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.

How does Edna’s character illustrate the theme that society pressures women to fill specific roles? Use examples and evidence fr
Y_Kistochka [10]
 Edna Pontellier was a controversial character. She upset many nineteenth century expectations for women and their supposed roles. One of her most shocking actions was her denial of her role as a mother and wife. Kate Chopin displays this rejection gradually, but the concept of motherhood is major theme throughout the novel.
Edna is fighting against the societal and natural structures of motherhood that force her to be defined by her title as wife of Leonce Pontellier and mother of Raoul and Etienne Pontellier, instead of being her own, self-defined individual. Through Chopin’s focus on two other female characters, Adele Ratignolle and Mademoiselle Reisz, Edna’s options of life paths are exhibited.
These women are the examples that the men around Edna contrast her with and from whom they obtain their expectations for her. Edna, however, finds both role models lacking and begins to see that the life of freedom and individuality that she wants goes against both society and nature. The inevitability of her fate as a male-defined creature brings her to a state of despair, and she frees herself the only way she can, through suicide.

In at least 100 words, explain the significance of Bartleby's mantra "I would prefer not to" in Melville's short story "Bartleby
galina1969 [7]

The choice of this phrase has a paradoxical meaning in a way that Bartleby refuses to do the task asked from him and the expression of this rejection. It is a refusal, but at the same time it is a polite refusal because even when his boss asks again "You will not?", he answers again with "I prefer not". The phrase emphasizes Bartleby's passive resistance. The different use of the phrase, of course could have had a different effect in the story. It might cause a different demonstration and a different ending for the story. The boss could have replied differently because the refusal would be not polite then. However, the choice is intentional because of the development of the story. Therefore, it is suitable in its own way.
