Answer:

In this excerpt, Reagan uses:

C. allusion to give his speech more authority.

Explanation:

Allusion is a figure of speech in which a reference is made to something or someone. It is common for the author or speaker to not explain much, since he assumes the audience knows to whom or what he refers.

<u>In this particular case, President Reagan used allusion with the purpose of conferring his speech more authority. The Bible is a well-known book, even in countries where Christianity is not prevalent. In the U.S., a country largely constituted of Christians, alluding to the Bible is a way to immediately inspire respect and evoke obedience. Therefore, mentioning the wisdom "contained in the book of Genesis in the Bible" helps Reagan's speech sound more authoritative, more worthy of respect</u>.

Discuss the character triad of Tesman, Lovborg, and Judge Brack. Explain each character’s role in the triad and how they foil ea
Contact [7]

Judge Brack is a friend of Tesman and his wife, a person who goes to their house a lot. He constantly puts himself into the business and affairs of the tesman, and can even say that with ulterior motives (interest in hedda, tesman's wife). Tesman, for his age, is naive and foolish, always trying to please Hedda, he competes for a professorship, and Brack passed on information about it, to lend him a hand and help him. All this with a hidden desire, the desire to approach Hedda. Lovborg in this triangle, is Tesman's biggest competitor in the academic world. At some point in this story, it is explicit that he and Haddad had a relationship. In that case, the three of them are connected to one person, Heddad. Tesman is aware of the competition with Lovborg, but does not know anything about Judge brack. The role of each of them is 3 men in love with the same woman. Tesman is the one close to Hedda, Judge brack is the one trying to be in the middle of their relationship, and lovborg hides an old relationship with her.

Take a position in the debate over the literary canon and support it. Your answer should be at least one hundred words.
White raven [17]

It is known as a literary canon to the set of classic works that are part of high culture. These works, either because of their formal characteristics, their originality or their quality, have managed to transcend times and borders, becoming universal and always valid.

The criterion for choosing the works of the literary canon should be aesthetic excellence, but this concept is very subjective because what a person can consider attractive another person may find boring. On the other hand, those who limit themselves to consume the books established in the list of the canon lose the opportunity to know an endless number of works that could please them more, and even contribute more to them intellectually and emotionally.

It is true that it is important for students to know classical works of literature such as the odyssey, the divine comedy or more recent works as a hundred years of solitude, however, it is necessary not to marginalize other literary works equally good and profitable for students only because they are not on the list of the literary canon.

The current society has evolved, we no longer have the same thought that we had at the time when the classic works were written. A clear example of this is the role played by women in today's society, the importance of women was a taboo subject and little mentioned in many of the works that are in the list of the literary canon by which many schools are governed, and this can lead to students not exploring and understanding this important topic.

In conclusion, the literary canon is a list of classical works because of their importance at the time they were written and therefore it is important that students know them, because through these works they can understand the behavior and thought that people had in other times.  However, it is equally important that students read recent works of current interest that allow them to compare current society with the old one, and the evolution that has occurred in the literature.
