Coerce means to do something by using force or threats, he wants to force himself into thinking of it but could not achieve it because his muscles were preventing it.

In this case, coerce<span> means the man had to force himself to do something against his own will. At this particular juncture in the story, all four men were exhausted. Even though the men were near land, the correspondent, being the cynic that he was, still believed that there was more yet to endure. His muscles had been overworked to the point where death seemed to be an equally good option to having to swim toward land.</span>

How does Kennedy’s word choice affect the tone and meaning of this excerpt from the passage? While the wall is the most obvious
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

The excerpt provided in the question belongs to a speech President Kennedy gave in West Berlin on June 26th, 1963. The President's word choices such as "failures", "world to see", "obvious", "offense against humanity" "dividing" help to set the tone and meaning of his speech. Kennedy addressed the audience in Berlin, but also the world, to express the support given by the United States to West Berlin against the wall that the Soviet Union had built. He uses repetition, for example with the word offense, to give a clear message on how the communist system is attacking the freedom of the world and of all of Berlin's citizens, and how democracy is the only solution to the separation of families and communities that want to be together.

Write three to four sentences presenting your prediction about the main conflict in the novel based on how the characters feel a
adelina 88 [10]

Sample Response: The main conflict will most likely be between the animals and the humans. Several ideas in the text support this prediction. First, the animals explain that they live in miserable conditions, and that the humans steal their labor. Then, they state that man is the enemy. Finally, they say that hunger and overwork will disappear if humans are removed from their lives. It seems likely that the animals on the farm will rebel against their human owners.
