The U.S. Civil War is the most written about war in American literature. It affected hundreds of thousands of people from all walks of life, allowing its narrative to explore many universal themes. The main universal theme that is covered in Civil War literature is the glorified war. Young men have lost their lives on both sides, and often war is perceived as senseless killing.

Another common universal theme in Civil War literature is power. Along with war being glorified, we see different power struggles on both sides, amongst the people, fighting for the war to turn to their favor. Power is used to influence, is forever present, and can be used or abused. Power came in any forms; essential leaders such as the President and Army Generals, the states, and the federal government.

Glorified war and the use of power are some of the many examples of universal themes in Civil War literature.

Highlight imagery that portrays gods wrath.
Harrizon [31]
You would highlight burns against them and the fire is made ready, the furnace is now hot, ready to receive them, the flames do now rage and glow.

You would highlight those things because God's wrath is being personified as, or compared to, a fire, as revealed in the line the wrath of God burns against them. The fire is made ready... seems like an extended metaphor.

How to Build a Fire Pit 1. Create the base. To ensure you get the preferred size, begin by using a tape measure to measure the d
lesantik [10]

The revisions that would make the diagram of the fire pit more effective are:

1. Including images for each step of the process;

2. Adding a label to indicate the depth of the fire pit;

3. Including labels for all materials mentioned.


Those revisions would make it easier for the person building the fire pit to visualize the work that has to be done and the way it is supposed to be done. Understanding the materials, their appearance and use is an important step to ensure the success of the project. Since the depth is crucial for the fire pit to function properly, being able to visualize the correct depth is also essential for the building. The pictures of each step would help eliminate possible doubts, especially if the images are well depicted and numbered.

Read the passage and highlight sentence fluency errors you find.
Tasya [4]
1. There has to be a conjunction between "important," and "other" because otherwise, the sentence doesn't seem coherent. You can place 'but' between those words to make it correct, and to connect the two ideas into one sentence.
2. The phrase 'such as journal entries and poetry' should be placed after 'period' because otherwise, it is located too far from the word it is supposed to describe. So, 'fiction from that time period, such as journal entries and poetry, can be just as valuable.'
3. Again, there should be a conjunction between the words 'read' and 'they' because the way this sentence is written, it doesn't seem connected. You can write either '...are interesting to read because they give..." or '...to read as they give...'
