The Emancipation Proclamation, excerpt

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. A PROCLAMATION.

I, ABRAHAM LINCOLN, President of the United States of America, and Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy thereof, do hereby proclaim and declare that hereafter, as heretofore, the war will be prosecuted for the object of practically restoring the constitutional relation between the United States, and each of the States, and the people thereof, in which States that relation is, or may be, suspended or disturbed.

That it is my purpose, upon the next meeting of Congress to again recommend the adoption of a practical measure tendering pecuniary aid to the free acceptance or rejection of all slave States, so called, the people whereof may not then be in rebellion against the United States and which States may then have voluntarily adopted, or thereafter may voluntarily adopt, immediate or gradual abolishment of slavery within their respective limits; and that the effort to colonize persons of African descent, with their consent, upon this continent, or elsewhere, with the previously obtained consent of the Governments existing there, will be continued.

That on the first day of January in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, all persons held as slaves within any State, or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free; and the executive government of the United States, including the military and naval authority thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of such persons, and will do no act or acts to repress such persons, or any of them, in any efforts they may make for their actual freedom.

That the executive will, on the first day of January aforesaid, by proclamation, designate the States, and part of States, if any, in which the people thereof respectively, shall then be in rebellion against the United States; and the fact that any State, or the people thereof shall, on that day be, in good faith represented in the Congress of the United States, by members chosen thereto, at elections wherein a majority of the qualified voters of such State shall have participated, shall, in the absence of strong countervailing testimony, be deemed conclusive evidence that such State and the people thereof, are not then in rebellion against the United States.

That attention is hereby called to an Act of Congress entitled "An Act to make an additional Article of War" approved March 13, 1862, and which act is in the words and figure following:

''Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That hereafter the following shall be promulgated as an additional article of war for the government of the army of the United States, and shall be obeyed and observed as such:

Article —. All officers or persons in the military or naval service of the United States are prohibited from employing any of the forces under their respective commands for the purpose of returning fugitives from service or labor, who may have escaped from any persons to whom such service or labor is claimed to be due, and any officer who shall be found guilty by a court-martial of violating this article shall be dismissed from the service.

SEC. 2. And be it further enacted, That this act shall take effect from and after its passage."

Read the passage carefully and then answer the question.

In the centre of the room, clamped to an upright easel, stood the full-length portrait of a young man of extraordinary personal beauty, and in front of it, some little distance away, was sitting the artist himself, Basil Hallward, whose sudden disappearance some years ago caused, at the time, such public excitement and gave rise to so many strange conjectures.

How does the writer seem to feel about the appearance of the model he has described?
He thinks the young man is very attractive.
He thinks the young man is very unattractive.
He thinks the young man is very ordinary.
He thinks the young man is very strange.

Answers

Answer: He thinks the young man is very attractive.

Explanation:

From the description of the writer, we can infer that the writer believes that the model is very attractive.

From the passage, it was written that there was a full-length portrait of a young man of extraordinary personal beauty. This sentence implies that the young man was very handsome and attractive.

Explanation:

Why does Elizabeth think that "it should be her privilege to know what the black veil conceal[s]," and why does Elizabeth's "calm energy" change to terror when she tries to persuade Mr. Hooper to remove the veil? Moreover, why does Hooper deny Elizabeth's request and choose to remain behind his black veil, when he could remove the veil and marry Elizabeth instead?

Answers

Answer:

1. Elisabeth believes she has the privilege of knowing what the black veil eschews because she was engaged to the minister and was going to marry him soon. She believes that there should be no secrets between them, since they will be married forever.

2. Her calm turns to terror because while she insists that he reveal what the veil hides and remove the veil, she feels guilty for not trusting him, as well as being afraid that he is hiding something serious it's terrible.

3. Hooper refuses to remove the veil because he believes that Elisabeth must show confidence and loyalty to the man he will marry, in any circumstance.

Explanation:

This question is about "The Minister's Black Veil" written by Nathaniel Hawthorne, where we are introduced to Minister Hooper, who decides to use a black veil that covers his entire face. The minister never removes the veil and the population begins to be afraid of this attitude. Although the minister was an honorable and God-fearing man, the veil makes people see him as sinful, somber and to be avoided. This shows how religious society is judgmental and often hypocritical, even within their religions.

How was a school in the 1930’s different from school today

Answers

The number of students being educated was steadily growing in the first part of the twentieth century, but the Great Depression presented many challenges for students, teachers, and schools. During the Depression, many schools faced budget cutbacks, forcing them to come up with creative ways to keep schools running or close their doors altogether. Although education was highly valued by Americans prior to the 1930's, the limited amount of funds changed the way many Americans thought about education — it was a luxury that could not always be afforded. Now the schools from today are high tech, we have high devices in electronics and more! Hope this helps! Mark brainly please!

Explanation:

Segregated schools were common during the 1930's. Although separate schools for black and white children were required under the law to be “separate but equal,” the buildings, classroom supplies, books, and the treatment of students and teachers were most often unequal.

While the school now, Model good practices such as sneezing or coughing into your elbow and washing your hands, especially for younger family members.

In what ways is “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” similar to or different from a traditional love song, and what does this reveal about modernist attitudes? Cite evidence from the poem to support your analysis in at least two hundred words.

Answers

Answer:

When the poem published in the volume Prufrock and Other Observations in 1917, some critics shocked by the imagery and style, with one commenting, “If the 'Love Song' is neither witty nor amusing, the other poems are interesting experiments in the bizarre and violent. The subjects of the poems, the imagery, the rhythms have the willful outlandishness of the young revolutionary idea.” Before the start of the poem, Eliot includes an epigraph from the Italian Renaissance poet Dante’s Inferno, where the poet journeys through the levels of hell. The lines are from a condemned character who is willing to show his crimes only because he thinks Dante will never leave hell and be able to tell anyone else. So before the poem itself begins, an allusion to hell and a confession that the confessor thinks will remain secret. The poem written as a dramatic monologue where Prufrock, the speaker of the poem, reveals his thoughts and feelings about asking an “overwhelming question” which is never revealed to the listener or asked, presumably to a woman. The poem reveals Prufrock’s uncertainty as his monologue shifts in both time and space. The more he contemplates asking the question, the more he delays, reconsiders, and loses sight of the question altogether. Watch the video to explore the form of the poem. At the structural level, the poem thwarts our expectations of what a love song is. It removes the predictable patterns, and it shifts its rhyme and meter to reinforce the sense of fragmentation and uncertainty.

A firefight should act the same on and off duty. This is because they should be brave, respectful and most of all helpful on the job as well as off the job.

Yes! No matter what job you have you should always act the same on and off duty. For example, if someone’s hurt is a paramedic not going to help them just because they’re off duty? Of course not! If someone if doing something wrong, is a police officer not going to correct them just because they’re off duty? I sure hope not! (And if they don’t help we’ll I don’t think they should have that career. Im just saying.) We always need to support and help each other. If our job is to help others we always need to help others, even if we’re not working. When we start doing that I know our world can be a better place! :)

Explanation:

The sentences have possessive adjectives. In other words, they are pronouns followed by a noun. When we want to add a person's name in the sentence, we have to replace the possessive adjective with the name in brackets. Then we and add the 's, which is the genitive case.

For example, in the sentence These are her keys (Susan), the possessive adjective is her, and the noun that follows is keys, so we write Susan's instead of her. These are Susan's keys.

The possessive case and the genitive case both show possession. Another way to show possession is by writing the word of. To do so, we first identify the possessive pronoun and the noun. Then we change the possessive pronoun by the and, then we write of and the person. For example, In Its dinner is here, it becomes the dinner of the dog is here.
