by President John F. Kennedy

In your hands, my fellow citizens, more than mine, will rest the final success or failure of our course. Since this country was founded, each generation of Americans has been summoned to give testimony to its national loyalty. The graves of young Americans who answered the call to service surround the globe.
Now the trumpet summons us again—not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need—not as a call to battle, though embattled we are—but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in and year out, "rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation"—a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease and war itself.
Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance, North and South, East and West, that can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind? Will you join in that historic effort?
In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility—I welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it—and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.
And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.
My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.
Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own.

this story begins, Circe has just finished giving Odysseus advice. As Circe spoke, Dawn mounted her golden throne, and on the first rays Circe left me, taking her way like a great goddess up the island. I made straight for the ship, roused up the men to get aboard and cast off at the stern. 5 They scrambled to their places by the rowlocks and all in line dipped oars in the grey sea. But soon an off-shore breeze blew to our liking – a canvas-bellying breeze, a lusty shipmate sent by the singing nymph with sunbright hair.10 So we made fast the braces, and we rested, letting the wind and steersman work the ship. –The Odyssey, Homer To begin planning your writing, identify the heroic traits that are present in this passage.

-found myself doubtful again, felt indeed sure I had made a mistake.
By comparing the narrator's feelings to "a little seesaw of the right throbs and the wrong," which mood is created for the reader?
Confidence
Glee
Triumph
Uncertainty

Answers

By comparing the narrator's sentiments with "a little seesaw of the right throbs and the wrong," the writer creates a mood of uncertainty.

Why is this mood created?Because seesaws are objects without stability.Because the seesaw keeps their extremities in contradictory positions.

The positioning and movement that the seesaw assume are what reinforce the narrator's uncertainty. This uncertainty is even more highlighted when the narrator shows that the seesaw is composed of concepts of right and wrong.

This highlights how the narrator's feelings are contradictory, disharmonious, and inconclusive, which prevents him from thinking clearly and having an accurate view of the situation in which he is inserted.

The result of this is that the narrator finds it difficult to be sure, and uncertainty drives his thoughts and decisions. This uncertainty is so strong that it is transmitted to the reader, thus creating the mood of the text.

Egyptian scripts were replaced with Coptic, which included six demotic characters. In the ninth century, Arab scholar Abu Bakr Ahmad Ibn-Wahshiyah was able to partly decipher the hieroglyphs by comparing them to Coptic. But in the eleventh century, it too was replaced, by Arabic. The link was once again severed. For centuries, Western scholars tried to decipher the hieroglyphs, with little success. They were working under a false hypothesis, that the hieroglyphs were pictograms, with each symbol representing an object or an idea.

An essay is typically a condensed piece of writing that presents the author's point of view or narrative. It is frequently used interchangeably with the words "story," "paper," or "article." Both formal and informal essays are acceptable. Formal essays typically address serious subjects and have an intellectual tone. We'll concentrate on informal writings, which are more introspective and frequently contain amusing elements.

Then I walked into Mr. and Mrs. Frank's bedroom.

I pointed it out to Elli. Obeying my gesture, she leaned down and picked it up for me, putting it into my hands. I remembered how happy Anne had been to receive this little book to write her private thoughts in. I knew how precious her diary was to Anne. My eyes scanned the rubble for more of Anne's writings, and I saw the old accounting books and many more writing papers that Elli and I had given to her when she had run out of pages in the checkered diary.
