Answer:
The statement that best describes how the pipe player influenced Caesar's crossing of the Rubicon is:
"Take we the course which the signs of the gods and the false dealing of our foes point out. The die is cast.”
Explanation:
Crossing the Rubicon was historically symbolic. While it violated an ancient Roman tradition and decree that forbade any provincial governor from crossing the small river which separated Italy from France (or more specifically the province of the Gaul), it afforded Caesar the chance he had strategized and waited for to become a Roman maximum ruler and conqueror. So, Julius Caesar seizing the moment provided by the example of the god-like human who suddenly appeared before him playing a flute, crossed the Rubicon on January 10-11, 49 B.C. This marked a point of no-return to normalcy. So, following the footsteps of the god, i.e. the figure who crossed the stream with his war-like songs, Caesar decided ultimately to violate the orders of the Roman Senate because he strongly believed that the gods had given him the go-ahead to cross the Rubicon and make war on Rome. The rest, as they say, is history. And the die is always cast when someone decides to cross the Rubicon.
Answer:
In the first excerpt, the purpose is to justify, and in the second is to to inform.
Explanation:
The declaration of independence is structured starting with a feeling from the country: "In every stage of these Oppressions", and the constitution's preamble starts stating who were the authors: "We the People of the United States"
Then, the declaration states who the authors are: "the Representatives of the united States of America" while the preamble shows the reasons of the coming constitution
Finally, the declaration states its main purpose and the preamble also declares the purpose of the constitution.
The tone in the declaration is dramatic, and in the preamble it is a lot more sober.
Success would be his unless he could reach a table in the restaurant unsuspected
I don’t know if you have to use different words but you could use unnoticed instead of unsuspected?
Beah and his companions experience hunger and thirst the likes of which none of them had encountered before. They scavenge abandoned farms and even stooped to assaulting a little boy who had two boiled ears of corn to himself. The boy’s parents, rather than confronting the young men, instead give them each an ear of corn; Beah assumes pity saved them from punishment. Beah feels guilty about their pillage, but accepts that they had no other option.
