themselves.<u> Being confident and having power gives one the freedom to dictate the rules and get approval from others. This can be more effective sometimes and can produce results fast. </u>

While we might think “pen” is the metaphor for a more human way of education and communication, we must see the reality and comprehend that most of the world functions on the authority of the “sword”. Most people will follow the power and the law,<u> out of necessity, need, wish, or even fright.</u><u> The threat of power and violence is, good better or for worse, a powerful force that can convince people into many things. </u>

<u>Finally, the sword also symbolizes governmental power and jurisdiction. </u>The government is the one that controls other aspects of life, including media, culture, communication, and education, which all are represented by "the pen". If the government doesn't provide freedom of speech and media, communication and information won't have an impact on the people.

Read this sonnet, and then complete the sentences that follows. Be not dismayed that her unmoved mind Doth still persist in her
motikmotik

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

1. English

Edmund Spenser is English. He varied the traditional Shakespearean English sonnet form by changing the rhyme scheme which creates couplet links that connect the quatrains together.

2. abab bcbc cdcd ee

Spenserian sonnets repeat the last rhyme as the first rhyme of the next quatrain. This continuation of a rhyme from quatrain to quatrain ties them together more than previous sonnet forms.

3. lasting love

The poet uses phrases like "endure for ever" and "naught but death can sever" to show how long love can last.

4. metaphor

He is comparing the burning oak to the patience it takes when wooing. He does not use like or as which would indicate a simile. Also, the oak is not being given human traits which is required for personification.

5. knot

He compares the depth of love to a knot so tightly tied and tangled that it cannot be undone.

Courage the cowardly dog based on a true story
BartSMP [9]
It’s based on the perspective of the dog and how he views the world hence why everything else is so scary and not normal compared to his owners who are regular and don’t see what courage does. (I don’t think it’s based on a true story but some episodes relate to the real world)
