The dictionary explains the exact meaning of the word and its different interpretations. The thesaurus gives you different words with the same or similar meaning.

Sample response: A dictionary tells you the definition of a word, and a thesaurus tells you the synonyms and antonyms. You can use a dictionary to check a word’s meaning. You can use a thesaurus to find other words that have similar meanings. You should check definitions of the synonyms in a dictionary, though, because synonyms do not all have the exact meaning.

Now that you’ve read and listened to Franklin D. Roosevelt’s "Four Freedoms," compare the experience of listening to a speech to
vitfil [10]

Answer:

Your answer should include these points:

Content: Discuss how Roosevelt uses both logical and emotional appeals. Note how he first explains why some Americans favor “appeasement” tactics, but these actions are both morally and practically wrong: “We are soft-hearted but we cannot afford to be soft-headed.” He also explains how staying out of the war is no guarantee that the United States will remain safe from German aggression, and he cites the examples of Norway, Belgium, and the Netherlands.

Emotional appeals: Note how Roosevelt invokes the four freedoms. He explains how the United States must go to war to protect Americans and people around the world.

Rhetoric: Roosevelt uses repetition effectively throughout his speech:

Our support goes to those who struggle to gain those rights or keep them. Our strength is our unity of purpose. To that high concept there can be no end save victory.

By repeating the word our, Roosevelt emphasizes that the war is a joint effort that will require “personal sacrifices” from every American.

Parallel structure: The repetition of the phrase “not satisfied” emphasizes that Roosevelt, leaders in the armed forces, and the American people are united in the idea that more must be done to increase the production of armaments.

Tone: Note how Roosevelt varies his tone across the speech. For example, he raises his voice when he says the phrase “everywhere in the world” to stress that Americans will be making sacrifices not only for their own countrymen, but for the world.

Pace: Note how Roosevelt pauses before important words such as healthy, peace time, and victory at the end of the speech to emphasize these ideas.

In "Moby Dic", as the ship is sinking, we see a crew member frantically nailing Ahab's flag to the mast. This detail exemplifies
Andrej [43]
This detail exemplifies the larger theme of the futility of human efforts to dominate nature.
The entire novel revolves around that theme - whether Ahab as a human is capable of dominating Moby Dic, which is a whale and thus a representative of nature. Nature seems to be winning constantly and humans are ultimately unable to conquer it because nature is unconquerable. <span />

Which of the following sentences uses language literally?
zubka84 [21]
The answer is "I went to one class to another all day." It is using language literally as that person actually did go from one class to another, while in the other sentences, figurative language (IE exaggerated or personified language) is used to express the author's point.

How many of the monsters or threats to Odysseus in this part of the epic are female? What do you think of the way women are port
ki77a [65]
<span>Four of the threats that faced Odysseus were women; Calypso, Circe, the Sirens and Scylla. The women are either represented as promiscuous or dangerous because of their actions towards Odysseus. Calypso and Circe both sleep with Odysseus even after causing him harm. Also, the Sirens wanted to harm Odysseus and his shipmen while Scylla ate six of the men. I think most women in the epic so far are shown as not respected and the fact that they are easily defeated by Odysseus shows that they are not as powerful.</span>
