The phrase "the pen, or the scaffold, or the sword" symbolizes

English

valkas [14]3 years ago

Answer:

The phrase symbolizes the tools that can be used to threaten.

Explanation:

Mary Harris Jones, also known as Mother Jones, was a prominent activist during her lifetime.  She worked as a schoolteacher and dressmaker. But after the Yellow fever epidemic hit her city and took away her family and her shop, she began organizing for the Knights of Labor and the United Mine worker.

She quotes that, "I am not afraid of the pen, or the scaffold, or the sword." This phrase symbolizes the tools that can be used to threaten her to stop her work. With pen, someone can write about her, with a sword someone can kill her, or with the scaffold, she could be executed.

But she asserts that she is not afraid and she will continue to spread the truth.

Write the correct form of the number in the text box. (Write only the correct form of the NUMBER.) (26, Twenty-six) people poste
Vadim26 [7]
Hello! There are three commonly used rules when writing out numbers in literature.

The first one is numbers under "10" are written out as words (i.e 1-> one, 2-> two, 3-> three, ect)

The second one is if the number is representing a date, you write it in numerical form (i.e years stay in their number-forms)

The final rule is the one that applies for you is that if the number is the first word of the sentence, then you write it as a word instead of it's numerical form.

So the correct way you'd write your sentence is, "Twenty-six people posted messages to my blog in just thirty minutes."

The state of knowing everything

(to further explain when it comes to third person narration there are three main types of narrators:
-objective: the narrator acts an observer, we don’t learn about any characters’ feelings or inner thoughts
-limited: the story is told from one of the characters’ perspective and we get to to know their thoughts and feelings
-omniscient: the narrator knows everything about all the characters, including all their thoughts and feelings)


hope this helps :)
