A. He hates the old man would be correct.
The mood that these words help create is one of despair and difficulty. Clearly the narrator is struggling, he actually uses the words "difficult" and "struggling" clearly within his paragraph. Other words that contribute to this mood of despair are "fear", "faint", and "hungry". A person usually only feels these things and discusses them when they are in a place that is dangerous and that they have no real hope of getting out of.
Answer: B. It describes the stages of American literature in chronological order to show how each period relates to the ones before and after.
Explanation: We see that the paragraph starts out with America's colonial day's. Since the colonists were new to the area they looked to where they came from to help them write literature because they just didn't know how to do it on their own yet. Then we get to the American Revolutionary War, towards the end of 1700's, which helps create a new identity for the colonists. They are were no longer under the tyranny of the British government, which allowed for them to explore their new found freedom, create an identity, and live a life they they wanted now. They could be creative without the backlash of the British Government. Then we go into the 1800's, which during this era, there were many wars, exploration of the new land, a government had been established, land was being obtained, and people were moving out of the 13 colonies. Then we go into the 20th century, 1900's. 1900's was an era in which this nation experienced many life changing events. It was times of WW1, Roaring 20s, Great Depression, WW2, Korean War, presidents changing policies for the better or for the worse of this nation, Vietnam War, Hippies Era, time where drugs where introduced, advancements in medicine, Civil Rights Movements, and many more events that changed this nation. Now we are in the 21st century current events change the scope of literature, like it did in the past. Experimenting with different genres together creates new literature.
Hope this help kiddo.
God said that Kugler committed the nine murders because of his desire for money, and because he was angry. He did it both out of necessity, and for pleasure.
"There is NOTHING MORE DISTRESSING to every good patriot, to every good American, than the hard, scoffing spirit which treats the ALLEGATION of dishonesty in a public man as a cause for laughter. " - really good line imo
My best guess would be answer C.
My reasoning is the words used and the meaning behind them, without the need of being emboldened " nothing more distressing " is a powerful a way you can distinguish something to be distressing. The speaker/author is speaking powerfully; anent? I believe the speaker is having issues with how indifferent the public is reacting when a person of government has been dishonest (or when a person of government is accused of being dishonest). He says in fact that the "scoffing spirit" among people that take these allegations lightly, is to him, the most distressing event.
Therefore my best guess would be that this speaker is speaking with criticism towards those willing to hear.
