John Brown was an American abolitionist who advocated insurrection as a means to end slavery in the United States. For his activities outside the law, Brown was accused of treason against the Commonwealth of Virginia, found guilty and hanged.

Prior to his death and after his sentencing, a large number of prominent figures raised money and wrote speeches in his defense. One of this people was Ralph Waldo Emerson. Emerson presented Brown as a common, everyday man who had strong ideals and felt compelled to act upon them. This was intended to present Brown as an admirable man and to invoke sympathy among the people by identifying themselves with him.

Which of the following identifies Andrew Solomon's main claim in the speech?
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

C. It is difficult to seek treatment for depression, as it is viewed as a glorified form  of sadness rather than a serious mental illness.

Explanation:

In his speech, Andrew Solomon narrated his ordeal with depression. This disease is one suffered by many who do not really recognize its difference with sadness. They see depression as a mood which is normal for all humans, and so they do not believe that it requires treatments. They believe that it is something that can be adapted to.

Andrew Solomon sees it differently. He compared sadness to an iron with little rust which can be overcome by just painting and polishing while he compared depression to an iron which has rusted by over a hundred years and has turned to "a pile of orange dust". So, depression is a serious medical condition that needs urgent attention.

Why is the book 1984 important
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

It was intended as a warning about tendencies within liberal democracies, and that is how it has been read. The postwar Sovietization of Eastern Europe produced societies right out of Orwell's pages, but American readers responded to “1984” as a book about loyalty oaths and McCarthyism.
