<span>The tone of the final words of the speaker is ominous. He is implying that the duchess is dead without outright saying she is thus. From a certain point of view, it could even be argued that he implies that he may have had a hand in the duchess' smiles stopping.</span>
Answer:
1. He included that heading to encourage readers to be active citizens of their country by voting wisely during elections.
2. Its inclusion was successful because given the hard financial times, and the author's stressing of the most important needs of the citizens, readers would be motivated to choose good candidates with good policies.
Explanation:
The author David Wallechinsky, cited the hard times Americans have been facing and how difficult it is for them to meet up with daily living. The author's inclusion of the heading "What Can You Do?", highlighted the core issues which affected Americans, and these include; meeting up with the cost of dairy, drugs, gas, quality schools, and security.
He encouraged them to elect candidates that did not just make empty promises but who could actually deliver and make life easier for the populace. The statistics of the financial challenges would make readers take the information under this heading seriously.
Creates a conflict for the main character
The poet described about the kill of the Element is given below.
Explanation:
In the 1920s a young would-be poet, an ex-Etonian named Eric Blair, arrived as a Burma Police recruit and was posted to several places, culminating in Moulmein. Here he was accused of killing a timber company elephant, the chief of police saying he was a disgrace to Eton. Blair resigned while back in England on leave, and published several books under his assumed name, George Orwell.
In 1936 these were followed by what he called a “sketch” describing how, and more importantly why, he had killed a runaway elephant during his time in Moulmein, today known as Mawlamyine. By this time Orwell was highly regarded, and many were reluctant to accept that he had indeed killed an elephant. Six years later, however, a cashiered Burma Police captain named Herbert Robinson published a memoir in which he reported young Eric Blair (whom he called “the poet”) as saying back in the 1920s that he wanted to kill an elephant.
All the same, doubt has persisted among Orwell’s biographers. Neither Bernard Crick nor DJ Taylor believe he killed an elephant, Crick suggesting that he was merely influenced by a fashionable genre that blurred the line between fiction and autobiography.
To me, Orwell’s description of the great creature’s heartbreakingly slow death suggests an acute awareness of wrongdoing, as do his repeated protests: “I had no intention of shooting the elephant… I did not in the least want to shoot him … I did not want to shoot the elephant.” Though Orwell shifts the blame on to the imperialist system, I think the poet did shoot the elephant. But read the sketch and decide for yourself.
