Swift is satirizing the type of person who would do anything to gain political power.

<u>Satire is a genre of literature that consists in humour and irony that is used to criticize someone or a group of people.</u> This excerpt shows that Flimnap, the Treasurer, is seeking the Emperor's favor and that is what the passage is satirizing: <u>people who are willing to do anything to pursuit their biggest ambition, such as gaining more political power</u>. At the same time, the Emperor of Lilliput is conscious of his political power. He even chooses his ministers for their abilities to wear a tightrope and not for their skills to become leaders. That is the way in which Swift satirizes the Emperor.

What does the fact that Agatha feels she has to run away in order to avoid marriage reveal about Ancient Greek culture
zimovet [89]

Agatha feels she has to run away to avoid marriage because she doesn't have a choice. She is not allowed to choose who she marries. This shows that in Ancient Greek culture marriages were arranged for the women. They were not given a choice to marry for love. Also, this shows that marriage is something that is expected once a person reaches a certain age.

Answer the following questions as you analyze the structure of Mandela’s speech. What is the purpose of Mandela’s speech? How do
kirza4 [7]

The purpose of Mandela's speech was not simply to address the nation as their new president and give gratitude to those who put him there but instead to make a statement that South Africa was going to make immense changes and unify to show the world what the nation could truly do in order to become a land of hope. There are a few purposes to this speech, one being to unify the nation of south Africa by bringing the blacks and the whites together. The speech was also used to motivate and inspire the people of South Africa. I know this because I've studied Mandela's life in one of my subjects at school.

The audience for this speech was the people of South Africa. He addresses every one he possibly can to broaden his audience so that every South African hears his message.

Nelson Mandela

"I stand here before you not as a prophet but as a humble servant of you, the people."

Mandela repeats the word negotiations as he wants to encourage and push for more negotiations - a thing that will bring them closer to freedom.

Buying things on easy instalments keeps you permanently in debt . Write down your points in favour/against the proposition
Leokris [45]
Buying things on easy instalments can keep you permanently in debt but if you have a regular salary or wages this may be the best way to spread out your debts. On the other hand, if you are a consultant or contractor and don't get regular income, it becomes necessary to pay some things with  a lump sum as much as possible in the absence of  regular income.

This scene takes place at midnight and it is so dark Barnardo cannot see the other guard. Barnardo shows up for his shift, but he can't clearly make out who Francisco is. Francisco has the same problem because instead of answering Barnardo he tells him to identify himself first. They get it figured out and Barnardo begins his shift.
