Answer 1

Answer:

The Influence of Religion in Phillis Wheatley's Life

Phillis Wheatley overcame extreme obstacles, such as racism and sexism, to become one of the most acclaimed poets in the 18th Century. Her works are characterized by religious and moral backgrounds, which are due to the extensive education of religion she received. In this sense, her poems also fit into American Poetry. However, she differs in the way that she is a black woman whose writings tackle greater subjects while incorporating her moral standpoint. By developing her writing, she began speaking out against injustices that she faced and, consequently, gave way to authors such as Gwendolyn Brooks and Countee Cullen.

On July 11, 1761, a slave ship from Fula, West Africa…show more content…

In general, religion was a large part of Boston. Few slaves were encouraged to attend church; however, the Wheatleys attended New South Congregational Church and encouraged Phillis to embrace the Lord as they had (Mason 4). Because she was asthmatic, she attended Old South Congregational Church, which was closer to the Wheatley residence (Weidt 15).  

By the age of twelve, she had become quite familiar with the Bible as well as literary works of contemporary English poets. In addition, she translated works by the Latin and Greek writers Ovid and Homer, respectively (Mason 4). At this same time, after being in Boston for about four years, she began to take an interest in writing (Mason 4). Susanna supplied Phillis with paper and ink to enable her to write and even allowed Phillis to ignore her household something that was practically unheard of for a slave (Mason 5). However, Susanna was accommodating because she wanted Phillis to pursue her religious education and believed that writing would enable her to do so.

Answer 2

Answer:

Phillis Wheatley Peters was born in West Africa in 1753. At the age of eight, she was kidnapped, enslaved in New England, and sold to John Wheatley of Boston. The first African-American and one of the first women to publish a book of poetry in the colonies, Wheatley learned to read and write English by the age of nine, familiarizing herself with Latin, Greek, the Bible, and selected classics at an early age. She began writing poetry at thirteen, modeling her work on the English poets of the time, particularly John Milton, Thomas Gray, and Alexander Pope. Her poem “On the Death of the Rev. Mr. George Whitefield” was published as a broadside in cities such as Boston, New York, and Philadelphia and garnered Wheatley national acclaim. This poem was also printed in London. Over the next few years, she would print a number of broadsides elegizing prominent English and colonial leaders.

Explanation:

one of her poems

ON VIRTUE

O Thou bright jewel in my aim I strive

To comprehend thee. Thine own words declare

Wisdom is higher than a fool can reach.

I cease to wonder, and no more attempt

Thine height t’explore, or fathom thy profound.

But, O my soul, sink not into despair,

Virtue is near thee, and with gentle hand

Would now embrace thee, hovers o’er thine

head.

Fain would the heav’n-born soul with her converse,

Then seek, then court her for her promis’d bliss.

Auspicious queen, thine heav’nly pinions spread,

And lead celestial Chastity along;

Lo! now her sacred retinue descends,

Array’d in glory from the orbs above.

Attend me, Virtue, thro’ my youthful years!

O leave me not to the false joys of time!

But guide my steps to endless life and bliss.

Greatness, or Goodness, say what I shall call thee,

To give an higher appellation still,

Teach me a better strain, a nobler lay,

O thou, enthron’d with Cherubs in the realms of day!

Write a letter to the king stating your views in opposition to the change to an absolute monarchy l. Give your reasons for opposing the change. Be specific and give examples. Be sure too tell who you are what status you may have

Answers

Answer:

In this fictitious scenario, my name is Henry Decass, a nobleman, childhood friend of the king.

Explanation:

Your royal highness.

After receiving the news about the changes in the format of the monarchy that will change from a limited monarchy to an absolute monarchy, I reflected a lot on the matter and with concern I humbly decided to write to you, asking you to reconsider this change.

In my humble opinion, I see absolute monarchy as a very complicated and tiring system. It is not correct that you, as king, have the full power of our territory. This is because, although you recognize you as a genius, you cannot take all the burden of a country for yourself, as it would spend much of its energy and rationality. It is necessary that the power of the kingdom be divided and that although you are the great master and responsible for everything, it is preferable that there are men of trust who can help you manage this power, the kingdom that is very extensive and that has chances of becoming extend further.

As I said earlier, I recognize that your majesty is great, but unfortunately, you are not omnipresent and cannot command everything, absolutely alone, because in addition to bringing management risks to the kingdom, I believe it will bring risks to your health.

I apologize if it was inconvenient, because as you well know I have always honored our friendship and complicity above all and I have faith that you will listen to my advice with kindness.

From your eternal servant,

Henry Decas.

This isn't help with an assignment more of helping understanding a history thing. So my question is, how does a country purchase something from another one? Wouldn't Dollars be worthless to Britain? Also how is it possible for the government to go broke, can't they just print the money, plus if they make the currency, couldn't they just change it. I get that Money from one country is worth some amount in another country, but how the heck would the other country benefit from foreign money, like don't they print the money, and having foreign money wouldn't help with purchasing things in their own country. I don't know a lot about this type of stuff, so I could be wrong, i'm not even entirely sure countries print money. This is my first brainly question so sorry if it's long.

Answers

Answer:

A country purchases something from another country through agreements or quite simply a business deal, when dealing with a foreign currency the country exchanges the dollar for another type of money. Let's say you're an American and you want to go to Mexico, obviously you can't use American dollar to buy something in Mexico. Then you go and exchange that money for a Mexican dollar "peso," now you have Mexican money and they have American money and then Mexico can use that American money to buy things in American vice versa. A government can go broke due to recessions this includes, lack of jobs, frequent bankruptcies, and poor economy in general. Yes a country can just print more money but that does not mean it has value, you don't just add more fuel to the flames in hopes of extinguishing it. For example, there's a dollar in Zimbabwe that has a value of around 100 trillion but the dollar is not valuable, in fact, that dollar is worth 40 cents in American money. Adding onto "why can't a government print more money," if it was that easy why isn't each country as prosperous as the US for example.

Anti-Federalism

A. A national government needs the power to tax

B. The country needs a national currency to reach its economic potential

C. Without a Bill of Rights, the national government will become a tyranny

D. Democracy will only work in a large republic

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf C. \ Without \ a \ Bill \ of \ Rights, \ the \ national \ government \ will \ become \ a \ tyranny}}[/tex]

Explanation:

The Anti-Federalists were opposed to strong government. They were mainly "ordinary citizens" and farmers. Some key members were Thomas Jefferson and Patrick Henry.

Their core beliefs included:

A strict Constitutional interpretation A general fear of one centralized government. They championed state governments and a small republic.Opposition of the Constitution (they wanted to preserve the Articles of Confederation, because they aligned with Anti-Federalist beliefs) A Bill of Rights to protect the people's individual freedoms that could be threatened by strong governmental influence

So, based on the Anti-Federalist beliefs, they would not want to give the national government more power through taxation (choice A) or a national currency (choice B).

They also would despise a large republic (choice D).  as they favored smaller government.

However, they did fight for a Bill of Rights, hoping it could protect the people from a too-powerful government. Choice C is correct.

"The wind came back with triple fury, and put out the light for the last time. They sat in

asking if He meant to measure their puny might against His. They seemed to be staring at the
dark, but their eyes were watching God."
