Read the following excerpt from Mark Twain's short story "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calavares County," and answer the quest

And you bet you he did learn him too. He'd give him a little punch behind, and the next minute you'd see that frog whirling in the air like a doughnut--see him turn one summerset, or maybe a couple, if he got a good start, and come down flat-footed and all right, like a cat.

Answer:

Explanation:

flat footed is OK. If you are flat footed (no arch), the army will classify you as 4F.

Whirling: airplane propellers whirl. This a common enough word

Punch: means a drink or being hit.

The word that is a dialect is edercate. It appears nowhere that I know of. It is used in this excerpt to mean educate.

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.
