Answer:

The lottery paints a seemingly happy setting in the first paragraph,

The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely and the grass was richly green.

We get the sense that this small agricultural town is meeting to celebrate some special event. This setting is a form of plot manipulation that underscores the irony behind the dark reasons for the gathering.

Kipish [7]

If I was writing a Travel brochure advertising a visit to the Giza Pyramid, I would highlight the following points:

  • The Pyramids of Giza date back to nearly 2,560 BC, more than 4000 years old!

  • They are the grandest and the most well-preserved examples of the Great Ancient Egyptians

  • The biggest pyramid in Giza stands at roughly 450ft tall and was the tallest man-made object for more than 3000 years until being surpassed by the Lincoln Cathedral

  • It is close the great capital city of Cairo. This means it is easily accessible by car with numerous tours operating in the area.

Why is Senator Margaret Chase Smith addressing the U.S. Senate? To whom are the remarks delivered? Cite textual evidence to supp
Alla [95]

The question is incomplete and the full version can be found online.  

Answer:

As the title states, the remarks on this speech are delivered to the Senate and are meant to highlight the lack of action against Senator Joseph McCarthy (1908-1957) and his campaign of persecution and defamation against suspected communists.

Senator Margaret Chase Smith´s speech called all Senators to reject McCarthy´s tactics and honor their responsibility to do right by the American people.

Explanation:

The question refers to “Remarks to the Senate in Support of a Declaration of Conscience,” Senator Margaret Chase Smith´s “Declaration of Conscience” speech from the Senate floor, delivered on June 1st, 1950.

To compel her peers, she offers her perspective on the matter:

"As a United States Senator, I am not proud of the way in which the Senate has been made a publicity platform for irresponsible sensationalism. I am not proud of the reckless abandon in which unproved charges have been hurled from this side of the aisle."

She also warns that American people are "afraid to speak" and claims that no one should "be in danger of losing his reputation or livelihood merely because he happens to know someone who holds unpopular beliefs."

What is a monologue? I need to write a monologue but I have no idea what it is, I know it’s a speech but like does it have to be
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

A monologue is a speech given by a single character in a story. In drama, it is the vocalization of a character’s thoughts; in literature, the verbalization.

Explanation:

A monologue speaks at people, not with people. Many plays and shows involving performers begin with a single character giving a monologue to the audience before the plot or action begins. Monologues give the audience and other characters access to what a particular character is thinking, either through a speech or the vocalization of their thoughts. While the purpose of a speech is obvious, the latter is particularly useful for characterization: it aids the audience in developing an idea about what the character is really thinking, which in turn helps (or can later help) explain their previous (or future) actions and behavior.
