Answer:

Believe in yourself instead of conforming to the values of others.

Explanation:

Philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson in his essay "Self Reliance" argue about the effect of polite society on an individual's personal growth. Only self sufficiency is capable of providing freedom to an individual in discovering their true self and worth, bringing forth true independence on the individual.

He emphasized on the importance of an individual to follow their own voices rather than trying to conform to the dictates and values set by the society. He posits the issue of self reliance in oneself and the importance of the imaginary thinking capacity of an individual. He also argues that the most important realization for an individual is trusting himself. He promotes self reliance as an ideal virtue for everyone. "Believe in yourself instead of conforming to the values of others" best sums up the passage provided in the question.

tatiyna
The Stage Manager in the play Our Town serves as a "narrator"; he (or she, in some productions) explains the action to the audience, and since there is little in the way of set decoration, his commentary takes the place of some stage direction. He is a conduit between the action of the play and the audience, at times breaking the "fourth wall" by speaking directly to the audience, and at other times participating in the action. His role is similar to the role of the Chorus in ancient classical Greek drama, commenting on the action to help clarify some of the dramatic elements for the audience and helping to move the plot along.

What does the writer imply in this line from the excerpt?
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

The writer is implying that politicians are shameless people who would do anything for their own gain.

Explanation:

Charles Farrar Browne was an American humorist writer and a comedian who is more better known by his pen name Artemus Ward. His book "Interview With Lincoln" is a satirical or humorous representation of the real world as he sees it.

The passage from the question is from the text where he seems to suggest that the "owner" of the place was a generous place. But with politicians, there can be no honor or full trust. The use of the word "hog-pen" suggests that he is ready to accommodate anyone who's willing to be on his side. After his whole place had been filled, he still wants people to be with him even though there seems to be no space left. Thus, these lines seems to imply that the politicians will do anything if it's going to give them some profit out of the situation. It shows their shamelessness.

Sir/Madam

Subject : Need to improve living conditions in slums.

Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper. I would like to draw your kind attention towards the miserable living conditions in slums. Country’s growth depends upon the skills of the people and the application of knowledge, inherited or acquired by them. The people living in slums don’t have basic facilities like - food, shelter & clothing. They only dream to be educated. The major cause is illiteracy but above all lack of job opportunities in rural areas force these people to migrate from rural to urban areas to earn their livelihood. Thereby many of them land up living in slums. Even if the government gives them houses to live. Many are unaware, a few rent these houses & earn the money & there are some who fight to get the allotted facilities due to corruption in India.

*All this quadruples the problems faced by these people

*Solutions

*Stephen spender in the poem ‘The elementary school in a slum’ talks about the importance of education in our lives.*

“Once these people will be educated their language will be sun”* *Awareness is to be spread

Thank you ___.

Kindest Regards

___

Explanation:

I hope this helps you in any or some way.
