Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn draws from certain biblical themes, such as a storm symbolizing destruction. Whi

shows this symbolism?
We spread the blankets inside for a carpet, and eat our dinner in there. We put all the other things handy at the back of the cavern. Pretty soon
it darkened up, and begun to thunder and lighten; so the birds was right about it. Directly it begun to rain, and it rained like all fury, too, and I
never see the wind blow so. It was one of these regular summer storms. It would get so dark that it looked all blue-black outside, and lovely; and
the rain would thrash along by so thick that the trees off a little ways looked dim and spider-webby, and here would come a blast of wind that
would bend the trees down and turn up the pale underside of the leaves, and then a perfect ripper of a gust would follow along and set the
branches to tossing their arms as if they was just wild, and next, when it was just about the bluest and blackest-FST! it was as bright as glory,
and you'd have a little glimpse of tree-tops a-plunging about away off yonder in the storm, hundreds of yards further than you could see before;
dark as sin again in a second, and now you'd hear the thunder let go with an awful crash and then go rumbling, grumbling, tumbling down the
sky towards the under side of the world, like rolling empty barrels down stairs-where it's long stairs and they bounce a good deal, you know...
The river went on raising and raising for ten or twelve days, till at last it was over the banks. The water was three or four foot deep on the island
in the low places and on the Illinois bottom.

Explain Mill's "On Individuality" lays the groundwork for the development of liberal democracies in Western nations.
Ksju [112]

"On Individuality" is chapter 3 in J. S. Mill's book "On Liberty". In it, Mill discusses - even though he does not define - individuality and how happiness and achievement of superior pleasures come from it. Conformity to customs could cost a person's joy in living and his/her freedom of thought.

Individuality is directly connected to liberal democracy in the sense that such form of government allows for it to be practiced. Both ideas walk hand in hand. If a person seeks individuality, he/she is striving to think and believe whatever he/she chooses right and proper, or even most profitable. Other forms of government - such as monarchy or aristocracy -, tend to limit or, on occasion, even erase the possibility of self-expression.

It is Mill's opinion that participation in a democracy cultivates the character of the citizens. And cultivation of character is a possible definition of the word individuality. Individuality is achieved when a person is able to see him/herself respected, his/her ideas heard, even if not accepted. The necessary freedom for a person to do that - to think, talk and act on his/her own terms - comes with democracy.

I believe the correct answer is the last one - <span>There is sympathy and support for the children struggling to integrate schools.
The author is talking about an ad that a white man paid to be made so as to show people how cruel and inhumane they are to those people of a different skin color. He wanted to show his gratitude and surprise about how there are still people who want to fight for equality and who want to give every child an opportunity to have an education.

Archy [21]
Stage directions are small lines put into the script (often in italics) that give the reader an idea of potential movement, what's going on in the scene, what other characters may be experiencing or the expression one may see on their faces. That would mean C is the best possible answer here.
