Answer choice D - Burns was a veteran of the War of 1812.
This answer is correct because it shows that Burns had already fought in a previous war, thus making him an experienced soldier.
Cyclops and Odysseus are characters in the book "The Odyssey." In the book, Odysseus took away the eye of the Cyclops after he got him drunk on wine. Cyclops invited Odysseus back to the same island, not to hurt or kill him, but to let him know that it was Odysseus that was destined to take his eye from him. Cyclops wanted to treat him well upon his return and befriend him.
<span>Which poets address it in terms of the times they live in (and its threat of fascism) and which address it in a more personal way?
</span>
Answer: First we should know that both of these poet's had a bad experience in their lives, suffering similarly under tyranny and oppression during World War II, which shaped their perspective in very different ways. Milosz is the one that took it very personally and considered his life as emotionally destroyed while Szymborska looked at it as another chance at life that might never be given again. It is clear that the poet that addresses death in terms of the times they live in and as a threat of fascism is Milosz. This is apparent in the poem “City Without A Name”.

Answer: Nature implies suspicion of others but does not state it, while Society and Solitude states directly that suspicion of others is natural.
<em>Nature</em> is an essay by Ralph Waldo Emerson, published in 1836. In this essay, Emerson defends a non-traditional appreciation of nature. It establishes the foundation of transcendentalism. <em>Society and Solitude</em>, on the other hand, is a book by the same author. This collection of essays presents the idea that both isolation and company are necessary for the development and progress of people. In his first essay, Emerson suggest that suspicion of others is natural, but he does not state it especifically. He expands on this idea in the second work.
he most obvious reason Arthur Miller wrote The Crucible (or anything else, really) is because he had a story to tell. Without that, he would not have been inspired to write. It is true, however, that what inspired him to write this particular story is quite personal.
As a Jewish man, Miller was a political advocate against the inequalities of race in America, and he was vocal in his support of labor and the unions. Because he was such an outspoken critic in these two areas, he was a prime target for Senator Joseph McCarthy and others who were on a mission to rid the country of Communism.
Miller was called before the House Committee on Un-American Activities because of his connections to these issues but refused to condemn any of his friends. This experience, a rather blind and sweeping condemnation of anything even remotely connected to Communism without sufficient (or any) evidence, is what prompted him to write about the Salem Witch trials.
In a later interview, Miller said the following:
It would probably never have occurred to me to write a play about the Salem witch trials of 1692 had I not seen some astonishing correspondences with that calamity in the America of the late 40s and early 50s. My basic need was to respond to a phenomenon which, with only small exaggeration, one could say paralysed a whole generation and in a short time dried up the habits of trust and toleration in public discourse.
However, the more he began to study the tragic events in Salem, the more he understood that McCarthy's hunt for Communists was nothing compared to the fanaticism which reigned in Salem in the 1690s.
