In "We Wear the Mask," people suffer because life is painful and people hide their pain from the world. Dunbar writes the "clay is vile" beneath their feet, implying life on earth is hard and difficult. They do not change their situations because they cannot -- it is implied that to live is to suffer. In the poem these people appeal to Christ to save them. 

In "Sympathy," the bird suffers because it is caged. It sees the beauty of the world around it but it cannot participate in it. The bird cannot change its situation because it is literally imprisoned. The caged bird appeals in its pain to Heaven, hoping God will relive its suffering.

inject “genius, mental vigour, and moral courage” into a conforming public.

Explanation:

These are the two reasons why John Stuart Mill believes that exceptional individuals can be valuable to a culture. Mill was a defendant of freedom of speech, as he believed this was the only way in which new ideas can arise and spread in a society. Moreover, Mill believed that individuals who were exceptional would spread these new ideas and therefore, inject society with mental strength, genius and moral courage, all of which would lead the society to a higher level of thought.

andriy [413]

The atoms and molecules that make up a gas are constantly moving. Temperature is a measure of the speed with which they move (more accurately it is a measure of their kinetic energy). The higher the temperature, the faster they move.  It is thus produced a greater intensity in the collisions against the walls: the pressure of the container containing the gas increases.In this way, if the graph shows the increase in temperature as well as the increase in speed, yes, it is correct.
