Answer:
Yes, honesty might hurt a person's feelings but there is something said about being honest. I agree that honesty is the best policy and that it is one of the key foundations that builds any lasting relationship. Honesty is a core value and says a lot about who we are as individuals. We spend a lot of time building trust in relationships but all it takes it one lie for a person to doubt you.
No one in their life seeks out someone who chooses to be dishonest. Rather, we all look for people who we can trust. Whether it is someone we can share minor details with or even share our most intimate secrets with. With honesty, comes reliability. Honesty breeds trustworthy people. When you feel that you can trust someone you are more likely to rely on that person for things in your life.
Honesty makes life easier. I'm sure we can all recall a time we have told a lie and how stressful that can be. Keeping a web of lies straight and untangled can become complicated. Dishonesty causes stress and frustration. It's just simply easier to tell the truth. Plus, I am sure we have all heard the saying, "Eventually in the end the truth comes out".
Honesty is also a sign of respect. When we choose honesty, we show someone a deep appreciation and love for them. Why lie to a person to spare their feelings when sometimes telling the truth could just make them a stronger person? This doesn't mean you have to use harsh words to convey your message. True friendships will value your opinions and seek your advice. When honesty is one of your core values it makes you more of an authentic persons. It's easy for people to put on a mask or pretend to be someone you are not. Honesty pushes us past those uncomfortable situations and forces us to be our true selves and forces us to stand up to/for uncomfortable situations at times.
I feel like honesty is an admirable trait but I truly believe you end up doing more good than harm. Giving them the truth they deserve than allowing them to live in deception and lies. People love consistency and it shows bravery. It takes a strong person to stand up to others and live the truth, to live an honest way. There is bravery in deciding to be honest.

When writing a persuasive essay looking for statistics for a research paper, and writing a synopsis of a play reading a magazine.
"Talk" by Harold Courlander and George Herzog is an example of a humorous essay which is in turn a style of nonfiction writing. In this style of writing, the author uses humor to drive across a pressing issue.
Dukes and duchesses ruled areas called "duchies". These duchies were rarely their own countries, and usually parts of a larger sovereign country ruled by a king and queen. So there would be one king and one queen ruling a country, for example, but there could be several dukes and duchesses ruling smaller territories of the country. Dukes and duchesses are always lower than kings and queens.
Barons and baronesses are the lowest ranking of the nobles. I'm not certain what power they had but I'm pretty sure the title was mostly honorary.
A basic hierarchy would look something like this:
Emperor/Empress
King/Queen
Archduke
Grand Duke
Prince/Princess
Duke/Duchess
Marquess/Marchioness
Earl
Baron/Baroness
I'm pretty sure I left a few titles out, but hopefully that answered your question.
The prevalent tone that this sentence conveys is sadness. The verb 'plodded' suggests exhaustion, 'dragging' implies hopelessness and 'empty night' could be a metaphor for their current perspective of their souls.
